Hey guys I'm wanting to hear any info on anyone with this size on their jimny with standard gearing and possibly a 2 inch lift only, clearance issues and gearing etc, also what brand your running???

[Sookie]

I have 235/75s on my jimny and a 2inch lift and have given it a trim
Myn is auto and gearing is ok but not ideal,

[Gwagensteve]

I reckon 235s on stock gearing would be terrible on a manual.

I'd be super worried about cooking the auto off road with a tyre that size (and the traction it brings)

I reckon stock gearing is horrid.

[shep]

It depends on the model of jimny. New ones have different gearing to early ones.

My m13 non vvt was horrible with stock gearing and stock tyres. Was better when I went to a 215/75r15 tire. Anything over 215's would need gearing dressed.

There are gearing differences between models, my 2013 jimny with 30x9.5 tyres still pulled 5th gear when towing a trailer and lowrange was low enough for most wheeling, certainly significantly better then a early jimny or sierra.
Gearing is always better however in my opinion it isn't as critical as with earlier models.

My G series was alright onroad with 235s and stock gearings.

Offroad with stock low range gearing and is aweful too. Their a beach car, I wouldn't buy one again.

Stock gearing sux. 20% is great around town and great off road. Highway driving sux though - 4000rpm at 100kmph.

Josh you wouldn't buy another jimny or just the G series ?

[31zook]

G series are the easiest to work on (stick transfer/1.6 bolts in/SJ swap is easy/no ABS or airbags).

Ummm, yeah hard to say, its an awesome car now, it just has so many things to fix up before its worth taking offroad.

But like a sierra, if the offroad market for them opens up (unlikely due to yanks not getting them) they won't be such an uphill battle to work with.

ppffff thats how non-vvts jimnys roll standard

[shep]

Haha mine is about 4100rpm @ 100kph. I mostly cruise at 4500-4600rpm, drove 700km like that on sat. I dunno what the issue is.
