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…

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 be at hands reach….

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…

I’d recently ordered a box of cargo hooks and fancied making them into something more interesting. I love old school ‘bushcraft’ style equipment and thought I could bring a bit of that to the Jimny. The idea was to make the cargo hooks multi-purpose by creating some leather covers for the metal hooks that would…

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…

The Jimny is a small car with a tall stature and soft suspension, essentially a box on wheels. Therefore, as soon as you begin to carry a decent amount of weight on the roof you may find yourself in some squeeky bum situations on the road. Ever since starting to build our Jimny Micro Camper…

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…
