I must say that is quite a vast improvement over the old Jimny..

I had to steer like a demon to get my Jimny through that obstacle.

It is completely counterintuitive. You have to will yourself not to speed. And suddenly it keeps going [emoji16]

Nice little video

Jimny vs Prado

No tires were deflated for this video

The guy also seemingly doesn’t know how TC works

Note how the spotter never said a word. Only hand signals. Propper spotting done. Well done!!

Thanks Mike.... that would be me.

SAXJ and I have been spotting for each other since we first bought our own 4x4's.

😂😂😂

I often see (and laugh quietly to myself) when the spotter yells at the driver to turn left or right 😂😂.

Sorry for derailing the thread

After seeing the new jimnys in action the last two weekends I can honestly say the Suzuki has a winner on their hands.
Really an impressive package even in stock form.

At about 18sec into the video, what happens at the passenger front tyre?

Looks like a spark
Could this be sarcasm?

No Idea... maybe a video compression error in the interlacing

A spotter who runs backwards or shouts instructions at you on technical sections is not a spotter...
Wooky did it right in the video.
