....this is a top notch production work brother,...Suzuki should pay you big time for this amazing video...I am impressed with this vehicle
Thanks Channa! That’s the goal!
You are very lucky to have the latest Jimny Suzuki in 2018, people like me in Indonesia are quite happy to have an old Jimny Suzuki
I'm absolutely loving the cinematography in your videos. I can't believe the quality from such a new/small youtuber. Makes me want to get my Jimny down from Scotland to drive those trails, only a few thousand Ks. :D
Haha Thanks so much! Ill meet you half way! We can house swap for a couple months and then drive back! :P
Agreed :)
@@RoamOverlanding I've been mulling over a Morocco trip as a graduation gift to myself. So halfway could work :D my 12 year old, slightly crusty, Jimny might be somewhat more 'rugged' than you are use too though. It does however have exceptionally comfortable Recaro seats out of a Ignis sport which I rank at possibly the top of my list of mods to that wee truck.
Definitely need new seats in this thing! They arent the best if I must be honest.
@@BluTrollPro What have you done to your little Jimny?? :P
Well... we are waiting for the Jimny in my country... hurry up Suzuki!!!!!
I’m only half way through and I have to agree with most all these other comments; this video is fantastic; the landscapes of your home are fantastic; and the work you’re both doing is fantastic!!!
You’ve inspired me to get out and explore my home (Australia) now!!
Simon! This means so much to us and we hope to bring you a lot more stuff in the future, and please share you trips with us when you get out there!
Hi mate hope the family is ok. We really appreciate your hard work on these videos, they are looking better and better with each one. Got some great news too, my jimny is coming in March ! Can’t wait !
Hey Dan! Thanks for the feedback! Wow, that’s coming up soon! You’re going to love it!
i love your approach to your videos, gentle soft spoken, calm. i live in the states and cant wait till Suzuki brings Jimny here. i currently have mark 2 crv that i just purchased from original owners, very high miles, but in great conditiin. im fixing all the quarks, its a second vehicle. i like the old style awd, 5spd, very rare here. ko2s are on the list. snorkel also. 30 yrs ago i had 86 suzuki samurai conv, loved it, never got stuck and embaressed many big trucks at the beach, it was so light, with stock tires would go anywhere. keep up the good work brother
Thanks for tuning in bud! I can’t wait to get out on the road again over the next month and travel! It’s going to be great 🤟🏻 glad you’re enjoying your vehicle bud!
Absolutely loving your Jimny videos! Editing, production, music and style are all fantastic, and getting better with each release 👍🏻 really appreciate the insight into your adventures with the Jimny and what it is like to live with. Keep it up my friend!!
Thanks Lucas! I am really loving the process. I want to improve every new trip/video! Thanks for the encouragement!
Adrian, watching your video is a bittersweet experience. Bitter because I can't get my hands on a Jimny and sweet because you know why. Anyway superb video, loving every bit.
Hopefully more sweet than bitter! 🤓 but I’ll keep trying to show the whole journey.
I love to see these kind of videos. Hope you do more like this!😃.
Will definitely keep these coming! There is one more travel video, then it will be some build videos for a couple weeks until we get out on the trail again!
Haha, razer blades. You said it. Your effort is much appreciated with these amazing stories and videos. Keep up the good work bud!
Thanks Blaine! I definitely want to keep these coming! I can assure you I have shaved since! (I just forgot my electric shaver in JHB, I wasnt expecting to be away for so long!)
Recently came across your channel and love it. I’m from Oregon and yes! The trails have a lot of similarities! Also, just bought a T-shirt and sweatshirt from your online store. Cheers!
Oh damn! Jason welcome to the channel brother! Oregon is on my list of places to explore one day! There is a helluvah lot of America I want to see someday! Thank you for supporting the channel and hopefully bringing me close and close to the dream of getting to explore Africa & Beyond!
👍Thank you! Very interesting as always. Great video editing, music and inpressions from the trip.
Thanks so much for sticking around and watching every week! :)
Yes your videos are getting better and better and the trails getting worst ;). congrats.
Another outstanding Video , your Jimny is coming along great
love the jimny offroading content
I love the occasional voice-overs on the cinematic driving scenes. Keep up this good work!
