Dear Off Roader,
Now the wait is over and the Jimny is here. Jeep Vs Gypsy brothers have grown to become uncles and now the next generation Thar brother was left alone and wanting a younger sibling to carry on his Dad Vs uncle(s) weekend battles.
Maruti - thank you whole heartedly for taking a stand and finally bringing in the Jimny (4 door nonetheless) to take on its elder brother head long.
Dear Anand Mahindra Ji - Lets the games begin.
Cut to the chase. You are a new Jimny owner (Or a wannabe Jimny owner). I will skip the part about what a Jimny is or was or what is the Jeep Vs Gypsy Debate, read old threads about it here on TBhp over the last 15 years.
My Offroad journey began in
2009 (Sarjapur Road-Bidaraguppe OTR on 30th August 2009). Yours will begin soon if you are new to offroad. Congratulations.
The intent of the thread is to discuss your wish-list, generate interest, share knowledge and discuss what your Jimny can be in future.
Suspension - lift kits, track bars, alignment issues, spacer blocks, etc?
Offroad tyres/wheels - how much big can the Jimny 1.5 take?
Performance - Engine power, tuning, headers & exhaust, CAI, chip...
Lighting - Dual battery, LED lights (strictly for offroad use Warning, please!)
Tcase - Crawl gears?
Armour - Bash plates, rock sliders? roll cage?
Better Angles - Stubby bumpers for better approach/departure, 8mm skid for underbody?
Camping - Awning, tents, how to use the short boot for overlanding trips, roof rack, etc
Recovery - winch, ropes, chassis points, etc
My wishlist
2" Lift, 1 upsize wheel and tyres, bumpers front/rear, 8" Alu skid plate for the LWB version to begin with from Day-1 of ownership.
Attaching some random pics from net with their sources mentioned.
