Taking off the anti-roll bar should be the first mod to any Jimny.
When standard my Jimny would lift a wheel and lose traction climbing a hill on a lane near me with a bit of an axle twister half way up it. I could only get up the hill by keeping my speed up. I took the anti-roll bar off and tried the hill again - the little bit of extra flex was all I needed to crawl up the hill slowly. Much better and safer. Plus it's a free mod!

I wont be doing all that much offroading. nothing spectacular.
Very muddy droves at the most. Would taking the antiroll bars out make a significant difference ? or should i keep them on - seeing as i'm a new driver.
Thanks, LB.

Keep it on if your unsure of your ability as a new driver.
In an emergency if you panicked and took too much steering input you may end up over correcting and getting into all sorts of messyness!
