Picked up my new Jimny a week ago. I had a few bits ordered for it so fitted them more or less straight away. These include grill and Suzuki badge, clear LED indicators, bonnet protector and lots of bits for the interior (armrest, cup holders, extra storage etc).
I had the dealer fit alloys and BFG tyres, tinted rear windows, wind deflectors, spoiler and mud flaps. Its such a cool looking car and people love it when they see it!
I'm going to fit a 40 or 50mm lift kit to it. Trying to decide between the old man emu 40mm kit or trailmaster 50mm sport kit. Any experience with either for everyday driving?

I’ve got my SZ5 Jimny running a 50mm trialmaster lift. Seems to ride over bumpers better but the car does have more lean to it when cornering. I’ve just got a new lcv and fitted the 2inch pedders lift and it’s seems to be better than the trialmaster lift as it doesn’t lean and is firmer but not crashy so handles the bumps much better.

You wouldn't by any chance be selling the steel wheels/tyres you took off your new LCV?

No, I left them with the dealer and got a discount on the alloys/tyres.

Is that the comfort trailmaster kit? I'd be going for the sport as I definitely do not want it softer than stock.

Why are you lifting it? Are you off roading it? If not, don't. Just upgrade the shocks/springs.

Looks pretty good now. Those wheels will look a bit lost in the arches with a lift kit.

I always think that colour needs Camel Trophy decals.

Not planning on doing serious offroading, more for visual purposes only. I think the OME 40mm lift kit is small enough that the wheels won't look lost, but big enough to make it look better.
I had a Gen 3 previously with 3" lift and 235/75 15 tyres. It looked great.
Are you not planning to lift yours?

My two both have 2inch lifts running 215/75/R15 mud terrains and the wheels don’t look lost in the Arches.
