Great build and future mods will make it even better. Anyone that has modified a vehicle knows how the costs escalate very quickly, but it's still scary! At the end of the day you have a one off vehicle perfectly customized to your specifications, money isn't everything, but I wish I had more of it!
Definitely worth it. Great project and executed to the highest standard. Hopefully I'll get to Iceland when Covid is over (in my 3rd gen) and explore this beautiful landscape as well.
I can say this on behalf of every car enthusiast, if it makes you happy, its worth every penny. It looks so sick, clean and it just sits right, looks like what it should, very awesome!
I just find your jimny to be the best I've ever seen, and for the money used and great outdoor in your country, frankly all modifications done 'are worth the penny you put it in'! What a lucky guy and what a great jimny which you transformed from great, to fantastic ! Please Keep us updated on future mods and thanks for sharing great views of your beautiful country.

$34k is money well spent for what you have, well done ! BTW I am planning to install a Rotrex Supercharger from BULLET CARS Australia to my JB74 they say 65 - 85 % power increase WOW $ 8k Aud
Hi Antonio, I have been in touch with Bullet and have a offer from them which is okay 👌 I was planning to do a video on the install. But I have been trying to get information on other installs to see how they are holding up a year or so later! But I have not found any reviews and it worries me. Have you seen any reviews ? Bullet seems to be the way to go, but I have heard rumors that some Turbo kits from well known manufacturers will be entering the market soon and they are much cheaper then Bullet Supercharger
@@thenewjimnychannel361 $35,000!!!!!! my girlfriend looked at me and said "don't even think about it" so Badger our white Jimny will remain stock except maybe for lower low range gears and difflocks, l still think it's money well spent, looks stunning. Are wages in lceland good?
Wow nice set up! I own a fj cruiser and love the little Jimny but being as big as I am it's just not possible lol. If I was you I would of made extra fiberglass copies of the fender flares. You could of actually sold them to other off readers to help cover some of your costs. Seing that I'm in the USA the prices you paid for your parts were close to the same as where I live so I think you did ok. Have fun.
Hi , lovely build ...have you decided about the rotrex supercharger or a turbo kit ? I too have a zuk with a G13BB mpfi engine . I am also exploring possibilities of adding a few more horses . The aftermarket turbo have one big drawback ...reliability . I find a supercharger setup much more reliable and if anything goes wrong with the setup you can go back to factory quite easily . Love your tire inflation system 👍👍
I live in Japan, just ordered my jimny. Will take 3 months for delivery though. One thing I’ve never seen was the inflating / deflating system. Very useful indeed.
Coolest build I've seen. Hi bro I'm from the Caribbean, I have a k74 l200 and I really wanna get some flares for my k74 so I could use some 35" tires without a huge lift. That's my goal there to have some cool flares like yours
Not that expensive considering the extensive work in Iceland and the whole R&D. Do you feel you'd benefit fitting a portal axle system, getting extra ground clearance especially for the diffs ?
We will have the same car, mine is coming ordermade by nextmonth Jimny Shiera , atleast ive waited for 1 year .. im also exciting to upgrade my accesorries ..hi from tokyo japan.
Really great build. I think it is cheap for what you have got. In Australia you spend that much on a LandCruiser to fix the Toyota problems from the factory. Most have to spend $100k on them and still won't have the capability that you have. Thanks for showing us your build.
Thanks for the positive comment 👍 I have found out a thump rule that says the cost for max upgrading any new 4x4 is another 🚗 worth 😅 so yes Jimny is much cheaper than a Landcruiser or Jeep Wrangler 👍
This vehicle would be excellent here in Ecuador. Also paying high taxes on imported goods, but skilled labour is much less. A supercharger will help the bottom end, where you need it most, because you don’t have turbo lag, and you can program it to ease off at the top, to prevent breaking stuff at high rpms.
The thing is Jimny only struggles at anything above 100kp/h (with unmoded engine management) Good turbo kit (like the one Twisted in UK use) will get you more bang for the buck then any supercharger current fitted on JB74 (I've seen 4, and they all look jankie) 80% of result depends on installers skill. Wish you luck on your upgrade journey.
