A Japanese tuning shop now sells a bolt on package that gives the Suzuki Jimny the face of a Toyota. If you have seen online photos of a Jimny that suddenly resembles a Hilux Champ, the sections below spell out the facts in plain language.
Garage Ill, a small tuner based in Japan, molds the parts. The set is called “CH:AMP.” It replaces the original Jimny hood, fenders, grille, lights and bumper with new pieces shaped like those on the Toyota Hilux Champ. No Toyota staff helped design or approve the parts.
The donor look comes from the Hilux Champ, a low cost, two door pickup sold in Southeast Asia. That same front end will appear on Toyota's upcoming “baby” Land Cruiser FJ. The Champ has a blunt, upright nose, flat grille and rectangular headlights - the Jimny kit copies those cues exactly.
The core kit ships with a new grille that carries “CH:AMP” lettering, a pair of rectangular headlights plus a two piece bumper. Every piece arrives unpainted black. Buyers who want more can order extra parts - lowering springs that drop the body 1.5 inches, brown or black seat covers that mimic 1980s fabric, a steel rear bumper, Baja-style fog lamps, a throatier muffler and either decorative or working tow hooks.
The parts bolt straight onto the three door Jimny Sierra and the five door Jimny Nomad. They do not fit the narrow kei class Jimny sold only in Japan.
The bare front end set lists at ¥360 800 (about $2 300) with halogen headlights. The LED version costs ¥386 100 (around $2 500). Paint but also installation are billed separately. Seat covers add roughly $560; a pair of real tow hooks costs about $640.
