It was time for another trip in the Jimny! This time Kielder Water was on the itinerary, Elf Kirk view point to be specific. I had no idea what to expect but you can’t go wrong with Kielder. Packing light As with most camping trips I wanted to test something to improve the set up….

1st Night Jimny Roof Tent Camping
The Front Runner roof tent arrived and I quickly booked my favourite local camping spot, Brockwell Woods. The cool thing about Brockwell woods is you’re free to light campfires as long as you’re responsible. It’s an awesome place to go and rough it, but this time I’m glamping!

Rear Headrests as a Backrest
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…

Leather Handles for Jimny 2019 (JB64 / JB74)
