Some photos of Paraglider's Jimny in Sapang Bato. I was following him and can clearly see how well his Jimny performed. His Jimny was so light and the weight-to-power ratio was so high that he was just gliding over the lahar river bed while my rig had to really dig in. Notice how he angled his line so that he does not fall into the tracks of the bigger boys ahead.

Kaso, noong pabalik, he was following me and did not see where I passed through when we went around a curve. He followed right into my tracks and ended up high-centered. We had to snatch him out.

Eto lang yung disadvantage ng Jimny (same as the Vits, Samurais, and Ferozas). If they are following the big boys in the trail, usually pag daan nila malalalim na yung mga tracks and they have difficulty following if they are not lifted or fitted with bigger tires. Kaya usually, sila pinapauna sa trail.

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?

Go to my place and test drive my Jimny. Bring your everest with you and let me feel it too. Para malaman ko din ride ng procomp.

Kung magkalapit lang sana tayo ng lugar, why not?

Larshell: Stock height lang yung Jimny. The tires are just slightly bigger than stock. And it's not a real M/T tire. Yan yung mga pang old military jeep na gamit na rin ng jeepneys ngayon.

JJCarEnthusiast: I can't give it's exact 0-100 kph time. But it's definitely not a slow poke. It can hit 120-130 kph, maybe even more. Ganda ng gearing ng Jimny. Well, all Suzuki's for that matter.
