Jimny’s one-of-a-kind 4×4 attitude and capability attracts off-road loving, fun-loving, style-loving legends. We call them Jimniacs. They’re out in their Jimnys, having adventures, getting dirty, driving over stuff that is difficult to drive over.
If you’re a current Jimny owner – or wish you were – this is THE place to get your Jimny fix. So, buckle up and get ready to smile until your face hurts💚
Let’s make it official. Chuck in your deets and join the tribe to get first access to awesome Jimny offers, free stuff, discounts, merch and more. You’ll be in with a grin.
And here’s the heart of the matter when it comes to four-wheel-drive systems … the Jimny has a part-time 4WD system with three modes: The first is two-wheel-drive-high-range (2H) which delivers better fuel economy and enhanced cornering on paved roads. The second is four-wheel-drive-high (4H) which provides extra grip needed for off-road use – primarily slippery surfaces like snow and sand.
The third mode is four-wheel-drive-Low (4L) which uses a transfer gear to deliver even more torque at low speeds enabling the Jimny to climb very steep hills and traverse rugged terrain. The shift lever provides the driver with a better feel than dash-mounted buttons used on the previous Jimny. It also eliminates the chance of a selection button malfunctioning due to spilt drinks or dust ingress. Bottom line: Two gear levers – true four wheel-drive.
While the timber-sided “woodie” has been a mark of American wagons since the 1920’s, we couldn’t help but notice the treatment one owner has applied to this Jimny. What originally began as timber-constructed wagon areas behind steel cabins, in the 1920’s, later morphed into style-sided fibreglass appliques to station wagons during the 1960’s.
Surfmania, including some catchy references in songs by the Beach Boys (look it up Millennials), helped drive the popularity of the woody. But clearly, it now has reached its zenith as the photo at left shows.
Sarah and Barry tied the knot on Woorim Beach, Bribie, at a dog-friendly access point—because their pup had to be part of the fun! Their beloved Jimny, Cookie, was right there too, turning heads as the couple cruised along the sand with their photographer and videographer in tow. Blessed with the only sunny day in weeks, the beach 4×4 adventure became one of the day’s most memorable moments, full of laughter and spontaneous shots. The backyard reception overflowed with homemade baked goods and woodfire pizzas, and after it all, Cookie carried them off on a rainy-but-magical Blue Mountains honeymoon road trip.
Learn more about Sarah and Barry (and Cookie) below.
Sarah and Barry (@cookie.the.jimny) love adventuring in their Jimny, Cookie, and exploring this beautiful place we call home. They love to camp, cook outdoors & explore with their adventure-loving dog (and a jealous cat that wishes she could joint too).
Their favourite memory in Cookie was their wedding photos just after the ceremony (obvi! – see the full detail above).
The most drool-worthy Jimny in their opinion is @toyzuki_4x4, they think it’s such a cool concept of a car!
On Sarah & Barry’s local bucket list is Blackdown Tableland National Park 4×4 Drive.
Their off-road rec is Booloumba Falls in Kenilworth! It’s an easy-moderate drive through Booloumba Creek and up through the forest to the car park with a 3km round trip to a beautiful swim hole at the base of one of the falls!
Emerald (@emerald_western) is a 22-year-old from Gladstone, QLD, who works full-time in Engineering. She loves a good laugh and keeps life balanced with camping trips, epic views and even better people. She has a soft spot for memories and knows she’ll remember every single one made in her Jimny.
She just calls her Jimny – Suzi, though her mates like to joke that it’s more of a chest freezer!
Emerald’s favourite memory in Suzi has to be Fraser Island — she loved how easy and capable the drive was, making the whole trip unforgettable.
The most drool-worthy Jimny in her opinion is definitely @the_little_rig, it’s simple, tough and done right.
On Emerald’s local bucket list is Five Rocks National Park. She loves the area but still hasn’t ticked it off (yet!).
Her off-road recs? Fraser Island is a must if you haven’t done it already, along with Eurimbula National Park!
Merch made for the Jimny fans who know the moments matter!
Once it’s gone, it’s history.
