Thanks I'm pretty pleased with it. They're 235/75/15 nexen roadian mts. They're well priced but will hopefully still perform well.

It's service time this weekend for the jimny, but I'm uncertain on what oil to use, I believe the handbook suggest quite a variety of oils are compatible depending on climate ect, but I'd like to know what you guys are using.
Ideally it will be a choice of semi synthetic 10w40 or fully synthetic 5w30 as I can get hold of good quality oil from work.

Also as I'm planning to change the diff oils would I be right in assuming it requires regular 80w90 gear oil? Again what do you guys use or recommend.

Thanks in advance

Had the jimny out and found a few lanes, it faired well, I'm pleased with it so far!
I found about 8 different lanes over the last couple of night but 4 of them we got half way down and found they had trees across

I've fitted my arch extender (rubber strips) and got my castor correction all fitted along with little bits like floor mats (bargain, £11.99 from amazon for deep floor mats with a ridge around the edge to catch all the crap)





My old man payed for some tuition at essex off road for me as a birthday present. Learnt a hell of a lot, the guy that took me round, Charlie, was excellent and showed me how to make it look easy as a complete novice I couldn't believe how simple it was to be honest, it was very much a case of letting the car do all the work.

Nice one mate glad your enjoying yourself, and yes the little jim is very capable like a mountain goat :laugh:

slow and steady, let the suspension do its thing and roll on through.
