The Owner
Mia runs the Jimny as a dedicated trail toy alongside a normal family car, so it could be built harder without worrying about daily comfort.
Base Vehicle
2020 JB74 auto, chosen for relaxed low-speed crawling, then lifted and shod for serious terrain.
The Build
Suspension
- 40 mm coil lift with matched shocks
- Extended brake lines and diff breathers
Wheels & Tyres
- 235/75 R15 mud-terrains on steel wheels
- Rear ladder + spare relocation
Protection
- Full skid-plate set
- Heavy-duty rock sliders
- Rear recovery point
The Story
With the auto’s smooth power delivery, the lift and grippier rubber, Trailhead crawls the Victorian high country with surprising composure. Mia’s done most of the work in her own garage.
