Front Runner 3/4 Rack New Jimny

Front Runner Slimline 3/4 Rack

Posted on August 3, 2019April 29, 2020

We decided to go for the Front Runner Slimline 3/4 rack. The reason we did not go for the full sized rack is when the tent is mounted we don’t plan on adding any additional items to increase the roof load. The 3/4 rack fits the tent perfectly. Fitting the tent to the rack we…

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…

Jimny Roof Tent Camping

1st Night Jimny Roof Tent Camping

Posted on June 19, 2019August 16, 2019

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! My better half was at a friends…
