    That’s quite a large spacer, I’m guessing with something like a 10mm spacer which I’ll give you around 15mm lift at the wheel, to correct sag caused by bull bar etc. would not be such a big deal. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

    My old Series Land Rover original springs have never lost their tension. They just got rusty, were cleaned and reassembled. However, I have noticed that the later type springs called 'parabolic' have a tendency to sag, and depending on the manufacturer, sometimes quite badly.

    On the Mcfersion struts the bump stop is on shaft of the shock component of the assembly so the spring will still only compress that same stock amount. The droop will be more however so the CV joints will be stressed at a greater angle.

    I went there in 2017 with friends when there was nothing there. Coming from Scotland, you can imagine that it was a bit different from what we normally deal with. Truly one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to. The drive in was spectacular, but the company really made it special for us. Utterly amazing as it was, but of course now there are camps and hotels - looks like we’ll have to find somewhere else if we want peace.

    6:07 The Jimny is only 1500cc & 100Hp. Rev the heck out of it when overtaking and you’ll be just fine. It’s like a 1970’s Italian sports car, you have to MAKE it go fast. -- The ones who know little to nothing about 4x4ing think the Jimny is a joke, a toy. The ones who know a bit more know that the Jimny is massively impressive from the shelf. If diff-lockers are added it turns to a furious maintain goat. I know that from experience as I’ve done it. Adding stiffer Nitro shocks from Ironman made the ride better and increased its capability as well.

  • @BorisEkner
    @BorisEkner Місяць тому

    29:40 Yes, fuel capacity is issue with the Jimny but I am confident it can be solved with jerrycans. - Right? I have double diff-lockers in my 2022 Jimny and they transformed the Jimny from very capable to a beast of a mountain goat. In combination with the Nitro shock absorbers from Ironman it will perform even better when in the jungle. My thanks to Ironman for yet another great video.

    I’m a Gen4 Jimny owner. I did not want a lift kit, but a firmer suspension. I watched this video after I learned that two other brand wasn’t what I wanted. One brand was ridiculously overpriced by the local dealer and did not have the shocks at home, nor did he want to sell me only the shocks without the 40mm lift springs. The second brand had the complete kit at a better price than the first but refused to sell me only the shocks. Your representative had no issue selling me the shocks and included a steering damper as well in the price. That was a pleasant surprise. I travel light in my Jimny. I don’t need the most advanced shocks. Standard Nitro’s are good enough for my kind of driving. I wanted a slightly more firm suspension, and I got it! The ride is slightly stiffer in a straight line on tarmac. It is a lot stiffer when cornering at higher speeds, and it doesn’t dip as much when braking hard from high speeds. I got just what I wanted and I am very happy with the choice and purchase made. No regrets whatsoever. My thanks to you for creating a great product!

    @jeanrimmer129 Місяць тому

    Also worth noting, a fine is not the worst case scenario here. If you are involved in an accident with the 750kg+ trailer/caravan attached to your vehicle your insurance will also not pay out your claims since you are not licensed to be towing that weight. Could potentially cost you hundreds of thousands!

      there is a difference, to do an EB licence, you do the HMV test (alley docking from the right, the left turn and straight reverse, as well as the code B parallel parking, you have to detach and attach the trailer before and after the parallel) The Trailer can be unloaded, but has to have a GMV of >750 kg ie. 751kg and above. and no, I have been asked before, you DO NOT lose your originally obtained license if you fail the EB test.

    Thank you for the video. Always interesting to see different perspectives. We have enjoyed our Hilux's VERY much over the last 20 years. Below a breakdown of our last 6 Overland vehicles and a short summary of each: 2.7 Petrol - Thirsty but good vehicle. Reliable. 3.0 KZTE - Very nice offroad, but don't tow with it, as you struggle to maintain speed of 110+. Overtaking requires a project plan! (It could have done better with an intercooler) 4.0 V6 - Wow, awesome motor - THIRSTY. Need to get used to the auto box, liked to hunt gears. Towed like a dream! 3.0 D4D - VERY nice vehicle. Very capable. Good for towing. Had wonderful overland trips with this vehicle. - Will buy it again if I can find it with low mileage! 2.8 GD-6 - WOW! Really, really nice vehicle!! Again wonderful overland trips, tows nicely. NOTHING wrong with it! Will definitely buy one again! Land Cruiser 79 4.5 V8 - Since this is our last Overland vehicle purchase, I decided on a 'never die workhorse'. It is expensive for the luxuries you get. You spend a LOT of money kitting it out, more than the Hilux would. The V8 motor is a jewel. AWESOME!!! I chose the LC for its absolute ruggedness. It will last us 15 to 20 years. Don't think the Hilux will last as gracefully as the Cruiser. (My opinion), and to replace an Overland vehicle while on Pension is a money pit. Rather spend once, and a little more and have a solid vehicle for the next 15-20 years. This was my logic in any case. Like Mic says, the Land Cruiser you need to actively drive it. Focus. It is a hell of a lot of FUN to drive. I loved my 2.8 GD6, but I *LOVE* my Cruiser Either vehicle, will take you to Kenya and back! - The LC will do so many many times over! PS, my wife did NOT like the "Plaasbakkie" since the idea surfaced, even when I bought it. It was ugly, not enough cup holders, etc etc etc. While on our first Botswana trip, she admitted the LC was a GOOD BUY. She loves the Cruiser now ;-)
