Hi all,

I recently bought a 2020 Jimny in white - I plan to trek around the UK and Europe (covid depending).

I spent the last 3 years living out of my land cruiser in Africa (between work) and decided a simpler approach to Europe, and got to satisfy my love for the Jimny.

Meet Chalky_the_Jimny:

My first car many many years ago was a Jimny too - meet Jimmy (2000 model - shot in 2008):

The day I got it:

First things first - speaker and grill upgrade.

I also installed the mud flaps (horrible drilling into the bumpers), upgraded the fog lights and indicator coverr.

Welcome to the forum. That's cool. I would love to have the facility to toddle my way round the UK for a few months. Maybe when I retire?

Hi Chalky the Jimny, sounds like a great idea and welcome along.
A few on here have adapted the Jimny as a sleeping wagon, some good ideas floating around.
Lambert - don't wait for retirement if you have any plans, make them happen while you can. Life's not predictable enough to place your dreams in that stage of life.

It's the joy of being a shepherd, I have to put the welfare of my sheep above everything and whilst I may currently be able to count on my parents for a bit of relief on a weekend, a few months is a different matter all together. Also shepherding has a lot to recommend it.
