We head over to Bushlore to see the Hilux for the first time, strip it of all its old overlanding accessories, give it a once over in the workshop, before getting it all ready to head home and finally let ROAM 2.0 Begin!

The hilux is a good vehicule, but i really liked the jimny
I feel you there 👍🏻
Paint it green
6 months later, the view numbers show many users shared this opinion. A Hilux is not as relatable for most people, who don't live somewhere rural unfortunately.
The Jimny was a special little escapist vehicle and winning hearts :)
@@RoamOverlanding I was in loved with the jimny because of this channel! can i ask if was it better to get a manual tranny for a jimny? or u prefer it automatic?
Good luck for 2.0 with HILUX
But I really miss that
Cute
Capable

Kind of sad seeing the jimny go. I've been following you checking you car and stealling ideias for my own 2015 Jimmny. I hope you will be happy with the hilux! :)
Thats awesome brother! The hilux is going to be such an awesome project!
Good Choice bro. You will never go wrong with a Toyota. These things lasts forever.
Can’t wait to see the transformation.
Can’t wait to see the transformation and adventure!
rented a hilux once with bushlore in SA, traveled through namibia and botswana! these things can realy take a beating!
This makes me so excited for the future videos!
I just bought a used Ford Ranger 4x4 and to see you with used Hilix just makes me feel like I'm not the only one!
Keep up the great videos!!!!
That is awesome! Used vehicle buddies! hahah!
Hi Adrian. You are going to love the Hi-Lux not only from a size perspective but drivability also. I've got the previous model, 2014 3L turbo diesel and I absolutely love it. Wish you the best of luck
Looks like you going to have some epic adventures ahead of you in Roam 2.0! Look forward to seeing where you go
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 awesome looking forward to seeing the build
Excellent choice! Can hardly wait for your coming episodes to see the transformation works you have planned.
Awesome! I am so excited too!
Super pumped! Can't wait for the build videos!
Me neither
Congrats on your new ride. I'm excited to follow your new adventure...
I love this!!! Everytime I'm watching your builds, I keep yearning for more. I'm looking forward to the Hilux's journey..... Big ups to you for being an inspiration to me👍👍👍 and also the best of luck.
Awesome! Thank you Thando!
Well done Adrian 👏 cant wait for the first adventure
Toyota hilux is gonna be soo awesome and fun..
Gidday Adrian,
Glad the transition went seamlessly, mate.
The Hilux looks like a great vehicle - many hours and days of fun ahead for you (and us).
Well done!
God bless,
Dave
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for the well wishes bud!
Awesome!, Adrian. Look forward to more adventures.
Can't wait to check the live feed out🤘
GREAT UPGRADE !! Badass Toyota Hilux .
Yes indeed!
Can't wait to see the next episode. Good luck with the build.
I am so excited to watch the truck transform... I joined your channel when the Jimny was already fully built but now I get to see the journey from the beginning! Greetings from Austria.
Great to have you here with us for the build Behzad!
oooh you already bought a Hilux
am happy for you and watching you mod it and go camp with it
Keep up the good spirit man
I think we will all miss the Jimny but I am super excited to see what adventures you have to show us with this new build. Best of luck I'll definitely be tuning in.
Thanks Jacob! Glad to have you onboard! 🤟🏻
Can’t wait for this Hilux to go from Base Mode to Beast Mode ! 🦾
I love that! Maybe that needs to be the name of the final episode of the build series! :D
Got a Vigo 3.0 myself. You will love it after that box you had
Back in 1986, when I was living in the USA, my first 4 wheel vehicle was a Suzuki Samurai. I love the way it evolved into the current Jimny. I'm now living in Malaysia, where the top selling pick-up is the Hilux. Looking forward to seeing if the Hilux will be a good choice to buy now that I am on the verge of retiring.
I admit, all of the previous episodes have got me thinking about off-roading and cross country travelling. Looking forward to the new episodes.
Looking forward to seeing the the transformation, awesome stuff man, and an incredible choice the Hilux is, my old man got an 89 hilux, he's always on rough terrains and doesn't give it a break, and yet it has never failed him, never broke down nor needed a major repair
I’m holding thumbs for that level of reliability
Great, Looking forward to watch next video. Good luck for your new monster.
