So Long, Sedan
Growing up in Australia, Holmes discovered a passion for the outdoors at a young age. As she chased a career in photography, she was in need of a vehicle that could keep up with both pursuits. Shockingly, her sedan wasn’t up to the task. The Jimny turned out to be the perfect fit: capable, competent and nimble. It also gave Holmes a great way to dive deeper into the world of wheeling and wrenching.
A Blank Canvas
When Holmes brought the Jimny home, it was ready for any and every kind of mod. To start, she added a bull bar and transfer case guard for more protection on the trails. She replaced the back seats with rubber flooring to create extra storage space. Next, Holmes installed some smaller accessories to make life off the road a little easier: additional lighting, a snorkel, a UHF radio, a folding table on the back door, and a second battery under the bonnet for more power. And last but not least, she fitted a two-inch lift and began her search for a tire that could stand up to Australia’s diverse terrain.
