Don's Jimny

When I drive mine I compare it to a 20 year old car feel, its slow, bumpy, no mod-cons ( except electric windows... tho I'd kill for air con lol ) but it does what its meant to do....well!
The bad snow this year I drove a hell of a distance down untreated single track roads in as much as 2-3 foot drifts...... it got stuck once or twice but soon regained traction to escape - It was going places all the q5's and q7's and x5's etc couldnt..... with road tyres and no lift so it's more than capable in my eyes and if she carries on like this I will be looking at another zuki when I need more space - Hopefully there all so good

Yeah im looking forward to the snow just to see what it can do, thats if i keep it that long... we'll see how it goes with running costs, etc.

Does anyone know how much the MPG is affected by having the front hubs locked? i.e. the vacuum system not working?

Mine does about 200 miles on a full tank ... mind you, that is also with 2" suspension, 2" body lift & 215x80 rubber ...

Mines about 240 miles on a full tank in 2wd without the hubs locked..... on mixture of length trips ( and I barely ever go over 50-55mph )

Similar mods to mine, are your fronts locked or not?

Locked.
Cannot get over 50 mph unless in 3rd gear and ringing its neck !

Off road, I can do about £150 miles before she is almost dry though .. that running 4x4 all the time