Great to get hold of a Bushlore vehicle. We rented a Land Cruiser from them in Windhoek and the guys there couldn’t have been better at introducing the vehicle and explaining everything. If it’s a Namibian car it will have been well looked after.
Good to hear! 🤟🏻
Keep it up :) stoked to see it progress
i have been looking at a jimny forever, i have a pretty stock hilux at the moment so the fact you are going to be covering its gonna be great to watch aswell as get info on your build and see what i can do too! sick video mate all the way from Australia
Thanks Nick! It’s going to be a killer build!
Out go the jimny fans... in with the Hilux fans.
Out with the niche build... in with one of the most common builds that every man and his dog has done in Australia.
Happy for you for your new purchase, but I followed for the Jimny. Good luck on your new journey
Congrats Adi!
Congratulations Adrian
Keen for future content
Well done wish you all the best and have fun in the bush!
Thanks Erik! It's going to be an awesome adventure!
Now we’re talking! Great to see a Hilux build from the ground up. Especially as mine is also bone stock and waiting for some upgrades at the moment 👍
Right on!
I so watched it for Jimny! But I am pretty sure this will take you places! Will stay tuned.
Awesome!
Love the Cooper S/T Maxx tires -- I have them on my 94 V6 petrol Toyota Pickup (aka Hilux in the cool countries), and they are a nice blend of all-terrain and mud terrain -- good on the highway
Im keen to test them out properly for sure 👌🏻
I'm at 10k km (6k miles) on mine, and they perform superbly in mud, sand, and hardpack substrates. check them out on IG at madeinjapanoverland!
Awesome mate!
I just bought the same vehicle in Australia so excited to follow
I just did my first modification being a platform on the cabin and racks over the canopy.
Nice 👍
Congrats on you new vehicle wishing you many safe miles and adventures
Thank you!
Congratulations on your new Hilux. I’m not biased at all, so glad you now going to enjoy the best brand for the job of over landing 👍👍
Hahah! I hope so! :D
Huge fan of what you did to the little Suzuki and am now looking forward to seeing what you do with this new vehicle!!
That’s so awesome to hear 🤟🏻 see you around then, it’s going to be wild!
I'm going to say this one more time😂😂
I'm really REALLY going to mis the Jimny. When 'n saw the jimny drive away I thought I had a tear in my eas
But I'm so SO excited to see what the hilux bring. I always loved hiluxes
Can't wait for roam 2.0
You and me both! I hope you're doing well boet!
I guess a good-luck-wishes are in order - may You have long fun times ahead of you with Your new wheeled friend!
Oh yes!
Adrian, August 2022: "Well, the Hilux has been great, but, you know, I always wanted a Defender...."
Hahahaha! David! You are so funny bud! I am hoping that ROAM 3.0 is going to be a Sprinter 4x4 :D
How about a Bronco? 🤪
Or maybe the new INEOS?
Sept 2022 , Defender needs a part, 5 months eta, why not get your nails done while you wait.
awsome seeing you grow in your overlading adventures, and your channel grow, keep up the good work!
🤟🏻 awesome man!
Roam Overlanding I just got myself the new Toyota Legend50 and want to go over landing also in Southern Africa and want to make sure the car is suited for those conditions.Any advice on the places I can visit in South Africa to the upgraded
Goodluck with the new rig! Cheers from Brazil.
Thank you very much!
Good choice. 🤠 Welcome to Toyota tribe 💪
Congrats on the new purchase. I own a toyota corolla for 11 years and never ever had any issues with it, planning on getting a toyota prius plus and I am sure it will last forever without any hickups. You made a smart choice, I am sure the Hilux will stand to all the challenges, although Jimny is an awesome ride too. Best of luck.
Hilux : The Unkillable machine ..
haven't heard of the Isuzu D-MAX I'm guessing
@@youngprodiG4lyf ....u can break down anywhere (at least in Australia) and get cruiser/hilux parts on the first shelf at the mechanic, that and the reliability make it amazing
I get a bit teary-eyed watching the scene when you turn over the jimney to its new owner. But at the same time very happy for your new hilux and can’t wait for your future amazing adventure with it. Enjoy mate! 😉👍🏼🙏🏻
Haha I also got sad! 🥺 thanks for the positive vibes though!
