Sammie (@samzukii) is a passionate Jimniac who got her first Jimny in 2022 (GLX manual Grey) and upgraded to her dream Jimny (GLX automatic Black) in 2024. Sammie’s most memorable experience with her Jimny was her first time driving on the beach. She ended up bogged with the tide coming in! Despite burning the clutch, she had a supportive group around her, and three kind guys pushed her out. From there, it was smooth sailing!
When it comes to drool-worthy Jimnys, Sammie is obsessed with @retrozook. The uniqueness and effort put into such a fabulous build are truly impressive!
Moreton Island is high on her bucket list. With its stunning blue water and white sand, it’s a dream destination for Sammie.
For an off-road recommendation, Sammie suggests Mt Mee in the D’Aguilar National Park and Bribie Island!
Sammie is also an admin for Jimny Girls QLD. She loves helping others and enjoys organizing beach and camping trips with fellow Jimny enthusiasts.
Jimny Girls QLD is a Facebook group where women can share their passion for the Jimny! Whether it’s about trips, advice on modifications, or mechanical tips, the page provides a great platform for women to learn about the amazing little 4WD. The group empowers Jimny girls to get out and explore the beautiful country, all while fostering a supportive community. They love their community 🩷

Charlotte (diet.jimny) has been a proud Jimny owner for over three years. In that time, she’s created countless amazing memories, met some of her closest friends, and discovered her passion for exploring the outdoors. She loves how capable the Jimny is, calling it the perfect little 4WD for both beginners and experienced drivers. Charlotte hasn’t given her Jimny a nickname yet, but her username, ‘diet.jimny,’ is a cheeky nod to her Jimny Lite model. Her favorite memory with her Jimny is her first off-road trip at the Glasshouse Mountains. It was a wet and muddy day where she quickly learned the basics of 4WDing, pushing her out of her comfort zone and sparking her love for off-roading.
The Jimny build she admires most is @g.ken004, which she finds truly inspiring.
Byfield National Park is at the top of her bucket list, and she’s hoping to explore it this year.
For an off-road recommendation, Charlotte suggests the CREB Track in the Daintree Rainforest. It’s one of her favorite tracks so far and a must-do for any 4WD enthusiast!

Aliesha (alieshasadventures) grew up surrounded by Suzuki magic, learning to drive in her grandparents’ ’84 Sierra on their farm. Now, she’s living her best life with her own Zook, adventuring with her high school sweetheart and their two dogs—a Kelpie x and a rescued greyhound. Together, they hit campgrounds and tackle off-road challenges. One of her most memorable experiences with “Patches the Zook” was a day trip to Mount Mee. It was a convoy of 12 Jimnys, and Aliesha had an absolute blast conquering trails with fellow Zook enthusiasts. Her inner 12-year-old was squealing with joy the entire time!
When it comes to drool-worthy Jimnys, Aliesha loves “The Little Rig.” Not only is it an amazing build, but the owner’s resilience and creativity in turning a damaged Jimny into a Ute after a mishap is truly inspiring.
On her bucket list is a trip to Rainbow Beach. Although she’s visited many times, she’s yet to take her Jimny there!
For an off-road recommendation, Aliesha suggests Kenilworth Boolumba Creek, just an hour from the Sunshine Coast.

DRIVING STRAIGHT TO DREAMLAND
Some people dream about owning a Suzuki Jimny and others …. well, they take it to a different level. And if your name is Walter Hartley, then you’re about 10 steps ahead of the pack. That’s Walter showing off his one-of-a-kind bed which was commissioned by his father. With an opening door and a single bed inside, Walter gets to sleep in his Jimny every night. How cool is that! The only problem is that when mum Kaitlin and dad Matt try to get him to go to sleep, it now takes at least half an hour or more rather than the 10 minutes it took previously in a ‘standard’ bed. Opening doors, roof rack, exhaust snorkel – this kid’s present for his second birthday scoops the pool.

Halle (hals.jimny) is a Criminology and Justice student from Bundaberg, currently studying on the Sunshine Coast. She enjoys surfing, horseback riding, bouldering, camping, and 4WDing with her Suzuki Jimny, “Dusty,” which is the perfect companion for her outdoor adventures. Her favorite experience is when people in larger 4WDs underestimate Dusty, only to watch in surprise as it handles the terrain effortlessly. She finds their reactions priceless.
The Jimny rig she admires most is @the_little_rig, which is one of the most unique Jimnys and has accomplished Cape York.
Moreton Island is on her bucket list for its combination of beach driving, clear waters, and stunning dunes, making it her perfect adventure destination.
For an off-road recommendation, Halle highly suggests Double Island/Teewah Beach. With stunning views, amazing wildlife, and an easy navigation path, it’s a spot she loves. She also enjoys seeing other Jimnys there, and the surf can be a lot of fun, so she advises bringing surfboards!

Derek (jacko_the_zook) works as a physio, travelling around Australia to rural locations, and enjoys exploring these areas in his Jimny, which he has nicknamed “Jacko The Zook.” In his spare time, Dez enjoys surfing, going to the gym, hiking, practicing martial arts, and going on food adventures. One of his most memorable experiences with his Jimny was crossing the Nullarbor and exploring the beautiful white beaches of Esperance.
Dez is particularly drawn to the impressive overseas Jimny builds like @yodathejimny and @iron_bison_jb74. Closer to home, he admires the Ute-chopped Jimnys of @the_little_rig, @bustalime_jimny, and @toyzuki_4x4.
The Old Telegraph Track on his way to the tip of Cape York is on his bucket list.
For an off-road recco, Dez suggests driving on 75 Mile Beach at K’gari. It’s a stunning beach where you can drive for miles, with beautiful scenery and plenty to see and do, making it a highlight of any trip.

JIMNY FEATURES
Jimny, the compact, go-anywhere, off-road superhero, isn’t afraid to roll up its sleeves – and has enough grunt to tow a tinnie and trailer up to 1,300kg (braked), or 350kg without brakes. Fun times on four wheels or no wheels – it’s your choice!
JIMNY GOES GLOBAL
Cop this… did you know that in some places around the world, Jimny is a crucial member of the police force? In Italy, the special forces police (or Carabinieri to locals) have 10 Jimnys in their vehicle fleet. These decked-out Jimnys are able to reach difficult-to-access places other vehicles simply can’t.
A little closer to home, the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary also has a fleet of Jimnys in their police force, helping them to access mountainous areas.
