People only overlook by it's size, until they find one outperform the biggest and the most powerful 4x4s. I live in the Himalayas and own both an Isuzu Vcross as well as a Jimny. The jimny has taken me through places where even my Isuzu won't. Here we have the 5 door jimny.
Incredible footage Nick, loving your content mate! I'd love to see you at a Jimny meet some time but I'm down in NSW. Keep the videos coming mate, really appreciate the effort you're putting in and sharing with us
Amazing content! 😊 I am from Spain but I moved to Queensland a year ago and got a Jimny too! I love camping, photography and exploring the countryside, so I am actually making a build very similar to yours and enjoying the lil ride a lot. Even in stock form you can go to some pretty crazy places. I already have some underbody protection installed and I am looking at a new suspension these days. Your video lifting the car was super illustrative, although there is no way I can modify mine on my own, so I will be taking it somewhere 😢
Wow a big thank you for sharing this video with me. Looks amazing out there on the trails . A big improvement to how it handles and attraction is well. So looking forward to seeing some more Jimny 4 w d videos now that you have got it off road capable
I wish we could get Jimny’s here in the USA. Mods like lockers, lifts, & skid plates are so much cheaper than Jeeps. And with the simplicity of he components much cheaper to maintain and fix on the trails.
I’ve just looked on the Ironman website and their suspension kit pricing seems good value. Good to know that it actually works quite well. You seem like every other Jimny owner - a smile on their face whenever they drive their cars! They certainly appear to be a fun car to own Cheers
Good Ol Jimny, we looked at these in 2019 as I think we found a few mid 20's just for a for push around with our Adventra's on the trails but never eventuated but love seeing them around.
I'm new to your channel, but this is a great video so I have subscribed. The climb up to place those cameras on the hill climbs must get the heart beating a bit. Thanks for going to the effort!
Hi Nick, good to see you putting the Jimny through what it was designed for. If you’re ever down in NSW sing out, I’ll show you round a few tracks within a day trip of Sydney, you should take a few mates or the family out for a day trip with both 4WD’s. Also it’s nice to watch 4WDing without the extreme element for a change, much more acceptable to what main stream 4wders would be comfortable doing. Keep up the good work!😊
Nice video. Didn't look like there's much clearance between your diff and that dirt track. I went and took a Jimny for a test drive yesterday from the local dealer. Smaller in the car then what I thought. And a 6 month wait. New 5 door comes out in 2 weeks time with the same motor. Just a little bit of tweaking to get a little bit more torque. Then the issue happened. Yesterday. We went to the four-wheel drive adventure show. Some good specials on heaps of cars. A. Mitsubishi 4x4 Triton is only $8,000 more than a jimney. Soo now have confused my self more. What would you recommend with the bigger cars? Manual or auto cheers
If your going for a bigger 4wd wagon then automatic is definately the way to go. It all comes back to personal preference and what your looking for. If your looking for a 4wd to take the family in then definitely don't buy a Jimny. But if your looking for a fun little 4wd that's good on fuel for yourself and maybe a partner then the jimny could be a good option.
@@LowRangeNick thanks for that I liked the Jimny, wife was it's too small. She drive a Kluger all wheel drive. I told her it's chalk and cheese. Even this week when we test drive the Triton it's no Kluger I told her. As your a mechanic and 4wd guru, any issues with the Triton that you know of. I love the ranger and Navara but out of my price range. So thinking mid range specks then a few after market toys. I always get sucked in at the dealership spending $$$$ on extras.
@tugboat8475 The triton is a solid unit with a great warranty period. They are one of the cheapest 4wds without going to a Chinese manufacturer and they have been around with the same platform for years. This means it's reliable and works well. They have there minor issues but it has a great warranty to back it.
Is that still with the stock low range gearing? Coming from my old 98 Hilux, the stock Jimny low range seems too high! but i guess they did that so the traction control would work as it needs a bit of wheel spin difference to work its magic.
Still running standard gearing, yep! The gearing in the Jb74 is a lot better then the older models as they actually run 1" bigger tyres standard. So, running 235's still keeps the gearing acceptable for off-roading. I remember when I fitted 235's to my older model jimny the gearing was horrible. I would always stall out trying to crawl up obstacles. But gearing is still good with the 235s on my JB74.
Nice video mate! Does anyone know how the auto Jimny go on highways? I'm considering one, but not sure I could deal with it if it sits at 4000 rpm on a highway
Hi Nick , how do you find that scan tool you use on the MUX ? I have a Kingcrome one . I wonder if the 500 buck one is better? Thanks mate if you see this.
Hey Andy! It is really good for reading out faults in multiple different modules. The difference will be the kinchrome will only be able to read out faults in the engine computer where as the cgsulit can read out codes in engine, abs, airbag modules etc. And it can also perform service resets and adaption reset and injector coding on some models.

It's definitely a little weapon now. Soo much Fun to 4wd in 🙂
Really cool little rigs, looking forward to more build videos
I like how the camera inside the vehicle is stabilized, gives a good impression of angles and movement

The lift kits are well priced, that's one of the reasons that I chose the Iron man lift kit. They are a heap of fun off-road 😃

Great video mate, thoroughly enjoyed joyed it. Your content is spot on. It’s great seeing what the Jimny can do off road. Cheers.
Thank you very much 😊
Great video. Did the tyres rub at all?
The tyres don't rub at all 👍
I need super low range!!!💪🏻🚜🔝
Hi Nick
I was wondering if you have a video of how to change the shoes on your Isuzu MUX
brakes. if not, not to worry.
Thanks mate.
Sorry I don't. 😞

Bonjour,
Vous avez mis quoi en kit de suspension ? Quelle hauteur ?
Svp
Nice video mate! Does anyone know how the auto Jimny go on highways? I'm considering one, but not sure I could deal with it if it sits at 4000 rpm on a highway
Won't this snorkel have water getting into the air filters during monsoon drive or parked under heavy rains?
Mine is stock and can do and did same in high 4x4
Loved your video❤, is your Jimny lifted?
Yep, 2 inch lift kit and 235/75r15 tyres.
What about the steering damper, did you install it?
@@nitengg007007007 Just running the factory fitted steering dampener.
@@LowRangeNick so is it cause a problem between 80 to 120 kmph like death wobble
@@nitengg007007007 No wobble on mine? Haha usually that is caused by worn out Bushes or kingpin bearings.
Do you have any rubbing with only a 40mm lift?
No rubbing at all. The lift kit gave approx 50-60mm of lift.
235 or 215 which ones do you recommend for Manual transmission?
If you want to do more challenging 4wd tracks then 235s. If you plan on doing basic 4wd tracks and touring then 215s 🙂
You don't use you ac when 4x4ing
7 Months ago…Have you given up mate?
I think so, 9 months since last upload now
Install turbo or supercharger to it it will be a game changer video 📹 🙌
💯🫵🏼👍🏼🫡👊🏼✌🏼🇳🇱
Is that Japan made or India?
Steeper in low range yes but no a/c 4x4 not glamping come on