Thanks so much! 😊 I’ve found the voice overs change the whole process abit, I’m glad you say for the better 👍🏻
All your hard work pays off! Please make the next one 30 mins.... No wait one hour.... Well, why not three. I could just keep watching, dreaming of an adventure trip like this. Besides the top-notch cinematography the music and your calm voice giving the interesting info on top.... ☺️
Hahah! Thanks! I’m going to try keep getting them longer and more involved. If I ever get to the point where I can travel permanently I’ll be able to make nice long videos every week! 😎
@@RoamOverlanding Being based in Germany at the moment, there are pretty zero options to do real off-roading .... But I am thinking ahead and a change of location will bring new possibilities :-)
Awesome! Jimny!!!!!!!!
Just Amazing
Great vehicle and such a nice route! Well done mate! Keep up the good work!
The new Jimny would have deserved to be released in Greece !Such a beautiful country, only good for Jimny itineraries ! Anyway, Greece is one of the world's leaders in the number of Jimny cars !
Ok,more tough trails to watch! Nice entertainment.
Another great video mate👌 making me want to buy a Jimny more & more, I live in Australia 🇦🇺 so we are still waiting for Suzuki to release them later this month..
agreed..the quality of your videos, the angles that really highlight the terrain and the car movements inc the scenery makes the best 4wd video ive seen. it's much better then the professional outfits.. good job and keep them coming
Thanks bud!! I appreciate the kind words.
Amazing track. Insanely nice scenery. Enjoying your shots a lot. Well done mate.
Thanks a ton!
Excellent video! Love the wide aspect ratio shots. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Steve & Joane!
Awesome video thank you
I'm jealous. I live in the U.S and want a Jimny so bad...
Great work entertainment at 3 am;)))
Keep up the great work and keep on wheeling that little weapon. You have yourself another new subscriber!
I like that! The little weapon!
🇲🇨☮️❤️👍the best review also i like the music
Great footage on this one mate!
I think your best work yet, nice job!
Thanks man! I feel like im getting the hang of things!
5 Star Review from me. Another excellent review.
Thank you so much! 🤟🏻
The more I see of this Jimny the more I hanker after one. Sadly it may take a long time to come to India and only if there is a sea change at Maruti Suzuki India. Suzuki should be grateful that there’s a chap like you who is so enthusiastic and who records these videos so well.
Thank you for taking the time to encourage me! I really think this car is going to take the world by storm. Im holding thumbs for it to make it to India!
Hey mate, I have been watching some reviews of small Indian 4wd's, there was one in particular that I thought looked awesome, slightly G-wagonish. Had huge levers for diff locks. Not quite as modern inside but gee I was impressed with it. Cannot remember what it was called though.
Good vidéo !! 🇫🇷
Great video and car mofification
Excellent! Really professional camera work and production, as good as watching Top Gear! Keep it up 😊
Haha! Thanks Peakcraft. I hope to keep learning and improving!
Love your style man!
More awesome scenery...
I have had my new Jimny in the UK for 1 week... only used on tarmac, but no issues.
I had a 5hr+ drive to drive it home... Did not find it uncomfortable.. But probably my limit for a single session.
Hey Dave! Congrats! 5 Hours is rough. My drive home ( the next video ) was a day of 7 hours and then 12 hours straight. But im a special kind of crazy.
@@RoamOverlanding I'm not as supple as I was, 60+ ;) ;)
Loving the edit on this one. Makes me wanna get into my Jimny right now!
Haha! Thanks man! What part of the world are you in?
Roam Overlanding I’m in Brunei, a humble little country on the island of Borneo. Your tires are legit by the way! Gonna see if I can source some next time a tire change comes around.
Keep the adventure going bro! Looking forward to the next one.
Awesome vid as always! I FINALLY got a chance to test drive one today on the road. Awesome little car, but after a decade of driving sporty amd lowered VWs the drive was... lets just say a bit scary in the corners ;) off for a motorway drive in a few weeks to see if its a daily driver replacement for me this year.
It's even cooler in person than I was expecting from the photos and videos and way smaller than it looks.
Keep the awesome vids coming mate 👍
Glad you finally got to see it in person! It definitely is better in person! I’ve heard that upgrading the suspension makes a big difference to the ride quality and vehicle handling
Loving sharing your adventures. Can't wait to drive one myself.
13 sleeps to go till it is released in Australia.
Great video and editing.
Can’t wait to see what the Aussies will do with these! I think they will really be put to the test in the outback!
My friend the way things are in your country I think you should join us in Australia you would be most welcome.
@@kris8742 hahah! Well I have alot more exploring to do in SA and Africa before I head anywhere else. We have some family in QLD would be great to have a rig out there to explore with!
