Introducing Hugo was created by JeffWray
Hello, I'm fairly new to this but this is my Jimny Hugo.
I've had him just over two years now and still not confident to do too serious offroading, thats not to say that I haven't got him very muddy.

What I've done so far:
Towbar,
Light covers,
Satnav,
Roof Rack and Lights,
Bed,
Sub Woofer,
Interior stickers and trim.

Whats coming next:
2" lift kit.
Black modular rims with all terrain tyres.
Steering damper kit.

Welcome to the club mate. That's a good looking Jim. Where did you get your headlight protectors from?

Thanks, yeah the way the seats fold in a Jimny was what sold it to me (well that and everything else that makes them great haha), as I love camping but can find tents to be not that great :)

Nice Jimny!
How does your bed setting works?
I'm looking forward to do something like that on mine.
Thanks!
Cheers from Brazil!

Out of interest did the sat nav come as standard or was it an aftermarket fitment from you. If so where could you get them.

Hey,
Sorry for its taking me so long, I though it would be easier if I took plenty of photos whilst camping :)

The only downside to these cushions is that they take up so much room, I've got a roof bag, however that isnt waterproof hence the large inner plastic bag

Hi, I purchased the stereo a couple of years ago from ebay, it was from china so I had to pay import fees making a total cost of about £330. So yeah I took a risk with this.

The advantages of it are its a direct replacement for the original meaning no facia plate so you save about £100-120, it also lights up with all of the instruments when side/main lights are switched on which is quite nice.

However I would not recommend this product if you rely on bluetooth like me, the unit over heats causing the Bluetooth to hiccup and cut out. It can last a couple of hours if not longer, if the air conditioning is on (as the vents pass the back of the unit helping to keep it cool). This means in winter its worse when the heating is on.

As for all of the features its quite good, it does have an aux in cable at the back so I've placed a second bluetooth module in the glove box to sort of overcome this issue.
