Jimny in the snow (with pictures)

Had my wee big jimny out for a play today and got some snaps

Stopped 40 yards shorts of the top, made it up after a few attempts though to a farmers surprise


Opens the door to see this


Further down the hill where a plough had managed to clear


The parts before the plough couldn't get too as he done this........


The wee jimny done very well for only having Bridgestone road fronts and Yokohama geolandar AT's on the rear

I was the first person up the hill to greet the grittier/plough. He didn't look too chuffed

good work, thats a lot of snow.

That gritter pic is brilliant, it certainly made me chuckle!

Well done on getting through all that, that's pretty epic (not used that word for ages) work

that is great going

i was stuck in less than that last night

Great pics, where were they taken, cos you got loads more snow than sheffield!!!!

That should quiaten down the dowtters of the Jimny lol fantastic going buddy

This was in fife scotland on a road over a hill form a village called Falkland to Leslie. The snow had been drifting all night out the fields onto the road as you can see.

The hill I came up 40 yards shirt on the first attempt took another 10-12 attempts (creating a wee bobsleigh attack track each time) to get to the top, to be faced with another hill with some good 4ft high drifts, so I kept her planted in 2nd gear in lo box and she pulled herself through. Couldn't stop to take pictures for fear of getting bogged down and stuck.

I had the same thing a couple of winters ago, the thing that was stopping the Grand Vitara I had was the depth of the snow and the front snowploughing until it built up that much in front it stopped the car, did the same as you reversed back and ran at it again and again, got through eventually, don't think I'd be that brave with the Jimny cos it's only a couple of months old, but am amazed at how good it is in the snow even though it's bog standard, I was thinking of getting some AT's for next year but have read on here that the new ones have a different lower front bumper and have rubbing issues with larger tyres, will have to look at it a bit when the time comes!!!!

Good effort! I'm particularly impressed given your Jimny looks pretty much standard. I'm also jealous - I'm just the other side of the Forth Road Bridge and the pathetic sprinkling of snow we've got has all but disappeared

Mine yesterday. Good fun.

that is deep snow really impressive on standard tyres
