- After the Jimny Swarm drive down The Great Ocean Road. I left Apollo Bay and literally headed for the hills - The Otways - in search of a place to camp and a little adventure in a little 4x4.
@offroadanimal
I really enjoyed watch this whole episode. especially your jimny doing wonders.
Thank you. I really appreciate you taking your time to watch my videos. I'm glad you're enjoying them.
Great stuff. Jimmy is not a small boy at all. Dynamite comes in small packages
Thank you. It's just the right size :D
Good job! Great vid, nice driving and most importantly… you chose the best colour Jimny.
Thanks mate. We didn't love the colour at first but now it's got all the gear and artwork on it. we reckon it looks very cool.
The Swarm was a lot of fun. I love the Otways, and not too far away for me living in Warrnambool. Always keen to catch up with other Jimny owners if your ever out that way again. Great little vid!
Yeah, it was a fun day. I hadn't explored the Otways much before. I plan to get back there this year.
The Offroad Animal Jimny has just been sold this week, so I won't be doing any more Jimny videos (and will probably lose 90% of my new subscribers 😄)
Woaaa what a legend all grip jimny...my dream car🤟🤟🤟...i love ur video dude..its epic
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it!!
Feeling soo relaxed while watching this... You shows a peaceful place ...❤️🔥, and I love Jimny's bonnet matte twin strips❤️🔥... Those almost remembering Mr.Bean's Mini 😍😍😍..luv frm IND❤️
Thank you. I would love to see Mr Bean in a Jimny 😁
Bumper makes Jimny look like a tank, cool.
Thanks. It's from Offroad Animal offroadanimal.com.au/predator-bull-bar-suzuki-jimny-jb74-2018-to-current/
Such cool cars!
Very cool. And fun to take offroading
Today 5 door Jimny has been launched at auto expo in India.
I saw that. Pity they're not putting a more powerful engine in it to carry the extra weight.
@@stevjosco.adventures even automatic gear box needs an upgrade to 6 speed.
@@stevjosco.adventures its hardly an extra 100 kilos, no point in putting a bigger engine fir a small increase in weight
@@deepankar94 I think it the current 3-door needs a bigger engine 😀
Hey mate! let me know when you come up to Brisbane!
Oh you got me. I was like - "wow nu jimny is pretty fast what? xD"
Hahaha. If you use your imagination, it is 😁
Bow saw and a couple of spare blades for those odd bit of trees. Or use the winch and reverse backwards, you should get traction
Cheers have a great day
Or a silky saw 👍
Would recommend to switch the position of antenna at the back .. will look more imposing ❤
A safe speed for the Jimny😂. It’s not just me then.
You can add a turbo and make a Jimny go faster, but you've still gotta take the bends slow... or end up on your roof 😁
Great video, amazing place, love the modifications. What are the section of the tyres?
Tyres are BF Goodrich M/T 235 75 R15, Wheels are from Dirty Life.
But ottoways I’m heading there next
I totally recommend the area but it gets a lot of rain so be prepared for mud.
you need a Ozito 18v chainsaw, its awesome
I think I'll get a Ryobi. I've already have the batteries
Get yourself a bowsaw for the Jimny. Very light and some of them fold away. Better than an axe for fallen trees and cheaper lighter than a chainsaw.
I need to get a good saw. I think the Silky Gomboy looks good. Scotty Goes Walkabout receommends this one.
@@stevjosco.adventures yea I had one of those, very good.
3:37 I think its doable, comon yo have a jimny its the best offroader in the world. He can do it. 😍😍🥰
When you dont go to the limit you will never know whhats your car can make.
I agree. I do wish I had gone down that muddy track.
@@stevjosco.adventures Yes your right, but a little bit I can understand your bad feelings, but instead of that you have a winch.
@pyrojunkie 04 It was also the thousands of mosquitoes I was worried about.
@@stevjosco.adventures 🤣🤣
Ryobi make a decent little battery powered chainsaw. Their tyre inflator has a built in pressure gauge and doubles as a high flow air bed inflator (I keep one in my truck all the time). They both use the same battery. Might be an option for you.
That's a good idea to have both. I already have Ryobi batteries for other tools. Thanks mate.
@@stevjosco.adventures spring for the HP model, you won't be disappointed.
Buy your self a silky saw there an arborist / survivalist saw. It will make light work of these trees it also small and compact requires no fuel except the user
I've just ordered a Silky Gomboy 270mm
How’s the fuel consumption when on the road? Do the big tyres make that much of a difference? Is your total range affected too much?
It's hard for me to say. The big tyres were put on not long after we bought the Jimny. I'd say they would affect fuel economy a little.
H There, what size tyres do you have fitted on your Jimny?
Mate I definitely think it’s time to buy your self a chainsaw but problem is the forestry might want to give you a job clearing trees for them lol
I'm happy to take their money 😁
@@stevjosco.adventures just buy a pull saw (e.g. a silky saw). They are relatively cheap, light, don’t need fuel, and you’d be amazed on how much quicker they can cut through a tree when compared to a hatchet (or axe). Just make sure you buy a longer one if you’re wanting to cut through trees, like the Katanaboy.
Mate, out 10 how many star would you rate a stock jimny as a daily driver?
Stock Jimny for a daily is like a 5/6 for me. And I love Jimnies. Adore them.
But the jump in quality when you start modding, is amazing
@@DdraigGoch84 how's the standard headlights? Does it comes with led headlights in all the variants?
I totally agree.
@@laloolhouvum1634 Jesus I don’t remember I’ve only rented one in Central Asia and it was a 2014 (?) model
Can u tell me what is the tyre size and ratio
Tyres are BF Goodrich M/T 235 75 R15, Wheels are from Dirty Life.
А грязь то где Друг?? Оф роуд Где??
@12:54 first time I hear another jimny fart
I promise it was the car 😽
You have a winch why not hit that track?
It was getting dark and the mozzies were in plague proportions. Not a place I wanted to be stuck in.
Я вибачаюсь, зачем две траурние ленточки на джимни? Україна.
