This was an off grid adventure to e remote secluded mountain campsite, Shaqat Camp, in the De Vlugt region, off the Prince Alfreds Pass in South Africa. The adventure was undertaken with our trusty Jimny and Metalian Genie combination. A truly peaceful hideaway definitely worth adding to your camping list. You Tube Music was used for the background music.

We recently drove the Poor man's game drive. The road, turning left off the R343 from Kenton-on-Sea is not that bad. The road, turning right off the R343 from Kenton-on-Sea is eroded most of the way. It can now be descibed as a 4x4 route. It is a nice drive if you have a 4x4 or bakkie.
thanks for the feedback
Hi. How can I get in contact with people that posted this video? I want to find out if this problem came back. The problem keeps on coming back with mine. Thx Albert
Hi, the problem has not come back, we have even changed suspension since then with no issues. If the problem is re-occuring there must be something out with the cars wheel alignment/geometry.
Love the video. Did you do the draw system yourself?
Thank you, yes we did our own drawers. Metalian also do drawers which can be ordered.
Sorry and the nose cone too ?
Hi, the nose cone was made by Metallian to our request.
Where can I purchase these?
If you in South Africa you welcome to email us, fooshadventure@gmail.com
I saw on another long term review that the snorkel of this design added allot of road noise, is this in line with your experience now almost a year later?
Hi, no we havent experienced road noise, of they possibly mean vibration against the body, use silicone to fix that.
The best mod ive seen on making a Jimny more useful, i think you should put all the plans up for sale to help all us Jimny owners, and the money you make would off set your expenses im in England and ive never seen anything like this its magic
Very nice, can i order this from you?
If you in South Africa you welcome to contact us. fooshadventure@gmail.com
in your experience in regards to weight and loading, would you say attaching a roof tent on load bars would work?
Hi yes it is possible but would need to be a light weight tent like the Roofpod they are between 25 to 35kg. www.theroofpod.co.za
You will also find this an interesting post to read. geordiejimny.com/roof-racks-and-load-bar-advice/
Have you guys done a video yet on the Genie itself?😮
Yes there are a couple in our channel, have a look.
Great stuff. Nice video. Does the annex affect air flow and temperature inside the sleeping part (tent)?
Hi, thank you, it hasnt really been noticable we regulated airflow by opening the top of the tent windows more/less, and sleep with the just the mosquito net zipped up on the tent, and the annex windows all closed - that was when using the annex.
If you opted to fit it on the roof of the car, will the annexures reach the floor, or it is purely for the trailer. Secondly do you think there is enough space on the floor to use it as additional sleeping space?
Hi, correct it wouldnt be the right height for a car, but metalian I am sure could quote on an extra length solution, best would be to ask them. As for extra sleeping, would depend if its a child, I am sure you can make a sleeping arrangment in the annex. They also have a clever way of making a small pod in the side wall which was done In the tent for Moving Pictures Africa, again I would enquire with your needs and they can let you know if they have a solution.
Looks nice and functional. But, also seems a bit 'finicky' to erect. Looking forward to seeing a 'tube after a good rain storm. The waves and undulations of the flysheet may not be great for good for effective draining of the rain water (?) Thanks for the info :-)
We also looking forward to see how it handles rain, we did experience rain with the first prototype.
I really like how you started the video with Lego🚗 The new tent looks comfortable.
Was fun doing the lego bit, first time we tried it.
Very cool
Looks fantastic. Don't have a Genie (maybe one day) working on a used Jurgens BT547 trailer which is light and can carry the camp stuff but would be lying if I said I wasn't thinking of doing something similar to this from a sleeping perspective. Looks like an amazing tent.
Thanks, the Jurgens must be a fun project. The modular camp .approach really suits our needs.
Did you look at the ikamp mini, and annex? Wouldn't it be easy buy? I love tho your simplicity and minimalist vibes.
Hi, we did consider the ikamper mini, but it has a sloped shell and doesnt have rails, so wouldnt be able to add the awning as we want to. The annex also is not fully enclosed which is the option we were looking for. The annex wall length also would not suit the height of the Genie. It is also double the price all included so prohibitive 🤓.
