    Hi Kim ,I have the 2014 jimny and it’s a mountain goat. To all jimny owners, if you don’t carry passengers then do this. Remove the back seats and build a floor, remove the jack and put it under the drivers seat. The jimny now has plenty of room. I can carry everything from car fridge to all camping gear and water for over a week. That’s all in the back and nothing on the roof. I have a 2” lift and standard types and they work just fine out bush. I live in Western Australia, a hot and dusty place most of the year out back and beyond. It’s jimny country. Nice review Kim. Regards Robert.😎🇦🇺🦘

    I traded in my 1985 Landcruiser for a NEW 2015 Jimny.
    I'm glad to report the Jimny seat belt tab tapping against the pillar and window rattle on the passenger side just makes me feel at home like the sound of air entering around the door seal when traveling at highway speeds. Its the same authentic experience but without the rust.

    my first car was a 2015 jimny. even stock it performed really good in offroad, and it also behaved well as a citycar thanks to its compact dimensions. you definitely feel the lack of a 6th gear when going on a highway, and inside it's pretty cramped. despite this i still love that car and its personality, i had lots of fun with it

      Sorry, I have no idea regarding the cylinder head.
      The Jimny, though, came with two types of engine: the G13 and M13 engines. A similar engine was used in other cars, so a swap might be possible. Another popular swap is the 1.6 Vitara engine swap. That engine is almost a direct swap.
      Headroom is pretty good in this one, and the chair moves backwards quite a lot. I think you will be able to fit, being 185 cm tall.

    My 1999 Jimny G13BB engine, is really poor on the highway. It sits on 90km per hour ok but at 100kms the engine is revving over 3500rpm. Great off roader, but as a highway car its terrible and hard wearing on the engine. Prone to blowing head gaskets. I think the cooling system is under engineered which makes the alloy head and block combination vulnerable for warpage and blowing head gaskets.

    • @Gusto0172
      @Gusto0172 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I understand your point but I believe that they are designed to rev high, like most other suzuki 4wds, perhaps because of suzukis motor bike ancestry. I've done a few long distance trips in Australia outback, 2,000 to 3,000 km & have had no issues.

      Toy dont need to change the gearbox, how ever checking the graering in the axles or transferase is a good idea 30" is just about what you can have on stock gearing.
      In low range its okey, but its slow for regular driving.
      Depends a lot on your style of wheeling. Crawling in stock gearing is tricky..
      But start somewhere and see it as long term goal for upgrades
      Either get a stone crawler transferase och change the gearing in the axle..

    you said everything that is relevant to a ZOOK. "IT;S A JIMNY I DONT CARE" . TOUGH, rugged, simple, honest. genuine Japanese product.,,, if all cars on the roads were Zooks. lots less people would be dying on our road. Unless you never owned one DO NOT CRITSIZE the little mountain goat. ALL GOOD THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES.

    My philosophy is that if you want enhanced performance then buy another car which offers that. Going with modifications messes up everything and necessitates constant corrective actions like lower-geared transfer case, as mentioned, and other steering geometry and drivetrain corrections. It never runs properly as the manufacturer intended it, and becomes susceptible to serious breakdowns, poor stability, increased road and wind noise, bad aerodynamics and a host of other horrors. Purely not worth it.

    Great review, thanks for sharing. They are a very reliable & capable 4WD. I use my 2006 soft top Jimny a lot in outback Australia & in the mountains here. Going to fit a long range tank (70 litres). A change to a lower gear ratio in for the transfer case will be done when I eventually change the clutch.
