I was so excited I posted before checking. Stupid deerstalker cap & pipe didn't work. I felt so Sherlock Holmes.
You gonna get them in the Phillipines ?
I just brought a LHD 1998 Jimny in the UK but still have to wait 5 years before I can bring it into the US. Well, gives me time to modify it.
After seeing the history & the ideas behind the styling of the new Jimny like taking queues for the single indicator from the LJ10/20 I now want one but it will be another 25 years before they're legal here.
Looking for a nice clean and straight LHD Jimny..... Not any more.
Got one that seems to have been magnatized and driven through the "Big Jimny Bits" parts stores too quickly so it missed a few items.
They are supposed to be coming here at the end of this year or the beginning of 2019. Honestly, I have mostly stopped following the new release. I guess I'm what Filipinos call "tampo". Basically, that translates to pouting. It is clear from the specifications that they continue to use the TW-40 transmission and that just barely met the torque input specifications mated to the M13. I have been a fan of the auto gearboxes for off-roading for some time but would worry about the new model. I think the torque output of the K15B is going to cause some problems with the current AT. Maybe I just need to go back to the dark side and use a manual transmission.
Keep your fingers crossed for the States. I know Suzuki was teaming with Toyota on some project. There were some rumors a while back that Toyota may actually be tempted to enter into a small 4X4 market in the U.S. If that happened, it would almost certainly be a rebadged Jimny. That gets into a long-shot rumor, but it's fun talking about.
I started out with nothing & still have most of it left
Has anyone got any firm info if it will be front wheel drive or rear wheel drive when in 2w high, I have read a couple of articles which suggests it will be front wheel drive including this TG magazine review?
When you look at the ends of the axles you can see what looks like a free wheel hub on the front with just a cap on the back, it would be difficult for it to be fwd with that.

One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.
ADOS Attention Deficit Ooooh Shiny!
To me it is the current jimny underneath. Pretty much the same chassis and running gear. Pictures coming out of Japan seem to show modifiers fitting current lifts to new jimny's. I think it will be rear wheel drive in 2 high
