Peach Overlanding

Peach Overlanding I’m a laid-back South African kid with a heart condition, but that doesn’t stop me from living life to the fullest.

Whether it’s tackling tough 4×4 trails or exploring the great unknown through overlanding, I’m all about pushing the limits! Whether it’s tackling tough 4×4 trails or exploring the great unknown through overlanding, I’m all about pushing the limits and making every moment count. Adventure isn’t just a hobby—it’s a way of life. Join me as I navigate the wild terrains, defy the odds, and turn every

challenge into a story worth telling. The name Peach comes from Princess Peach in Super Mario, and since my name is Mario, it just fits perfectly. I started this blog to share tips on modifying the Suzuki JB74 for off-roading and to document my adventures with this build. The idea for the blog came when I was searching for information about the Jimny and had to dig through endless forum pages to find what I needed. Now, I aim to make it easier for fellow enthusiasts by putting everything in one place.

Ok so they might have grown on me😏

New beadlocks all set up and ready to go! Thought I would hate them but I reckon they look prettydarn good 💅 The Jimny build is pretty much where I want it, while still being road legal (if we can call it that!)

Up next a heavily modified tow rig to tow the heavily modified Jimny? 🤣 The cycle never ends…

PS! The audio is a joke, my other car has black rims 🫣🥲

Huge thanks to .sa & for the help installing these! 👌✌️

So these are actual beadlocks (got sick of debeading tyres!) and they weight so much less than the steel rims. The tyres stick out a tad bit more as-well so she feel more stable on the road.

That being said we reach the point where the Jimny needs to just become the rock-crawler and all the Overlanding gear needs to move on.

One thing I’ve learned with the Jimny: keeping weight low makes a massive difference off-road.

Whether it’s packing gear or running a long-range tank, the lower the centre of gravity, the more planted the car feels on climbs and side angles.

Small rig = big balance game. 🍑🛻

Fun was had drag racing a Jimny 🏆 We may not have been the fastest but what a vibe!

That turbo set up with the massive tyres is still faster that a nearly stock Jimny but just! (Probably my s**t driving hey!)

Will definitely be back next year! Maybe with something a bit faster 🫣

This car will always be apart of my garage but maybe it is time to add another overland rig. Then this little Jimny can become the rockcrawler, she was destined to be 🧐

Peach still got some tricks up her sleeve, like these bling beadlocks 😅 not sure if I am sold on them though ✌️😭

Not bad flex for these big boi tyres 🤣•

We all start stock…

Then one day you wake up with beadlocks, a turbo, and a long-range tank wondering where it all went wrong (or right?) 🤷‍♂️😂

At least I don’t have to stop at every fuel stop now, thanks to the long range tank.

Fan mail from the traffic department! 💅 Bet they didn’t know it was a Jimny 🫣🤣

Very happy with all the work that has been done over the past few month. Just a broken bolt to drill out and figure out this annoying indicator issue.

Then maybe somw beadlocks 👀 What do you reckon should be the next mod?

The Jimny hates roof weight… so I went LT50. After a bunch of wind, gravel and mountain passes, here’s what actually matters (and what I’d skip).

Full review 👉

My honest review of the Alu-Cab LT50 rooftop tent after real-world testing. Lightweight, durable, and perfect for smaller rigs like the Suzuki Jimny.

A lot of people think long-range tanks are only about fuel capacity — but the real benefit is how it changes weight distribution. 🧐

With the tank mounted low and central, Peach feels far more stable off-road, especially on steep inclines.

No more sketchy moments when the front lifts — just smooth, predictable traction.

Bonus: I’ve ditched the rear jerry cans and roof load. Less weight up high = way better handling.

Even after a proper mud recovery this weekend, the tank’s still spotless underneath — no damage, no drama. 💅
