SMALL IN SIZE, BIG ON ACCESSORIES – THIS 2019 SUZUKI JIMNY HAS BEEN BUILT TO DO IT ALL.

- EVAN SPENCE

THE LITTLE Rig

THERE’S no denying how popular the JB74 model Suzuki Jimny is, both locally and internationally. Suzuki has done a marvellous job of creating a new model that somehow is modernised, yet with a strong nod to the heritage of the previous incarnations of Suzuki’s off-roaders. While Zooks have always been capable four-wheel drives, it’s plain to see they are on the small side, especially if you intend on carrying basic things like people or cargo.

The JB74 Jimny is also a relatively new model, so sourcing gear can be an added challenge. For Darren Young, the owner of this highly modified example, that was almost part of the appeal to build his idea of the ultimate (Little) Rig.

“A friend was talking to me about the Jimny, and how good they are off-road,” Darren tells us. “I started watching videos on YouTube, and was instantly hooked. I sold my 2016 Ford Ranger and ordered the new model. When I first picked up the vehicle, there weren’t many aftermarket accessories available yet. So customising it meant plenty of trial and error. I’ve been trying to find that perfect balance between a mini tourer and an off-road weapon. I’ve got a pretty good balance so far, I think. I wanted something that could do it all basically.”
