Hi Sam, great purchase! When my brother was doing his house, he went back to brick and ripped out the ceilings so lots of tip trips. He bought a LWB Ex military series 3 Land Rover for the purpose. It costs much less than multiple skips!
@@SamVBikes brilliant idea mate! I was wondering if the Adventure would fit diagonally? You're right, this would make a great base for a camper, especially if it was long enough to sleep in the flat bed. The possibilities are endless!
In theory the SAS should fit straight in.. it's a 6.5ft bed and the bike is apparently just over 5ft long. I'll have to try it and let you know haha! There are so many possibilities for it and I can't wait!
Brilliant. My dad had one of these in the eighties. I bought an RM250 motocross bike and I used to load the bike on the back to get to places to ride the bike. The Suzuki pickup was ace to drive
Please cover the seats and get the bottom thoroughly coated in clear waxoyl or lanoguard as British winters are gonna take hold and turn it to sh1t, I have a rare Suzuki X-90 that's been off the road about 5 years and rusting away because it needs work attention money and tlc thrown at it, I wish id protected the 80s seats waxoyl'd and more back then...
I've got some Lanoguard seal downstairs, raptor coat for the bed and some seat covers on the way! I've seen what the salted roads can do to my bikes so I'm not risking it with this beaut! I've got some XCP rust blocker too for the bikes which I'll probably coat the engine and metal components in too! Like you say, can't be too careful
Great little thing, love it. I've wanted for years to get a Suzuki Carry / Bedford Rascal etc van and make a teeny, tiny camper out of it. Look forward to seeing more of this one whichever channel it winds up being.
Congratulations on bagging a mint example! Absolute unit of a vehicle, hereby dubbed The Monkeh Express. Or maybe the Bonobo Bus? 🤔 Begin customisations immediately please, we need more videos. Also, is it RWD when not running 4WD or can you only donut in reverse?
Thank you very much! Haha customisation is well under way! Already looking at lift kits and chunky wheels! It's RWD when it's running on 2... which means skids! (In the snow because it doesn't have enough power to spin the wheels)
@SamVBikes In for a penny and all that.💪🤣 spending lots on accessories, I managed to bag the last set of Outback motortek crash bars. Looking to see what boxes to get. Do you have any recommendations?
Happy days mate! I've heard they work really well if you're stupid enough to hit gravel 😂 I've got the Givi Trekker Dolomiti, and I know a few have similar Givi metal boxes. Look a bit smarter than the plastic ones!
That is sooo cool. When I was a wee child labour kid I did a local milk round in one of those. My seat was an upturned milk crate in the back corner. Jump on and off at each house, it was rural , shitty lane place and it coped amazingly 🤩
Awesome!! :D Reminds me of the late 80s Suzuki Alto (you might need to google that! ;) - also a tripple, might be the same engine), that my wife's first car was, that I used to love terrorising people with.. ;) :D The torque for the size of the engine was fantastic, and the low weight of the car meant it was a traffic light grand prix winner on most occasions... ;) :D 796cc/41bhp of rip roaring JDM goodness... ;) :D :D Top choice Sam, I WANT one now... ;) :) :D ( ( think it could JUST about nudge 80mph on a good day ;) )
Haha I know what an Alto is!! Hopefully that means you don't feel as old bringing it up! I adore little kei cars. Although I think hitting 80mph would only happen if I dropped it from a helicopter 😂
@@SamVBikes LOL - Good to know you know your Kei cars... ;) :D (many are sniffy about, and turn their nose up at them!!). I'd LOVE a Honda S660.... (you really MIGHT have to google that!! ;) :p :D :D ).
Those who turn their nose up are only compensating for something else! I cannot wait to get this thing modded... the amount of looks it gets is hilarious! (I know what a Honda S660 is too)
@@SamVBikes 😂😂😂 I appreciate the offer regardless, but you are right...until you decide you need to do the Bealach na Bà in the snow - your little mountain goat will be the ideal vehicle!
Good call.
🙌🏼👌🏼
Congrats! Can’t wait to see the new build 🎉
Thank you!

