How not to treat your gen 4

My wife's second car was a brand new SJ413 1986 D reg, we took it to the Rhino Rally and I rolled it when it was about a year old...
Anyone remember the Rhino Rally? 300+ Suzuki's off road, we went to Arena Essex, Long Valley and marshalled at Trentham gardens.

l don't think the Jimny was designed for that kind of terrain, but if the guy has enough money to throw at a brand new one, and then treat it like that, l guess it's up to him.

People's pockets have varying depths, what's a bit of spare cash for one will be a serious investment for another.
So why not if you can afford it, but as Lightening said it's still the wrong play thing for that sort of terrain in my opinion You are getting towards acustom made rock crawler or Dave's buggy.
You need a roll cage for a starter, it's amazing how quickly things can turn upside down once you start to push the envelope, more so if you have jacked It the air as this chap has.

 

The guy has obviously spent a great deal of money on his Gen.4 and illogically believes that as well as making the car better it would improve his driving ability.
It didn't.

Yes I remember the Rhino rallies. I went to Long Valley and Trentham gardens but not Arena Essex but I also went to Holland on a couple of occasions. I was always amazed at the huge number of entrants and spectators and the events were always well organised.

I was in the Rhino magazine once, will Try to find and post it.
But the Jimny is a car and built for using it, not Just to make your parking lot look better. This guy does not drive it like he stole it either. Should have used Steel wheels.

For that kind of stuff his tyre pressures look way too high.

A Jimny is quite capable of handling that kind of terrain. The driver isn't though and as Groenewald says, his tyre pressures are way too high.

Yes I remember the Rhino rallys, it was Rosie Rhino. I used to go to their event at the  off road centre at Tong, they were well organised and very inclusive for all the family. I have still a few of their club magazines .
 

Who builds a 4x4 like that and doesn't fit a diff lock?
