Conygree Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 My lad is starting tree work and need a small 4x4, he keeps borrowing my wifes Jimny - great little motor but what other models to look for about 2002? He fancies a Mitsu Pinin but I advised him to widen his search, like most lads they won't listen to dad so any advice for price/quality etc from small 4x4 owners on here. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwie Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I've got a pinin 4work and am a tree surgeon greate little truck will go anywhere. Nice and comfy ride, ok on fuel not very good if you want to tow anything, I have towed a 1.5 ton chipper with it but u know your towing. Fingers crossed I'm going back to keeping and am prob going to sell mine to get a pickup (need more seats) my mrs wants to keep it, she uses it when she goes picking up she did 55 days and she didn't even get it stuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conygree Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Thanks for the post Screwie, as I put earlier we have my wife's 02 Jimny since new (I have a 4life L200) it's a great little 4x4 but not so good +60mph and my lad needs a set of wheels with a few more 'man points'. You say your wife used it for pickingup but I couldn't see any A/T M/T tyres for it on Camskill, did you fit larger wheels? I help out at a local large estate shoot doing tree work with the L200 and when it starts it's quad/dog time - x2 black working cockers, having post-shoot depression at the moment. thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwie Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Ive got bfg all terrains on mine it will go anywhere, it light so doesn't bog down. I was a full time keeper tree work has just been a stop gap hopefully by the end of the week will have sorted another job out. I've got my pinin more places than I could get the estate LR90 with mud terrains. I would say a cheap pickup would be better for your lad if he can afford it will be more use. We can get our 6 dogs in at a push just need a double cab as we want to have just the one truck so need more seats as the pinin is just a two seater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conygree Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Good luck with the new job Screwie . Lad fancies a pickup but a bit young for insurance. Be careful :look: to some on here it's a 'hanging offence' to say you got stuck in a landy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
