My ride. was created by Gromit
Ok so I better introduce myself seeing as I have signed up for the BigJimny meet at Tong.

I"ve had all sorts of 4x4's (Landy, Shogun, Samurai,Vitara) but I love the Jimny. It's only modified a bit, 3" lift, CC bushes, ext brake lines, arch extensions and Maxxis Buckshot tyres.

I mainly do green laning and used to be the GLASS Yorkshire Dales rep. Looking forward to trying the Jimny round Tong.

Hi Bud,

Welcome to the forum, your motor is looking great B). I've noticed your from Castleford and are a greenlaning guru :) . Do you know of any greenlanes somewhere between Castleford and Middlesbrough (i.e. the North York Moors)? I've wanted to take mine greenlaning however dont know where any are. If you fancy a play sometime, give me a shout, I'd love to have mine on the greenlanes.

Adam

Looks nice - I like red Jimny's and the black modulars look cool - what size tyres are they?

Have to admit the red and black looks well cool Gromit!

When I was looking for a Jimny I checked out a red one - but the paint had faded to dull pink and you could push your fingers through the remains of the tool tray in the boot :unsure:

Mick, mine was pinky but some T-cut colourback worked wonders, and yes they do rust bad in the tool tray well.

Adamski, wheel wobble is a bit bad which is why I"ve just ordered a steering damper. By the way tyre size is 235/75 not 265, sorry :whistle: :whistle:

Yeah ive got really bad wheel wobble between 30mph - 40mph so would be very interested to hear whether the damper makes a difference. Would you let me know and I might invest in one?

Did the 235/75 tyres require any arch cutting? and would they fit on 15x7 wheels?