..on the other video named a year with Jimny I heard you saying that you wouldn't let go of it but ad a different vehicle for long trips. What changed your mind man?
DSK money money money
For some reasons i was wishing that you would have kept it.🤔
I also heard rumours that they'll be releasing 5 door version of Jimny
Hi Roam. Estoy ansioso por ver cómo avanza el proyecto. Excelente canal con muy buen contenido. Saludos desde Tabasco México 🇲🇽
Muchas gracias amigo mío, estoy feliz de tenerte como espectador
I have the same vehicle, its an awesome base from which to create an overlander that you can use in the city when not on trips
I have been surprised by how easy it is to drive around town 👌🏻
@@RoamOverlanding Yeah they are great, and the fuel consumption is pretty decent if you drive well. I am at 9.4 at the moment I think. I had Mikem put in new suspension and a 50mm lift, I highly recommend this. The hilux on gravel in 4x2 is not a great drive, always use 4x4 and change the suspension. Many happy miles!
This Is the type of content I want to see on youtube . I subscribed When u Said u are gonna build your hilux
Awesome!
Your channel is where I’d go to find Suzuki 4wd videos, I am a HUGE Suzuki fanatic, I mean It’s your car and your choice but I’m afraid I won’t be watching as much, all the best mate and keep doing what you love
No worries Heath, you gotta do what you gotta do 👌🏻
Congratz on your Hilux Adrian, really looking forward to Roam season 2 and what you have planned. Cheerz
Good to see you here boet! I'm glad to see some excitement about it all! :D
@@RoamOverlanding really am, missing some awesome local overlanding/offroading content with the added bonus of seeing how the hilux build progresses.👌🏼
Well I can confirm for you that the next 12 weeks will be all about the Build! and there is some MAJOR upgrades coming pretty soon!
@@RoamOverlanding that's really awesome news, will be checking my TH-cam notifications 👌🏼
Good choice.
Awsome choice.cant wait to see what you have in store.The jimmny was cool but its really a small car.
Love the look of the bakkie. Great choice in my opinion
Thanks Vuyo! I can’t wait to get it out on the dirt! 🤟🏻
Lucky bugger. Can't go wrong with a Toyota. I recently got myself a SWB Pajero '98. Old but bullet proof. She already has a 2" lift and ARB front bumper along with a dual battery system in it. Looking forward to kitting her out and watching your build as you continue with ROAM 2.0.
Oh man! That Paj sounds like a beast! That's exactly what I would've wanted! Goodluck with your new build too! Thanks for the support Graydon!
Hilux is a good car .. choosing a good color will be better.. good luck
Can't wait to see the end 👍
Looking forward to seeing the build unfold.. Rubberised load bin is a must though. Would get that done asap
Pretty much!
Congratulations Bro✨
Thanks 🔥
Such great quality film work and passion to your channel interesting to watch keep it up bud 👍🏼
Thank you for the lekker feedback Nathan! 👍🏻 see your around!
Bitter & Sweet!
For sure!
Hi Adrian, I've just started watching your series, looking for forward to it, beause I've also build up my overlanding vehicle during Lockdown 2020 and also bought it from Bushlore...
Welcome aboard!
Originally came for the Jimny but stayed for the great content. Looking forward to seeing the Lux transformed, best of luck with it mate.
Great to have you around for the next season 👍🏻
A super choice for the new vehicle. Would look good branded up.
I think so too! It's got a long way to go, but it'll be an awesome build series I am sure of it!
Yeah buooyy..! 🤩🍻
So cool to see your progress! I will build a Mercedes Sprinter as a media van, to be used for video production work to expand the business! Keep up the hard work!
Thats the dream for me too man! Hopefully Roam 3.0 will be a Sprinter 4x4 :D
yep i think you made a good choice buddy...!! Can't wait to meet you in Botswana.
Can't wait!
To honestly tell the truth, I loved the jimny.
It really took care of us all.
As for the Hilux, make sure yo don't go too fast in it. I still don't trust the rear suspension.
Fingers crossed
I loved the Jimny too, it will be missed for sure! The full suspension will be replaced as soon as I can 👌🏻
Got a bit sad you let go of your jimny. Watched all your vids and got my own jimny too. Though i enjoyed all your vids, waiting for your new contents on the hilux. Goodluck! All the best from the Philippines
Wow,😎nice👍i like your car.
