30-40 mpg with lift and tyres????.crikey must be running of super fuel our mates was awful on go go juice barely scraped 25mpg.

Absolutly blinding off road hit everything hard and fast and really struggle to get them buried

New transfer box makes a differance to the mpg and is the only reason I'm able to sensibly run large tires, with the new tranny box and those tires there is no difference to the standard gearing in high range and I don't see how lift would affect mpg, it's hardly any extra weight and doesn't alter gearing

It's surprising how well they stack up against a landrover offroad too, the only thing it lacks is a diff lock

 

A Jimny in 4x4 has exactly the same drive as a 90/110 with a locked centre diff - neither comes with axle locks.

 

I used to have one about 10 years ago (strictly speaking it was my ex-wife's) and although I never did much in the way of off-roading in it, I was very pleased with its capabilities when in Brittany once and having to race for an early morning ferry through deep snow.

 

I had a tow-bar fitted and towed from to time, but even an empty trailer makes quite a difference; you get that wading through treacle feeling. It didn't much like the lorry ruts on the motorway either.

Here's my old zuke! I paid £150 5 years ago and she is still going stronge :001_smile:

 

the sj was the first vehicle that i really liked and wanted. Sadly i have never been in a position to get one. But after looking at yours and the jimny, i might just have to find a way of getting one. Even if it will be used as a van.:001_smile:

Here's my Suzuki. It's no gnarly off-roader, but all terrain tyres on it gets me in and out of the woods OK.

 

And of course it comes in handy for any hairdressing jobs in the side! :D
