The SJ10 Jimny just kicked some ass! The JA71 couldn’t keep up due to the street tires, but it did fairly well nonetheless... But that SJ10... Oh my... It did so damn well, crawling up or down, it did not matter, nothing stopped it! Just a glorious old thing! I even jumped it and it took like a champ! My back on the other end...

Nothing happened... it went through all the mud there, it climbed up everything but one road that was really too steep for it (last 2m were at 70+ %) and all went well... I’m still in shock lol. I did not expect it to drive through where I went...

That's why we called them Stockmen. They were short, rough and walked oddly.

Love these little things, the Jimny range is probably my favorite series of off-roaders. They’re just plucky little things!

The JA71 is the kei version right?

I do know the JA5 1 = Superzuke. I was amazed how much more capable than a Jeep they are off road.  If you get stuck in a Jeep, call your buddy with a Suzuki Samurai.

Man I love those older Suzukis. The majority of 4x4 guys here in BC drive Jeeps and Toyotas, old and new, but there’s a smaller and committed group of people who swear by the Suzukis.

They are both kei, both 550cc version... the 2-stroke only has like 25hp, while the turbo one as over 50hp...

Ah OK, we only got the JA series in Canada, where they were sold with a 1.3l 4 with 60ish HP. I was pretty surprised there was a kei version, since they weren’t winning any drag races with the 1.3l . But 50HP is probably more than adequate - they’re very light vehicles and the kei motor would be a lot lighter that the 4-cylinder.

I desperately want a Jimny, do you have any currently? Whether or not, ca n I possibly contact you about it outside of Kinja for some information ? I always assumed there was a PM system before I looked haha. Thanks!!

haha feel free to contact me flavien dot vidal at gmail dot com. The 550cc Turbo Jimny on the picture is for sale at $49 00, shipping to your closer Ro-Ro port included. The old SJ10 is already sold sadly, it would have been $8700 landed. I plan to get more of course :)
