Hi all,
A newbie Jimny owner here. Just collected my olive green Gen 4 LCV Jimny from our local Suzuki dealer, so I have a bit of adjusting to do in getting used to it. It's my first 4x4 and is mainly going to be used to get to our finca (olive groves) 3km away, to see our donkeys, pull a small trailer to collect hay & straw from the local agricultural warehouse, plus exploring the many off road trails that wind their way around the hills behind our village.
It is replacing a VW Caddy which has served us well and is going to a friend after our next trip back to the UK at Xmas. Our main road vehicle is a VW id Buzz, which will be used a lot more than it has been up to now.
Already fitted a steering wheel cover to fatten & soften up the skinny hard plastic wheel & just got a tactical thigh pouch to hang off the wire bulkhead between the seats to store odds and ends.
Now I just need to put on some mileage & get used to origamying my self into the driving seat.

Thank you, piccies will be posted over the weekend.
We moved to Mas de Barberans, a small village in the south of Catalunya 16 years ago. It is situated on the lower slopes of the Els Ports natural park, which is full of dirt trail roads, with one of the longer ones taking you 21km up into the hills to a viewpoint called the el Tres Reyes (Three King's) as you can see Valencia, Arragon & Catalunya from there. Only been there once, as it can be a punishing drive in a road car if they haven't graded the surface. If the weather is good, we hope to get up there this weekend.
