What plans do you have for your Gen4?

Hello Fellow Jimny lovers,

I've come into some spare cash lately, which is unusual for me. I also have some time on my hands due to work changes, so i thought i be nosey and ask the following...... hahaha.

I have plans for my Jimny (or rather my renamed samurai V4) and was interested in what you lovely lot are planning to do to your own Jimny. I've seen a few of you add some lovely little bits ( Wheel covers, Roof racks, Up-rated bulbs, Camera's both front and rear, Front Grills, Tyres etc.

I Thought i'd share my own "want" list, whilst cautiously being aware that extra weight is not ideal fro a stock Jimny, or i suppose any 4x4 really. . So it's a tugg-of-war between what i actually need and would use, whats just cosmetic and vein, whats feasible in terms of adding weight, and whats downright over-kill in an attempt to be my former 10 yr old self again, but this time with real tonker trucks

An example of this kinda thing..... would be the official suzuki front silver bumper garnish (Hhahahaa Garnish). It looks bling, goes well with black and blue jims IMO, but decreases approach angle, so i'm choosing carefully depending on the intended use. Anyways here's mine:

Front winch - (Axon Warn winch bolt on) - (Thought i'd start off with the most extravagant) I'm in the mind-set of being like a modern day prepper. He knows he wont need a crossbow, canoe, tent, and thermal imaging equipment in his daily life, but at the same time realising that, if the worst did ever happen, he will be at least be prepared for the very worst. = Remember my tonker toys?

Roof rack

Wheel cover (fabric) or the one like Gadgets, not sure yet.

Wind deflectors on front windows.

Would like side skirts, but not sure about the official suzi garnish variety. I Like the side/skid rails, but again.... weight makes me think twice and so far the ones ive seen lower the vehicles clearance ability.

Skid plates on diffs and possible gear box.

Reverse camera.

Up-rated Reverse bulbs.

Rubber boot liner.

Possibly a minimum lift kit (as sold by Martin in jimny shop)

Front car cam.

General grabbers AT2's, Toyo open country or the geolanders in - 215/75/15.

A tilt angle device on the dash. (I think these are great, especially if you know the approx tip over angle.

Upgraded speakers, front and rear.



Anyways I Would love to see your list of "wants" guys and gals.

Hope you dont think i'm too materialistic lol. I just love this new Jimny and i really enjoy thinking about the cars potential.

Cheers everyone,

Andy.

Being practical, I'd like to improve the internal storage and am looking forward to seeing what Paranoid Industries have in the pipeline. Other than that, wind deflectors and rear privacy film (SZ4). I'm just going to enjoy the vehicle for what it is and upgrade things as they need replacing.

Only things left on my list are:

- wrapping the spare wheel cover to de-chrome
- installing rear speakers
- buying roofbars so that I can fit my roofbox if needed (probably Thule squarebars)

I love the idea of having a winch, but I know that I would never, ever use it!

You know you want a winch Gadget!

• Reversing camera (arrived today)
• Wind deflectors
• Spot lamps (Cibbie Oscars or KC Daylighhters)
• Underneath protection (I'll start with diff guards)
• Recovery points

And if I get the real off roading bug


• Rock sliders
• Winch
• Would love a full metal front winch bumper like the one I saw for the Gen3 at Stafford

If as is suspected the axles are just slightly longer than the gen3 then I doubt that there's a serious need for diff guards until you are hammering round quarries doing comp safaris every weekend. Even if you are there's other things to protect first. It's not a live axle land rover so doesn't need protection from pebbles.
