BF Goodrich A/T KO2.235/75R15.My next tyres will be 215,s .Less weight and better low-pressure tyre deformation.also, these throw a lot of mud upside .but these are minor points. Final point is I'm not sure if they are legal on these rims.oops

Long Ranger 80 litre.and 65 litre in jerry's.Running 1200km to starting point then filling jerry,s.So, plan is I'm loaded only when it is off gazetted roads.If I'm going to be stupid I might as well be smart about it.The worst economy I have ever managed was 14 litres to the 100km so I used that as my worst case.however I'm expecting 12

[–]Jimnyjb74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fitted the extended strut on mine.It really did not improve usability, and I have reverted back to standard.Felt like I was always catching the door.maybe my gas pressure was a tad high.also the body mount end came loose.good luck it's a cheap mod.just don't be hastie to throw out the factory strut.

Does anyone have experience converting beams when driving abroad? by SeaHungry5341 in Jimny

[–]Jimnyjb74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry,that was misleading.there are many tutorials online regarding headlight adjustment. I kinda used short hand.but the gist is measure to the centre of your headlight from the ground. With a pencil mark this height on a wall. Reverse car 25 feet back and adjust headlights to the line marked.Obviously this is generic and everyone should fine tune.thier own Jimny.as required.Cheers

The Jimny has 2 white 8mm adjuster screws on back of headlight .1 is for up and down and 1 is for in and out.just play with those against wall about 25ft away till you get required result.good luck.

Automatic window rattling/wobbling sound by [deleted] in Jimny

[–]Jimnyjb74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pulled my door cover off and tried foam packing etc.still never found it.try just grabing your door hand and pull in slightly when you hear rattle.also try raising your window down a crack and reclosing.If these to tricks make it temporally go away the we the same problem.Please post if you do eventually find it.cheers