Good video work backed by suitable music.Thks.
Bruce Kendall 🤟🏻 thanks bud!
Beautiful video. It looks a lot like Northern Nevada. It is -20C here in Ontario this morning and I am very jealous. You are really giving those BFG's a good work out. I hope Toyota brings the Jimny to N/A. Safe travels
I’d love to travel America/Canada at some point, it’s a huge dream of mine.
I really enjoy your videos, great work on the editing! I love the Overberg area, my family farm near Grabouw.
BTW a cheap mod that every solid axle 4x4 should have are sway bar disconnects. It helps keep the wheels on the ground, which helps with traction.
Its a beautiful part of the Cape, I heard there were some horrible fires there recently.. :(
Great experience.
Im glad you enjoyed it! :)
Once again Nice job mate! Keep on. About the tires almost ripped off i think you maybe run them very low pressure
Good job..
Yes, Grabouw country club should tend to their routes. its dangerous and changes with each rain
You should be the embssador for the new jimmy. Still waiting for it in Australia 🇦🇺. Good work mate 👌✌🏻
Haha! Thanks Mate!
You're a natural and you've picked the right vehicle for the job - keep up the good work! Question: (Not knowing too much about photography) Seems you filtered out blue colours somehow?
Haha good eye Jimbob! It’s part of my look in all my imagery and videos, I cut some of the blues. Thanks for the great feedback, I really appreciate it!
....send a good clip of this video to Suzuki's marketing team they would be interested to sponsor your "Suzuki Jimny trails on the beaten track".....here.. I gave you a tagline too...all the best!...BTW,....most ..so called professional advertising companies might not be able to bring out the dynamics of this vehicle like the way that you have done here,...excellent job!
Thanks Chana, its always greating getting your feedback, i think they will have to do something at some point :P
Thanks for sharing! Please keep sharing🙏
Man i hate your clips dude...! they make my waitingtime for my jimny alot worse! :P no seriously, love your stuff and cant wait on the new little family member to finally come home!
😂😂😂 I’m sorry! But I’m also not sorry! You’re going to love it! 😎
很棒的生活很精彩的日子
谢谢!
Great vid as always. Planning some underbody protection? I thought the OE Suzuki offering was actually really well priced tbh!
I will be planning to do some soon!
I can not believe that why you got only 14000 subscribers?? Your videos are incredibly well made-!
It will grow more with time :P
Definitely-!
Your video quality matches your jimmy!!!!
😂 thanks bud!
ur videos of with the Jimny should be sponsored by Suzuki or something. You put these boring car reviews of the Jimmy to shame honestly Awesome to watch and you do show how good this 4x4 vehicle is. The wheels were sold with the car or you bought them? in my country, they also put the Goodrich, but i noticed yours are a bit wider if am mistaken. I have a Range Rover p38 2000 model, but am thinking of selling it and buying this one.
Hahah! I wish they would sponsor me! I put these tyres on after I bought the vehicle.
Howdy there! How heavy does she weigh? (with gear etc.) Great videos and such beautiful scenery! Good job mate!👍🏻😎
I am not too certain; but im sure its around 1.3T
I hope that a copy of the removable ceiling will be issued
That would be epic! 🤟🏻
I want this car soo f**king hard 😍
42K views, great !
I'm jealous. So is everyone else here, but they won't admit it.
Haha! Im trying to do my best to make people feel involved and show them what their future vehicle will be able to do. I prefer the word Inspirational :D
If you don't mind shraing, could you make a video with your kit which you use to make these amazing videos?
That would be cool to do sometime :)
You and your lady friend are excellent. Glad you chose a Jimny as subject for your videos. Do you suffer any torque drain due to the slightly larger tyres? If you do does it impact on off-road ability? Thank you for all your excellent presentations
Iwan Van Der Merwe thank you so much Iwan! I certainly don’t feel any negative impact of bigger tyres when in low range. The vehicle has plenty of oomph when needed!
Good Day:
Do you lift the suspention ?.
Greatings
PD: The beard is always necesary for the mountain
Greetings! No lift yet but, will be upgrading the suspension soon.
Could you test the Jimney by driving on a rough road and using 2 wheel drive untill you can go no further and then switch to 4 wheel drive. It would be interesting to see how far you can get with 2 wheel drive. I enjoy watching your channel, keep up the good work.
