This is a natural progression for Darren's business really. Supply will sort its self out and he'll be ready and ahead of the game.

He charges a fortune for these conversions on the original Jimny and people buy them. They will do the same with these.

It's no biggie really.

I did contact Darren and asked to purchase the kit . It didn't happen . I was going to buy an Orange KAP built Zuki a while back and thats how I came into contact with him .

Wish him well he does really nice work and finish is really tasty.

Good for KAP. If they can be the first to show a pickup conversion on the new Jimny they will get tons of interest and given what they charge they'll be quids in after just a couple. It's just a shame they don't do a LWB version with a useful carrying capacity but I guess that may be on the cards...?

Like a 6x6 pickup? I'd be interested!

No need for an extra axle. Just an extended chassis to a 105" wheelbase or so, enough to allow for a more practical sized load bed. A 6ft bed would be great. And an uprated axle and springs to carry at least 500kg like a normal small pickup. The problem is it would then need to go through an SVA test, which I think all these companies are keen to avoid.

At the minute they are just toys for rich boys on shoots who might put a pair of spaniels in the back but that's about it. That said, even if they did make a practical version I couldn't afford it so I'm sure they have their target market pretty well covered.

ETA something like this. Suzuki used to make it but they don't care about commercial vehicles any more.
