Japanese tuner creates mini Ford Bronco lookalike from Suzuki Jimny
Japanese tuner Garage Ill has introduced a body kit for the Suzuki Jimny that transforms it into a miniature Ford Bronco lookalike. Named the “Bron55,” this kit includes a Bronco-style grille, round headlamps, blinkers, corner markers, and body panel stays. The transformation gives the Jimny a distinctive Bronco-inspired appearance.
Unfortunately, the Suzuki Jimny required for this kit is not available in the U.S., and the Bron55 kit itself is exclusively sold in Japan. However, it is relatively affordable, with the grille and headlight set priced at around $1,069 for halogen-equipped models and a fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) bumper costing $553. Garage Ill even offers a “value set” that includes the grille, headlight set, and bumper for $1,475 (halogen-equipped models) or $1,652 (LED-equipped models). Installation services and painting are also available through the company.
The Suzuki Jimny has gained popularity among tuners, with some customizing it to resemble other off-road vehicles. Despite not being officially available in the U.S., the Jimny continues to captivate American enthusiasts, and some dealers import them through unique channels, albeit at a higher cost.
