| Post subject: | Jimny (gen 4) Trailer question |
Hi Looking for some advise here. I am slowly building a Jimny for overlanding trips. Using a trailer (5x3) for extra fuel and water worked really well on my recent trip with a Grand Vitara. Knowing you can only tow 350kg (trying to stay under that) 1- would you guys keep the cage and canvas? removing would save weight at the cost of security at overnight motel stops 2- would anyone know a Sydney (Hornsby) place that would be able to install bakes on my trailer? Not to carry more weight purely for safety and better handeling all the places I contacted either do only BIG caravans or just never come back to me Thanks for help! Picture with the trailer in question for reference |

For the cage and canvas, I'd lean toward keeping them for security, especially since you’re stopping at motels. Peace of mind is worth a few extra kilos. As for trailer brakes, you might want to check out https://www.pedders.com.au/ in Hornsby. They offer a range of services, including brake installations, and could assist with your trailer needs. I found them when I was in Argentina, my guide from https://gowithguide.com/argentina recommend me that one. Good luck with the build, sounds like a fun setup! |

I'd definitely keep them, it's not that heavy but probably well worth taking the trailer over a weigh bridge just to know exactly what it actually weighs rather then going off the plate. Most trailer places here just stamp all 6x4 and under at 200kg, I even saw a motorcycle trailer stamped at that and it was only a 3x4 at most. That will give you a proper idea how much your actually towing. |
