The Famous From Her Hands Jimny, Meet “Patches” (MOD LIST)

If you’ve been following From Her Hands for a while, you’ll already know my pride and joy. My Suzuki Jimny, affectionately named “Patches.”

She’s small, mighty, and full of personality (just like her owner 😜). What started as a dream turned into a hands-on passion project — and fun fact: I actually bought my first mods before I even owned a Jimny!

This post covers every modification and accessory fitted to Patches so far — from clever storage hacks to off-road upgrades — with direct links so you can find them too.

💬 Final Thoughts

“Patches” is a rolling reminder that you don’t need a massive 4WD to have big adventures — just creativity, curiosity, and a love for the little things.

Every mod has a story, every scratch has a memory, and every trip reminds me why I fell in love with this tiny beast in the first place.

If you’re starting your own Jimny build, my biggest tip? Don’t wait until you have it — start dreaming, planning, and collecting early. You’ll be amazed how quickly it becomes part of who you are.
