Very nice of you to share your journey. Anything off the black top is illegal here in Belgium, except for private "pay and play" areas where you can enjoy some off-road fun, but they are few and quite small areas. Thanks again, and have fun out there! 🙂
I think all of EU is going in the same direction - offroad driving and wild camping is getting very rare as restrictions are being put. Now I've started going outside of the EU for trips like this and I'll be posting videos of that soon
Thats the great example of why I did not fit my blue jimny (same color as your)with air locker i went the easy way and fitted the E locker best move ever.
@@The4x4Lab Yeah, I can imagine. I live near Plovdiv now. Have been looking for a good Jimny, but I waited too long and prices are crazy now. Hope to join you one day on such a great adventure.
7:15 that is not complete. It is just one layer of several that Roman roads had. It would be impossible for a carriage to go down a road like the current state without breaking.
Благодаря :) може да, даже добавих сега и субтитри на български Просто се надявам чужденците да видят и научат нещо повече за Бъглария освен Слънчев бряг.
Yes, it was a cracked head gasket. Moral of the story - if you can't see the leak, it's leaking inside the engine haha 😄 I've replaced it when I got home
I think small and light vehicles will always be bumpier and more uncomfortable than the large and heavy ones, no matter how much you modify them. But they have other benefits, so I have used the Jimny for overlanding if you check my videos from Romania :)
@@The4x4Lab how she handles up hills, you go on 2gear low or ? and whats the fuel consumption for overlanding light drivings.. i hear they are very good ? like 7L / 100km ?
Nice jimny, it looks like mines but mines is black, I have 4 inch lift and 30 inch tires. As in Italy it is IMPOSSIBLE to go around the woods like you do I really would like to follow you for shure😂
@@The4x4Lab not exactly illegal but almost. The dirt roads in the woods where you can ride freely are really rare, or you can try going where you wants but if the forest ranger stop you it's a heavy fine to pay. We usually meet at organized events where we drive off road in for example a dry river bed and with all necessary legal permit. It's the only legal way. The sinister green side have many follower here, they don't understand that we don't go off road ruining the places but to preserve it.
That's just... silly really. Sorry to hear that. It's one thing to care about nature and limit air/water pollution, deforestation, and a totally different thing to limit the free movement of people. In most countries: if you stick to the trail, you will be fine; If you damage the land outside the track - you have to pay. And in Bulgaria... well, the government inflicts the most damage, so we can use a few of your greenies here. Although, I'm afraid that either everything will be allowed or nothing at all - the unhealthy extremes
Здравейте! Много добро видео се е получило, поздравления. Може ли на кратко да обясните за маршрута: от Котел за къде и коя е хижата където сте нощували?
Здравейте :) има и втора част на видеото, където продължаваме до Хаинбоаз от хижата и там се вижда, че е Буковец. Иначе пътя следва Ком-Емине възможно най близко (на места е пешеходен и трябва импровизация).
Thanks! There are 2 upgrades since the walkaround-review video: one is the air locker (which has an installation video) and the other is the rear drum brake conversion (but the video is not ready yet)
With 35 liter fuel tank, the Jimny can go 200km+ offroad. I don't think we have a continuous 200km offroad roads in Europe without going on the asphalt and finding a gas station :)
@@The4x4Lab Not really, I just got my drivers licence actually because I got interested in the whole off-road thing. I am thinking of investing in a new 4th gen Jimny as a first car, but I'm also looking at used 3rd generation also. What do you think?

Записвам си трака, по който съм минал на Гармина, но за първи път ми се случи (точно, когато съм тръгнал сам) той да даде някаква софтуерна грешка и да се рестартира постоянно, така че нямам...
Yep, you're 100% correct - it was exactly the head gasket. I have never faced such an issue before and I didn't know what it was at the time. All replaced and fixed now :)
And that is somewhat demotivational for me to be honest, since those 600 are pretty much family and friends... TH-cam works in mysterious ways I suppose :( But you (all of you) can help by sharing the videos! P.S. Thank you very much!
Браво, кефя се че гледам такъв клип направен от българин в България. Защото в България е пълно със свободни пътища за офроуд-шофиране. Но ме дразни това,че се мъчиш да говориш на друг език, ти си българин! Просто сложи субтитри на какъвто си изкаш език. Иначе браво за клипчето.
Много българи говорят английски, но остатъка от света не говори български, затова реших така. Но ето - направих си труда да добавя субтитри на български език :)
Make sure you check Part 2 of this trip here: th-cam.com/video/lfaJlQHKBIg/w-d-xo.html
man..you're the reason I'm gonna build a Jimny !! Thank you!
You are not the first... I think I should get a comission from Suzuki haha 😄
Got to love Bulgaria. Designated mountaineering path, and you drive a freaking car on it.
Some paths are narrow and used only by mountaineers, others are wide, flat, and shared - bikes, hikers, horses, cars, trucks...
Great build and a beautiful adventure in the mountains. Appreciate the English translation in the description too. Cheers mate.
This is better than ASMR total satisfaction
Unintentional ASMR, I should add :D
bonjour et
magnifique 4x4
Hey there! Thanks for dropping by! That 4x4 really is a beast, right?
Really cool video. Beautiful scenery there.
Watching from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks for stopping to say Hi! I hope I will drive through the Rockies offroad... :)

