A Jim Ride body kit is fitted

The Jimny Sierra by K-BREAK shown here has the full-on lowrider vibe that was popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The parts are from K-BREAK’s private brand ‘JIMRIDE’, which means ‘riding on a Jimny’, and include a body kit. The parts consist of a classic grille, Samurai front bumper, side steps, over wings, Samurai rear bumper, and rear wing, as well as a spare tire transfer kit and spare tire cover.

A custom-built Ideal air suspension was selected for the suspension, which is essential for a lowrider. The wheels are the fully plated 15-inch KMC ‘Terminator’ wheels and Yokohama ‘Advan Neova’ tires for an attractive combination.

This lowrider-like design gives the vehicle a retro feel

The Jimny Sierra looks very cool with its ride height lowered to the limit and over wings installed to give it a sturdy stance. The shiny candy red livery is also very cool. There was a time when body colors with intricate patterns and designs were popular among low-riders, but the candy-red approach was the mainstay of this approach at the beginning. This ‘Jim Ride Samurai Jimny Low Rider’ expresses the specifications that were popular in those days with the modern Jimny Sierra.

The Low Rider’s theme is a design that dares to give a retro feel, such as the front and rear bumpers that reproduce an old-fashioned truck-like texture by combining stainless steel and steel, and the addition of corner markers that assert the US-specification feel of the vehicle. It will also serve as a Jimny custom part to create a retro look that makes you nostalgic for the old days.

While there are various customization approaches for the Jimny/Jimny Sierra, a remake technique based on the Low Rider has emerged anew. If you look at this car carefully without a theme, it looks cute, depending on how you look at it. And from other angles, it looks hard-edged.

All of this is balanced coolness, and at the root of this expression is the mix of old car tastes that is K-BREAK’s forte. It is precisely because of this skillful design and construction that it is possible to create a cool and cute look that is so appealing.
