Modified (on a budget!) Suzuki Jimny Gen 3 walk round - 6 YEAR UPDATE
Quick look at my budget friendly 2007 Jimny. This is an update to my 3 year walk round. Built to suit my needs for lanes and camping. Modified on a budget over the last 6 years, always looking to keep cost down where possible. Anything you want to know, just ask and I'll try and answer as soon as I can. Did forget to mention, most bushes are now polybush, and the rack is from hazfabs (recommended!)

Trailwise ref SH6209-02 / SH6412-02 ,Bomber Lane (from SH6008-03). Nice easy track, with some spectacular views. Suitable for most SUVs. Check out the plaque which gives the lane its name. I have decided to do full lane videos when I can for those looking to plan routes.

Overheating under load? Gen3 Jimny thermo coupling radiator fan removal and repair
Переглядів 2662 місяці тому
Does your car have a thermo coupling fan and overheat under load? May be time to change the oil, not the fan. Easy enough to do, and for the sake of £5, worth trying before replacing.

How hard are the covers to take off
Sorry, I don't really know - a rock took mine off for me!
I want one
@@johncarrillo3518 don't do it!
I run an immaculate one as a daily, gets looks everywhere I go but there are not there best on fuel, expensive road tax for what they are, uncomfortable at times, terrible on motorways, but they are good fun reliable cars to have. Just watch out for the rot boxes if you're looking at getting one.
@@connerhuetson3581 I think that sums it up!
What cb antenna is this and will it fold over nicely wenn hitting a deep hanging tree branch?
Hi, this is a springer cb antenna (ebay). No issues when going under branches. Cheers
Bonjour ça ce situe où .? Dans quel région.ca serait pas là strata Florida ?
Tous les deux sont dans Pays de Galles. La route dans cette video commence a cette répere maps.app.goo.gl/P55KZqnZ42nsPETz6 . Strata Florida est plutot dans le sud je pense, mais si vous le rechercher sur Google Maps vous le retrouverai.
Salut, Strata est à environ 1 heure d'ici. Ça vaut vraiment le détour, quelques ruelles très intéressantes.
Did you get them tires from mate they look amazing
Hi, bought from Camskill (new set are also from them). Updated walk around coming Monday!
great video thanks! Looks like you did not tighten the screws very much? I have a JB74 jimny and the manual says 50nm for the filll and 55nm for the drain plug. Thats quite a bit no?
Hi, I do own a torque wrench, but rarely use it! I just tightened to what I felt was right, sometimes you just know (I hope!)
@@CLSJimny4x4 I also think the 50/55 Nm is way too much, greatly increasing the risk of the screws seizing and heads getting stripped out. Manual also says that the screw + seals have to be replaced for every diff oil change.. but nobody does that really :D
Bonjour je vois que vos chemin sont aussi en mauvaise état que nous en France.😂
Salut, ce sont les meilleurs !
Thanks for the video. I watched, and was able to fit hubs easily myself !
@@kenwells9327 thank you, I appreciate the feedback.
could i get the location please
Hi, if you support GLASS you can look up the ref on Trailwise2. Unfortunately, this channel is only a hobby and don't have the time to check it for you. Cheers
Good video / I’ll give this a share on my pages tomorrow for you 👍🏻
@@vitmods7086 thanks, that would be great. Hopefully will help someone. Cheers
do you have an aftermarket exhaust fitted?
@@connerhuetson3581 hi, no this is just a standard exhaust, cheers.
What size are those tires ? btw very nice looking Jimny
@@_Noble. Hi, they are just 215/75/15 (2" lift). And thanks!
Great and helpful video
Amazing little car if you are on a tight budget1
Not so cheap here now unfortunately - but great little car off tarmac.
This car is not cheap, 10 year old used cars cost around 15,000 euros in Germany
Interesting. I have a 2008 Jimny. It has had an oil leak for years and the mechanic replaced seal after seal. Then he said that I had to replace the cardan. I did not know what it was but found out what it would cost! Keep in mind, I live in the south of Chile, so ordering spares from Europe is rather expensive. I eventually found a great mechanic. It turned out that there was a crack in the weld that joined the spline to the "horn" of the cardan. The solution was to braze the joint. If anyone want more information, let me know. I have photographs.
i bought a 2018 jimny. the last of the old ones. its my baby. we get some awlfull weather here and its unbeatable.
Great little things off the tarmac - enjoy it!
