@@lordchadwickedwardsiii4093 I was just trying to bring you the facts after seeing the jimny accident...and the way the entire vehicle was ripped apart in a minor accident
Thar looks huge ! However, despite its ‘hugeness’, no luggage space and a hassle to access the rear seat. Jimny, while diminutive, it has fairly good boot space and moderately usable back seats.
The Jimny is the only 4x4 in market with solid front axle and 4 wheel coilovers. It's a shame there are not other 4x4s in the market with a similar design.
Try again after removing rear sway bar of Gurkha/ or putting a thinner one - you’ll be surprised with the articulation.(It's a DIY 5 minute job).Gurkha has two sway bars - front and rear (extremely thick)that’s why limited articulation to control body roll. Others have only one sway bar (anti roll bar ) in front (and extremely thin in rear and some don’t have one!), older Gurkhas (BS3,BS4 Xplorer/Xtreme) also had thick front (thin rear) sway bar and much better articulation than BS6 Gurkha. But still Gurkha overall is less efficient in off-roading compared to other two due to heavy weight and less power to weight ratio. Needs an expert to drive. Jimmy is a legend ❤❤❤. Lots of love to jimny! *And Gurkha would not topple without rear sway bar as front takes care of that; rear sway bar helps with sharper steering and better control over turns*; for off-roading enthusiasts it’s a perfect and a must deletion or a thinner off-road sway bar.
Used to watch your channel..me too a Gurkha owner. But this is something else. Like always maruti is cheating their customers with poorly built sheet metal body vehicles...see jimny accident in kerala....also the self burning vehicles espresso and all are a real threat...for 18 lakh maruti jimny do not even withstand a minor collision..
@@deepeshm.pillai9303 jimny is great in technology and pure off-roading prowess, rather the best under 20 lacks- build quality is something Maruti will not focus on in Indian market unless government compels it to. And Jimny even in international versions isn’t safe - people use it only for off-roading - it’s not safe on highways. But it’s great for Himachal as speeds are never that high here.
@@deveshsharma_mountainshrink I used to drive one several years back in Sudan...I never felt it that great then, but now when youtubers say it's great I am a bit confused.. but what made me write this is something else..it's after seeing the not so major jimny vs bolero pickup accident at kerala..and how badly jimny ( just like any other maruti) was torn into a big pile of scrap..( passengers died) - whole roof and door was hanging on pickups carrier..and pickup had only minor scratches. Why anyone should spend 18 lakh for this paper box
In addition I want the current gen gurkha to bring back dana44 solid front axle like the gurkha xtreme, the g32 gearbox from traveller and map it up for producing similar torque output as the traveller's fmtech 2.6 i.e 120hp and 370nm
Prashant sir, i was waiting for this part II, excellent video. You have a really clear concept on what, how and when. Thar ,Gurkha and Jimny i have a better understanding now, love from Arunachal Pradesh.
These three cars will easily climb this terrain in two wheel drive also, since these are all rear wheel drive,you have to put three to four persons in the rear seat and drive in one motion. I will even drive maruti Alto in this terrain with ease. In hilly areas, this is common road.
Easy to say... What you need most in my oppinion is the courage to accept defeat or failure.. Critics having the ability and courage of accepting defeat and failure is also helpful by the way..
Boht Boht achi Information hai Bhai isme shyd kisi expert ne aj tak na batai ho. Gaddi essa performance kyn de Rahi hai or kya system hai, sahi se bataya hai, so goooooood! God bless you man!!!
Many people were commenting on the boxiness design of the jimny, they don't even have any knowledge of vehicle performance and what not, they are also mostly complaining about the big price tag but i feel they won't even be able to afford an alto even given the chance. Jimny is one of the best small suv you'll ever find in the indian market at the moment.
Hahah kya chutiya admi he mera pas new model scorpio he new model verna he and ha mera bike or purana car ka paisa se araam se jimny le sakta he but kyu lu tin ka dabba ?
Apki videos achi hain ..of information b gather ki jaa skti hai jo offorad krn chahte hai unke liye or dekhne balo ke liy bhi... Mai b hamirpur.. K rehne wala hu..😊 Khusi hoti hai ye dekh ke ki apne district ke koi person b youtube, paltform pr hain... Full supprt sir❤❤
But why not use rear diff lock in Gurkha even if there was an issue with 4x4? even at the starting point, couldn't just the rear diff lock be sufficient to prevent the tyre-spin?
It was not about what Gurkha could do with its tools. It was a demonstration of ARTICULATION from the factory, that's all. And BS6 Gurkha has very restricted ARTICULATION from the factory.
@@deveshsharma_mountainshrink I understand that. But with the MLD of Thar and BLD of Jimny, atleast a show of Gurkha's diff lock could have been fair too, I think..because even with their unrestricted articulation and MLD/BLD, they had to get out of the obstacle by engaging 4x4. Same 4x4 was engaged for Gurkha too, but it's diff lock was never given a chance to show it's capabilities, and if it could have come out with just the diff locks engaged without the 4x4.
@@aduityadarnal7259 that Gurkha is fucked up probably due to those heavy ass offset wheels with even heavier LT MT tyres. Had a hub issue so wasn't put through the obstacle.
I think they have engaged the front diff lock and turned the steering so it got broken. I've heard somewhere that when using front diff. lock one should keep the steering straight.
I have been driving these vehicles since past 40 years. Without doubt the Jimmy is far better for this kind of terrain. Major advantage is the weight factor. In Long distance driving, the thar is the best. Gurkha is best for taxi service. Really like your videos , very knowledgeable 🙏
Prashant G aapki Gurkha kaha hai... Usko MLD wale obstacle mein use karna chahiye tha...Moreover Gypsy ko involve nahin kiya is testing mein...Gypsy feels like 12th man sitting outside...😢
Thar shouldn't be called an offroader, like its ancestors. Thar lost its offroad legacy when redeaigned to catter urban snobbery, and pretend offroaders...thar is to show off, jimny is for offroading. Advantage, Offroad tracks cannot be expected wide, jimny's smaller size and less width gives advantage. In fact thar and gurkha are uselessly heavy, but its cabin space is poor, so eventually you are carrying useless metal parts burning lot of fuel... Only to ahow off. 😎
The first Thar's wheels and tyre combo isn't ideal for off roading. 16/17 inch rim on 30-32 inch tyre will give you good and thick sidewalls, which when air down when off roading you'll gain more traction. There's a saying "more rubber more traction". The Gurkha although smaller tyres it's got better wheels and tyre combo.
