KAP Suzuki Jimny Jeep

Get him todo it on a lwb vatara, could have a longer bed then and bonus of a diesel if you can run on red
That sounds like a good compromise. Don't think I can run on red as my understanding is you need to be a farmer with your own land to qualify for agri declassification (though I might be wrong). Wouldn't mind a mk 1 V6 G Vit though. I had a mk II 1.9 diesel and it was the best off-road car I've had for treading lightly and never getting stuck, but it's the wrong body shape for what I need. A 4x4 van is what I really want. There's the makings of that in a lwb G Vit conversion. It's an interesting thought.

I paid my deposit in the April and it was delivered in September bearing in mind it was lockdown and he had to source a donor for me

Hmmm.
I had never heard of doing that to the sainted jimny then a couple of years ago we found this half way up the glen.
Not pretty but highly functional and perfect for the shepherd. Not sure whether he had used a chainsaw to split it but it kinda worked for me sooooo maybe when my 17 years old girl finally gives up I will do the same. This is her on the morning of her MOT and annual wash …..

I once considered doing it myself by cutting the rear door in half and using the back door glass as a rear window but my skills are far below what is needed even if I was happy to have a bodge job
I paid more than normal by going for the automatic option and I’m really happy with it although I did get the wheels balanced which removed the famous jimny death wobbles which occurs when a lift of the suspension over two inches is done!
I run my flotation tyres on about 8 psi which makes less mess in the wet than the quad on the farm.

I already have a recently installed 2" lift and suspension, which, together with BFG Muds is sufficient for my needs and also maintains some road manners
I do need to talk to them about paint job
I'm not sure whether to keep it black or change to the green above
I'll also have a tow bar installed

Green. Best for sneaking up on poachers.
I’ve got one the same with canopy turning up next month
There is another route...
It would be great if you could give us a first impressions review then a longer term test !

Bu99er Wish I hadn't bought the Hilux last year
just google grenadier truck
There fantastic machines, had one at a previous job I was at, only thing on the big tyres is when going off road loaded or stop start loaded then put it in low box to help the clutch.
