These are great videos Juan.
Are the Jimny's heavily modified to tackle tracks like these? I didn't realise they were so capable!

Thanks Dyl, i do think 80 % of the Jimny owners don't know what their Jimny's are really capable too, they get very far even with standard settings.
Naturally when you want to do some more heavy stuff then you have to make some modifications, but "they" also do to the Landrover's, Nissan's and Toy's and ....
The biggest problem for a Jimny is the "groundclearance" that is the space between the lowest point from your diffs and the ground.
So when there are very deep ruts we're getting stuck more easely.
That's why a lot of us put bigger tyres underneath the Jimny's, but also the LR's, Nissan's and toy's and others... will (have to) do it.
On my Jimny i have :
- 4.16 D&G Dropbox
- Centerforce Clutch
- Trailmaster Stage II "Sport" 2-inch Springs and Shocks
- ARB Rear-Locker
- BF Goodrich KM2 215-75-R15
and some other bits and peaces.
With these settings i'm very pleased and off-course... you can always make it better, stronger but it will cost you more and more money.
So it's your personal choise what you want to spend and go offroading on terrains or doing some Greenlaning for what you think your Jimny can handle and you still have lots of fun.

Some more (6) offroad video's from last weekend, this time we (my son and me and 2 other Jimny's from some friends) did participate a roadbook in the northern region of France.
Also with a passage on a little private offroad-terrain, there we had a lot of fun sliding around in the mud.

These video's were two weeks earlier, first offroadtrip for the guy in the orange Samurai, i was his co-pilot to guide him trough the first steps of offroading.
In the black jimny are some other friends that drive with us on regular base, but this was their first wading trough a river with some current.

A belated welcome mate! I've been catching up on the forum a bit today as I only get to skim read it most of the time.
This looks like a sensibly modified Jimny. It's nice to see that not everyone goes mad with big tyres etc and still have fun!
You're videos are good. It's nice to see a bit of the countryside abroad without having to go there!
