My Jimny soft top was created by Roland
Hi guys, I traded in my old Suzuki Carry van for this just before Christmas as the van needed too much work doing to it to get it through the next MOT. I'm fairly new to the 4x4 game apart from owning a swb Frontera quite a few years ago. As you can see I'm self employed so needed a rugged reliable vehicle and with winter coming I thought this would be ideal for my needs. It's a 2000 model in black and I wasn't sure if I liked it at first but after driving it around for a few days I fell in love with it. It's got a few little niggles but drives ok and once the better weather gets here I will be cleaning it up and doing a bit of servicing and modding to it.

Personally, not normally keen on the rag tops, but that one has a certain something...very eye-catching Roland...
and welcome :)

I really wanted a hard top version so I could fit roof bars to it but the van was near to MOT time and I needed a vehicle quickly and spotted this less than 4 miles from my home. Within an hour of test driving it it was mine :) .
I keep pondering about having a go at making a hard top for it this summer as I have done a bit of modding before on my MX5.

Very busy mate and I've found if you can turn your hand to a lot of things then you will always have work. Thank you for the welcome by the way :)

I have seen your hard top mate (and very good it looks too) but I want to be able to use my back seats so one like that won't do for me.
