Hi Iain, copied your video and left bulkhead in place just removing the mesh and metal straps, the extra movement on the seating has made a huge difference to our comfort. Many thanks.

[@seth8005]

I would love to get that nice flat cover for my never used back seats and saves some weight taking back seats out.

[@bigjd2k]

Took the whole thing out of my Jimny LCV and now the seats recline nicely, and the passenger seat reclines right down, if you remove the headrest you can cover it in a blanket and carry long, bulky items the length of the cabin 😀

[@stephenl1027]

Will you get a full 8ft timber length in, corner to corner, sitting up on the dash? I don’t have my Jimny yet and I don’t really want to turn up for a test drive with a massive 2x4

[@rf575]

Waiting for mine from Falkirk! This has given me hope!

[@Rezus17]

Me too! Are you on the waiting list?

[@rf575]

@@Rezus17 Nope! Picking mine up Friday!

[@stephenharrison1240]

Great video! I am happy to leave mesh and bulkhead in place, as I’ll be carrying lots of dogs and only short distances. But I am considering removing the black panels as per your video and put in a wooden floor to create a few more inches of headroom for the dogs and training equipment. Any comments?

[@thomaspendlebury4222]

Very cool video thanks

[@adamchambers5422]

Very informative and professional video!

[@dondle2]

Great wee video Ian, hope to pick mine up from Falkirk within the next couple of weeks. I am just a shortarse at 5ft 7in, but reckon that I will do as you have done. With the passenger seat shoved forward and reclined back fully, should be able to carry longer items when required. Thanks for your helpful film.

[@GianmicheleArrighetti]

Hi Lain, Thank you very much! Nice and interesting video.

[@pim1234]

great vid !! tnx

[@rogercantwell3622]

I'm 5'10". Just went and tried sitting in my new LCV at the dealer. The mesh and partition will both have to go. Legroom is ok but the seat is absolutely bolt upright.

[@paulblakeley7095]

Thanks for posting

[@IanPayne]

It looks the same as my sz5 but it is missing the isofix brackets. I would say you can fit rear seats to it.

[@mrh5505]

I've taken the mesh off on mine and made a couple of brackets up to hold the bulkhead. 🙂👍

[@LS-gr9vr]

Very usefull vidéo thx

[@MrFriendlyp]

Great video Ian. I'm 6ft 6" and have just bought one ...so I plan to remove the bulkhead and seat and sit in the back...I'm only joking of course.

[@giannisgeorgiadis6083]

hi! i am 6.7 ft tall. do you think i can be comfortable in jimny?

[@stephenl1027]

Hi Ian. Thanks for your video. I’m 6 foot dead do you reckon I could do a long drive in the Jimny with the bulkhead out and the seat reclined a bit? Also did you consider popping the drivers seat out and remounting the runners to take advantage of that bit of extra space?

[@iles1995]

If you're thinking of selling the metal bulkhead, I'm an SZ5 owner with a dog.. would love to get my hands on one of those haha. Drop me a PM!

[@zivshanmugam]

Would you be able to install rear passenger seats?

[@albertsnijders7566]

Will do mine too. One question though, can you still pass the yearly car inspection with your LCV Jimny without bulkhead? Or do you have to install it again before inspection?

[@stephenw7298]

Hi Iain. I am about to take delivery of my Jimny in a few weeks and am of a similar size to yourself. Did you do any further modifications to make the seat position more suitable? Thanks.

[@timday6087]

Nice video. At 6ft I've also had to take the bulkhead out of my Commercial Jimny, I just need to find a way to modify the mounting bars so that it's set back a couple of inches as I need the grill for my dog! Have you had any issues with the tyre pressure monitoring system? Apparently it's a new system which requires a tool to reset, and mine has been flashing since I got it (my car is the second car from the same dealer).

[@samuelston]

I’ve got exactly the same issue with the TPMS, its a right pain. Hopefully get it sorted soon!!

[@dafydddavies9256]

Brilliant Iain, I am in exactly the same position - the distance to the pedals is not such an issue its the ramrod backrest which is causing backpain. Now you have removed the mesh and bulkhead do you think reversing the wire mesh and placing it back might give me a couple of mm?

[@samuelston]

I have put the solid part of the bulkhead back in with no top fixings as they have had to be removed. It sits nicely on the bottom mounts and rests on the seat, stops stuff rattling into the seat back if I have to stop suddenly.

[@dafydddavies9256]

@@samuelston Sounds like a plan Iain, I will give it a go - your video by the way was excellent.

[@marcelsacksen]

I have moved the whole assemby back about 15 cms by attaching it to the blanked off nuts above and below the rear window.

[@dogcommunication]

hi would you be able to post a photo of this please?

[@marcelsacksen]

@@dogcommunication Sorry I can’t seem to find the option to add a photo to my comment…

[@bristolwoodburners81]

Ah yes - a video of that would be super useful...its exactly what i came here looking for x

[@mrh5505]

I'm sure you could adapt the bulkhead with some alterations to the bulkhead brackets ?

[@stefmif]

Did it make any difference in seating comfort after removing bulkhead, net and metal arms?

[@samuelston]

Hi. Yes I can tilt the seat back as far as I want now, makes a tremendous difference if you are tall. 👍

[@Karl_Burton]

Is it legal to fit back seats ?

[@theloneranger2101]

Well done to get the Commercial Jimmy so soon, I thought it was going to be a few more months before they were at the dealerships. Can I ask did you get a good deal for it? how much did it cost? if you don't mind me asking? 👍🙂👍

[@pim1234]

Bought one new in The Netherlands last March and due to taxes I had to pay 36000,- EUR

[@giannisgeorgiadis6083]

great video! nice work! i am 6.7 ft tall. do you think i can be comfortable in jimny?

[@bonsaika65]

I am 6ft tall and i am not confortable in it... You got your answer ;)

[@callum4035]

Hello do you know if this one is built in Japan still like the non commercial or in India, could you have a look at your black vin plate under the bonnet and it will say there if it’s a japan or Indian built Thanks

[@bonsaika65]

Got mine in sept21 (in france). It's made in Japan.

[@JosesBWK]

noice!

Can I ask how much these are retailing at including the Vat?

[@samuelston]

They are about £20k inc vat

[@bonsaika65]

[@marcaccio123]

in my country it is not possible to remove it (the law does not allow it). Do you think can I modify the attacks to move the bulkhead 10 cm back?

[@samuelston]

I considered this too, I might try to modify it.

[@marcaccio123]

@@samuelston please let me know . Thanks

[@vasdaris]

I'm planning to buy one soon. Removing the bulkhead is the way to go for now. Using spacers or a customized part would be great. Especially if you can fold it or remove it easily so that you can use the passenger seat for extra space of as a bed for an adventure trip...

[@bonsaika65]

@@vasdaris you won't be able to use that extra space : the seat doesn't fold forward

[@pim1234]

How tall are you ?

[@pim1234]

Maybe you can move it backward with spacers and then using the original screw holes

[@WreckItRolfe]

It's a REAL shame the bulkhead wasn't designed to be reversed in some way. The mesh halves can be moved backwards but not the bottom plate - which also can't be fixed with the mesh moved backwards due to it affixing to the mesh when installed. Even an extra inch would have made a big difference.

[@adamrussell1997]

I was looking into a jimny and was about the pre order one when they went off sale, i wouldn't pay that price for it. Its £5000 more from the current facelift model when it wasreleased in that spec. Unless ur van reg it wouldn't be a problem but u should just get a hilux. Well you could just put in some land rover defender bench seats and u have seats in the back😂

[@vangalamaheshwari139]

I like 3 doors jimny

[@Dylanesque]

6' 2" and you buy a mini off roader? 🤭 My friend is 6' 4" and during the summer months drives an MG Midget. After squeezing himself into the driver's seat he makes the car look like a toy. No matter... I presently own a 2018 impreza hatchback and have recently looked at a Jimny. Just the two seater. Would love to own one but the 6 month waiting list is completely ridiculous.

[@pioneerz450]

It's incredible that this is how stuff ends up these days. A two year old Jimny wih four seats now sells for almost 160% of the list price of a brand new one. Suzuki obviously doesn't care since there is still a waiting list on the car. They're just happy about that. It's alovely car tough.

[@miteamihai1132]

Hi mate i'm also 6.2 and it's rather uncomfortable for a long distance drive. I'm thinking to remove the bulkhead as well , did the ride comfort increase after you removed the bulkhead ?
