Hello people

Im gareth im 21 and from plymouth

I am currently looking at getting a small engine 4x4 and looking at jimnys, as my other car (is200) is just to juicey for everyday use.

Im just woundering how capible jimny are offroad??

Also what are main areas/ faults to look out for on jimnys

Gaz

jimnys are very capable offroad a set of tires and it will be fine for a bit of everything.

lookout for a wheel wobble up to 50mph if it wobbles leave well alone as it could cost a fortune if nothing thats very good then just look around front cv's for leaks but simple fix then rust.

as for mpg they are not very good averaging around 25-26 std some times more depending on engine model but they are all better than the old sj's

The one im looking at has a 2" lift on trail master shocks and springs (Are these good??)

Also is on hankook dynapro MT tires.

Are the lift kit and tires any good??

I want one i can just buy and take off road with out doing much.

Also has diff gaurds and modified front and rear bumpers.

Is there problems with the front hubs as i read somewere about the front not working probally or something. Could be wrong thow as looked at so many cars latly.

Gaz

they are supposed to be the best kit available its most expensive!!!

tires will be fine .

front hubs can fail but only raley and very cheap to fix but im still on originals as are many others

i say go for it!!!

Well just found out it a mate of a mates and also my dad used to work with him.

My lexus is for sale so if that go think will get this for everyday and muddy weekend toy then buy a track toy ( prob a mx5 for that one day of sun we get a year lol)

go for it, I just bought one and love it! - yes, its top speed ( sensibly ) is 55mph but its a hell of a machine in the snow
