Suzuki Caribian SJ413 4x4 vehicle is one that is quite enjoyable. Generation II jeep based Jimny is relatively easy to modify, easy to maintain and no fuss.

This constraint was also felt Erik Anwar S Caribian one owner from Garut in West Java. But this young entrepreneur is not broke. Was trying to trick designed without having to remodel the original structure Caribian. "Basically Caribian roof is made of fiberglass and removable (can be opened. Red).

What does Erik is enough to accommodate additional passengers be 4 people only. But it still has a carrying capacity of goods more than the Jimny in general. The addition of space capacity is certainly not random. Factors aesthetics, comfort and safety also remains to be seen.
"Actually there are overseas long wheel base version with a full roof. But because in Indonesia are not available, had to modify and extend the roof, "said Erik. Of course that still okay shape reference from the internet and the photos need to be tailored to the needs. There are certain parts that are taken from the design itself.
Part of it is self-designed glass side of the roof. "Body Caribian tube are bolt holes that seem to be prepared for the full roof installation. So .... not a problem! Stay ikutin desired design, "kekehnya. Keep in mind that the process must be carefully maximum results, precision and caution. So that it would not look odd shape.
It could be an inspiration !
