dogmad riley 1,343 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 All right everyone. Just want your views on the suzuki jimny as a lamping wagon, have heard good things about them but not as lamping wagons do any of you lads use them. If so do you use the hardtop or soft top on your lamping escapes? Reason I ask is I am looking for a good lamping wagon. I know the defender is the best choice but too expensive. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

silentshot1 206 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Use my soft top for lamping with the Air gun and can't fault it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattybugeye 884 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I had a 03 plate jimny was not bad once I'd lifted it and got mud tyres fitted Used to go lamping most nights in it as a everyday car not great bit small and not great on fuel even tho only 1.3 Only reason I sold it is because our lass crashed in to a parked car in snow fcuk knows how bit she did then she didn't want to drive it anymore that and a new member in family needed something bigger but to be honest a great little jeep for short time we owned Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salop sniper 32 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I have one and it's completely standard but goes everywhere, personally the fuel is fine. I've got a 12v fag lighter extension thing with 4ports which is handy to power two lightforces mobile charger and a rear white work light. I drop the rear seats and have made a board for the rear like a shelf. it gives me a flat surface that I put my shooting kit on plus a big plastic box/ meat tray for my quarry. My lamp man drives and lamps, I sit in the passenger seat and shoot from there but also lamp so that we cover both sides of the vehicle, first and second gear on tick over gives a great crawl speed around the stubbles !

charlie caller 3,654 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 And with the Jimny engine quiet as a sewing machine you wont spook any foxes/bunnies either, I would not be without mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stubby 175 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I always found the jimny too small width wise, so have the vitara but also a freelander, as the rear back half comes off, or the sun roofs can be taken out 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
