flash Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 looking at making my suzuki jimny more robust, and more suitable for off road. first thing on my mind is new tyres, probably BFG all terrains. then maybe a wrap around bumper, removing the original bumper, as the over hang is to much. and then maybe a "2 lift on the suspension. only looking at modifications, that can be eaaily reversed if needed. cheers flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are better tyres on the market than bf. theres penty of remolds on the market that are cheap. at the end of the day if you spend alot of time off roading they get torn, sliced come of the rims whrn running at low psi get what you can afford but speak to people first becasuse some can be realy noisy on the road at speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 If you are getting rims and rubber for purely off-roading, look out for Insa Turbo Mountains(205/70 R15) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
