JerseyJimnys... Overlander Jimny

The 80 series is to big for Jerseys roads really.... The Colorado is not much wider then the Jimny so its the best choice For Jersey

Also there is a fair few of them on the island!

i've heard the Amazon is the one to have. no idea why tho, a toyota technician told me that lol

The amazon is another name for the 80 series i think its a model with-in the range

My mate has one... a F*ucking awesome piece of kit goes anywhere and makes it look easy. Your so comfortable while doing it too!

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configuration

i nearly went to look at a SWB one of these. but the seller reckoned it had independent front suspension, which put me right off tbh

The Baby ones (3.0L TDs) have independent suspension yes... However this dose not seam to hamper the off road capability much...

It would suffer under heavy off road of course but that is where the rear locker comes in handy

The daddy ones (4.5L upwards) has live axles back and front

So my plans are to make it a little more friendly on long trips and camping

Starting with A split charge system with a internal distribution board including a few constant live 12v sockets and constant live (with isolation switch) 230v outlet with the T-max battery monitor mounted to it

While i am playing around in the cabin i will tidy it all up by removing the clutter from the dash... By buying a new CB and mounting it in the DIN slot under the Radio

I have also ordered a inside/outside temp monitor and amber flashing lights as i am planning on using the Jimny for a Voluntary 4x4 Recovery service similar to 4x4 Response UK

Then looking at some Goodridge BFGs and some spacers and maybe topped off with a steering damper to make the Jim alot more stable on the road.

Any suggestions would be handy guys!
