Hello from a fellow Jimny nut lol!!

Hi! My name's Jacqui and I'm the proud owner of a 56 plate Jimny (Tonka 2).

He's my second Jimny and I've had other cars (including 2 Vitaras) and I can't see myself owning anything else now to be honest.

I've not been bitten by the serious off road bug (yet) so he's a road car and I've started to spend a bit of money on him after owning him for two years! I'm interested in getting the Suzuki side steps for him and was wondering if they are a straightforward bolt on fit or is there any drilling involved. Bearing in mind I'm female (but NOT a girly girl) and I'm not a mechanic I don't mind paying to get them fitted properly.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

If this works - here's a pic of Tonka.

Nice jimny. Welcome

You have not had much snow

We had some this morning, all gone now

I've got some Suzuki side steps for sale if your interested, I'm based in Middlesbrough and could fit then for you if you are any where near me.

Thank you for the offer! I'm in Derby though, so it's quite a trip - thanks anyway

Hi and welcome, a nice looking Jimny you have there

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome

I really dropped on when I bought this one. I've had him 2 years and he only had 6000 miles on the clock. He's only done just over 11000 now as he's been a second car. I got divorced recently and so I'm using him a lot more now and I'm going to spend a bit of money on him. He's in mint condition and I'm very proud of him!

Any advice on the steps would be greatly appreciated!

To me, he looks very masculine Plus, I've always preferred male company & we have a lot of fun together, I feel safe in him - he's like a pal - so he has to be male lol!

I know……I'm weird lol!!

A jimny's been called many things over the years. But masculine... ??!!

Perhaps if you fitted some 31 inch tyres you'd be getting somewhere towards masculine
