The Suzuki Jimny is, arguably, one of the most lovable off-roaders on the market today. It’s boxy, good looking, capable, and compact – and it’s a darn shame that it’s not sold in the US.

That stings especially hard, since Japanese company Dream Automotive Design and Development, otherwise known as DAMD, is selling kits that help people turn their Jimnys into adorable, miniature versions of the Ford Bronco, Land Rover Defender, and Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen.

Check out some of DAMD’s offerings below, and make note of the kit you’ll order once the current-generation Jimny becomes legal to import to the US in 2043.


The “Little G” is DAMD’s tribute to the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen.

It takes the Mercedes G-Wagen — a sign of opulence and excess — and shrinks it down to a more manageable size.

The kit comes in black, pearl white, and several other colors …

… and sports quilted, suede-feel seat covers to match its luxurious exterior.

It comes complete with a tiny ladder out back, and is set to go on sale later this year.

Plus, starting later this year, DAMD will sell a kit that lets Jimny owners transform their SUV to look like an original 1970s Jimny.

Depending on the SUV you'd like to emulate, a full kit will run you roughly $5,100 to $8,500 at current exchange rates.

You'll need a bit of DIY know-how to attach all of the necessary parts, but you've got plenty of time to sort that out — 2018 Jimnys won't be legal to import to the US until 2043.
