"It was worth what I had paid for it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing that I haven't caused.

I don't really like the push button 4 wheel drive, but I can live with it.

General comments?

It takes the dirt and mud trails quite nicely.

It handles the road really good.

Really good on gas while still having the power I need.

I have taken this truck out 4 wheeling quite a bit and am very surprised on how it has held up after some of the abuse that I had put it through out there on the trails and the rocks. It is still stock, I haven't done any modifications to it. I had to replace the alternator because it got filled with mud it was a little expensive for a new one, but I replaced it and down the road I went. It is a very good truck and it has taken me many places from Everett, WA to Placerville, CA with out no problems. Being in the Navy I have a lot of road to travel to go home and back to the ship, it hasn't let me down. I would like to get another Jimmy when I retire this one.

I've just purchased a gmc jimmy '96 and had to get use to the soft feel it has compared to my '91 trooper.

It has 153,000 and I had to replace the lower ball joints.

I am pleased to hear some good news on this vehicle!

I think i'll switch out the shocks for some stiffer excellent quality shocks in order to get that stiffer ride!

I bought a Jimmy 1996 model after 59000Kms completed in perfect condition. Only right side mirror broken.

Will you please advise the price of the mirror?

I bought a 1996 GMC Jimmy SLS 2DR 4WD through the Mannheim Auction!

Had all green light 25,000 miles, passed inspection, just needed front end-alignment.

Runs fine so far!

My only problems so far are vanity things like:

1. It's hard replacing my front and rear speaker!

A. Crappy plastic, they should have made a pop-out speaker panel so you could just pull them out and put the new ones in! The wiring is nice though (Thick Wires)!
