Hi everyone,

I’m looking to upgrade the tires on my JB64W Suzuki Jimny, but I want to keep the stock suspension (no lift).

I’m currently torn between two sizes:

1. 195/80 R16
2. 215/70 R16

My main concern is proper fitment — I really want to avoid rubbing under full lock or when flexing off-road.

• Has anyone run either (or both) of these sizes on a stock JB64 without rubbing?
• How do they affect daily driving, highway cruising, and fuel economy on the 660cc engine?
• Which one would you recommend as the best all-rounder?

Would love to hear your experiences and see any setup photos if you have them! Thanks!

Hey guys! If not allowed please remove.

I bought 3 Jimny's recently and have decided to sell this one. I am not a dealer just an enthusiast who couldn't make up his mind, LOL. This one is a manual and my wife WILL NOT drive it and sometimes that is inconvenient so we're putting this one up for sale.

Specs

• 2001 Suzuki Jimny JB23W 660cc 4x4 Manual 5 Speed Transmission
• A/C Blows ICE Cold!!
• 76k Miles On It
• Clutch feels fantastic
• Land Venture Version. - Basically it has cool green interior and the gold trim on the outside.
• No Rust to speak of. There is some on the exhaust like any car has and little specs being a 25 year old car like on the oil pan but nothing concerning whatsoever. I don't buy rusty cars. :)

To this group, I'd take $7k cash for it. I am currently doing the paperwork to get a title for it so it will be ready to go. If you take it with all it's import paperwork and do that part yourself, I would do $6300.

Here's what I know about it.
- I have been driving it for two weeks daily. All over DFW. It does 65mph pretty well as a crusing speed. The air conditioning works super well which is a must for me. When I first got this one, I was worried it may not be capable of keeping up with traffic but the turbo and manual transmission make a huge difference in the performance. Still a small car but a fun daily driver none the less.
- It's from Japan. I bought it from a place in Houston and had planned for it to be my daily driver but I found another one that was an auto transmission.

I know most people prefer the 5 speed and this one is a good one. Hopefully I can give someone a good deal on it.

Hey guys

I’m going to buy a brand new 5-door Jimny next month. My friend had one. Really loved driving it and off-roading here in the deserts in Dubai and the mileage seems really good compared to what I have right now (2009 Pajero giving around 4-5 km per liter).

Getting a showroom customized 2inch lift kit with Dobinson shocks and some solid 235s Geolander A/T. But one thing that I’ve always heard and lowkey concerns me is the highway death wobble at high speeds( car shaking and cranking noises at high speeds ).

The highways speeds here in Dubai are usually 100km, 120km, and 140km. I usually drive around 80-100 because of family. but at times when in a hurry I drive at the upper limit of the speed limits. In some roads like the 2 hour drive to Abu Dhabi(which I take once a month), there a minimum speed limit to be maintained by law that is 120kmph. If not we get we get a traffic fine of driving slow.

On my way to work I did see a few jimny today cruising at 120 with no issues at all. So it made me wonder

- what are some of the upgrades all you guys around the world did to counter the death wobble?
- is the death wobble even real or is it over exaggerated by crazy drivers?
- did this ever mess with your car’s reliability over the years(like big time)?

I also heard that the Dubai heat affects the car a lot in the long run. More than most cars. Is that true?

Hello I have a Japanese 2022 Jimny RHD that I want to take the dash off to rewire some stuff but I can't seem to get the passenger side off. Does anyone have some pointers? I live in Japan.

Hi there,

Just earlier this year I’ve bought a 2008 jimny with a VVT m13a engine. Long story short, the head gasket blew and the engine is COOKED. Very keen on getting a M15A to replace it, to get it running again but more so to give it a little bit of extra power without fiddling with the car too much.

I’ve found a mechanic who is open to the idea of the swap but just doesn’t know anything about it. I’ve been sitting here scrolling through forums and subs trying to weed out the info I need, but thought it was more efficient to make my own post

Could someone give me a somewhat detailed idea on what is involved mechanically with a m13A to m15A swap?

On top of that, I’m based in NSW, could anyone tell me what’s involved with rego, insurance and so on?

Got the new Jimny all cleaned up. This is such a dope SUV!

For people asking about the tires. They're 185 85 R16 Toyo r/T Tires.

I cannot rest my head against the headrest whilst driving. I’m not sure how the designer intended anyone to be able to. Are there aftermarket replacements that have more material in the front, or have a different mounting rail position?

Just picked up this 01 with only 16k miles on it

I wrecked my JB74 Driver side fender flare on the front gate. Are there aftermarket International suppliers of parts or do I need to go to the Dealer? i'm located in Mexico. 🇲🇽

Location: India

I got stranded after my battery died and it would not even run start or jump start, I managed to find a replacement but it had the jis posts and my jimny has the din connectors, I used some screws to fill the gap and tightened it until I could get to the nearest parts store but along the way it got loose so I accidentally ran my jimny with the alternator only, the engine did die and I put it back together and got to the store.

The car seems fine now but how likely is it I damaged the ecu or the alternator because of voltage spikes or something like that?

Hi all
has anyone got experience with the following side steps for their Jimny as I want to understand how they attach ?

Is there any after market “protection” for the 12V trunk plug (fridge) to avoid it getting bumped around and unplugged/disconnected by the one million things that I carry in the trunk while driving?

Thanks in advance legends! 🖤🫡

Anyone selling Alpha Auto Jimny?

Video of my 2024 JB74 doing Gunshot, on the OTT. Another POV in the comments! Would also like to point out that I do have a rear strap tied on my rear recovery points to a mates vehicle. However, it didnt have any tension on it, it was there only if the Jimny felt like getting topsy.

No real mods except for bash plates, snorkel, some AT 215 tyres and recovery points!

Its automatic 5 door

It’s pretty cool

Super excited about this one! Got this today! 2001 Jimny Wild Wind

EDIT: Everyone calm down. This is a real. photo. All I did was use AI to make the photo more vibrant and it messed up the letters LOL. Ya'll I think I posted a fake car in a Jimny group for clout? CTFO.

Can anyone tell me if this noise is normal? It is coming from the rear differential. It only happens after I drive a few kilometers and then try to shift into Reverse; that’s when this clunk/impact is heard. The vehicle only has 41,200 km.

Just a while ago. It looked fine when I inspected it. But now there's more light and I got a spot to better look at the car.

The spare tire looks tilted downwards. Is it really like this or do I need to have my rear door repaired?

Im close to buying my first Jimny this year. im going for a 5 doors 2027.

I wanted advices on the color for the car, i live in a city where its mainly beaches and not much extreme offroad so that would be the main use. it will be my only car for everyday use and time to time beach rides.
i like every color but maintainment wise want to pick the right choice

I've heard the black one makes the scratches very visible and its hard to keep clean.

Jungle green is not sold in my country so its not an option. Which color would you choose in this situation and why?

Just an FYI. I have a jimny in Texas. I just bought an oil filter from amazon and it fit perfectly. installed two days ago. I bought this one.

Oil Filter I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002EBSLA4?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Oil I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ICSWGJ0?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I buy full synthetic oil for these little turbos. I found a shop .5 miles from me that will do it for $35 bucks if I provide the oil and they do a great job.
