Guys, Wala na tayong magagawa. Jimny is a waste of Money PERIOD. Pero it brings Joy into my life after ni Joy, Ruby came in, then si Tess tapos si Gwen ganyan kalakas si Jimny. Kasi all those names I mentioned are interested how it feels driving a Jimny kaya may first base na agad. After naman ma test drive they ask for more. Hindi naman ako makatangi kaya bigay lang ng bigay. Special car belongs to special people. Si Dok Otep,Max and Me mga special children kasi kami, mga sira ulo. As Dok Otep mentioned at early page of this thread You have a loose screw if you buy one. Kaya buy na.


*Max, Ang alam ko lang podium yun sa ortigas. Bike naman tayo minsan. sorry sa OT

Jimny is like smoking crack cocaine...you don't have to but it just feels good. hehe.

Btw, saw a Black Jimny Special M/T (the ones with silver roof rails, blue upholstery, and 'special' badging) in Banawe today. I think it's an '03 model but the wheels and front bumper have been swapped for the newer looking units.

Selling for Php350k neg. 09175332285 if you guys are interested.

simulang binata, pang lima ko na yung Jimny, at kung kailan pa tumanda ako at ngayon ko lang naintindihan ang - I love my car
also, maraming talagang kaibigan at kamaganak ko nagtataka na sa daming klaseng sasakyan Jimny pa nabili ko???
dati if you arrive to your destination , tapos na
But ngayon ko lang naintindihan ang kantang Magdradrive ako hangang umaga at hangang bisaya.

uu nga eh.. basta set ko na ang mind ko sa jimny sana may makitang color black na matic na 2005 above haha...

[paolo37]

ask ko lang mga jimny owners:

1. Hindi ba maka lampag ang jimny?
2. Mas mura ba ang parts ng jimny compare sa others cars like civic,city,jazz,vios etc?

salamat.. pag may alam kayong nag sell ng black jimny na matic tell me haha.. gusto ko talaga black...

[pop3corn]

this is one the oldest model cars in the Phils, and yet this is also one of the rarest car we see on the road. my take on parts, expensive ito as probably other than CASA there are only a few 3rd party shops who specialize in the importation of its parts.

[OTEP]

Stiff ang ride pero hindi makalampag. Mas makalampag pa minsan ang mga Vios na kaedad nitong unit namin.

Maintenance parts are not expensive since replacements are available. Maintenance wise, mas mura ang Jimny vs my Toyota LC80.

Replacement parts are also available for some engine and underchassis parts. A replacement Jimny shock absorber is in the vicinity of Php1000.00. Even a replacement Jazz or Vios shock absorber costs 3x that amount.

And the underchassis is tough, 2003 model pero wala pa pinalitan sa pang ilalim dahil ok pa naman. Even if Im not too kind on it. Sinasampa ko sa bangketa, walang stop sa lubak, etc. ginagamit ko kasing pang responde sa emergency with blinkers and all. Yung Jazz dati matulin pero slow down naman ako ng slow down kasi sasayad or masisira sa responde.

Its the body and trim parts like taillamps, hood, etc. that can be expensive on the Jimny as few replacements or surplus units exist.

Hi guys! New guy here. I'm seriously considering getting a bnew jimny due to my routine commute being too flood-prone. However with this regard I'm curious if there's a one stop shop (QC area) that I can have my jimny lifted and possibly have a snorkel fitted in as well? I really like what I've been reading about this tough little truck :-)

Thanks in advance!

-Dirtdiver

[larshell]

Dirtdiver, From your username palang mukhang baggy sayo ang jimny. Go get one! Just be careful with floods, know the limit. Thanks!

[MAXBUWAYA]

Say 2003 Vios vs Jimny.
Sa Jimny almost eliminate mo na ang cost sa miantenance for suspension.
Sa mga vios and the like sigurado, malaki din mauubos mo sa suspension.
Mga belt like powersteering and fan belt, dami ding replacement and orig
Sa mga Aux fan madami naman replacement na puede
Sa Airocn like evaporator, kasya daw pang mga Kia, and meron din namang replacement

*Max, Ang alam ko lang podium yun sa ortigas. Bike naman tayo minsan. sorry sa OT

Puede din kaya lang hindi na ako gfanoon kaactive, say if we take maarat roxas baka mag struglle ako, pero kung Munti trails baka ok pa ako. san ka ba nagtrail?

[dreamur]

my 2008 model jimny matic is now running close to 50km and the only parts I have replaced so far are the wiper blades because the rubbers got stiffed!

[OTEP]

Snorkel is 10,500.00 sa Hyperflow in Quezon City. The other snorkel brand, Airtec is $$$ and has to be imported by special order.

Lift is by Ironman or Old Man Emu. Ironman is ordered from Pablo Escobar of 4x4ph.com or via Dr. G's Car Clinic in Quezon City also.

I don't know of any one stop shop. Although 4xForce in Greenhills, and Filmar's Katipunan are both Zuk specialist shops. They'll probably order the parts from the aforementioned dealers also if you want them to work on your rig.

Personally, I'd just drop by Hyperflow and have the snorkel fitted (Php1,500 fee) and drive on over to Dr. G's (for Ironman) or RATS Katipunan (for Old Man Emu).

Max,
Nung nabutas evaporator ng Jimny, pagbukas ni Mang Mario, ang ganda daw ng evaporator ng Jimny and nakuha pa sa hinang. Iba pa din quality ng Made in Japan minsan. Imbis na palit evaporator (Php4,500++?) ay cleaning na lang ang siningil (Php700.00). Kung sa Vios ito (for comparison lang) tatanggalin pa ang buong dashboard to get to the a/c. Ubos ang araw ko. Sa Jimny, glove box lang aalisin.

[paolo37]

sir MAX...

ask ko lang kung ano mga napalitan nyo na jan sa jimny nyo...
