From road to ruin, my jimny project.

As you know my jimny is going to be my daily, a green laner and occasionally il throw it at some tougher stuff so im going to be carrying out a few mods that will work all terrains and all seasons

I popped down the breakers yard Saturday for some parts for a job, and noticed a little jimny looking sorry for itself, found it had a half leather interior (faux leather I believe, I don't think they have heard of cows yet in Japan) struck up a deal and got it for a decent price, even threw in the original handbook and case for me as mine was missing

I do have the rears aswell, they just folded down with the old interior sitting n top.

Some xenon bulbs, only cheapys, I've used them in my other cars and bikes and have always been impressed with the difference for the price, I wouldn't say they are any brighter, but they produce a whiter light which I find is much more effective at lighting up the sides of the road more than anything, it's easier to judge at night when everything is the right colour rather than a dull yellow, might just be me but il post the results later on when it gets dark.

I'm not expecting any power gains from the k n filter, but it was £23 posted so it will have payed for itself within 2 services

I like the seats .............

Thank you I am really pleased with them.

Quick few pics of the lights now its dark.

Dips

High

what bulbs are they??

eBay xenon's. they cost the same as standard bulbs, it's xenon gas instead of halogen, it burns slightly brighter apparently. They cost £9 posted for sides, dip/high and fogs, but the fog lights where incorrect

I noticed this sump guard/belly pan when I went to view the car, I assumed it was standard fitment but now I think otherwise. It's pretty heavy duty, not sure if its a suzuki option or an aftermarket bit of kit. Either way its a nice extra essentially for free :laugh:
