Best Ladder for Suzuki Jimny

Рет қаралды 13,023

Initially I was not planning on fitting a rear ladder to the Jimny as I was able to reach all areas of the roof rack by standing on the tyres. The ladder does have a few advantages such as making it easier to get on top of the roof rack and my wife is much shorter than I am and makes it easier for her to reach things on the roof. Aside from the functionality of the ladder, it also makes the Jimny look like a slightly larger off-roader.
I do like the way that the Front Runner ladder mounts to the vehicle and I prefer it over a ladder that only mounts to the top and bottom of the door frame.
Massive thanks to my brother who lives in Hong Kong for this Christmas present. The ladder was purchased from West Supply in Auckland. If you need and Camping or 4x4 gear take a look at their website.

Brilliant, thank you very much! That's exactly the content I was looking for. Thanks for the demo :)

I’m glad you liked it and found it hopeful. Should have a different ladder arriving for the 5 door jimny in 2 months (New Zealand is years away from anything). I’ll get a video of the new one out once it arrives.

Thank you very much for the nice comment. I try to break the steps down and make them easy to understand.

Cheers for the video mate - just installed onto my jimny - fit comfortably with my 225/75 tyres

Hey Aidan. Awesome to hear. Glad you liked the video. I’m planning on getting 215s on the stock rim so that’s good news.

Good stuff. Spare wheel might be limited to stock though. Also surprised it only weighs 4kg.

@jonnosjimny Жыл бұрын

Yeah. As soon as you go much bigger, you might be better off with the hinge mounted fold out steps. I was also quite surprised but when I picked it up I could feel it was pretty light. Might be slightly over 4kg. Maybe 4.5kg.

Thanks for the video! Was wondering what will the ride height of the Jimny be, after adding the roof rack?

@jonnosjimny Жыл бұрын

Hi. With the ARB roof rack it is 1.76 m.

So, does it make some “iron noises” ? Do you recommend it? Keep it real, man. Best from Brasil.

@jonnosjimny Жыл бұрын

Hi Bruno. The front runner ladder fits really well and there’s no rattling sounds from it at all. There have been a few earlier comments that people have installed the ladder with much bigger tyres than mine so that’s also possible.

Are you going to upgrade the tyres? I've got General Grabbers and they're fantastic!

@jonnosjimny Жыл бұрын

Hey Matt. Definitely keen on new tires. I was thinking about the BFG AT 215/75/R15s. But I use the car as my daily so I’m happy to run the stock tires through and then when I need to replace I’ll get some. Do you think this ladder will fit with that on the spare?

@@jonnosjimny yeah I run AT3 215/75/R15 and the Frontrunner ladder doesn’t cause any issues 👍🏻. In SA at least many people say the BFG’s are a bit slippy in the wet?

Thanks for the video. Wonder if they would make it to India (from where I am watching)...Jimny has just launched a 5 door here at the Auto Expo and the bookings have opened....Saving your link for future reference. Thanks again.

@jonnosjimny Жыл бұрын

Hi Kahanis. I’m glad you found the video helpful. The ladder comes in small box so I’m sure you would be able to order one online from Aus or South Africa. It should fit the 5 door and 3 door but I can’t be 100% sure.

@@KahanisGoldenBytes it is also costs a bit extra to import Jim y Style products to NZ. But they do have good service and have credited me for a defective product. So I’ll order rom them again. Have you ordered the 5 door?
