Wow 5 Gen3s and having another new Gen4 while they are still errrr - new!
Yes you are getting through cars.
Got me thinking, only ever had 11 (everyday) cars since I passed my test 40 years ago.
Jimmy (current), VW Polo TDI (overrated junk), Citroen C1(great), Nissan Micra (ok), Reliant Scimitar (sounds great), Citroen Zantia (so comfortable) Ford Sierra (1.5 kids), Citroen 2CV6 (so good), VW Jetta (Nice car), Ford Escort MK2 (need I say more), Hillman Avenger (my first car), in this order!

Is that a lot or am I Mr average?

The best are
Jimny - I would have another.
Citroen 2CV - I got another as a play thing
Hillman Avenger - It's my first car, would love a Tiger version.

Just old man ramblings, forgive me.

It just made sense to sell it and start again. Still a 4 month waiting list here, so got a bit more for it than I paid two years ago, but not enough to buy a new one.

I don't have a gen4. Temeraire is a face lift gen3. The aesthetic, driver aids and price of the gen4 don't do it for me.

Temeraire (2018 quasar grey automatic)
One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.
ADOS Attention Deficit Ooooh Shiny!

Thread steal here ...if you've had your Gen-4 that long, i wan to know (if you or anyone else knows) how long are the actual rear shafts (long and short) in the Jimny Gen-4?

We know that Suzuki lentghed the axle casing by "around" 20cm but we need to know exaclty how long the new Gen-4 Rear shafts are, and we cannot find a diagram to confirm this.

We need to know EXACTLY how long each shaft is so we can manufacture Shatfs for a Floating Axle Kit for a Jimny Gen-4.

We have measurements for the Jimny Gen-3, and everything for the Floating Ale for a Gen-3 is complete and shafts are currently in progress.
