1st Off Road test drive of my Jimny

alam ko Goodyear ang brand ng kargador. usually gamit ng long stainless owner type jeep.
pero may nakikita din akong kargador type na maliit. not sure if available locally or it came with the unit from Japan.

Meron yang kargador locally, pero for 14" rims lang. Mabigat pati at maingay daw. Mahirap pang daily drive pero aggressive yung design.

I tried asking for the maxxis trepador and the official dealer said that they only sell the big sizes. The small sizes have to be ordered by bulk and may take 3-4 months. Oh well...

Is the 215/75R15 too big for the jimny? Mine is auto trans and it may put too much strain to the engine. I might settle for A/T tires instead as smaller sizes are available.

Afaik kasya yong 215/75/R15 sa stock height ng Jimny.

Sir Larshell, next week baka magpapalagay na ako ng OME coils and shocks (di na makahintay

). Sulit po ba yung price sa improvement ng ride? Significant improvement po ba? Habol ko rin yung increase ride height kaya palit coils din.

Drave, Noticeable ride improvement but it does not meet my expectation. Hard pa rin kasi ang ride sa rear pero sa front sakto sa gusto ko.
Handling improves significantly especially when cornering. Steering wobble is reduce. Height increase is only 40MM less than 2inch but noticeable.
Overall I would say 90% satisfied with OME shocks and springs.
Feel mo muna yong stock ride for a month or two to fully appreciate the improvement with OME.

Thanks a lot, sir!

I might put Procomp adjustable shocks for the rear instead of OME to improve rear ride. That's my shocks for my everest and it reduced most of it's bounciness. What d'ya think?
