Our new Jimny nearly ready - excited

Sierra is the JDM name for what we would call the SZ5 spec. in the UK.
Presumably they didn't call it a Sierra in the UK as a Sierra was a jelly mould shaped Ford car that you could never start when the weather was cold (cooking versions) Ford also did a Sierra Cosworth which was a sort of inferior Lotus Carlton.

OK, so we picked it up this afternoon at 4pm, its really for the missus tbf I had an old navara dual cab 3.3 v6 which is also pretty capable offroad But this thing just makes you smile. we took it for a spin to the coast (about 50km ), guess I will get some pictures tomorrow.

Its brisk blue, and we got it with
Ironman GVM upgrade/lift
ironman bullbar ( too many roos around here bull bar comes in really handy )
Ironman Snorkel ( probably not entirely necessary but the dust can really kick up especially if you are not the first car in the convoy, and wasnt much extra with all the other mods they were doing for us )
spot lights on the bull bar ( jeez they are bright )
Kumho 215/75r15 tyres
underbody / engine bay rust protection
black vue dash cams front and back
the smoked black bonnet protector thing

Also picked up a few of the essential little bits like the arm rest that plugs into the drink holders, the extra usb ports and 12v connections that plug into the 12v outlet and fits in with the style.

really enjoyed the ride, coming from the Navara the ride quality was fine, really quite refined, it does lack the power in the midrange and on inclines for sure but that was to be expected, and not really pushing it for the first few hundred kms, seemed quite happy going 100kph unless previously mentioned inclines showed up and pretty comfortable even for a tall fella at 6-3ish .

Was a little disappointed the android auto didnt show your speed like your android phone does when navigating unless Im doing something wrong there didnt see an option to bring that up.

Missus really happy and shes generally a slower driver anyway so the power isnt a bother to her at all. Already know its prefectly capable offroad, we will mostly be using on fairly easy tracks and beach driving when go offroad so dont think there will be a problem.

The Kumhos seem pretty decent on road fairly quiet and handled well. Will have some fun thius weekend and maybe get it on the beach for a little cruise before we go away for a decent trip down to Brisbane the following weekend to see some mates.

now I guess I need to learn all the "laws"

Very nice, right colour as well.

Enjoy
