If anyone could get him for the $8500 though, he would be an extremely good buy, considering all the work that's been done...

... kinda hoping someone on here would buy him... and save him :cry:

What I don't get is why run 30's when he's running a Rockhopper 3 :? Then again, the goose may have taken those out :roll:

Brenno, flick him a bunch of questions re is it still "original"... transfer case, rockhopper 3 gears, 3" bodylift etc etc

Thanks Fool_injected... mate, it breaks my heart :cry: I'd like to see him back in the club... like I said, for $8500 you get all the hard work done. He's probably the only Jimny running a Sierra case that is 100% workable and problem free... there's about $3000 worth of reconditioned case, gears and imported mounts in there alone (the only true bolt-in-bolt-out Sierra case kit in the country)... plus snorkel, dual batteries, Lightforce spotties, 4" adjustable Ranchos, Winch bar, extractors, sports exhaust, custom removable storage system (plus seats will still bolt straight back in if needed) ...etc etc etc...
You are looking at around $12000 worth of work... all you'd need is some decent rubber... Stimpy is fully engineered BUMPER TO BUMPER including running 32's...

C'mon Suzuki lovers.... SAVE THE POOR LITTLE BLOKE :cry: :cry: :cry:

I (regretably) sold Stimpy about 12 months ago to fund the X-90 project... :cry: and I'd just like to see him go to a good home again...

I just sent him a question.


Grrr. What annoys me is that he obviously has NFI what he's got there.

"Oh it's economical and it goes anywhere on its brand new 'Nevaheardofthebrand' 30in ATs."

Fuck, some stupid bird on her P plates is probably going to buy it. Can we do a whip around or something???

You know Squiko... we *could* do an insurance jobbie on the X-90 and get Stimp back with the proceeds... and have some cashola left over for a 1.6 EFI conversion for him!

I'd just be happy to see him go to a home that will appreciate what he is... fer christs sake... this Jimny set the benchmark in this country :bad-words:

This would be like one of Brockies cars ending up as a single mum or eight's shopping trolley :bad-words:

Wasn't there a clause in the sale contract which entitle you to reposess the car if the guy was a twit?

Just around, grab the keys and tell him he does not deseve it.

Yay! I have owned Stimpy since new and he's always been serviced and cared for (this dude should have the full service and log books as they went with the car).
The only dint on him was the rear top near the back door... you can see it on my first pic.
Comes with fire extinguisher etc... and as said before, rear seats plus a drawer/cargo system in the back. Looks like he has gained a towbar as well.

He had the pull premium care option of fabric protection, rust and paint protection when I bought him...

Happy to answer any questions... just PM me if needed.

He'll be much happier with a Jimny :D

Stimpy is a JLX - electric windows and mirrors... air conditioning... alarm system, and because he's the non-airbag model (Series 1), you can run a line from your air cond to the top/second glovebox and turn it into a cooler box :armsup: (never got around to it but heaps of others have done it :D

Ummm... not sure... :?

C'mon peeeeople... save Stimpy from ending up parted out or screwed up. He's like that poor dog that is so intelligent he's irritating... in the right hands he's brilliant :armsup:

Jeeezzzz.... all the hard work is already done, even breathers all round. All he lacks is lockers and a winch... that is it!

This Jimny won the last Zukana for christs sake :armsup:

Yeah that is what I have been trying to bloody tell him!
Since it will be his daily, might as well get a bit more comfort.
He is gonna go check it out on Satty I think. :D
