Mods

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…
