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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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 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 rear backrest…

Making a collapsible table for the Jimny Camper from an Aldi acacia wood chopping board. This was a fun project. Ever since ordering the roof top tent (if it ever arrives) I decided to try and do something cool with the interior space of the Jimny. As you’re able to set the entire space flat…

This was one of those jobs where you regret starting it an hour in then really starting regretting when you’ve got one side done. What a ball ache. Anyhow, what you’ll need for this utter shit show of a job is: The Vinyl Wrap. You can choose all sorts of different looks, shop around if…

To drop the seats flat to the floor in the new Jimny you need to remove the head restraints. I noticed people were using the headrests to fill the awkward dips in the front seat when they’re fully reclined. It’s ok but a bit clunky for my liking. The idea for this project was to…

As soon as I bought the new Jimny one of the first projects was to make leather handles. It’s become an obsession with many iterations to the design. Grab Handle The design has the laces out of sight running along the bottom of the handle. This make it’s easier to attach. There are 4 colours…