Thank you mate! It's a great idea isn't it! A few trips to the recycling plant are so easy. The looks you get loaded up too is hilarious

That sounds ideal! Exactly what I want to use this for too!

These were everywhere in the UK in the 90’s basically a Bedford Rascal but Kei-alised
I wouldn't mind the 1.3L engine in the Rascal for the extra power haha
Great into mate, cool truck, looking forward to seeing its journey and what mischief you can get upto in it.
Thank you mate! Yeah looking forward to drifting it in the snow 😂

Definitely a brilliant little thing! If you've got the cash to get one, do it soon because they seem to be going up in value quick!

Jelous af, been wanting one for my monkeys for years, same ideas for modding too. Cannot wait to see what ya do.
Just makes sense alongside the monkey doesn't it?! Just need to find some money to do the work to it 😂
@@SamVBikes i would go on the game but would need to charge by the minute, would be 87 by time i covered the cost of the furry dice.
😂😂
You've just made me think of buying some furry dice for it! Not had those since I was 17
Wicked 💪
👌🏼💪🏼
@SamVBikes I have a very big bone to pick with you! I used to own a GSA, but last week, I became a parent to a new Super Adventure s ✌️
Ahhhhhh congratulations mate!!! Welcome to the world of constantly worrying if you're going to have a speeding fine arrive in the next 14 days 😂

@@SamVBikes yeah then you can take small people on burn outs around the ABR festival, like a bucking bronco 🤣 how long can you hold on ?!!!
@@rebeccachristie1969 Haha! If you can survive the bog of doom, I'll buy you a pint!

Great videos mr Vincent
Thank you! 💪🏼
Mint vid and even better watched through Patreon early access 🤜🤛
Thank you mate 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
How soon before a hayabusa engine is ordered for it and a pop out apple car play head unit.
Hahaha don't tempt me!! I'm already eyeing up some engine swaps 😂
@@SamVBikes it’s the JDM way
Now roll on ABR 25 to see this rock up with the monkey bike on its back,fully kitted out, quality 😂👍👌🛻
Haha exactly!! Bouncing down the hill on the run in, roof tent on top of it and everything 😂😂😂
@@SamVBikes 👍🛻🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats just awesome 😂. Makes my series land rover look like a Cullinan! Lovely work Sam and cant wait to see more
😂😂 that's another thing I need in my life! Thank you pal
Would love to see this with Goldwing on the back!
Haha! Now that's a challenge!
So what's the engine temperature gauge? The seat of your pants?
Yeah pretty much 😂😂 ooo it's running hot... the twins are warm
@@SamVBikes 🥵🥵🥵😂
I love it, I look forward to more of this. I gave you a sub because I love kei trucks and I have one on my wish list in the near future.
Thank you!! It's been great so far! Parts are a pain to get hold of but everything else is great
only a mile to the gym..... get jogging, you`ll be warm by time to get to the gym 😁
That sounds like that dreaded C-word I keep hearing... car de yo or something like that
😂😂 Some boy!
You won't fit pal... sorry 😂
@SamVBikes haha we can try though 😅
There's a video idea 😂
@@SamVBikes haha possibly 🤣
Looking forward to you starting your milk round as a side hustle 😂
Got to pay for all this stuff somehow 😂😂
@@SamVBikes the pick up is bitchin', I'm just jealous 🤷🏻♂️
Haha! I would say I'd come pick you up if you ever need it... but Scotland is a long way at 50mph 😂
@@SamVBikes 😂😂😂 I appreciate the offer regardless, but you are right...until you decide you need to do the Bealach na Bà in the snow - your little mountain goat will be the ideal vehicle!
@14biscuits now there's a video idea! Might have to buy a bigger truck to drive my small truck to Scotland 😂😂
Sam you're bonkers but love you're videos. Look forward to what's coming next.
Haha! I do try! Thank you pal
So you basically bought a Monkey support vehicle
Haha spot on! Although more of a Ducati support 😂
These gentlemen will definitely approve 😆- th-cam.com/users/mightycarmods
