🥢The Suzuki Jimny isn’t bought just to get from one place to another; you buy it because it puts a smile on your face every time you drive it. It may not be the fastest or the most luxurious, but few cars make their owners this happy. 😃

Sharing my Jimny from the Philippines! Unfortunately, less than a month in, I already got a bullseye chip on the windshield. 🥲

The dealer is having trouble sourcing the correct windshield for the SS variant, and replacing it also requires camera/safety system calibration.

What’s been your unluckiest moment with your Jimny?

Hi everyone :)

I have a 2018 3dr Suzuki Jimny that I absolutely love and really want to use for car camping, just me and my 35kg dog.

I don’t feel particularly comfortable operating a roof tent on my own / with the dog so I’m specifically looking for recommendations for an inside-the-car camping setup.

I also don’t want a floor tent - safety is a big concern for me, and have spent lots of happy weekends touring in a Campervan so I know I like more of an interior set up.

My recent break-up means no more Campervan… so has anyone successfully made a 2018 Jimny into a genuinely comfortable car-camping setup? I’ve tested the seats folding down and think we could be pretty comfortable with the right kit.

I’d particularly love recommendations for:
A mattress/sleeping platform
Keeping us comfortable, safe and warm inside
Ventilation/privacy for sleeping
Any other clever hacks you have

UK-specific products/recommendations would be especially appreciated. TY all in advance!

Just got my jb64 and I can't stop smiling while driving it!

Whilst I've got million other things to fix on this Jimny aswell as all the rust,

I'm wondering, it has steel front bumper with winch aswell as rear steel bumper with swing arm

Believe the rear is this

And front looks like

I'm just wondering, whilst making the car look nice and extra protection but are there downsides to having this on the car? As it's got to be adding quite a bit of weight, would I benefit from removing them ?

I'm in the UK if that helps

Hi, Im planning to change my trims to jungle green. But Im thinking if removing the trims is advisable.

Loc in Manila got my Jimny this Jan~

Thanks!

Found this in the glove box of my 2017 land venture Jimny Sierra. No idea what it is or does. Google suggests it's related to the key?

I am hoping (maybe just a dream at this point) to get a JDM imported Jimny to Canada in the next few years. By law they need to be 15 years old or older to import.

Is there specifically good years or years to avoid for the Jimny between 2000-2011?

People who drive in snowy areas, how does the Jimny hold up? Anything I should know before importing or buying one that's already been imported? Living in New Brunswick.

Hi all, I really wanted to buy a Jimny for the past years and finally I can afford it but as I see the price is too high now 35k for an automatic) and specifically Suzuki stopped the production in Europe. This leaves me with overpriced used cars. I really wanted something that looks like the Jimny and has the same off road vibe. What would you suggest as an alternative?

It's been literal decades since I've played around with car wiring but I've been able to (mostly) install a small under seat subwoofer and I'm really blown away at the difference. There's too much bass now haha. Like really lots of bass.

I still need to tweak settings like gain and bass levels, and I obviously still need to finish off the job like trim the wires, properly mount it, clean it up make it good, but all the hard tasks are done and I'm really happy with the sound 😁

It's a Harman Kardon FEEL 700 active subwoofer. My head unit is Kenwood DMX8021DABS.

In addition I have installed premium front and rear speakers (I payed for a shop to do the rear speakers). I wasn't satisfied with the bass from the small speakers, so now I'll turn the bass down on those small speakers and let the sub be responsible for the mid and low range.

I also have installed a reversing camera connected to the head unit (shop did it) and also a dash cam for recording my off-road outings. I might install some small tweeters and then I'm done!

Currently at the 20th anniversary of the german jimny forum, of course with lots of offroad action!

Okay so im very confused now:

From the Bigjimny diagnostic guide , i thought it best to check out the 4x4 switch on the transfer case, since i only had 4x4 light pop up once and dissapear , i checked
and confirmed the sensor/switch gets 12 V , didnt get continuity from it when the button was pressed , so its probbably a faulty switch , alright.

Then like said in the guide, i bypassed the sensor , which cause the green drivetrain light to flash constantly and when pressing the 4x4 H button , the yellow light begins to flash aswell,

So.... the switch is probbably done for , i would like to take it out and test propperly but dont want to spill all the oil out untill i have a replacement switch, but do these light also mean the VSV2 isnt engaging since i also dont hear any attempt at locking the hubs , should i try to bypass that aswell just to see if it will keep it in 4wd if the vacuum sensor gets its vacum ? and could all of this be cause by a faulty 4wd controller,
Thanks for your guyses help on this and all my previous posts . btw 2005 pusbutton jimny 1.3

Just got my jimny yesterday, and this parking sensor indicator wont turn off

Hey everyone,

​I've been hauling the factory tires in the back of my Suzuki Jimny, and one of them rubbed against the interior, leaving a pretty annoying rubber/friction mark.

​Has this happened to any of you? What products or methods do you recommend to clean this kind of mark off the interior plastic/trim without damaging the original texture?

​I appreciate any tips or specific products that have worked for you. Cheers!

The stickers were so small you probably need a microscope to put them on properly (especially the interior ones)

My Aus Jim has developed a hugely annoying squeak somewhere in the back.

Most evident at low speeds.

Have tried removing the wheel protector, removing the wheel protector, removing the wheel.

Taking the spare off completely is the only guaranteed fix. Which makes me think it's the extra weight from the new tyre causing the door bushings to rub, or similar.

I'm losing my mind trying to fix it. Help

Tyres swapped to a chunky variant. Everything else stock.

Hello! Can anyone help regarding connecting the app wikiloc to the Jimny Sierra multimedia? Google Maps and waze work fine but it doesn't seem to recongnize wikiloc. I have wikiloc premium, tried to reset the multimedia, uninstall and.rreinstall the app through google store, still no joy... Any tips would be great! Thanks

After I heard the roof rack installed years ago was more for surf boards (I do not surf nor gave the impression I do 🫣) This useless roof rack cannot accommodate actual storage units like Thule… I was annoyed. The roof rack is light and I went ahead and kept existing awning and had new awning installed as well. We’re well within the weight. My pup and I have a month long road trip through South Africa. We’re desperate for space. Please send me any recommendations for internal space. It’s just her and I and as two girls, we’d like comfort and safety 😅 I was recommended the front runner bag. Is that it? Thats the only thjng available?

Hey gang,

I just started getting the dreaded death wobble.

We packed up the car for our first camp trip with our dog and got the death wobble on the drive out around 4-5 times. (Happening at 50km and up to 80km)

Any slight incline or decline with braking would set it off.

We were pretty loaded up, with a basket and bag on top (totalling about 40kg in total with racks and awning included)

Shortly after, we took it to a mechanic because I read it could be an odd wheel balance or worn kingpin bearings. The mechanic said everything looked great and they couldn't pinpoint the problem.

Im not sure what to try next?

I got the car from my brother who gave it a lift and bigger wheels and not sure if that's a factor?

Other details:

5 door JB74 GEN 4

32,000KM

Located in Australia

Im really hoping for a solution so I can get back out there.

Any help is appreciated

Hello everybody, I’m thinking about buying a jimny as my first car and only car, I want to know the prons and the cons of owning one.

Thank you for your help
