The latest mods to my Jimny

I've done quite a bit to my Jimny over the last week. Firstly, my Xrox Bull Bar finally arrived.



Installed by Opposite Lock Springwood (3808 1700).

Then I decided it was time to do something about the sound system. For those who don't know, a stock Jimny has 4" speakers in the front and no rear speakers. I decided to change that. I installed some JL 6*9s in the panel on the rear door. Took me and a mate ~4 hours but it came up beautifully!!!




In other news, my Jimny will be making an appearance in the magazine "Australian 4WD Action & Adventure" in their new "Adventure Addicts" section. Unsure which issue it will be appearing in. When I know I'll let you guys know.

The rear speakers look cool, I fitted some in standard hole behind rear panels but I do like these, what did you make the panel from?? Cheers

some mdf, black leather, glue and a lot of patience.

Looks good

thats the go,

i attempted to fit a set in the back "arm rests" didnt go to plan hahaha

ill probably follow suit..

Yeah I explored a few options. Ripped up a heap of the trim in the back trying to find somewhere for the b@stards to mount. No luck anywhere except the boot.

Only thing with the boot door is that you need to be wary of the depth of the speakers. DONT cut through any of the supporting framework of the door.

I read a nasty story about that recently

excellent work Jake

what you've done on the door with the speakers is a work of art, top job

Thanks Halford! I'm gonna try and do something with the front speakers this week because now I have this amazing, crystal clear, bassy music coming from the back and still a bit of distortion from the front.

Looking at putting some JL Audio 5.25" in. WIll post pictures if/when I get round to doing it.

Ok. JL Audio 5.25" speakers in front.

Put a new Air filter in today. Previous one was the original from 2008! Quite dirty.

Also ordered some new sparkplugs

Had a little play today:

Looks good bud, love the front end! So expensive though only sale from AUS

Thanks Nathan, the bar weighs some 80kgs when it arrives in the packaging. The freight would cost more than the bar for shipping to the UK

Next for me is a winch / dual battery system. Ordered a battery tray suitable for a Jimny with A/C and ABS. Will post pics when its in.