An interesting concept! Id be a bit nervous about road safety though :P I generally engage 4x4 on dirt roads for the safety aspect, and that the car feels more solid on road. And then when doing 4x4 trails, you would end up driving too fast in 2HI and damage the vehicle, as opposed to the slow controlled speeds of 4LO.
Defo better video with the other half involved ha ha. Good honesty in regards to the filming whilst en-route. I think you will get used to it, and hopefully you will start to look forward to stopping, often, to be able to show everyone and help discus topics. Thanks
Hahah! I feel like it too! I always look forward to it, but what has been surprising is when Shandelle see's a shot and is like "Babe, you have to stop so we can get this shot!" Thats just amazing for me to hear :P I think we are unlocking a hidden talent in her!
You'll love her for it when ROAM video views climb higher and higher eh!
This is also true! She starts her lessons on tuesday Next week! :) Gonna have her driving in no time! @@jimnyjolly278
It would be really nice to know about the music in your videos. I love it!
The song is All Walls Keep Shifting by Glories on Artlist.io artlist.io/Marcus-215951 if youj want to join Artlist
Impressing Shots! Maximum Respect!
Wich Camera you yoused for this Video?
Hi Pandora, thanks so much! You can see links in the description to all the equipment I use, the camera is a Sony A7III
what a great video, car, scenes...but your normal voice at start is way better than the soften voice after that
👌🏻 noted! Going to do better on the audio next vid 😉
@@RoamOverlanding all the best my friend :)
Great stuff again. What are you going to do if you ever get in a "real" 4WD and start getting stuck?
Dig dig dig :D
It's a tonne of work to make these videos! Take it from a failed TH-camr. Been watching your newest videos with the Hilux -- this video was good, but your latest content is much improved! Can't wait to see you take the Hilux on a long-term overland trip.
Thanks man! It’s funny, when I look back there are somethings I still like about those videos, but it’s definitely a different creature now, almost 80 episodes in 👌🏻
cant wait till the make lockers for this platform...the brake based ones arent good enough imo
The brake assist is very useful most of the time, but it would be safer with a proper locker. It would perform really well with a rear locker and then the brake assist up front 👍🏻
I've just subscribed to your channel and I'm binge watching all your videos... I came for the Jimny but I stayed for the videos you make, they are breathtaking. Got a question to ask you, what song are you using for intros and outros ? I just can't get it out of my head. Greetings from Serbia :)
haha! Awesome to hear!! Its a song off Artlist.io called Coal Mine Rhythm or something like that :D
Thank you for answering but half of an hour searching on website you provided in the comments led me to find it. And actually it's Blues Bruiser by Nick Poss... Thank you again, just keep the videos coming :D
@@drunken_hog Thats the one!! :D
I want to be you. Not as in actually you, but would like to have time and money to go on a trail like you with a girl of my own.
Keep doing what you're doing bro 👍
P.S. High as a kite
Hahah! Glad you enjoyed bro! Nothing’s stopping you from doing this! 👍🏻
Looking at these, I think of the waiting list and the price,, I will buy 2 original vitaras (not older Jimnys) there are still some good ones around in G B,,
I have one they seem more like the new Jimny,, my old Vitara is not an off road sport vehicle, but off road working,,P S ,the daihatsu 4 trak wheels fit the suzuki, ,just the job heavy duty steel the off set ones are best I would say,,
I keep hearing great things about the Vitara's. That new Vitara looks swanky, whats its capability like offroad?
@@RoamOverlanding The Vitaras got big and fat each generation after,, I run a second generation diesel perfect road vehicle,, But the old one is better for off road, it's stable mate for working off road is an old Toyota Rav good but too high geared,,who needs quad bikes or those silly (golf buggy looking farm vehicles) little 4x4s are much better,,
What is the difference in tar road noise between the factory tires and the BFG's?
Quite honestly, they arent too much more noisey, At very low spead you can hear the rubber on tar, but its not loud at all. When it comes to highway, there are many more other noises in this vehicle that are louder than the tyres, so I havent noticed much of a difference in that department.
Any all terrain tyre would be noisier, but the older jimny is surprisingly very quiet in the cabin when on the highway though even with all terrains on... Just a bit of wind noise.
@@RoamOverlanding I've put BF Goodrich KM3's on my mk2 Pajero. That's a M/T. You definitely notice a bit of road noise but it's not bad, and the tire more than makes up for it. I think it would be perfect for the Jimny as well.
