hay guys im thinking of getting a Jimny. what do i need to look out for problem wise.. Also where is the best places to get mod's eg: bumpers, surspension, etc

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.

Offroading and to offroading lol.... hmm chain bit sounds fun

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.

Cheers dude do u no any good sites to get lift kits from etc? also lot of water down here so any help with that would b grate

[glaggs]

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.