And I love your country :) NZ's mountains are a dream destination for me!
Great video. A light bar would not go a miss on those dark nights. 👍
👍
Absolutely! Right after we came back I started looking online for an option. I'm thinking a 42inch :)
Very nice! Thank you.
You are very welcome :)
One of the best videos i ever seen!!!
Thank you for sharing this feedback! :)
I'm doing my best to make sure every video is better than the last...
Bonjour, il est formidable ce jimny.
Great content George. Love the music and the scenery 🙌🏻
Much appreciated :)
τι ωραία βιντεάκια που ανεβάζεις! μπράβο!!!
So nice of you to say that :)
Great video, Georgi! Just a pleasure to watch and listen even for my little kid :)
Oh, you have a young future offroader in the family? :)
@@The4x4Lab Yes, and she was watching with me the whole video and when you were stuck at the log she was asking "Why it can't go trough?" :)
@@chubritsa9255 even engaged in the story, wow :D glad to hear that
Love That 'little Jimny'!! So JEALOUS 'NOT AVAILABLE' in Canada!!...
On the other hand you have the Rockies and the new Bronco so it evens out :D I'm also jealous
@@The4x4Lab ..True...but the New Bronco..So 'EXPENSIVE'! i LIKE The 'Charm' of The Small 'Go Anywhere' Jimny!!...

Да не ти говоря ние как бяхме :D друго си е да гледаш видеото и да знаеш, че явно съм доживял, за да го направя хахах. И благодаря!
Dobry Jimmny, a film to poezja. Pozdro z Polski.
Thanks :) It seems there are many offroad enthusiasts in Poland
Chcę zakupić takiego i go trochę przerobić. Będzie to moja pierwsza terenówka i przygoda z offroad. Pozdrawiam.
What an exciting adventure. Are there wild predetors in those mountains? A bit scary especially when the sun comes down.
There are reports of wolfs and bears but that's rare. Besides, they don't really want to meet you either :D
@@The4x4Lab that sounds reassuring. Btw, mine is a silver 2005 jimny, all stock, manual, with a 1.3L engine. I'm from the Philippines.
another great video...thanks George.
Very welcome. There will also be a part 2 :)
@@The4x4Lab no problem George, i love your jimny
Thats the great example of why I did not fit my blue jimny (same color as your)with air locker i went the easy way and fitted the E locker best move ever.
I think the cable/wire of an e-locker can also get caught up and torn, isn't that right?
Love your adventure. Wonderful! Great job on the camera and editing.
Thanks for watching! 😉 I enojy shooting adventure trips over other types of videos.

Hi. Please add some lights to your rig. Cant see verywell. Makes a difference.
I've learned that the hard way :D I have added a light bar after this trip
Супер клип
Радвам се, че ти хареса.
Още ще има :)
Oh hello nee Favourite
Glad to hear it 😎
7:15 that is not complete. It is just one layer of several that Roman roads had. It would be impossible for a carriage to go down a road like the current state without breaking.
Still, I find it impressive that there is something left after 2000 years
Awesome content, keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Super interesting!
Glad you think so!
Може ли да коментираме на български 😃 Добро видео! Бъдете здрави за още много приключвния с този мини звяр!

😊you need i good head lamp man...
haha, yes 😃 I fixed that mistake for later trips
Did you find the coolant leak? Looked like a fair bit of white smoke coming from the exhaust!
Yes, it was a cracked head gasket. Moral of the story - if you can't see the leak, it's leaking inside the engine haha 😄 I've replaced it when I got home

Hey mate! Loving the vids. What are the headlights that you have!? I need them. haha
I just changed the light bulbs with LED, the headlight body is the same 😉
What size are the wheels and tyre!? Thanks very nice video 🥂
Hey, I've gone through several different sizes of wheels and tires. Best to check the walk-around videos to get the full picture.

Wow, a steven seagal doin youtube! Greetings young steven seagal

What jimmy is that? What modifications you have made?
That would be a long answer so I recommend you check the walkaround videos to see all mods done on the Jimny

30/9.5R15 ;) There is a full video review of the vehicle on the channel, check it out!
How much does it cost to make a Jimny like this? В лева ако може :)
About 2-3 times the value of the car 🙃
Cand faci vlog cu suzuki jimny offroad
✌🚙
How did you have the fuel capacity to do that?
With 35 liter fuel tank, the Jimny can go 200km+ offroad. I don't think we have a continuous 200km offroad roads in Europe without going on the asphalt and finding a gas station :)
Keep with the english content bro watching u from Macedonia
Greetings! :D will do!
Is offroad popular there too?
@@The4x4Lab Not really, I just got my drivers licence actually because I got interested in the whole off-road thing. I am thinking of investing in a new 4th gen Jimny as a first car, but I'm also looking at used 3rd generation also. What do you think?

Any chance you can translate what that message was carved into the rock please English would be preferred.
It used to be a gathering spot for Bulgarian resistance during Ottoman rule
Amazing video! What tire pressure do you use on your jimny off road?
About 1 bar (14psi) but im sure you can go lower since the Jimny is lightweight
Бампера стоковые или тюнинговые?
The front and rear bumpers are cut a bit to fit the bigger tires
You probably already figured this out but if you are losing coolant and its not leaking there is high chance its a head gasket problem
Yep, you're 100% correct - it was exactly the head gasket.
I have never faced such an issue before and I didn't know what it was at the time.
All replaced and fixed now :)
I den get it, you make content like you have 500k subs, but onlu have 625? i dont get it. one day YT will recommend you !
