Great honest review, change out you connection hose from the snorkel to the airbox. It’s adding restriction. Another great mod is the KAON shelf. It’s awesome. 100% agree on the throttle controller.
Thanks so much! Yes maybe I should get a new connection hose now that you mention it 🤙🏽 Might consider getting a shelf too but I do have passengers in the back now and then so might just be a tad bit restricting that way but it looks great!
Thanks so much for your video. My 26yo daughter has just taken delivery of a black 5 door, coming from an MG SUV, and wants to try 4WD and camping down here in Vic and before even seeing your video has already made a list of mods that you have done. The only thing she is unhappy about is the power, no arm rest, extra cup holders etc. As a father I want her to make the right choices so your video has helped so much thank you again and cant wait to see what mods you put on the XL
Hey! Thanks so much that's awesome to hear. Yeah the power is a bit annoying not going to lie but luckily the small things like an armrest etc is easier to purchase and of course cheaper. It's not the strongest 4wd, far from, but it performs really well off-road due to it's weight and I think it's probably going to be an excellent entry-4x4 for her if she's just getting into it! :)

Love the amount of detail you went with everything, I just picked up my jimny the other day and your page has been a inspiration to my love of the jimny up the zooks 👍
Hello Marlin, as always this is a great video for us, the Jimny’s enthusiasts! I would like to purchase the Meredith metalworks snorkel and the torqit air box, I hope you can explain more about what you do to connect them. My best from Mexico
Just discovered your channel, moving to QLD in the next few months from the UK and a Jimny is my dream car once I'm there. Your mods are pretty much exactly what i have in mind for my own so im sure your bio list will come in handy, cheers!
Love your Jimny! I've just ordered a 5dr XL and keen to upgrade some components, so very interested to how you customise your new XL! However, I was curious, what do you do with all the standard factory components? 🤔
Thank you! Usually I sell them to people or give them away if I can’t sell them 😊 just depends what it is really! There will be heaps of XL content coming soon so stay tuned!
Love the full run through of your mods! Regarding your speaker upgrade, the link on your page goes to speaker bracket mounts. Did you just install these, or change out the speaker entirely? I've been thinking about upgrading the front sound system for some time but am curious your thoughts as to how far this should go (super new to sound sytem mods, sorry). Would also be keen for a video on this if you haven't yet done an install for the 5 door :)
Hey! You actually just need to replace the speaker in the front and add the bracket on, it was quite easy from memory and I was brand new to it too back then so you'll be fine just working your way through a few YT videos and have a go!
Are the central cup tray and armrest etc also compatible with the 5 door? I have a 5 door auto on order and i'm struggling to find what accessories will still work as most are shown on 3 doors. (So excited for you to start delving into the 5 door!)
Thanks Marlin you’re Jimny has turned out super cool. I love every mod you have done to it . I’m very impressed how you had done almost every mod yourself well done. I have to wait for few more years until I can afford one. I have just bought a 2009 GV vitara which I’m slowly building up my self . So looking forward to seeing the Xl getting built up 😊
There is no reason to cut into the body of a jimny that’s under warranty for a snorkel. You void the warranty and instead can install a ow profile snorkel
One of the most good-looking and sensible modded JB74 units
Thank you :D

Ah that's awesome to hear, and congrats on your new Jimny! 😁🎉
The vid we've all been waiting for!! Great rundown Marlin
Thanks so much girl 😍
Fantastic car! The first thing I did to my Gen 4 was install some radial cup protectors. Glad I did as the following week I smacked one on a rock! 🙈
Your Jimmy looks fantastic! Congratulations! I'm from Brazil, and I'm also customizing my car! Thanks for sharing!

Oh best of luck with the move! That’s awesome to hear 😁👍🏽
Awesome m9dification ... I like it ❤❤❤
Hi, Great Vid, just a question on the 5 door upgrade, did you do the radius arm when you installed the fulcrum lift?
Yes I did! I have the new radius arms on both the 3 and 5 door :)
Omg! Hadn’t even realised you were back to uploading yay!
Ooh yes I’m on it again 🤩🫶🏽
Tell me more about the airbox please.

Yes it would be compatible with the 5 door too 😁 thank you!!
What do you use for recovery points on the vehicle?
I have the TAG towbar installed now for rear recovery points 😊
What do you use to get the tires and mudguards so black?
Tyre shine for the tyres - but for the mudguards, I only try to use some cleaning materials that have shine or wax in them 🎉
Front and back bumper upgrade
I’m on it!!
Do you have diff breathers?
No not yet! Will get it soon though 😊