👍
@Roam Overlanding, is it true that for the new Jimny manual transmission if you are in your 1st gear and in low range the engine just wont stall/stop? meaning even if you are not stepping on the clutch or gas? I think I heard this on a diff review vid... please confirm thanks =)
It’s very difficult to stall, but you can stall if you use your breaks. But you can use first low to basically idle up a hill 👌🏻
@@RoamOverlanding thank you!
Which air compressor do you use with the indeflate?
just a simple one from outdoor warehouse 160L/min
How is the practicality on everyday use of the Jimny , and do the back windows open and can 2 adults fit in the back seats .
Thanks .
The back windows dont open, but we are working on a fix for that. You can definitely fit 2 adults in the back and it is a fantastic vehicle to drive around town.
Thank you for the reply and awesome videos .
Thinking of getting the new Jimny . Just a bit skeptical about the everyday practicality .
Thanks !!
How much you buy the jimny?
will these b available im Canada ??
Unfortunately not
When its coming to india
Do you think that this little toy, could pull up a small trailer, on that off-road track ?
I dont have any experience with Trailers, so would be unfair of me to say!
whe is offroad ???
is it manual or automatic gearbox bro?
Manual :)
HI, VERY GOOD VIDEO!!!! I NEED HELP TO KNOW THE NAME OF THE BRAND THAT PRODUCE THE ROOFRACK I SAW IN YOUR VIDEO. THANKS IN ADVANCE
Greetings Antonio, Thanks for the kind words! The Brand is Eezi Awn, they are available from www.trekk-4x4.be/ in Europe, and other stores in UK, AUS, ZA, USA
What size are those tires my man?
They are 215/75/15
@@RoamOverlanding thanks dude, where did you buy the roof riel?
A company called Eezi Awn, eezi-awn.com/
@@RoamOverlanding thanks my man! Great channel keep it 100!
Thanks bud! Will do!
Sir what is your jimny colour name ?
It was Medium Grey :)
Next stop Clarens
I’ll only do Clarens and Lesotho once I have a drone 🤓🤓 it’s too insane out there to not have a drone.
@@RoamOverlanding great thinking✌
ı think this car need 1.3 lt diesel engine and 6 speed auto transmisson...and nice video..ı will wait new parts..
Would be nice. But 1.5 Diesel would be more worth it. like Nissan/Renault 1.5 dCi. IMO the 1.5 petrol is great and better fuel economy than previous generations, but the additional torque would assist with the wind resistance in order to maintain uphill momentum when fully loaded.
You did not reverse there at 3:30. There is no need to lie just to prove that you tested the vehicle enough. At first I thought it was too obvious because of the reverse indicators not glowing but then i thought "Nah, he is just going backwards in neutral"... In the end, I noticed the fault on the montage at 3:42. Well played
Hey Manos, good eye for spotting it! It was actually just too dangerous to film... Shandelle wanted to be inside the car, and I had to do the driving. I just wanted to have a clip to kind of show what was going on, so when I was talking about it that there was a relevant clip to see. Its the branch that also gives it away :) Its not lieing about testing the vehicle, its actually just story telling, that what your ears hear and your eyes see, make sense. But great job on the keen eye!
Well, the story telling is the reason I will keep watching your videos. So keep up the good work! No need to shave mate! Greetings from Greece, where Jimny is the best seller in small off-roads!
@@froudos
As I posted earlier, the new Jimny would have deserved to be launched in Greece ! Such a beautiful country, with only good Jimny itineraries !
3:30 is reversed footage - can tell because when the branch comes off your car it comes to a complete instant stop... woopsie
Indeed it is! :) But its no woopsie, it was just to help tell the visual story because we couldnt film the reversing because it was abit too dangerous to be worrying about cameras.
@@RoamOverlanding It's all good man. I was just chuffed because I worked it out. Great cinematography - I have a 2010 Jimny. Still love the bloody thing
Great job though, because only a couple people picked it up :P
What is the official colour of your car ?
Medium Grey :D
@@RoamOverlanding tnx
Very bad sound editing.
Turn the sound up to hear the talking. And quick back down when the music comes. WAY to loud music.
Otherwise....Great film
Trying figure all this sound stuff out! Its quite complicated, as its very subjective. You are the first one to complain, but will try and make it better next video!
@@RoamOverlanding Where is your key chain? :P
I hid it so far into my cubby hole that they wont even rattle if the car rolls :P@@froudos
what size tyres are these BFGs.
215/75/15 :)
Visibly 215/75/15 - same as the Goodyear Wranglers I have on my old Gypsy in India...
