I know what you mean, ive had 7 different offroaders before the jimny ranging from suzuki sj 410 right up to a tray back defender and a V8 disco, but they have nothing on the way the little jimny performs, i wish id bought mine earlier and spend all that money on just the one !!!, power wise im still trying to work out a way to get my 4g63 in it after my 6 turns to dust :laugh:
2001 Red Tin Top,
4.5 inch ORA lift kit,
Pro Comp steering damper
Kap Winch Bumper,
White Weller offset Rims with 30" Insa Turbo Special Tracks,
CB Radio,
Stripped Interia
Roof Rack with 4 front Wipac,
Rear Wipac recovery Lights
.....Plenty more on its way !!!!

I just took the 7 off the road to sort out my 'dust' problems. It's quite shocking for a 10 year old car. When the inevitable day arrives, it'll be donated to a mk2 escort shell!

I think anything that has been neglected (or imports that aren't under-sealed) , and used all year round on Britain's roads has potential to be a pile of dust.
IMHO, you don't need a bigger engine for road use, what you need is a better Transfer Case when yyour in Low Range ...
I have a 6:1 and that takes me anywhere i need to go... If i was rich, single and didnt have a mad job that makes me work 15hrs a day and load of travel - I'd be considering a 8:1 Low box with Toyota Axles, and maybe a 1600cc lump or similar - heck i even seen a LR V8 in a Jimny - it was a beast! ... butr then it would be a Jimny?
