Great project! I love it! Keep us posted please! IMO camping is about going out, have a great time with friends and be grateful that we can do so.

Why am I reading about a Jimny on a VW California chat room? I don’t wish to seem unfriendly but if I wanted to read about a Jimny I would go to the Jimny club.com

First job was to sort the tailgate door, didn’t open up far enough.
My drawer unit kept hitting door card.
Replaced gas strut with longer one.

How did you shrink Zebedee?

 

[The Blue Merle]

Best mod so far.
Cup holder for my yeti mug and iPhone max holder, had to wait awhile due to only available in Japan.
Very pleased.

Absolutely.
It wasn’t that long ago we couldn’t leave our homes except for 30 minutes of exercise and they painted little arrows on supermarket shopping isle floors…

Keep the posts coming

Yep have a few colours and had to buy the posh extra strong cupholder to take the yeti. I even drink out of them when at home!

Nice accessories. I love my Yeti.

Hopefully the odd camping trip to come, once I get my outside box for hiking/wet gear.
Had an issue with front runner order so a little delay, they’re been great sorting it so far

Your VanEssa bag works a treat in the jimny, it was supposed to be for the kombi.
Bet you smile everytime you push the magic roof button now
The van shrunk so I got Zeb shrunk to fit!

Love the mini Zeb tbh we still miss a lot about the Beach but the Ocean means we are still able to get out and about

New project, making my jimny into a little campout vehicle.
Very early days but already taking shape.

A few cali bits put to good use brandrup seat pocket, VanEssa bag and windscreen curtain.

I wanted the 4 seater, I’m sure these were around 17 new?

Such a cool little car.

Yep, now 2nd hand ones are £25-£30k
You can get the van converted into the 4seater as it’s the same.
Doesn’t have all the bells and whistles as the sz5 car (no heated seats, side air bags or satnav).
They are just like an old school defender with a bit of refinement.
Love it!

New mod, and an important one for todays adventure.
Yakima spare wheel bike rack holds two bikes up to 30kg.

Had to adapt the wheel cover as it would have been very easy to pinch. Guessing the design is more suited for alloy wheel.
Last of all got to use it today as headed over to Corgarff for a great ride.
Still needs a few adjustments.

Latest mod to reach the very tall roof!
I’ve fitted it to attached a box for hiking gear/wet stuff.

That bike looks massive - forget how small a Jimmy is! Great looking jeep and project though.

Simple but handy mod, yeti 1 gallon bottle carrier fitted in van.
Holds 5L mineral bottle perfect. Have had this in my cali and joker. Pretty cheap for yeti product £40 the yeti bottle isn’t

You need to trade in the Cube for a Yeti SB165 to match your mugs