New Tent setup looks awesome well done 👍🏻
Thanks Rae
Very neat work, especially with the wiring!
Thank you 😊
Seems like an interesting challenge. Looked like the front wheels did not have much contact with the ground in places. Well done getting out.
It was very slippery, was a nice unexpected challenge.
Thx
I'm also in SA, Can I ask where you got those red & grey side decals/stickers from that you have on your doors at the bottom? They look sweet! Awesome video.
Hi there, we made them ourselves, took inspiration from the SJ retro stripes.
Dit is darem mooi wêreld daardie.
Definitief, asemrowend 😊
That is neat. !!
Dankie. Hoe nuttig. Ek kry uiteindelik 'n goeie idee van hoe groot mens kan pak.
Hi ,which brand name is your front grille fog lamp mounting?
Hi, the spotlights are 6inch Hella supernova.
@@fooshadventure THANK YOU SO MUCH
What is the MOUNTING kIT ?
Its a kit we make ourselves if you in SA email us and we can help you out.
@@fooshadventure I am not in SA ,I com from HK, thanks
First of all w'll have to know the size of your tyre sir.
Will it gain some more power ? As air intake will be better than before.
No
I really like those spotlight mounts. Can you share any more information on what you did? Thanks.
Hi, If you in South Africa drop us a email and we can sell you a set we have extras. Fooshadventure@gmail.com
Would this work on other Suzuki models like the latest generation Baleno?
Hi, we are not sure, maybe check with an fitment centre there are some alarms that provide the driveway door lock feature too.
Thank you. @@fooshadventure
Thanks a million guys, very helpful.
Glad the video could help.
Great video. Also went for load bars (at least for now) for my Jimny
It's a great alternative to a full rack.
Very Good Like subscribed 🎉🎉🎉🎉5 door Jimny india
Awesome, hello from South Africa 👋
@@fooshadventure 😊 HI SIR HOW R U
Hi, I've sent you a couple of emails but haven't received any reply.
Apologies, just checked spam and found emails from Keith, assume this is you? Will reply.
Is it possible to leave your bedding in the Metalian Genie tent?
Hi, yes, I do believe you can.
@@fooshadventure thank you
@@graememurdoch9096we leave all the linen on the bed (pillows, sheets and blankets).
@@adrinigrini-fl7yt thank you. Much appreciated
Thanks for sharing! It's amazing
Thank you
Thank for video, very informative. Nice to get real world experiences and opinions on the Metalian Genie.
Hey, great video. Is it safe to use this snorkel when it rains heavily? I'm a bit concerned of water entering the intake system.
Hi, we have not had any issues with rain.
@@fooshadventure Great! Thanks for the reply.
❤ great 👍
Where can i find the awning brackets?
Hi, can email fooshadventure@gmail.com
I had the “S” in the rims painted fluorescent green Yours would look great painted red
That could look interesting 🤔
Searched all over the internet for a video like this Thanks for posting it, you just helped me with my decision making, definitely going for it
Thanks, glad it could help
Hello. Is it possible to buy it in Europe? If not wil you share how to make it my self and what materials you used? Thanks, greetings Eric from Holland
Just available in ZA for now.
They first came there in the 1930's. Hardly a place called "ancestral land" then.
Can the bonnet gas strut be refitted after the snorkel install or is it permanently deleted?
Hi, no it can't but the bonnet works perfectly with just the gas strut on the other side.
My shackles came with the bushings 🤷♂️
Tiny shackles...is that an atv
Suzuki Jimny
Fellas with how clean the underside is i wouldn't worry about having to do a recovery on him
Would not like to see the underside of your rig then 😂 some people actually keep their vehicle underside clean after overlanding.
You over tightened that. I wouldn't be creating diy videos if you can't diy correctly.
Can you perhaps explain how it was over tightened and what could happen?
How to stop the rattle...dont leave them on the vehicle to look cool, only put them on when actually needed
Don’t forget about us lazy guys who just leave on whatever hitch attachment we used last😂
If you hand tighten them you can actually use them for a recovery without additional tools
We live in South Africa. You hand tighten them and they will dissappear. You should always carry tools with you in the car anyway.
