Custom Front Runner Roof Tent Rainfly

Custom Rainfly on Front Runner Roof Tent

Posted on May 17, 2020May 30, 2020

The awning extension project was fun to do and I’ve been wanting to attempt something more challenging. The rainfly on the Front Runner roof tent seemed like a good contender for a new DIY challenge. The crash course last year on how to use a sewing machine from my mother and sewing a triangle awning…

Old Man Emu New Jimny 40mm Lift Kit

Old Man Emu Lift Kit

Posted on March 29, 2020October 12, 2020

After lot of research and chatting to other Jimny owners on Instagram I chose the Old Man Emu 40mm lift, with 10mm spring spacers as I generally have the text and awning on 24/7 due to lack of storage. My goal was to stiffen the ride and reduce the head wobble that the stock suspension…

Modifying the Suzuki Classic Grille

Modified Suzuki Classic Grille

Posted on March 23, 2020March 29, 2020

Another victim of the little accident when driving into a wall was the front grille. As with the front bumper it was a great opportunity to make some changes and end up with something better than before. Design is always a matter of opinion but ever since seeing the Outclass Japan front grille on Sunset…

Front Bumper Upgrade - High Bridge 1st

Front Bumper Upgrade

Posted on March 16, 2020November 16, 2020

After a small accident in a supermarket car park at the end of 2019 we had a superb excuse to upgrade the front bumper to something more meaty. Decisions, decisions ? Many people on instagram said to go for a metal bumper. I can totally see the attraction as there’s some aggressive looking Jimny beasts…

Jimny Tailgate Molle Storage

Posted on March 12, 2020January 1, 2021

NOW AVAILABLE TO BUY In preparation for more camping this year (if we’re allowed out lol) I was thinking about improvements to the camping set up. One problem area that jumps out is the storage of small items and other camping kit. The smaller, easy to misplace items that need a dedicated home and to…

Upgrading the Jimny Tail Lights

Posted on November 8, 2019April 24, 2020

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…

Custom Awning Extension

Posted on August 19, 2019November 16, 2019

This project was out of my comfort zone but ended up being one of my favourites yet. Who would have thought a sewing machine could be fun ha! The idea was to create a detachable extension that runs along the side of the 1.4m Darche Eclipse Awning, then attached to the side of the Front…

Quick Release Ladder Upgrade

A cheap quick release DIY telescopic roof tent ladder

Posted on August 15, 2019January 1, 2021

THIS IS AN UPDATE TO THE ORIGINAL ARTCLE: If you buy one of the lower priced roof tents they will generally come with an aluminium sliding ladder. You drill holes into the ladder to set the height of the locking pins that sets it to the height to your vehicle. As you can see below,…

Smoke Side Markers

Posted on July 29, 2019April 24, 2020

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…
