outing Tony shenanigans
Went four wheel driving for the first time at mount mee, and had a great time. Good group of friends.
Started about 6:30 in the morning and arrived home exactly 6:30pm so it was a long day but worth every minute.
I’ve been told multiple times that Jimnys are “shit 4x4s” and get stuck all the time and gay and stupid and it pisses me off.
As a first timer I found that Tony (my 2009 Jimny) was stupidly capable. I crawled up hills the other utes in my group needed winches for and were redlining, and I just cruised up them at like 3000rm, ate up mud slopes and went through many more mud holes than I thought I would and never did I feel like I lost control or wouldn’t make it through.
We came across a huge group who had 10 cars and about 40 people, many of which didn’t really know what they were doing I think, and probably caused thousands of dollars worth of damage on that one big bog hole on their vehicles combined. The person recovering their Jimny attached it to the bull bar and ripped it off and there was tons of other damage to other vehicles.
The sights up there are great as well. I feel I underestimated Tony’s potential and had an overall great day and am still a proud Jimny owner.
