Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi All,

I was at Total 4wd last Friday, there was a Suzuki Jimny with what I think was an 8 inch (4 inch spring, 4 inch body) lift on 31's

Looked very tall,(Taller than me) some interesting little bits of customisation though, I liked the Painted on the diff pumpkin.

Anybody seen it??
Or does anybody here own it???

Jez 8"! How wide was it?

Not very wide, 10.5 MTrs on standard back spaced rims.

Didn't look like it had seen much offroad but certainly was a head turner.

Was it Black ????

Think I've seen it driving around Epping way

Ive seen a blue one in Newcastle, running approx29" tyres, with an ARB bar. Didnt look too bad.

It's 4 inch suspension plus 3 inch bodylift ( We supplied the kits)
The new version of the suspension on these includes johnie jointed rear ranchos.
Strangely Greg from GRP's girlfriend ( 4 inch lifted jimny) has also painted a smiley on her rear diff....must be something about jimny owners.

It was red, I think its from up the country, Wangaratta or something like that.

There is this red Jimny in marrickville here in sydney that looks the same in suspension lift. This one looks like it has after market trailing arms as well.

Are they just as good as their older brother, the siera?

The leaf spring or the coiler serria... be good so see similar moded, models zuks and drivers in a small comp just to see what has the better capabilities

the leaf vs the coiler vs the jimny

Its red lives in sheperton ive driven it .Its never been off road to my knowledge i can tell you exactly what it is all about but generaly to heigh geard steering geomatry up the shit looked good till i had to put lights on roof for him it does have 31s body lift and suspention fitted from total 4x4 i can find out actual sizes if you realy want to know

I saw a white Jimny down @ the 4WD Jamborree at Duneedoo which was lifted. It looked real tuff but it didn't do very well on the all-terrain challenge.
Dont know if it had lockers or not

I dunno - I'd be absolutely terrified it would roll over with over 10 inches of total lift (including tyres) and bugger all extra width (you said standard rims).

Hope they're buying some big-a$$ offset wheels for it soon.

Watched a highroof holden drover with lift and 31"s and no extra offset a while back. The driver was really good - but it was bl00dy terrifying to watch.

This one???

yeah that would be the one

Thats not so bad, my old zook was an 85 NT with spoa, 2 1/2 inch suspension lift and 33's. I know it was top heavy, but it never actually went completely over.

That Jimny pictured ( is peter) and wasn't the one that stuffed up, it was his team mate (jason) who was in front of him and had the trouble. The other Jimny that you refer to is rockhoppered and diff locked btw.

Bout time he put lokkas in it i remember wen we dunn that watagans trip with yas wen i had A1zook and Peter H was only just talkin bout gettin the hopper didnt he get that set and another from the states at the right price
