I think that is the best Gen4 Jimny build I have seen, so much work has gone in to it, but it doesn't stand out as an eyesore. It all fits together perfectly!
This is the optimal Jimny build, I will build mine much milder, skip the tire inflation system and all of the stereo stuff, and go for a liftkit and as big tires as I can fit after that. Generally I am against lifting the body from the frame, but in your case it wouldn't look stupid and it might have saved you some cutting for clearence. (I think you can lift 2" without serious compromizes) Also, the ARB bumper protrudes forward a bit much, not for your monster, but for a milder Jimny, so I would look if there was something else to bolt the winch to. The tip about the motor controller being the same as in the GSXR opens up for many aftermarket parts, although I would probably call your guy in Norway who already have a working solution. Great videos
@@thenewjimnychannel361 No problem! I have a little sister living in Tálknafjörður (Iceland) so i'm familiar with Icelandic trucks. Furthermore I am a Jimny JB74w owner myself so I must admit that I am a little bit jalous of your build. Mine is only slightly modified, but it fits danish conditions fairly well as such. If you are interested I have a few pictures on my instagram account: instagram.com/andreasbolesen/?hl=da
I love this so much! I have generation 3 but I don't have a lot of money to do these things. I have some protective armor plates underneath for offroading protection, and I am going to have enough money for a snorkel soon! I love your videos!
Looks amazing! Just finished watching both seasons of Trapped, you guys have some really cool 4x4s in Iceland. Also now understand why I saw so many trucks with huge tires! Thanks!
I agree. I would only swap out the stock tires for all-terrain ones. Yokohoma Geolandar (215/75 r15) fits perfectly, and I like the highlighted white branding on the tires. 😅
wow badass jimny...greetings from sarawak malaysian Borneo..drives it on my mountainous muddy slippery tropical rainforest logging camp tracks for a test...🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Man this is so awesome!! This is probably one of the best looking 4×4 off road vehicle I've ever seen!!!! ❤💯 All I can say is it must be nice to have money!!!!! I barely was able to get into a 2011 Jeep Jk all black like yours and I've been doing little things to it... what I could afford but congratulations on everything working out with your build!!
Thank you for the positive comments. Already posted this video! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-44XTneU2WEc.html have you seen that one? More videos are coming soon 👍
Thanks for the positive comment 👍 I really thought about doing that but I am trying to keep the Jimny as light as possible so I decided not to because they are to heavy. I have the tires clued on and that has not failed me yet 👍
@@thenewjimnychannel361 aha ok make sense about the weight but I don’t know if the glue could handle low pressure for extreme off-roading also the beads look SIIICK 😂 especially with your build
Hopefully they’ll bring back Suzuki Jimny in North America! I would like to own one for daily use and light off road. I don’t see myself buying a over price Jeep Wrangler.
Put that metal encase to protect the differentials beneath the car Put some lights on the roof to give it a complete truck look And change the front grill to the one that says SUZUKI or some other design that is finished in Matt black Also but a supercharger if it's possible. Take the horse power to atleast 200hp Other than that your car is amazing. Good job
You are obviously a Drive-a-Jimny-in-Iceland expert. I rented a Jimny in September 2023 for 2 weeks, but did not really drive on the F-roads. August this year I return and plan on more F-road driving and I already rented a Jimny again. Say rainfall and other weather conditions are normal, would you say that I should be fine driving to Landmannalaugar (Northern route F26/F208, actually I would prefer to go by F225 and catch F208 just before Landmannalaugar) and Kerlingarfjôll in the Jimny? Any input if I continue on F208 towards Huldufoss or should I not press my luck? I`m confident about driving to Thakgil. Thorsmörk I have decided to take the bus to and back, as I am not too confident about the final 2-3 river crossings before Thotsmörk. Thanks, Per
It's a great project! How do you put fuel into the extra tank? And where fuel flows from the extra tank? Into the main tank or into the engine? May be I lost something due to my poor english)
Hey !! its awesome i have also one just upgraded with arb oldman emu suspension . But i have a question if you have time, which arb air locker did you use for rear locker ? I couldn’t find in in the list it says just suitable for front, thanks in advance
That's a lot of passionate work. Congrats.Wondering how much of this this could have cost, especially in Iceland. I guess it cost more than what a brand new Jimny cost.
I've seen the problems you've had with gearing and power, I'm surprised you didn't consider a portal axle kit which would have given a gear reduction and enabled bigger tyres to be fitted without spending tonnes on a suspension lift kit and or power upgrades. Beautiful Jimny though none the less, mine is standard at the moment. I'm tempted by the TIBUS portal axle kit!
Thanks for watching my video. Would absolutely have done portal axles at the time I was doing the upgrade, but I didn’t know they were available back then. But they are hugely expensive and I doubt they are any cheaper option than the rest of the upgrade I’ve done so far.
We started work in September 2019 and finished in February 2020. I will do a video on the cost for the whole project soon. I have been thinking about a rear ladder and I most likely do that mod👍 any ideas are welcome. I have already custom built a spare tire box, will also do a special video on that mod👍
Honest question, how do your folks deal whit the hub bearing problem of the massive tires fitted in arctic style. Amazing build btw, love the "new" Jimny.
Incredible work. Big Confrats. Is the tpms box for turning off the system warning on the dashboard? If so, could you ease aevise where did u get it from? Thanks
Yes it is for correcting errors in the dashboard for tire sensors. I took the sensors completely out and installed the correction box inside behind the speaker one connected it to steady electricity.
Is there any chance to get that modified program for higher engine power? Would like to squeeze from mine just little bit more power, and just remaping stock motor would be best solution. thanks in advance for reply
Very nice achievement. I am very interested in the manufacture of the additional tank. Please, can you show us more detail? how is the filler neck positioned, what type of pump is used? where the gasoline is returned in the original tank? is there an additional canister? is there a gauge?
It´s kind of hard to explain in text. Maybe i will post a short video soon. But the short version is that you fill both tanks in the same fuel filling hole. The pipes to both tanks are joined together at the top of filling hole and you only have to adjust the fuel gun slightly to the left or right for each tank. When the main tank gets low on fuel i hit a button marked "FUEL" on the electric control box in dash and a small pump in reserve tank pumps fuel to the main tank and basically refills it. The only problem is that you have to remember to manually switch of the pump when the reserve tank is empty. Hope this explains the big picture👍
@@thenewjimnychannel361 thank you very much for your answer it's very clear, i wanted to do exactly the same thing but a professional told me that the gasoline vapors from the new tank will create a canister fault. your fuel pump is external or internal? can you share the model?
Wow! Congratulations! What an amazing result. Done with a great eye. It’s so good that it Looks OEM. Is it possible to get the 4.88:1 gearing for the transfer case you mention on 1511? Can you give us the website or how to purchase? Many thanks in advance !
What is the curb weight of the little nugget? and does Iceland allow beadlock rims so that you could air down to single digit / sub-1 bar tire pressures? I know snow isn't as tough on tires as rock and sand, but ice and ledges are.
The curb weight is around 11-1200kg and yes bead looks rims are allowed here in Iceland 🇮🇸 I don’t think I need bead lock rims because I have aired down to 2psi with out any problems in very challenging conditions