Very nice footage and editing. Keep going! 😊
@@zen6zen thank you, it is one of my better ones. I am usually on my own so getting video is harder for me. Cheers
You must clean the redirection triangle the seatbelt slides over more thoroughly. I found out an my 2001 jimny that gunk will accumulate on the surface the belt slips over. The thing is the surface you need to clean is very very unaccessible. The only way i was able to clean a bit of it was to move the belt as far to the right and to the left as i possibly could. Maybee a super thin leather rag fiddled underneath the belt would work. I nearly desperate enough to try it with very fine grid sandpaper cut to the exact width. This issue is a huge pain in the ass since I own my jimny and cleaning often lasts only a few weeks until it will get stuck again.
@@oxdudepoege thanks for that, will give it a go. Works much better, but not perfect so worth a try. It isn't my daily, so hopefully lasts longer between cleans!
Suzuki Samurai and Jimny 🤓👏👏👍👍
Hi, my Twingo wasn't going in to gear. I was ready to out it to we buy any car but thought I would give this a go and it worked!! I greased the linkage as well while I was under there. I used a long pipe and a funnel to get the oil in as it was all I had, which worked pretty well. Thanks for saving my car.
@@misteryreviewer1426 always good to hear one of my little videos helped someone! Thanks.
@@CLSJimny4x4 If you still have the Twingo it might be worth checking the clutch push rod as they can pop off leaving you with no clutch. I replaced mine with an X8R one, cost about 20 quid and it can't come off as the joints have pins in them. Worth doing for peace of mind, although it is a fiddly job to do.
@@misteryreviewer1426 Hi, yes he has just insured it for another year. The little rod was the 1st issue we had - day after we bought it! Got the updated bit fitted, although was a bit of a pig.
just turned 17 and got a grey 2009 Jimny what are the best upgrades I can do for a low cost?
Hi. Here is a link to what I did to mine a few years ago (doing a new walk around next few weeks to show what worked and what got binned). ua-cam.com/video/8ud23qIo5WU/v-deo.html Being a new driver, you will need to keep things simple so you don't get stung on the insurance. Everything I do is budget friendly, so have a look and get some ideas. A few videos on my channel showing how some bits were done. The rear table I think is the most used though. Cheers
@@CLSJimny4x4 picking my jimny up on Thursday its done 150,000 miles what are some things I should look out for that could fault or be affected by this amount of milage
@@user-kr7zm4xr6s it isn't the miles you need to worry about if been looked after, it is rust. They rust really bad between the front and rear number plates! Make sure you check it all underneath, especially behind headlights and body mounts. Log onto bigjimny.com as there is a buyers guide. Cheers
Greate job. What exactly oil did you use and what are the symptoms of a bad fan?
Hi, a picture of the oil is shown in the video, used in remote control cars I think. The car started to overheat under load, and felt as if there was no resistance when hot. Cheers
i bought one of the last of the old jimnys. a 2018 one in 2020. its my baby. very good in snow and ice.
What roof rack is this? That looks even better than my horn tools
Hi, can certainly recommend. Had a lot of weight on it, been on a few years. Pete Hazzard - is on the Jimny forums. Cheers
** UPDATE ** Had a couple of days in Wales with trailer (4hr trip there and 4hrs back), and pulling trailer on some lanes. Managed to go on the few hot days between the rain and no overheating, so seems to have worked.
tks for your vid mate. nice thing about the Zook. is she'll take you there and then back home. beautiful country side. so green. Just and oz here. brakes on trailer, nah not heavy enough. Cheers fella
Hi. Just heading back to Wales this morning with the trailer, last trail before deciding to fit the tent to it. May go to a lighter unbraked one. Cheers
What mods have you added to this motor . Good video mate
Hi, it has had a few tweaks over the years, will be putting an updated walk around on here in the next few weeks. Cheers
Why do Suzuki vehicles rust / rot so easily?
Hi. This is a Jap thing. They don't salt the roads there, so the underbody protection is limited.
I have the same one for 4 yrs now. Has survived being banged around a bit and still going strong. Quiet and very little battery drain. Love it. Well done Halfords. 👌
Nice really handy video. Did you notice any handling improvement from this?
Hi, didn't notice any difference in handling. Was charged due to it making noise, it hadn't completely failed. Cheers
Enjoying the peace? Lol. Try silence.
Peace is a state of mind. But I get your point!
Nice Jimny :)
I have had a jimny for 10 years. It was already 10 years old when I got it. Just bought another I love them. ❤ lady driver here.
I've also kept my old one for parts. Engine in that old one is immaculate.
