Sounds like fun.
If your cash is tight and it's mainly off-road then a Mud tyre would be my way to go. Don't have them on my Jimny as it's more on-road, but my series Land Rover runs MT tyres and it's unstoppable, even in snow. I went for the cheapest I could lay my hands on so I had no concerns about damage to expensive tyres, they have proven to be an excellent purchase.
Tyres are the biggest performance increase for the money, lifts etc are not required if you pick your route carefully.

Didn't fancy being exposed to a welsh hilltop winter on a quad bike, but need to get around site to manage it. Bought a standard 2004 Jimny with all season tyres, but want to set it up for grass and mud and bouncy stuff with a bit of towing. Would welcome your recommemdations for the best tweeks for this. ie. good mud tyres on seperate wheels What makes, size , lifts?,suspension etc.. Please bare in mind we are now very poor (oops!) so budget is now tight.
Thanks
Won't be so good on road, but should be acceptable. But a good set of narrow "Diamonds" will be about the best thing you can get on grass and remain road legal.

Hello and welcome
From what I've seen and read on the forum Insa Dakar or Insa Special track tyres are dirt cheap 4x4 remoulds that are suited to off road use. I agree with Lambert that a standard jimny in good mechanical order will get you anywhere.
Get yourself some Insa tyres (mentioned above) and if you're towing get some uprated standard ride height dampers (trailmaster or bistein B6)
