I’m actually not that keen on the design of Jimny from the rear (shock, horror!). The stock lights are a bit bland design wise and I noticed @JimnyStyle posted a picture of their new LED tail lights on Instagram. I thought these would add a nice touch. I’m not affiliated to Jimny Style (nor any…

Sleeping in the Suzuki Jimny
I thought I’d write a separate guide for car camping in the Jimny. It’s something a lot of people are interested in and I can understand why. It’s super convenient and a ton of fun.

Smoke Side Markers
Part of the small changes to the Jimny build, here’s a super quick and cheap mod that looks quite nice. Given it’s the black SZ5 we have (we really wanted the Jungle Green 🥺) the plan is to keep it a stealthy looking as possible. Part of the changes will be the lights and for…

Jimny Chill Out Set Up
Ever since ordering the roof tent we decided that the interior of the Jimny could make an excellent lounge space to kick back and chill on camping and overlanding trips. The idea is to keep things as minimalistic as possible while offering good comfort and quick set up times. The first stage was making a…

Front Headrests as a Backrest
With the success of the rear headrests mount project I decided to do the same for the front of the Jimny. This time the mount wouldn’t be permanent, although I do have plans to make it multifunctional. The first project was quite simple and effective so I followed the same design and went ahead and…
