It didn’t take long … for talented artists and designers to come up with their modified versions of the new Jimny five-door XL. Ben Sexton, who has an after-market accessories business at Burpengary on Brisbane’s northside, has crafted this unit (above). Ben has given us the okay to use this caricature that takes a few liberties with the original Jimny XL factory design. Love your work Ben.

Amber bought her Jimny as a promise to herself to foster her independence, be apart of a community and build self-confidence. She loves the opportunities to go on adventures with her dog Toby and is at the beach with him any chance she gets.

Amber could never decide on a name for her Jimny, but all her friends & family refer to “Amber and her Lil Jimmy”, so she’s rolling with that!

Amber’s most memorable experience was her first trip four days after picking up her Jimny, by day two of ownership, she had booked in her first modifications at ARB North Lakes and two days after that she headed straight up to Double Island. She remembers driving on the beach for the first time and experiencing so much genuine happiness and being 100% sure that she had made the right choice. With 25000kms on the clock less than 9 months in, you can tell she has taken every opportunity she can to adventure with her Jimny!

You can argue that she is biased since their friendship, but Paris’s rig from ‘Her Jimny’ is my #1 inspiration. Almost every modification is on Amber’s extremely long to do list!

Amber will always recommended Teewah as the first go to for anyone wanting to beach drive & camp. It’s absolutely stunning and great for a first timer, but just make sure you look at the tides otherwise you’ll end up on the wall at Rainbow Beach Hotel!

The 8th annual Suzuki Social, hosted by the North Brisbane Suzuki 4×4 Club (NBS4x4), took over Janowen Hills 4WD and Camping Park from October 10–12, bringing together Suzuki enthusiasts from across Australia for a weekend of four-wheel-driving, camping, and community spirit.
This year’s event was truly one to remember, breaking records for both attendance and fundraising. More than 180 Suzukis filled the park, ranging from classic LJ and Sierra models through to the latest Jimnys, and even a few custom-built Suzuki buggies. Not just for the Queensland locals, visitors travelled from all corners of the country, including New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, and Western Australia, to be part of the action.
As always, exploring Janowen’s scenic tracks and testing their Zook’s capabilities in great company was an event highlight. The atmosphere throughout the weekend was electric, a mix of campfire camaraderie, good humour, and shared passion for the Suzuki brand.
The Saturday night camp feast, prepared by the famous Ranger Nick, proved a standout moment. Guests were treated to hearty servings of beef stew and lamb curry, followed by scones and fruit cobbler for dessert, a true taste of campfire comfort food at its best.
But the biggest success of all came from the event’s charity raffle, which raised a staggering $15,104 for Dig In, a Brisbane-based not-for-profit that provides meals to people experiencing hardship. It marks the highest total ever raised through the Suzuki Social, showcasing the generosity and community spirit that define the event.
The Suzuki Social continues to grow each year, celebrating not just the vehicles that bring us together, but the people, stories, and friendships that make the Suzuki community so special. None of it would be possible without the incredible attendees, sponsors, and supporters who show up year after year. Your enthusiasm, generosity, and passion for all things Suzuki are what keep the spirit of the Suzuki Social alive and thriving.

After a weekend hitting the tracks, the last thing you want is to spend hours cleaning out your Jimny. That’s where rubber floor mats come in. They make life so much easier—just shake out the dirt, give them a quick rinse, and you’re good to go. No more worrying about sand, mud, or spills ruining your carpet. They’re tough, easy to clean, and made to handle whatever your adventures throw at them.
