Update after 3rd service and some extra fittings
The third service went uneventful with mandatory Oil change,AC filter replacement and general body check.
Meanwhile I had done few mods to Jimny
1.Sound damping with 1.2inch sheets.
I had all four doors and the floor soundproofed, hoping it would reduce drive shaft vibrations in low gears, but I didn’t notice much of a difference. The only noticeable benefit so far is improved sound quality from the speakers. I’m now planning to add sound damping to the bonnet and some areas of the engine bay, hoping it will make a more noticeable difference.However I will not recommend it.
2.Tire upgrade to 215/75R15.
I decided to go a different route and upgraded to Apollo HT 2 tires, primarily to improve braking performance, and it seems the upgrade was worth it. However, I’ve noticed that the ride has become a bit stiffer compared to the stock tires. It appears that the best ride quality in the Jimny might be with the original tires. Additionally, the tire upgrade has caused a slight drop in fuel efficiency, by about 1 to 1.5 km/l.
3.Added a 70 mai rearview dash cam.
I purchased it from Amazon for 16K, and it records both the front and rear views simultaneously. The video quality is generally good. The screen can display both front and rear video feeds at the same time, and it can also be used as a regular rearview mirror when switched off. I think it’s a great addition to the car. It also comes with a few predefined voice commands, which are very convenient to use while driving.

Kindly update the ride and stability difference if any one has done the above said mods.Thanks in advance.
Happy motoring.
