bobby dazzler Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) What's this two glostershire men having a go at each other? OK I admit it the Jimny is the 'real fun car' I put a set of snowchains on last winter and had great fun nothing stopped it and being shorter could out do the l200 easy in some places, as was proved on the landrover test track, plus alot cheaper to run. I need the L200 for woodland work with it's load carrying plus a big winch on the back for tree pulling - both have their uses //whats this two gloucestershire men having a go at each other water of a ducks back to me let him get on with it some people it makes really happy Edited December 20, 2010 by bobby dazzler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conygree Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Just put 2 fresh A/Ts on the Jimny, and i've been out playing in the snow in it for the past 2 weeks... Why drive in well-worn tracks when you can blaze a new trail!!? did you go up a size from 205/70 as I need another set for mine and fancy putting A/T's on next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Some of us dont need a big jucy 4X4 to look big and ''ard'' My shooting motor goes everywhere I need it too even past Nissan Navara's and an L200's which couldn't get up a steep icy/snowy road Fitted with 215 75 15 BFG AT's (2nd picture was Last year in the snow, never got stuck once ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conygree Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 why have you gone quite BD - not bed time is it?? Sorry if I was taking the hiss I have had a look in the loft and found one kiddy sledge, one inflatable sledge ( bit like Anne Widdicome) and a few old surf boards and some ski's and size 12 boots = one size fits all. Back to the Jimny off road, on the shoot we have an old R reg Vitara with std rims and A/T's it really goes everywhere - in places I would not take my L200, only my quad. the only reason I don't use the Jimny off road is it's my wife's since new 02 reg and she really looks after it - more than can be said about my motor.

leadbreakfast Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 my jimny goes anywere too. had a landy before good 4x4 but not as fun as this. a l200 is too long a wheel base for off roading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lucky on the L200 as I was given a set of 31x10.5 15" M/T's 'turbos' on a set of alloys may be time to change over if the snow stays. For shooting the Jimny would be great but my wife doesn't want 'dead things' in her jeep. The L200 with it's split back is great for petrol/saws and big 'dead things'. Let me know how you get on on Cleeve tomorrow, last time their I took my son jump biking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conygree Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 And if it did ever get stuck, you can just pick it up and walk home with it under your arm... Yep the good thing about a Jimny is if it breaks down or needs upgrading it's fully covered for 3 years by 'toys R us' (sorry - couldn't help it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 And if it did ever get stuck, you can just pick it up and walk home with it under your arm... Some people just dont have a clue You just put the big key in the back, give it a few turns, hop in, let the hand break off and hold tight Failing that the rear light clusters pull down and 2 bars pull out, lift and walk wheelbarrow stylee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conygree Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Hey a real AC/DC Jimny owners club - how about meeting up with BD on Cleeve hill for some 'dogging'. Ok - It's nearly my bed time, so the only way we are going to solve this it to prove this once and for all, is it the man or the motor. time for the Xmas duel - how about meeting up on Cleeve hill for the 'L200 - v - Jimny' christmas sledging competition?? it's ok for the Jimny members to wear their bob the builder helmets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
