BHPian antihero recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
With the recent 2L price drop, the Jimny is a good contender for the next 15 years of bad-roading in the mountains.
More than the price its the constant government interference with old vehicles that is disappointing. Reusing a well-maintained old vehicle is much more environmentally friendly than an EV for that matter.
But I digress, the new Jimny is here, bought cash down in one day as they had my favourite colour available. To celebrate I took it for a 900 km trip in the mountains. Compared to the 410W here area few key observations:
Original tyres
Continental AT tyres in the right size!
The old 410W stays home. While i had the option of giving it away as exchange or to scrap it (thanks government). I think the old girl has deserves a life as a senior citizen in the estate. It will not be mollycoddled but will trudge on doing what it does best, being there when the snow hits the fan / heavy monsoons.
I have got a trickle charger just for its battery and 4 body jacks to keep it elevated.
I will also keep the thread alive because there are a lot of old tales to tell about this wonderful machine and the places it has taken me.
Maybe another thread about the Jimny from the perspective of an old Gypsy fart who has used it as a primary car for the past 10 years? Let me know if you think it will be relevant for you.
