Gday from Ozzie Land everyone B) , ive only owned my Jiimny couple months, but those first baby steps have been taken to make this Jimny, a very capable offroader.
My build has a few main things i'd like. Looking at it, i wanna keep it as Girly/underwhelming looking as convenient, so as to have that element of suprise when driving past those Patrol n Landcruiser owners and seeing their mates tease them cuz nannas jimny went past um :laugh:

Obviously you cant disguise ground clearance and larger rubber. but ill be doing my best in most other aspects, this also has the added benefit of keeping bored constablery eyes away from my lil fun/daily driver.

Early days


Rear Kaiser Locker going in




Christmas presents-Speakers and Snorkel

I actually removed the wire from inside a bit of home extension cord and put this around the hole.



Bought some mesh cuz i loved the Mesh look, untill i see it with the white background through my mesh (bottom part) and decided against that quicksmart

but thought id just have a quick look see how they looked inside the plasticsurround, the more i looked the more i liked

So i decided to do the lot, just waiting on a spare one to remove the 'S' i just put a thin bead of Sikaflex along each fin and they seem to be holding tight as so far


I think it looked good, but something was lacking so here we are tonight out with the masking tape and sprayed some black paint around the lower mesh to give it a similar feel to the top ones, i feel its quite neat, pics dont do it justice really.

welcome Phil

the grille inserts look great

and the black paint around the lower mesh is a lovely touch, can't decide whether it's smiling or shark-like menacing :laugh:

look forward to seeing your future posts on mods and adventures
;)
