little jimny's little jimny!

OZ alloys aren't the standard ones Suzuki fit

05 onwards have 5 spokes which i really like... the same as the one little jimny has fitted

Yeah I bought them as a extra put my steelies back on now and had powder coated satin black

Another post, another interior! Sadly Mrs Little Jimny didn't really get on with the Recaros so I decided to try to find a decent original interior (I couldn't bring myself to just go back to the standard grey cloth seats). Anyway, to cut a long story short I found a Jimny Mode being broken a few miles up the road so it kindly donated most of its interior and its alloys :laugh:

Here's the new interior;





You can see from this shot that one of the cubby covers was missing so I've had to use an original light grey one. If anyone has a spare dark grey one please let me know



And finally, the back door. As bit of a bonus I discovered the door release catch had been hidden behind the old trim, so I bent it back into place and now have a back door I can open from inside



The alloys have needed a darn good seeing to with Wonder Wheels and will soon be replacing my Vitara 5 spokes for winter duties.

Very nice. What did you use for the floor covering?

Thanks. The front is just standard Jimny carpet, the back I ply lined (to get it to one level) and got a universal cut to size rubber mat off eBay for about a tenner.

Have to say the seats look a treat, maybe I should start looking around a few scrap yards .................. :whistle:

Yeah, this was one of those rare occasions of being in the right place at the right time. The seats were in exceptional condition given that they were from a breakers (the guy had taken the seats out of the car and stored them in a container) - all they needed was a quick dust down and a once over with Autoglym Leather Care.

The wheels are nowhere near as good, but they'll do fine for winters. Once I've swapped the tyres over I'll pop some pics up.

Here's the Jimny on the new 'Toblerones'



And look what Santa brought down the Jimny Chimny......

I've got those seats in mine and they are as comfy as jimjam seats get. I like them. There was a Mode being broken on eBay the other day if anyone wants to look it up.

They look good in your Jimjam too. Much easier to get into without the side bolsters. My mate had Rs Turbo Recaros in his old SJ and they were a pain in the arse, quite literally sometimes!

Then I brought it indoors just in case we get heavy snow - I'm a bit worriedwith it being such a small jeep I might not be able to find it buried under the snow.

What do you think?

Nice little jeep, where would u get one of these?

I found it on eBay. The standard body is white but I sprayed mine up to sort of almost match the real thing :laugh:
