Boxy SUVs with solid axles and impeccable off-road capabilities are a favorite of almost everyone. For this reason, the Maruti Suzuki Jimny is being discussed in the minds of the enthusiasts. After all, we’ve all seen the international-spec model with the ARB pulley-compatible bumper, which looks brutal. Furthermore, the Old Man Emu suspension is widely admired by Jimny owners across the world. Owners in India are not running behind in the race as we now have an India-spec Jimny with ARB winch-compatible bumpers and Old Man Emu suspension. The SUV also gets a top rack shod with chunky MT tyres.
We found this modified example via the YouTube channel of Swastik Fabs, a well-known name among off-road enthusiasts for their customization business. In the clip, the Jimny can be seen undergoing a transformation exercise, and it comes out as a bold looking car. Also, the new bumper gives the Jimny an increased approach angle and more clearance.
The suspension upgrade also helps in additional ground clearance. Talking about the roof rack, it will come in handy for stowing some luggage or jerry cans on top without compromising on boot space. Overall, this is a very practical setup for those planning an overland expedition with their possessions.
