My Jimny in its natural habitat.

Hello everybody, in the next couple of months i plan on modding my jimny to a hard core offroader. Im planing on installing a front and a rear winch. I have been looking everywhere but i cant seem to find anybody that has made any kind of atempt of installing a rear winch (actualy installed - not just mounted on the tow bar) i intend to cut the bottom of the factory tool box out and weld the cut part upside down as to make space so i can mount the winch in its position. The plan is to be able to acces the winch only from the outside - i dont want to have any holes or acces from the inside of the car as not to let water and moisture get in the car. Do you have any ideas sugestions or even photos on how to get started? Thanks very much🤟

I am a recent new owner of a 2000 jdm jimny. This is in the passenger foot well it obviously looks like it is supposed to hold something. What is that something?

Finally took the Jimny to Tehri Dam, Kanatal and Rishikesh and this thing absolutely belongs in the mountains.

did a mix of highway cruising, steep climbs, rough patches, and dusty roads (got a bit worried about the snorkel + DIA Setup I have, but its all good). The short wheelbase and light weight make it ridiculously fun on hill roads and it feels capable enough to go exploring without stressing too much.

The best part wasn’t even the driving though, it was just sitting there near the dam, mountains in the background, completely disconnected from city noise for a while.

People joke about the Jimny being tiny until they see where it can comfortably take you.

Hello all, Had my Jim for a good few months, she's a 98 jap model that ive taken stewardship of, rebuilt the engine, slowly sorting it out, always wanted a Jim of my own and very proud of her!

I got my first Jimny three weeks ago, and asked the dealer to install a few extras, including this snorkel. Seemed like a good idea after our Volvo V70 was totalled by a local flood a few months back.

But I am wondering about the design of these snorkels after a comment here. As far as I know the snorkel is a direct and well sealed connection to the air intake, no sort of drainage within its construction.

I am fretting about driving rain being sucked in now, and wonder if anyone has any sage advise about how to improve this?

I bought a rear facing trim on eBay but the damned thing is 5mm out on the screw holes - if I fit it I run the risk of enlarging the exiting holes and nousing it up, as the snorkel is not made of the best plastic.

I have wondered about fitting some foam or light material behind the grill to deter casual ingress, although all that might do is break down any rain sucked in, and it is still water ingress.

Or are there owners out there with snorkels like this that have never had a problem, and I being too precious about my precious?

Hello all!
I’ve bought my Jim used but it came without the key for the roof racks which the previous owner installed on backwards. How can I remove them without the key so that I can flip them around the right way?
I went to Supercheap and they said they can’t do it without me buying a whole new set of roof racks.
I don’t know what brand they are.
