Highway tyres 😢

He can get it out without help, as a middle eastern living around the empty quarter just drop the tire pressure to 10 or even 8 in this situation and make sure you have it in 4L with traction control on to allow allgrip to engage and it will get out on its on, great job by you btw

Is the gearbox always that clunky? Yes

What a stand up bloke!!

The amount of videos I’ve had to watch of people who have no idea how to drive and this guy is the first one that knows what he’s doing. “We want to be gentle on the throttle and spin the wheels as minimally as possible” perfect!

Suzxuki off road. I done all this in a 1986 Sierra and 2009 Jimny both purchased new and 38 years of daily drivers as well... Gun Shot, Cockatoo Creek, Palm Creek (the Cape Telegraph Track) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKSkoIholLJjbpI&ab_channel=4WD24-7

You appear to be the type of person, I would want to meet in such circumstances, rather than some Wofl Creek MOFO. I have been 1986 Sierra and in 2009 new Jimny. Reverse has been like that in mine since new (built in Indonesia). To engage reverse you usually (almost every time with mine) have to budge it forward a few inches and quickly select reverse. I have smoked clutches and burned them BUT I ALWAYS GOT HOME. Suzuki is unlkike any other 4wd and although you said everything right, knowing Suzuki, I would have gone ahead with my trip and paid you a second $500 to town me out a second time. (Suzuki always half price because of size). And yes, many times I have waited for someone to come along to help me "man handle" the Suzuki side to side on the track, easily two person lift on one side at a time. 1986 to 2024 so far everyday a Sierra or Jimny, for a year or twon I have a Jeep Turbo Diesel around 2002, (kept the sierra every day driver wife had Jeep daily driver) and we did Australia in a 30 secdond tent on the roof (Old Telegraph Track and all). My perfect vgehile would be 70 series workmate, but as comfortable and feeling safe as that would be, I couldnt justify the $90k compred to $38k for a Jimny.

My lc100 all 4 doors not working in the heat condition and specifically in the day time only Do i need replace all 4 doors lock actuators or only driver door replacement is enough?

how much for a recovery

Problem with Jimnys on sand is that in 4H you won ´t be able to disconnect traction control after 30 km/h….I wonder if it is better to drive in Low Range all the time.

One thought: before putting the door cover back on, briefly attaching the door switches and confirm the actuator is working. Then put the door cover back on.

Remember to get the car deeply washed under the body asap.

My jimny’s front two tyres went down in a slush in Sambhar salt lake. Actually it was a 3km long 10ft wide canal and got filled over the years. It looked completely flat so I tried to drive over it. Had to call a tractor to the rescue.

Nicely done and really good tips given to rescuee. Overall, a great job done 🎉👏

Nice job mate! Given me some ideas now.

It's really dumb to not pull the rings down.

Wanna sell the Sophia? I'm looking for one!

is that at north head?

😅 can't drive a manual, but soft deep sand is hard

Thanks, Jesus!

Thats awesome 👌🏿

Thanks for the excellent video!

6:02 you didn’t remove the second clip why did you cut the video ? No way did you break it ! 😂

Tip for young players: NEVER EVER go 4WDing on your own!! EVER. Got it?

I will add that the white cable holder is a bear to get off easily, also I had two separate types of shafts for my motors, one was d shaped and another had a brass bushing on the shaft. Easy job once you do one. Thanks for sharing this video.

I got the hancock dynapro tires on my jimny. Theyre good and cheap.

❤

Those kids should have done a 4WD course before they did any trips. I'm guessing they were using 4H when they kept getting stuck. 4H doesn't have brake traction control, but defaults to stability control (ESC) which just takes power away when you need it the most, so not suitable for soft ground. You can turn ESC off in high range but it will re-engage automatically at 30km/h. You can pull the fuse for the ESC system, but that disables everything - traction control, ESC, ABS etc. So, maybe they were strapping the ring out of it and not understanding how the various systems work on that vehicle, hence the almost unheard of clutch damage. I think they probably learnt more by following you out than anything else. Jimny is a bit stiff and clunky going into reverse, but it should not "feel like a bucket of bolts".

Very cool work, thank you for including so much of Juan in this video. Off to go take my cardboard out of the recycling bin and make a stencil for my 80. Cheers

DO you do this as a hobby or is there a fee ?

First put a set of KO2's on it !

Everyone does things a bit different, I get it, I’m not an expert, but it was strange to see a lift kit, fancy bull bar, all the bells and whistles, but then highway tires. You would think all terrain tires would be the first add on. Having driven my SJ413 samurai for close on 17 years of its 30 year life, I’ve learned that one should first get the basics right, add minimal items for off-road, like all terrain tires, learn how to handle the car, before adding all the fancy extras you see everyone else immediately adding when buying their new Jimny. After a short time, you’ll know what you need and it will be far less then you first thought. Handled correctly, a standard Jimny will get you most places. Also to note, loose sand like that, you need to be well under 1 bar, around 10PSI. Makes a big difference. Interesting video, thanks.

Nice recorvery. God bless. Has anyone said to you... "Jesus to the rescue?" 😁 not trying to be cheeky. Keep up the good work.

Well considered layout and good video. Thanks for sharing.

Not many people would even take their 4wds on a salt flat to rescue anyone , wow legends 👍

Jimny is a adorable car. I got mine 6 month ago and still can’t get enough of it. Tyre pressure and type is important. My tyre choice was BFG AT and it never disappoints me. I usually drive mud and mountains of Aegean and Mediterranean coasts

A Couple of thing to try next time....leave the max trax home, air down to almost flat tire as in 5lbs psi and pull at an angle with the front tires turned. What you want to do is get out on new untracked soil and out of the ruts

Good on you guys for helping him out: he's my nephew - thank you.

Looks like a great conversion. Very well done.

Great work mate, glad you secured the batteries down unlike the four ton trolley jack 😂 love the Bristolian/aus accent ❤

looks good, but for battery longevity would not have a compressor next to the Lithium, they get pretty hot

Thank you for helping my son and doing what you do. You guys are awesome.

Legends 💯

Fantastic setup up how good are the fridge going

As a Jimny owner and a 4x4 newbie when I got mine 2-3 years ago now, I used to ride the clutch a tad bit more but in fact you rarely need to do that if at all especially in 4L, so to any new MT Jimny drives out there, try not to ride the clutch just gently let go and you'll be fine :)

Unfortunately the gearbox does normally feel like that, sounds like a 1950's non synchro Hillman. I've done 2000km and still it can take 1/2 a dozen tries to get it in reverse. But I can put up with all of this knowing just how well they go off road.

jimnys are a bit of a joke, definitely don't take them touring

in a jimny you need to drop tyre pressures down to 10 PSI to work in soft sand , they are such a light car that the tyres don't bag until around 10 PSI , Im speaking from experience as i have one and i have bogged one !!!

Gorgeous spot to get stuck! Couldn’t stop watching!

What a peanut driver of the hilux
