Hey,

Just purchased this yesterday for the winter and to use off road.

Does anybody know the previous owner? I would love to find out the full spec of what has been done.

Looks like someone put some effort into it, nice car.... I've at least doubled the purchase price of mine, swapping this and that, no way it would sell for what it stands me..... tell us what you paid: :dry:

I paid £3300 for it, Not too sure if thats too much or very cheap for a Jimny as prices are all over the place.

Also got Raptor roof rack and rock sliders which were provided in sale that are brand new. Need to see the situation with garage and if it will fit with roof rack, if not I will be selling it

You remove the standard roof bars to fit the raptor roof rack
rock sliders will be ok if the truck has not had a body lift fitted
If it has body lift the sliders will look silly IMO
Also it sounds like previous owner had more money than sense buying parts from RAPTOR 4x4 :pinch:

You can spend an awful lot modifying these things, if your car has been done as well as the appearance suggests, that might be a deal......

Enjoy it, they're a lot of fun and very capable with your level of modification. If you've never been off road before, your in for a treat.

It looks the business. I think Kiethy might have an idea where it came from, as those look really like some of his wheel arches.

Im going to say its on a 4" lift and 235 tyres. Those wheels are from a Dihatsu Sportrak and suit it well.
