Hello all, after being suzuki-less for nearly 2 years I am back... Well nearly
I've been crashing about in my Landrover ever since, and that has over stayed its welcome.
So I think I've done my sj routes, and now I'm thinking a jimny....
I shall let you know on progress!

I'm not normally a fan of Jimnys; they're too cute but after seeing the Chimpny I've started to change my mind. A few off road mods very quickly transforms them into a decent looking machine.

I've been looking at black hard tops...
I think with a 2" on it, with black rims and some half decent MUDs it could be a winner!
Any points to look out for? Rot etc?
And Scott, you know my love affair with my landy, it's been a fantastic truck that I've been doing 1100 miles a week in all summer towing 3500kg! That takes some doing in a 27 year old landy

i think this looks really mean, totally transformed it from looking all cute and innocent to being big and aggresive lol..

Yes something like that, but i dont do buying modified trucks.... buy one standard, do the work you want to do, and have piece of mind that is done right
I think for what i can get for the landy, i should be able to pick up at half decent specked Jimny.
And for those of you who dont know me / remember me this was my old truck...
On the right, (if anyone on here owns the one on the left i have stacks of pictures of it, my best mate owned it for a few years)
Which turned into this....
Which i sold for this....
Which turned into this (as it is today)
As you can probably gather the plan for a standard sized set of muds for the Jimny will last all of about 20 mins!

Welcome back mate, only rot I've seen is in the well in the back but that's a soft top so could be water getting in the roof
