in my opinion the best jeep of last 10 years, real 4x4, strong traditional design, affordable price, quality and appeal, really a great product, will be my next jeep for alps for sure...
Thanks for the continuous support Blaine! Im going to try and work on it more in the coming videos too. (it just means it takes longer to make the actual videos :P)
The production value in your videos is awesome, I get so hyped up watching stuff like this! Reeeeally can't wait till I get my license. Looking forward to more videos!
This video was a real change to the others you’ve posted. Amazing footage, well edited. All in all a top notch but all too short clip. The Jimmy looks great in SA. Keep the adventures coming. 👍
Thank you so much for the great review. I want to keep the level of these video's high. It just means I need to dedicate more time to the post production! I would also like to get a drone in the near future to help with some beautiful landscape shots, as well as give another perspective to see the vehicle from! If the channel continues to grow at the current rate, I really think my visions will come to life.
Amazing breath taking scenery you have in SA... I ordered my Jimny this morning :) :) UK SZ5 top spec version, Metallic Blue, Manual. I found a dealer with one available for the week of 7th Jan.. I have have to travel 280 miles to get it... But it will be worth it. :)
Great video 👍 My Jimny in Chiffon Ivory will arrive at the end of January, but i already ordered some nice stuff 😂 My plan is, to make it a micro camper with a tiny removable kitchen block. My parts list so far: -Rhino Rack heavy duty carriers -ARB awning -autohome Columbus roof tent -small water supply kit -portable gas cooker -cooling box (absorbtion) My only concern is the overload of the car, but as you mentioned the after market shocks and springs will be available soon as all the other nice stuff! Subscribed, keep them coming 👍 Greetings from germany
I hope to see more videos, and see what jimny can do in S A montains I have a Samurai that will be 19 yo in may and still like the first day. May be one day i can have the new one....... i remember in mozambique on the way to Ponta do Ouro, a beach that is border with SA, on rainy season, the only car that could go on some parts of the road, was the suzuki........keep posting videos.......regards
Thanks Andrew, thats great to hear! It is definitely harder work! I dont know if the next video will be exactly the same, as I am just trying to find my style and obviously the next video was already recorded before I edited this one, but this style will definitely become a new thing for the future! I hope you stay around to watch the videos improve and the Jimny hopefully travel across Africa! :D
Your best video to date. The production value is top notch. This is very professional and your editing skills are on point. Man SA is magical. I recon you need a Mavic Pro to step things us a notch. Hope your channel explodes in 2019.
Thanks Dean! I really appreciate the solid feedback! A Drone would definitely take things a step up. 2019 Goal 1 = Mavic. Hopefully the channel grows enough to buy one soon! :D
You live in an amazing country. Beautiful camera work. Keep the videos coming. The drive reminds me of a car trip my wife and I took through Nevada a few years ago.
Love your videos, and your Jimny. Saw you drive past me inside Heritage Park in Somerset West. Small world. Looking forward to see your video from the Helderberg trail.
Thordur Thorsson WOW! Can’t believe that. Been living here for the past three weeks with Family! I don’t even know how you happened upon this video 😁 thanks for the positive feedback! Next one coming soon!
Roam Overlanding - Found your videos when I wanted to learn more about the new Jimny. Then saw your car yesterday and recognized the new model and your jerrycans on top and you inside when you came closer. It looks lika a great 4x4 but unfortunately bit tiny for me and my wife, two kids and two dogs.
I just arrived home yesterday and our trip was over 5000km’s in total. And it really wasn’t a nightmare. I would get in the car again today and drive more if I had to

