Nice shots...

Hmmm, the new model has a smaller approach angle right? How does it fair compared to the big boys?

Have had the opportunity to go on trails with a Jimny - at Sapang Bato, Pinatubo, Balayan, and even at Jungle Base. With the right tires, it's really a very capable vehicle -- very nimble and sprightly. Can get into tight areas where bigger rigs can't. It's so light that it just floats on lahar and mud. Only downside is it's low ground clearance. It easly gets high-centered. But with just the right amount of lift, it can out-perform bigger rigs.

I can't compare it with the old model I didn't have the chance to drive one on off road. I did dis align my front bumper while doing this:

This is why I'm now thinking to avail of more lift and Mud tires. I wish I had those on this event. Sayang!

I already sold my Montero's. Jimny is on OME shocks and springs and stock tires only.

Sir Larshell,

If you want to replace your OME shocks and coils for a higher lift, I'm willing to buy it

Jimny's are so fun. The one we have here is still the older model with a stick shift 4wd. Hoping to bring it to the farm soon.

It's like a 4wd sports car. :D
