Jimny Takes on Fire Truck Hill (Lithgow) 

Cheers, will do.

Good to hear, cheers

Thank you, that means a lot

Cheers mate. Got a new one coming out Wednesday. Just squeezed it in before the lockdowns. Catch you around

They’re a great little vehicle cheers.

Cheers, enjoy your new Jimny

Nice, I’d love a samurai to go with mine. Both just as hard to get

Cheers

You’re not wrong there... Most fun I’ve had in any 4wd that I’ve owned.

Cheers, I totally agree

Fantastic, I’ll be keeping an eye out for that

Billy Goat Jim I’ve just picked up the new Mavic Air 2 as well. Pick it up on Wednesday. Once I get some decent footage down pat I’ll share on here.

I’m jealous, I’ve got the Mavic Air 1 and I love it. The Air 2 looks like it’s a massive step up.

They sure are. I love the Samurais

It sure is

Thank you

Thanks for that. I will

Cheers. That’s definitely on the cards down the track

Cheers, I think without lockers you need much more momentum to do the off camber stuff.

Will do... I’m curious to see how the jimny will go in the Watagans. Cheers

Thanks. I’m slowly adding cameras and microphones to try and get a more polished finished product... once the lockdown has lifted I do plan on going back to tackle mount walker

@@BillyGoatJim sweet as, my patrol is pretty capable but I don't think it would make it up mt walker track without 5 hours of winching 😅. I have a vid of my last trip to mt walker with some footage up Pajero hill track.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ulVQM7ch3K0.html I'm Also thinking of using some proper gear and editing software after the lock down and having a real go without just phone footage.

You’re 100% right. They’re amazing vehicles. The biggest drawback I’ve found off road is the gearing. A set of reduction gears like you said would make it almost unstoppable.

@@BillyGoatJim are there some reduction gears kits for the new Jimny?

Absolutely, they drop the revs and also make the speedo more accurate. I find when the speedo reads 100km/h, the GPS reads 98-99km/h. That being said there is a small power drop, I didn't really notice, as the Jimny isn't exactly fast in the first place. Cheers

I ended up going the Warn Zeon. I’m really happy with it so far

Gday, the traction control is ok but does not stack up against a complete locked diff. They are a hugely capable vehicle stock, it all depends how you drive and where you take it. For me I like to drive slower and more controlled and the lockers are a huge help as you don’t need the momentum you would need without them. The Jimny is not exactly a sports car but once you’re at speed, I find it is very stable, especially once the suspension is swapped out for the aftermarket versions. Cheers

Im not too sure mate. I haven’t installed a snorkel yet

I’ve done a quick walk around the car with some of the mods ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6OxIDrDHPlI.html. I plan in doing another soon after the next round of mods that’s a little more in depth

That’s a great track. I’ll add it to the list. Cheers

Yep plenty of tough tracks around the area

@@BillyGoatJim I like you choose the save way with the winch before you total your Jimny.

Yep, I don’t see the need to be a hero. Save your car for another track

Fingers crossed one day

I have the MT. AT gives you a lot of control as you don’t need to ride the clutch when you are going slow, however I wasn’t sold on a 4 speed auto on such an under powered vehicle. If the jimny had a bit more power and a strong 5 speed auto I would have gone for that. In saying this a lot of people are very happy with their autos.

@@BillyGoatJim Thanks Bro!

That’s a shame you guys don’t have it over there. Fingers crossed Suzuki has a change of heart

It’s funny you say that, my next video is a review on some seat covers that are a little different to the norm. Stay tuned

Cheers. I’m running 235/75r15 tyres on 16x7” rims, it’s also got a 40mm Old Man Emu lift.

@@BillyGoatJim very nice mate yea just bought one for the mrs just trying to decide om tyres now , um how do you find the change in power from the tyre size

Nice, they’re a great car... I didn’t really notice the power change to tell you the truth. They’re not exactly a powerhouse of a vehicle though.

@@BillyGoatJim nice one i can't wait to get it and start the build

Loove the vids! Keep them coming.. btw, did you need spacers for the wheels and tires, or the offset of the wheels was enough?

Gday, the tyres are 235x75 r15 BFG KO2s. Wheels are 15x7 king steel rims with zero offset.

Only to try it out, it’s a little to fast for my liking

mate Your vids are worth being locked up. during lockdown. except I cant smell that cool fresh air. just subscribed.. keep em coming

Haha, so true

We learn something new every time we hit the tracks. Thanks for the comment 👍

Gday I’ve got ARB air lockers in this

The lockers are an ARB Airlocker. The part numbers are - FR22SPL & 26SPL

@@BillyGoatJim Really thk. I from PANAMA, and seriusly i want this parts, but when i was looking for it the ARB site "www.arb.com.au/site/wp-content/uploads/pricelists/ARBRetailPriceList.pdf" could not find for the Jimny GJ 2019 model. But now that i know wich spare parts and your video, i can try to contac with the distribuitor on my country for the adquisition [after i save some money :)].

I’ll look into that one, and add it to the list. Cheers

I’ve got the ARB air lockers... a snorkel is on the list but I’m trying to find one I like

@@BillyGoatJim Im running safari snorkel on my 04 jimny cyclonic air filter rather happy with it. Lockers on my list though kinda waiting and dreaming that they will make a harrop locker.

I’ve been waiting for safari to release a snorkel for this model. Fingers crossed it comes out soon

@@BillyGoatJim Won't be disappointed happy with mine. If installing yourself I advise nibbler makes it so much easier.

Good to know cheers

Battle Scars

Thats what this car is for

@@brettwilson9181 for not broken

Good to know, thanks

I’ve since bought some microphones so hopefully you should start noticing some improvement. Thanks for the comment f