@@RoamOverlanding Haha! Small world indeed! Just did not have the time to chat to you! Was on my way to the airport to drop my son off. Looking forward to watch the new video.
Hardly halfway through, it dawned on me, i have to lile this video... the choice of music did me in but great editing overall. Your travel experience as seen through the footage is very inspiring.
Thanks for the feedback Jesse, I'm going to try work on finding better songs to suite the videos. I hope you stick around and watch some future videos to see the changes :)
I like the Style of your Videos and also your Jimny. Mine is also ordered but here in Germany the deliverytime is really long. I am looking forward to your further videos and my own jimny. So Happy and exciting new Year 2019
Good review! Love the color too! I would have bought a Jimny if they sold them in the US, but they don't. So, I bought a 2019 Jeep Renegade instead. I love it so far.
Looks like so much fun , is that car really Big enough for long trips of more than a week? What colour is the Jimny ? Great videos , thank you so much for sharing your adventures
Great couple.. Just want to kno what things do u carry when u travel... Like ur reserve fuel carrier is awesome but cant get a good view.. What things we cant forget to carry in such a long ride ??
Hey Reuben, thanks for getting in touch! The fuel carrier alloys me to carry 2 20L jerry cans, so an extra 40L of petrol. I always make sure I have a tent, a chair, a stove and a table, for me it makes my life so much easier just having those things. So you can see the table is stored under the roofrack.
Outstanding video and footage, really felt like I was there. What amazing scenery as well. In your second video ever uploaded 'I Bought The New Suzuki Jimny (ROAM 2018)' I saw a nifty little boot liner at the 03:19 mark. Where did you get that from as it's really nice.
Superb video, thanks for sharing your journey, I am in the UK, the unit is being released here next week, due to old football injuries I need the auto, I can find no feed back on this version, and no demo unit available in this spec, do you have any knowledge if at 60 mph the revs are similar on the 4 speed auto to that of the 5 speed manual,?
Sorry to hear about the injury! I think the Auto will be a great vehicle too. Im not sure how the RPM on the auto, but ill try arrange a test drive when Im back at my local dealer, just to help give people some feedback.
Thank you for your reply, I hope the first gearing and the fourth gearing on the auto are the same dimensions as the first and fifth on the manual therefore giving the same rpm at top levels, and being less gears in the auto could reduce any unnecessary searching, but these answers are not forthcoming as yet from the GB dealerships, anyway, keep safe, and live the life. God Bless.
Even if the gearing is exactly the same as 1-4 of the manual, it would still be nice! I think the only place where it would miss out of 0-60 is in the gear changes. I am going to try arrange a test drive of the Auto soon, so I can give some feedback for you guys!
It looks so low to the ground. Do you think you will get a suspension lift at any point? I have a grey Jimny on order and am already looking into what mods I can make.
Its quite a load! I would probably say 150kg+ but must have been more with a full tank of fuel and then extra fuel on the roof too. Im going to be adding some airbags on the rear springs, to help with load. But this is the first test to see these types of things so I know what I need when it comes to working on the suspension at a later point.
I just want to ask, why do you prefer the Jimny than other 4x4 SUV's. We all know that other 4x4 SUV's have more powerful engines than Jimny. I also want this Jimny but I'm a little bit confuse if I will get a Jimny or a bigger one
It’s engine is half the size of large 4x4s but it’s kerb weight is half as well so it isn’t that bad. If the Jimny had a little turbo Diesel engine it would be a beast.
Roam Overlanding that sounds awesome, i'd wish to own one if someday suzuki put 5 doors in it like the indonesian samurai, i got a long body samurai but is getting old
Not really, mostly crime happens in populated areas. When im out in the middle of nowhere, its actually a huge relief to not have to stress about safety!
in my opinion the best jeep of last 10 years, real 4x4, strong traditional design, affordable price, quality and appeal, really a great product, will be my next jeep for alps for sure...

Big thumbsup for your channel to make these superb classy video of Suzuki Jimny
Glad you like it!
Nice change in style there seems you two make a good team when it comes to producing videos. Some absolutely breath taking scenery. More please 👍🏻
Thanks for they great feedback Daniel, I must say I did also feel more confident in uploading this one! Glad you enjoyed, and ill keep them coming!
Great story telling Adrian. I am captivated and looking forward to more. Well done and may you have many more adventures.

It will definitely be overloaded! 😂 but what the heck!
this is why people buy the Jimny.
because the price is cheap and the maintenance is easy, don't forget to save fuel
A capable offroader in a budget
definitely!
Pretty sweet views out there! i like mountains
Great Review, South Africa is a treasure for offroad landscape lovers.
Thanks man! I really does! I can’t wait to just explore it all.
Stunning scenery! Can't wait for the next longer episode.
Thanks Jamil! Its pretty much ready to go, just want to tweak it a bit more and make it extra nice for you guys!

Seen yesterday at dealership but the guy told me 18 month delivery time here in Australia so I didn’t bother have test ride but Jimny look awesome.
With your heavy equippment you need a suspension upgrade ha ha.
Brilliant video as always!
Looks like so much fun , is that car really Big enough for long trips of more than a week?

I have 660cc jimny. enjoy ! from JAPAN
Im so interested in trying that 660cc to see how it feels to drive!
It's a small engine, but it's very easy to handle and I am not dissatisfied with high-speed driving.

Mphethe Mokoakoe it’s too strong! I keep needing to turn the temperature up to like 25 😂
Do you worry about safety at all with your trips?
Not really, mostly crime happens in populated areas. When im out in the middle of nowhere, its actually a huge relief to not have to stress about safety!
