Ooofff! But you have exactly the vehicle you want, great mods and it's totally unique.

[@SuzJim99]

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.

[@Getting-Older]

Great recap on what you've done, fantastic job and looks superb!!!

[@MrVayolence]

A man of sheer will and dedication.

[@Peter-xtreme]

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!

[@manuelwebe]

Holy smokes! A lot of money spent on that beautiful Jimny. Congrats!

[@cristobalreyessierra6795]

congratulations.... a pleasure to see a Jimny at that level of development...I want one like that!...greetings from Chile

[@Vulvaetix]

Awesome build, enjoy it!

[@KAMIKAZE-dk8xd]

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!

[@thenewjimnychannel361]

Thanks for the positive comment 👍

[@BorisEkner]

Impressive. Congratulations!

[@sean69tauarai]

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.

A really unique Jimny, i love it! 👍

[@DA-pj3or]

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.

[@antonioc3768]

$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

[@thenewjimnychannel361]

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

[@sailorsanjoy]

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 👍👍

[@hummerh1.garage]

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

[@macrolex9485]

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 🙂

[@thenewjimnychannel361]

I film a lot and having a stick is just harder to control all my equipment, drones, camera and so on. I think the auto is just more relaxing to drive.

Amazing build mate, absolutely love it. Just quickly was the total price in Iceland Krona or USD or AUSD??

[@jodricpalisbo7916]

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.

[@dexterrr9163]

Do you have any other vehicles? Whats your best 4x4 you ever owned?

[@bethovenduja2052]

Wishing to have a car like this☝️

[@iansaunders8694]

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.

[@thenewjimnychannel361]

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 👍

[@ogeyeyt4487]

👍🏽 thats a lot of money

[@thenewjimnychannel361]

[@Apilotofthecaribbea1]

Did you have to strengthen the spare tire rear door mount? If you did how so?

[@neilbeacham1244]

Amazing build, very capable vehicle Any updates on super charging/turbo charging or other modifications

[@thenewjimnychannel361]

It’s all happening soon. Bullet Supercharger, Long Ranger fuel tank one more👍👌

[@pbenjlo]

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 ?

[@bdahmartlangte5551]

You have money.. that great 😆🤣

[@18nahumbarrera]

Hi, how did you install the led rear marker lights? 

[@Tony16610]

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?

[@thenewjimnychannel361]

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👍

[@MrSoeley]

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!

[@thenewjimnychannel361]

Thank you Mr Soeley. 👍

[@polkinnen1501]

can you tell more about the 40 ah to the 70ah swap batterie. what has to be changed? thx for your vids :)

[@thenewjimnychannel361]

The 70ah battery had to be trimmed on the bottom foundation. Other than that nothing else 👍

[@zumezoom9593]

With all them upgrades did you have to Re-gear? What size tires are those? Is that the maximum size?

[@Wolfie3333]

I envy you. But well done

[@davidc1961utube]

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.

[@vassyakun01]

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.

[@jdexplores01]

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.

[@thenewjimnychannel361]

Absolutely right, but that vehicle would not go anywhere in snow ❄️😄

[@arturmarques5528]

i'm brazilian, i liked the video, i'm planning to buy a jimny, and make some modifications too. Is the total value of your modification in dollars?

[@thenewjimnychannel361]

Yes, American dollars

[@ronnkangalee9977]

Are those fenders available to order from somewhere ?

[@thenewjimnychannel361]

Hi Ron, you can send an e-mail to the shop and ask them if they ship internationally! They’re e-mail is: [e-mail]. 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 👍😅

I really want to have this car in Vietnam, how can I buy it to bring it back to Vietnam, what is the customs procedure?

[@goodman5554]

What's the lift inch high?

[@thenewjimnychannel361]

Only 2” lift👍

[@ullie76]

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)

[@thenewjimnychannel361]

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 💰
