senseless topic...I am just amazed

[karel_zhou]

you guys really know this stuff...i don't know much about cars but I am interested in them. I have a suzuki jimny which i bought 6 months ago but I am not using it, the mileage is just 3,000 KM. I was thinking of selling it because it's just stuck at home. FRT advised me not to because he said that I can do a lot of off roading with it.

I just have stock, do i have to change anything to be able to use it in really bad road conditions like what you guys are doing?

[odell]

PM me if you wanna seel it.hehehe..

sorry OT.

pero if i were you.. tago mo na lang tapos i offroad...

this satuerday sama ka!! :D

[karel_zhou]

pardon my ignorance, what's seel? and what's OT? he!He! i told new i was new here.

im with FRT, suzuki jimny has history all over it, more than 20 years na yan sa scene ng off roading, also ok pa yan sa city driving.

a stock, fresh of the casa, jimny tag along with in high peaks zambales unscathed,

also suzuki are primarily a motorcycle maker and maliit and margin of error sa bikes, and i think the lay principle sa cars nila.

for modification, suspension and tires are always first in the list. (minor suspension lift and AT tires siguro)

first of all, it depends on your priorities.

if you are not really using it... then sell it...

are you into offroading? if not then why the heck keep it? offroading isn't your typical hobby as it requires a lot of technical knowledge, time and money. the typical driver wouldn't be even needing 4wd most of the time here - let alone offroad modifications unless you really go out to a trail.

[karel_zhou]

off roading? not really, I am more into off roading by foot if you get what i mean. I don't want to sell it also because I feel it's not the right thing to do. Nature tripping is my thing but I never really thought of bringing a vehicle. Pardon moi but I think it doesn't help the environment but hey! I am open to anything, trees do need CO2 right?!

"Anything that has been said in this thread by moi does not reflect the opinion of the whole group" (just being safe)

In stock configuration, a Jimny is already a very trailworthy vehicle as long as you know its limits.

I have been off-roading my vehicle since it was stock and I have no problems with it. Of course there are trails that I cannot conquer but that has not stopped me from having fun.

Join us this Saturday and learn a lot about your Jimny's 'other side'. :nerd:

[karel_zhou]

yehey! this would be quite an experience!

[odell]

see you sa sat.. im sure you'll enjoy it!..

[frt]

a este mga boys....bigyan nyo muna nang intro to 4x4 driving si Karel kung sasama sa SAT.

Karel : Better read the topics also in 4x4ph.com so u know "what not to do" with your Jimny.

Best combination and 4x4 and nature trip. Basta thread lightly.

Have fun...sama ko sa next trailing.

[karel_zhou]

so, i should change my wheels first? how much ba yon? what's the best brand? where do i buy?

[frt]

Dont do any modifications first. The stock JImny will be able to do light trails. Tingnan mo muna kung magustuhan mo yung hobby na yon. Then decide after.

I bet you'll like it. :D

[kiper]

karel, I'll be happy to be your spotter..!!

OT means Out of Topic.
Seel? Let's see. Might be a typo error. Maybe odell wants to type it as "sell" instead of "seel"...

[karel_zhou]

oh okay. noted.

[trup]

aahhh gusto ko nyan JIMNY...... do come with us this saturday, read the other topic for details, if you want, i can drive it for you ;) ;).... joke lang

[ian_rex]

correct. kung di mo nga masyadong ginagamit, sell it na lang pero don't modify it, para mataas pa rin ang reselling 'value' just make sure to have it detail inside out bago mo benta.

then get a ride that will fit your lifestyle. :D

[Skywalker]

Don't sell it.

Beside it's offroading capability, it's also suitable for Metro Manila roads and flooded streets.

Change to AT or MT tires kasi parang di bagay ang HT tires.

[tebs]

ano ba model ng jimny mo? JX, JLX or Limited edition? manual or automatic?

para alam ko kung interested ako sa unit mo. hehehe :D

kidding aside, for me, i really love that mini-truck. i was wishing for that for years. just ask alfred. hehehe. he knows ;)
