What are you going to use it for. No major fauls, just check the usual. They do tend to rust in the 'tool store' on the boot and close to the rear seat belt mountings under the seats. Also the transfer box can get noisey and isn't cheap to fix. Its the hy-vo type chain which wears at anything between 20 000 and 80 000 miles? The tell tale noise is a clicking sound as it tries to jump the sprockets.

www.jimny.se is a useful site for info and tech help. If your going to off road a good start is 2" lift, 215/15 mud terraines amd a bit of trimming on  the plastic. Withmthat your almost unstoppable. and will show up a lot of bigger trucks.

contact derrick at lrsoffroad.co.uk for a lift kit. As for water, a DIY B+Q snorkel is easy to sort, as is a breather kit for your diffs etc. Manual hubs are worth considering too as the vaccuum hubs can suck water in if your not careful; again talk to Derrick at lrs - he just got me a set for £164.95.
