UPDATE: I am taking pre-orders for countries that DO NOT have rear airbags installed on their Jimny. Please do not install a window molle panel if your Jinmy has rear airbags. The rear tailgate molle system worked out an absolute treat. We use it a lot and have all kinds of stuff stored in it,…

I took the advice from bigjimny.com based on the fact I’m not a major off road enthusiast and want to protect the essentials. So there’s only a few bits of underbody protection to add. First phase is Radius Arm Guards. I’ve hit these a few times so far, more so than anywhere else so it…

This storage idea has been done before. Instagram and YouTube have many examples to get inspiration from. It’s an easy mod and I’ll share how I did it. Shopping list Shop around, you can get everything cheaper, I just stuck with Amazon mostly for convenience and speed. Choosing the right parts takes time and lots…

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…

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…
