Hi All :0)

Hey everyone, (not sure if i've posted in the correct section) but hey,
Im a complete beginner when it comes to Jimnys I have admired them for some time and plan on buying my first very soon. I also really want to get into green laning, I live in the East Lancashire Area and was wondering if there was anyone around whom could giove me some advice / show me the ropes

Many Thanks

welcome along Ben.
You've come to the right place!

Get yourself a Jimny ASAP and start enjoying, its very capable offroader straight out the box so just get one and have fun!

Hi and welcome to Bigjimny.
There are quite a few of us around Lancashire and Yorkshire and we are all here to help. You have just missed a large meet of us in Briercliffe, Burnley. I'm sure we will do that again soon.

Welcome mate!

Buy before winter, prices for 2nd hand Jimnys go up then.

A standard Jimny is very capable, good tyres are the most important purchase.

Check out the threads on what to look for when buying a Jimny.

hi welcome to the forum jimny great choice im more than happy with mine it got me over the north york moors in severe snow which was closed by the mountain rescue !

Hi Ben Welcome to the BIG JIMNY Forum.

hi and welcome

hi and welcome,lots of good guys on here,with lots of knowledge.
my jimny may be for sale soon as iam considering having a jimny built by KAP suzuki. :evil:

Welcome alomng and as has been said - buy soon, some of the prices I've seen Jimjams selling for recently are at the lowest I've ever seen - yet in the winter their prices were silly for obvious reasons.

I've not been laning round your way but can point youin the general right direction of how to find local lanes etc if you need help - but the first place to start is with the Pink covered Ordanance Survey maps for your area - Landranger ones I think they are called and look forthe little red crosses - they are Byways Open to All Traffic and then check with your local Council Rights of Way Officer that they are still legal as the maps can be seriously out of date even if bought new!

Always go with someone else as you can get stuck, especially with a standard Jimny and put the credit card away somewhere safe to stop you spending a fortune modifying it!!!

Welcome to the forum, you'll find lots to read and get your head round.

Great motor the jimny, you won't regret it.

Hello and welcome, we may not all be local but all willing to help


as some one said above ^^^ "buy one ASAP"

I had a jimny before, over time wanted a bigger 4x4 and bought a shogun, that went horribly wrong to much dollar ( needed new engine etc etc)


bought another jimny :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
love them

found this page, will help you on what to look out for when buying a jimny

read the last two paragraphs

Thanks all for the warm welcome and comments. Sorry for the late reply, I've been away.

Is there any particular models or years I need to avoid? I want to be using it as a daily driver (to and from work).

Thanks all again for the welcome