An interesting series and fantastic photography 👍 I’m from 🇬🇧 and visited Iceland last year and loved the country - looking forward to a return visit. I purchased an identical brand new black Jimny last year but kept it completely standard for UK roads - what a fantastic car with a unique personality. I would guess you’ve got the highest spec Jimny in the world? I have a manual but would be interested to hear your views on the auto - why did you choose that - would you choose it again? Looking forward to your future content 🙂
I suppose it's only a lot of money if you have to starve for it? If it's affordable and you enjoy it, why not? The Gen4 Jimny is quite a unique vehicle and you have made it more unique, but the best part is you have done it in a way the at a quick glance you wouldn't know apart from a lift and bigger tyres. Could have probably done it cheaper, but it would look like a botch job. Fantastic build!
Looks sick! Is any reason you went with auto over manual for the big Jimny build? Have heard that the TW-40E transmissions in the automatics aren't the strongest and tend to overheat, especially with a lot more weight?
Hi Tony and thanks for watching my video. Automatic is just more easier to drive because I film a lot. Regarding overheating issues I have not been aware that problem so far. But I am thinking of a upgrade putting in a heat thermometer so I can see the oil heat in real time👍
LMAO, you could buy another Jimny. hahaha Your mods are overkill where I am from but honestly, your mods are very unique. 1st time I have seen a Tyre Inflation System. Small, reliable and priced lower than the others, that's the Suzuki Jimny for you.
Hi Ron, you can send an e-mail to the shop and ask them if they ship internationally! They’re e-mail is: formverk@formverk.is. Like I say in the video, they are not cheap here in Iceland and if you need them shipped internationally, it’s going to cost you a lot of money 💰 but I think they are well worth it 👍😅
For this money you get a Wrangler Rubicon 4 Door with lift, 35s or 37s, bumper and winch and that without all that trouble but more space, power and comfort.
That's a lot of money, but hey, a man has got to do what a man has got to do. Better to spend it to get this super result than to spend it on beer. And the beauty of it all is that you may drive it on roads and can drive it on fantastic terrain. Here in Belgium, you can’t get it road legal like that and the possibilities for off-roading are not like in Iceland. So conclusion, well spend money.
very nice build...!!! although...cant avoid asking why you didnt invest this ammount of money on a more overlanding vehicle??? (more space and bigger engine)
Good question Andreas. This build was not intended for overlanding. It was specially made for snow wheeling on Glaciers and heavy snow conditions. It is lightweight car which makes it very capable in such conditions. No other vehicle on 35” tires could as far as the Jimny 👍 If I would have gone for a bigger 4x4 such as you see in my videos you have to have much bigger tires like 44-46” and then you start to spend even more 💰
Hi Jack. To be completely honest I did check the price for a brand new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and let me tell you they cost 75.000$ here in 🇮🇸 bone stock😳 then you need to ad all the extra 🤣 so no spare change there 😄
@@thenewjimnychannel361 I see but I said it based on US prices. which is 31000-35000 USD. comes with enough off-road functions for stock and good clearance.
Ooofff! But you have exactly the vehicle you want, great mods and it's totally unique.
A man of sheer will and dedication.
Great build and future mods will make it even better. Anyone that has modified a vehicle knows how the costs escalate very quickly, but it's still scary!

congratulations.... a pleasure to see a Jimny at that level of development...I want one like that!...greetings from Chile
request to mention Tyre and Rim Size, Lift obtained after installing new suspensions
It deserves every penny…. Great job

can you tell more about the 40 ah to the 70ah swap batterie. what has to be changed? thx for your vids :)
The 70ah battery had to be trimmed on the bottom foundation. Other than that nothing else 👍
Hi, how did you install the led rear marker lights?

With all them upgrades did you have to Re-gear? What size tires are those? Is that the maximum size?
Great!! Fantastic!
Did you have to strengthen the spare tire rear door mount? If you did how so?

Hi, where did you find exactly the fenders? There is a website or something?
Hi, those fender flares are custom made here in Iceland by a company called FORMVERK. You can contact them through their website formverk.is
Thank so much, do you have the price of what you paid?
@@j.c.cthespacekid426 way to much😂 about 3000$

Thank you, but why should the Jeep Rubicon be any better? It’s more expensive, heavier and spends even more gasoline?
👍 Perfect
Thanks for the positive comment 👍
Wow that’s a bunch of money. But other off-road cars are not cheaper. I guess a Wrangler with this capability’s is even 10 or more grand more.
Absolutely right you are 👍
