Expedition Jimmy

Hi all. This is my first post on the forum. I bought a 56 plate Jimny back at the start of this year and have being slowly doing bits and bobs with the view of using it for camping and light expeditions.

Progress so far:
Back seats removed and homemade load bed installed.
Solar power setup with 45Ah battery and 240v inverter.
Slimline Expedition style roof rack from Jimny bits.
Front mounted LED spotlights x2 with homemade brackets.
4 LED floodlights mounted to front of roof rack.
2 LED working lights mounted to back of rack.
1.4x2m awning attached to rack on passenger side.
Awning tent.

For the awning tent photos I just threw it up to give you all the idea. Wasn't pegged in. Think I'm going to need to get some small motor home ramps to prop the jimny up when using the tent.

Tell me what you think and give any suggestions.

Welcome. Im liking the awning that could be very useful for inside outside jobs.

Looking good - the load area looks neat.

Looking good. The only thing I would change is the trailer socket. Its very easy to rip one off when in the rough. I moved mine to the bumper.

Yeah the trailer socket bracket has gotten bent before. Will have a look at moving it at some point. Anyone have any recommendations for decent tyres. The ones on at the moment are ok but are a bit slippery on the mud. Was thinking of some knobbly ones.
