First Jimny Build

Bought myself a 2007 Jimny the other day and am already getting ready to start the build. The guy I bought it from stuck some massive 235/75/15 AT’s on so first thing is those need to be downsized. Thought I would keep this thread updated with pictures and info every time I do something, let’s see how it goes.

I was just about to reply on your other thread to say start a thread on here but thought I'd check to see if you had and here you are!

It looks great but yes, 215/75/15's will be much more appropriate!

I know that you were looking at changing your wheels but they really are nice standard alloys. Perhaps you could just get them powder coated in another colour to make them different? Then you will agonise over colour instead of offset! ?

Welcome along and keep updating this with loads of photos! We love photos!

Right so I’ve just drove home from work and decided to detour and go on some country farmers roads went in a really rough patch of mud using the 4WD function, after that the cars started squeaking at every little movement, I think I’ve narrowed it down to the suspension. Any ideas?

—UPDATE—

Solved it, I managed to figure out it was coming from the passenger side front so I just sprayed the hose towards the springs and some bushes and now the squeaking stopped, guess it was just some grit that was rubbing.

It is great to find the solution, both on here for later / next time, and in real life

Good luck with the car!

I was thinking of that orange colour too!

Black is no good for wheels! They won't be seen in photos!

These are vehicles for using predominantly in the countryside and as such, should reflect this...