Hi. Great for what they are - but every week for the last 6 years I keep thinking about selling it!
@@CLSJimny4x4 and you still keep it 😂😂
Are you going to the BigJimny meet in July?
Hi, unfortunately not, date clashes. Keep seeing the pics from others so will get to one eventually!
Wr is this location?
Hi. Trailwise ref for 1 of the lanes is SK6890-06, all around Bawtry / Retford. Cheers
Inform me when you go on the next trip and I will join with you
Thanks, but I enjoy my solo outings!
@CLSJimny4x4 ok can you share the location details plz..🙏
@@regilabraham3508 Hi, the places visited are noted in the title (Google is your friend here). The lanes themselves can be found in Trailwise2, unfortunately I can't remember the refs at this point. Thanks.
Hi can this be charged from standard home electricity and how long would charge take?
Hi, do you mean from a normal 3 pin plug? The charger it comes with is 1.3KW, so takes a very long time! It works out about 3miles per hour of charge. A normal home charger is around 7KW, and will take from 20% to 100% in around 8hrs. My current Volvo comes with a 2.4KW 3 pin plug charger. Cheers
First the mildly funny bit: at a first glance I thought you meant Green Lanes in Harringay, North London, as a starting point for a drive to East Yorks. Now the much more serious point: It's absolutely outrageous and DISGUSTING for you and your kind to be chewing up and completely messing up such green roads/ trackways for other users - walkers and pedal cyclists - with your yuppy jeeps and suchlike just for a bit of utterly self-indulgent fun at others' expense. IMHO you want your backside kicking. Fyi I speak as an exiled native of East Yorks who knows and loves that north Wolds territory well - keep off it with your motorised monstrosities, take a walk and get some exercise and a real feel for the country instead and stop ruining it for others.
Well driven and well spotted. I didn't enjoy this lane. Just worried about tipping and the steps too.
Thank you. Just a shame I didn't have the tripod for the camera to capture the hardest bits, people could make a more informed choice on doing the lane. Cheers
Great videos im learning alot from you mate. Thanks keep these videos coming
Thanks, to be honest, I'm learning as I go!
Wish we had green lanes north of the border 😢
It is a shame, Scotland always looks a great place to take the little 4x4. Love the Niva!
Thanks for posting this! What size tyres are you running here out of curiousity?
Hi, running 215/75/15 on a 2" lift, cheers
Fella, respect to you, seeking out the Sherman on the olde Staffs Regt/RAF live target firing range.... Did you note the Merryton Low crashed Stirling site, just along from the tank, where crashed a Canadian crewed Stirling, from Waddington, in 1942, just clipping the very edge of the hill? It's "totalled' crew, bar one, are laid in a row in Buxton cemetery.. 303's and 'bits' lying around. If you find the site, you'll know.. Also WW2 time a/c came down upon The Roaches. (re the Merryton Low Stirling, please see Ron Colliers Dark Peak Aircraft Wrecks Volume 2, hey and Vol 1 for that matter).
I had my bullet proof rain coat on! Didn't know about the plane, will have to go back another day - cheers!
Can you get any live information from the Jimny with these?
Hi, you can get live data with both of them.
100% restorable. Bogies look good, too. Engines and internals shouldn't be too hard to source being mostly M3 stuff. (Canadian Ram based on the M3 rather than M4 Sherman). However, the problem may not lie in the cost of restoration,but the cost of recovery and the bureaucracy surrounding the recovery. Sometimes it's the terrain stopping recovery- walls that have been built since that would need to be demolished etc, and even protected species like Newts living in the nearby area have all led to rare vehicles or crash sites staying put.
Hi. Access is fine, removing would not be the main issue. It is on MOD land, so I think paperwork would be a pain.
That Kangaroo should be saved its a rare version, nothing that cant be repaired.
Not sure - looks a bit past it to me, but more of it left than the last one I looked at.
If the upper hull and lower is in one piece it is that bit that is important can weld all the holes rest of the tank just bolts to the hull. I have seen one front of a Sherman cut in Half and the rear off another welded together.@@CLSJimny4x4
the bullet holes could be 50cals or 20mm cannon shells. both make similar holes.
Do you need a lift for these tyres or can you run them without
Hi, I put the lift on 1st so would not guarantee. However, I think you could with some minor trimming of the bumper.
looks like 50cal rounds to make holes in a sherman tank
No idea, but big enough hole to stick a finger through!
This is the gear ?! Or The 4X4 ?
This is the transfer box (the 4x4 bit).
Thank you.
