Jimny lane departure system

Hi

My jimny is the full option version in my country, but unfortunately the dealer here doesn't provide the actual full option vehicle, my jimny misses the lane assist feature

I have 2 questions

Is the system beneficial, and is it possible install it in a vehicle that doesn't have it

Question over towing

I am in the process of getting a jimny 5 door, and I am wondering if it would be possible to add a motorcycle tow bar for my honda cl500 (191 kg) I've read an array of reviews and statements, some are yes, some are no. I'd like a straightforward answer. I am going to use it for light overlanding feats around central america. (based in mexico)

Door lock replacement

So this morning I was unlucky enough to have my jimny broken into and was actually just wondering if anyone has blanked off their passenger side lock and replaced the driver side with something more robust that cant be broken with a flathead screwdriver, I heard some people have done those circular keys and want to know how safe they are?

Most compact Jimny variant?

Yo folks, I’ve been looking for a potential new car.

I really like the look of the newer Jimnys, mostly due to their compact size. Matter of fact, compact size and fuel efficiency is pretty much what I care about.

Which of the Jimny variants is the most compact? I would assume the newest model, but I’m not too sure.

Since my budget is not too high however, I don’t think that’s really an option.

What’s your favorite roof tent?

We recently went camping in Baja and got a roof tent second hand for the trip. It was awesome and spacious; loved it! Only thing is, it seemed a little too big for the Jimny 💔. It made her very wobbly. We are aware and will eventually upgrade her tires. Any body have a tent rec they’ve seen or used on their Jimny?

Trying to diagnose a vibration

2021 Jimny, auto. I have a vibration noise that's getting worse. Trying to narrow it down before taking it in. I think it's more prominent starting from cold, and between 2-3k rpm, taking off from stand still. I think it sounds 'air' related (exhaust/intake), as in its not rotational or clunking high pitched. Nearly sounded like the front licence plate bolts were loose and the air running past was vibrating it really fast if that makes sense. I have a torqit exhaust, not sure if there's components in the cat converter that could fail and vibrate?

Whilst checking in the engine bay if anything was loose or rattling by hand, I noticed this heat shielding has a lot of play, probably by design. I just tap on it with my hand and it moves all over the place, it has like steel wire mesh where the bolts/washers hold on.

Can someone check on their car if their one has a bit of movement please?

Or if there's any other go to spots i could inspect. Cheers

Registering in WV?

I really want to import an old Jimny, but I'm worried about being able to register the vehicle once I get it here. I saw that minitrucks were specifically called out in WV as Special Purpose Vehicles and would be restricted in use. Would a Jimny fall under the same category or can it be registered as a regular car?

Roofrack Spotlights JB43

I have a JB43, and my question is this. If I want to mount spotlights on the front & rear of my roofrack, where exactly do I run the power cable to get under the bonnet to the battery?

Is £30k for a Jimny a bit silly?

Looking for an auto Jimny in UK and this seems to be the going price which I’m having a hard time justifying.

What engine would you like to see in the next Jimny?

It's no secret that Jimny's engine is underpowered AF and doing a turbocharger/supercharger mods are at your own risk.

So it got me thinking about what we would like Suzuki to do for their next iteration.

For myself to keep it simple. Basically put the 1.4L Petrol Boosterjet engine they already use in the Vitara. I would also love a Diesel option but probably a new design from what they've done in the past.

Fluids

I have a 98’ JA22w (automatic).

Does anyone know what kind of fluids I need for the differential & transfer case? I’d like to change everything out for peace of mind. I’ve managed to find everything else except these two, also, any tips/pointers on changing the fluids out feel free to let me know. Thank you!