2 days?! What a tease :)
Hahah! 😂
I’m thinking Patrons will get a head start on these 😂
My friend...with all my respect...jimny is a legend....!all the other it just cars!
Hahah, thats true. But there are things I need to do here in Africa that the Jimny cannot do safely and stay a legend.
@@RoamOverlanding greatings from greece....and do your best to enjoy your new Toyota!
i'm subscribing because this is south African channel and good quality
Welcome Mbulelo!
Good luck with the Hilux, I am sure you will be just as successful as you were with the Jimny.
Thank you so much for the inspiring words! It’s definitely been a stress for me 😂
Oohhh... I got your point why u sold Jimny....
Hopefully Hilux will be as cool and adventurous as Jimny...
Waiting for that video..👌👌👌
I'm feeling sad like it's my vehicle but I trust you are going to build another good off road vehicle. All the best
This one is going to be even better! I promise 🤟🏻
😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭se fue el jimny si yo veía estos vídeos por la leyenda del jimny
Congratulations 👍😎👏
🎉
Nice one mate. I'm really keen to see how your build progresses. My Hilux is also white so I will definitely be keeping a close eye on what works and what doesn't
Awesome! Spoiler alert, it wont be white for long!
Best vehicle ever
I guess I will have to see! :D
Very nice move broooo
Awesome stuff, looking forward to this build, when is the next video?
The next one will be slightly delayed to maintain a steady weekly upload rate, while my vehicle is in panelbeating for the next two weeks, so I am thinking perhaps Sunday
Wow that was different
Thanks for tuning in!
Thats what im talking about! Good job 👍🏻 hahahaha
I think I read somewhere that these Hilux's have a problem with dust getting past the air filter element which apparently can cause the engine to go into limp mode. Good luck with your build
I rented the same bushlore hilux (had a different licence plate, so it wasn't yours 😉) in January and drove through Mabuasehube and the KTP, it was a really sturdy and comfy vehicle in my mind! Big plus was also the fuel consumption, it's quite economical. Even my friend who is a land cruiser die-hard was rather impressed with it's capabilities. I am sure yours will be amazing, love your videos! Cheers from Germany
Good to know! Thats some awesome feedback! I hope you had an awesome time here in Southern Africa! :D
Roam Overlanding i was in Botswana, but I had a blast🤙
"Southern Africa" Is all the way up to Tanzania, But thats great to hear! :D
Roam Overlanding right, read „south Africa“ 😅
must be a great joy to the buyer of your Jimny.
Indeed!
Great choice on the Toyota Hilux. I also drive one here in Brazil.
I have a question regarding these in South Africa, what is more common, manual or automatic transmission ? Here in Brazil they only offer the manual option on the cheapest version. How does this works there?
Congrats on the channel, your filiming is really PRO.
this is what i dream about each day
Love you from INDIA 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Hi buddy, Toyota 4x4 is the best for Overland, it's strong and long lasting. when taken care of it will last longer. You have made the right choice. It's now time to gear-up your new baby and go outdoors
Woohoo! Let the build begin!!
Wow thats sad to see. That Jimny was what made this channel so unique. Unfortunately every man and his dog has a Hilux. BUT it should serve you well 👍
It is serving me really well, if you get a chance to watch some of the latest videos you can see what the Hilux has turned in to. 👍🏻
@@RoamOverlanding Been watching mate! Its a beast and doesnt look like everyone elses now 👍 Still loving your channel heaps. Keep on the good stuff ay 🤙
A Hilux? The best part of this channel was the Jimny,it was something different and was great to see something other than a Hilux being done up.
The Jimny was great for sure. But I actually havent seen any videos of Hilux's being done up on youtube, normally its just Landcruisers, considering the Hilux viewership over 100x that of the Jimny, it surprised me that there was hardly any content around the Hilux online.
@@RoamOverlanding Either way, I enjoy the videos and I am looking forward to seeing the build of the Hilux. Safe travels and can't wait for the next episode.
👌🏻 awesome! There is also a livestream on Monday night that’s open to all if you get a chance; pull through for a bit and say hi 🤟🏻
