Jimny from Costa Rica was created by charlanga
Hi guys!!

I've been following this site long time ago, but until now I decided to join the forum.
I'm from Costa Rica, right now my Jimny is kind of stock, Maxxis MT's 215/75 R15 wheels, CB radio.
I've taken my Jimny everywhere, once I got home I'll post some pictures.

Attached is one picture taken 1 year ago in a 4x4CostaRica.com meeting, it was stock by then

It has no roof rails, year 2009, it's the JX version, the JLX version is the one that has roof rails (at least here in CR).
Right now because of the wheels upgrade I had to cut the front plastic bumper with a "Metabo" so wheels won't get stuck with the bumper once the car turns or articulate.
Also, now the car has a roof rack but it's like a roll cage. I'll post some pictures later B)

Hi, here's an update about my car. Few weeks ago mounted a 8000lbs X2O Smittybilt winch, 2 Lightforce 140 Lance, also a TJM awning and a TJM snorkel is on the way, I believe this week I'll have in my hands ( :woohoo: :woohoo: )

The attached picture was taken 2 weeks ago in the border between Costa Rica and Nicaragua, a really fun tour, lots and lots of mud.




Greetings from Costa Rica!!

Hi nicho, sorry, I don't have any pictures yet with the awning out, but here's one of a friend, it's the same one (not the roof tent, just the awning ;) )

- 2" body lift
- 26" rear shocks
- 23" front shocks
- larger brake lines
- Custom front and rear bumper
- New panhard rod
- New axles base

And some other things that I can't remember right now. More details and picture in a few days B)
