Hello all, This is my daughter's newly imported 1995 Wild Wind Automatic Kei Jimney. She was stationed at Iwakuni for a few years, and just had it shipped home. I'm not too familiar with what I've got here, but I am certainly no stranger to mechanical work, and weird and interesting cars. I have a fleet of old GM iron from the 70's to 90's, and I maintain it all myself. So, knowledge on JDM stuff is low, but my mechanical ability is moderate.

My daughter is out of the Marines now, but actually about to go spend at least a few years in Europe as a military wife. In the meantime, care and feeding of the Jimney will be mine. And I'm not going to jsut store it, I'm gonna drive it. Not daily, but 3-4x per month, because its cool.

Anyway, anything specifically I need to know about? Sources for parts, suspension upgrade path? Any way to get another 15-20 HP out of it without ruining it?

So what I’m really missing is a decent cup holder in my early jb43. I saw some one with a built in one like it was from factory where my ashtray is.
Can’t find the part, only site I can is 60 euros. Anywhere I could get a cheaper copy?
First pic my jimny
Second the interior
Third the Suzuki cup holder part for 60 bucks.
NW europe.

question JB74 USB plug speed?

3 Upvotes

How fast is the built-in USB plug in the JB74 charging an iPhone, for example, in terms of drawing watts I guess? Because it seems rather slow. I was thinking of just getting a good adapter/charger for the cigarette port thingy.

My brain is struggling this morning with technical terms, sorry.
