My name is Johannes Niinikoski and I am a Finnish Suzuki off‑roading enthusiast. The spark for off‑roading ignited when I was a young boy, and after getting my first Suzuki, the desire to improve the vehicles for rough terrain only grew stronger.

The green one is a 1983 SJ410 and the white one is a 1987 SJ413. More stories about the early days of my hobby can be found in the album The Beginning.

Feel free to contact me with any questions:

The SJ410 features several modifications including a lifted suspension, larger tires, a tube bumper with winch, DIS ignition, a custom power steering system, and improved seats. Later the lift kit was borrowed to the SJ413.

I bought this beauty in late summer 2008. It is currently undergoing a major upgrade to significantly improve its off‑road capabilities.

It features an ARB air locker, heavy‑duty driveshafts, diff guards, underbody armor, a custom coil‑on‑plug ignition system, EFI and cylinder head from a 1991 Suzuki Swift, and much more.

This Samurai was bought by my mother in spring 2010, inspired by my SJ413 project. After my military service, the real building began in summer 2011.

It features a Calmini 3" lift, 2" exhaust, custom front bumper, SJ410 front clip and fenders, and much more.

This pickup Suzuki first sparked my interest in the early 2010s, but it took nearly a decade before I finally had the chance to buy it.

It has served as a test platform for many of my obsessions: first a Suzuki Swift GTi Twin Cam, later a full electric conversion.
