Hello Everyone, apologies I'm new here and know 2/10 diddly all about the Jimny, I test tyres for a living and need to try out some mud terrain tyres and build a suitable test area and the Jimny seemed a sensible training and testing mule so i bought one!

mine is a 2006 someone obviously had plans for it as it appears to have lifted suspension a snorkel, a breather and winch plus some Mud terrain tyres and a CB radio, and what looks to be some manual front hubs like my old vitara had, apart from some welding i know nothing about it so standby for a number of stupid newbie questions!

Thanks everyone

I dont suppose there is a list of things to start with that a a good idea when buying and modding a Jimny, thinkgs like fitting axle breathers and snorkel etc

and also a list of things to do when you buy a used one, eg change diff oil, change cam belt etc as i dont want to ruin it through being naive

Kindest Regards

ray
