Jimny tools

Hi there, i'm new to this site and to my suzuki jimny having just bought it 2 months ago. I've already noticed my Jimny is small, thirsty and uncomfortable with rubbish road manners, but despite all this I can't explain but along with my son we absolutely love it! So much so infact my son is also looking for one now.

We are really excited about modding out our Jimny albeit on a small scale to begin with. Can anybody give me any ideas on the best tools to equip myself with to get started, Ive bought already myself a decent torque wrench, socket set and pair of ramps and looking for decent trolley jack and pair axle stands.

I fancy waxoyling and servicing the cars first followed by maybe 2 -3'' lift and bigger tyres. Thanks.

halfords have a 4x4 highlift quicklift jack less than half price at the min, £35, was £80. I got one... its from the advanced range so decent....



welcome along, i bought mine about 2 month ago, look at my thread in my jimny.... ive been busy

Hi there,

I got into mechanics a while back, just buy the tools you need, when you need them...... my workshop/garage is imense now but it all takes time.
Best tip I can give is dont buy cheap crap tools....and get some bars, grinders and blow torches

Edit:---
Heres what 10-15 years of tools looks like......

Good luck!

best bit of kit i bought was the halfords pro 150 piece socket set.... SO usefull!

cheers gaz, being a bit of a rookie i assumed i would have to be looking at over 100 quid and get decent one 2nd hand. Do you think it will cut it at such a cheap price?
