ROAMS01E20 Climbing Mountains Offroad in a Jimny with a Rooftop Tent 4x4ing??
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มิ.ย. 2019
- An incredible adventure awaited us. We left late that night, and would find ourselves driving my Jimny through darkness to arrive on a strange farm in the middle of nowhere, in bitterly cold weather. We were not prepared, but the Three Provinces would make me questions whether I made the right decision or not, to tackle it alone.

I think I definitely could have dropped the tire pressures abit more! I prefer to see abit more flex in my rubber! I also put a sneaky little discount code in the description for those devoted few who actually read it, its for the new merch so if you want to grab something from there, now is the time!
What is the maximum weight you are allowed to put on the roof? What does the approval certificate say? In Austria it will be something like 160 pounds (~70 kg or so), so I doubt it is even allowed to attach the tent.
And did you customize the roof in any way, or did it withstand you both sleeping there being stock?
Sry for bad english and greetings from Austria!
@@karl-leopoldkontrus6544 New info: the Dutch importer of Suzuki says it's advisable not more then 30 kg for stability when driving, otherwise no max is known to him.
How long is the roof line?
@@pim1234I have the same answer in France. It would be nice to have an official response from Suzuki
Hello,
Thank you for your excellent channel. I have a question, what is the maximum weight that the jimny roof can withstand officially rolling? I live in France and my Suzuki dealer tells me only 30kg (66 pounds).
What a litle big car......i have a samurai 19yo, and everything original, still working like a new suzuki....big machine!
There’s no better feeling than doing a track solo and beating a sphincter clenching obstacle. That’s the whole idea of off roading!! You’ll gain confidence the more you get out there and attack the trails solo. This is definitely your best video yet and the Jimny looks mint!! Keep the off road clips coming!
THanks for the awesome feedback bud! :D I'm definitely learning my way around this little beast.
Glad to be motivating you to get out and take advantage of your surroundings :D (Also that you still studied)
It’s incredible what the Jimny can do with that engine.
Guys... You have the best off roader in the world. Keep weeling))
Every video you post makes me want a jimny more and more
Looks like the new Jimmy is on its way to becoming a new classic and legend, ably assisted by your adventures. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for tuning in bernard!
Awesome journey. Good tracks, good view, great car. And for sure nice driver.
" This is insanity, but we're going to give it a go". Love your attitude 👍
Hahaha! :D I'm glad it was worth it! :D
But you diiiiiid ittttt! What's champion. Beautiful overlays with the long exposure shots of the stars at naaaight brother! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💌🇿🇦
Much love brother! Long time no see, I hope you’re doing well 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Jimmy is little ninja in off roading... Nice content as always
Amazing adventure! Those were some serious trails. What a little beast that thing is. Awesome episode, looking forward to part 2!
I love these unexpected and epic adventures!
I love what you did to your jimny! Served its purpose on that trail
Definitely! 👏🏻
Well done guys. Always take the easiest route when alone (even if it's just one rock)! Great looking vid, thanks.
Nice! But I think you should have a looksee where those "rock sliders" hooked up on the rocks. When you had them fitted at Wild Dog, I recall raising the issue about the mounting bracket being too low. Maybe let them look at a redesign.
Yeah, there is a very fine line between rocksliders and sidesteps. 😂 for now it’s still better than my normal sills taking that damage. I’ll hopefully get under with a camera to show what’s happening under there
You've accomplished a great job. Continue Pursuit 👍
Love it mate. Let's hear the Jimny doing some low range work.
Awesome video, looks like a beautiful campground and secluded from those not brave enough to visit:) I’m putting a deposit down on my Jimny today so excited. Decided on white, as all the black accessories compliment it well.
The white looks great! I’m also a big fan 🤟🏻
you must not live in canada then!
I hope i can do that experience 👍
That's look very enjoyable...
Great vid mate! Good suspension setup too.👍🏻💪😎
That's a great looking little truck
You can make your own solar shower for that rig. Just get PVC pipe from the hardware and cheap shower rose and hang it on the opposite side to your awning. Just a word of advise don’t go by yourself. There was a very young couple in Victoria Australia recently who went on the 4X4 trail by themselves rolled off a mountain side. Police and searchers found their bodies in the vehicle Landcruiser crushed against a tree days later. So always go with a group for anything really even just bush walking.
So great to see a Jimny used porperly !
OMG you're literally living my dream; a Suzuki Jimny with a khaki color and a rooftop tent on it. The only difference is the right handed steering wheel...
Wohoooo.. This was too extreme for a jimny :O what a good car that is!
Those trails gave me the chills! I thought u will flip over. One. Scary. Ride.
It was adrenaline the whole day long!! Thanks for tuning in brother!
Thank you for this video!!
im enjoying watching yr video. Nice car and nice set up too. I have a truck but never try offroad yet. i guess maybe i need a good setup like yours first. Good suspension, good rooftop tent etc. Keep it up mate!
I'm surprised at how stable it looks with the roof tent. Opens up possibilities! :) Truly epic trip man, hats off!
This was extreme! Jimny you beauty!!! Now what else do you want Jimny to do??? Well done and respect....
Only time will tell! :P Thanks for watching!
Well done. (Watching in Costa Rica)
Thanks for tuning in James!
Mate the car is looking awesome. Big fan of small 4wd's and getting them set up for touring can be challenging but you are going great. Keep the vids coming.
Thanks bud! Its certainly a challenge but Its getting all the creative juiced flowing
Damn! One question though.
What is it that this Jimny can't do?
Now I am just mad for not having one.
It cannot fly and swim too.
Hauling, proper towing obviously, taking more than 2 people and gear.
Oliver Janeba it’ll happily tow a couple of JetSki runabouts
Me too!
Oh yeah, my dream truck and love the Rooftop Tent.
Geez i thought ud bloody come here to Oz when I saw the sheep.Love the vids.keep up the great work
The tent is really great and your suspension upgrade has really improved the overall stance and hight. Love your videos "Zulu Warrior"... 😊👌🏾👍🏾
Hahah 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Well done ,impressive driving .
🤟🏻🤟🏻 thanks bud!
Tree Provinces is one of my favourite places to travel to and do some 4x4 Overlanding. I think on some of those obstacles a proper rear locker would have helped a tone! But yeah good on you that is not an easy trail!
And as for that trail in the rain honestly, you won't make it without some damage on The Jimny. The convoy we travelled with had some serious Overlanding setups and it was road building and just a major mission to get everybody safely through. Lots of fun, but deadly!
This jimny is indeed a little beast...cant believe it went up that one
Nice video, keep going 💪
I'm so surprised and impressed that you can run a roof top tent on this thing. How has it effected the ride and even the stability in the wind with it blocking so much of the aerodynamics of the car? I want one
Me gustó mucho tu vídeo y sobre todo el jimny ......👍👍👍
The Jimny certainly performs off road! amazing setup too, just goes to show you don't need a large vehicle to live out of
That’s exactly what I’m trying to prove 🤟🏻
Excellent thanks.
Suzuki Jimmy é o melhor carro para ser ter aqui no Brasil!
Best car in the world! Overtake any road. Very cool
Loving your channel, bud. Good job.
Thanks for tuning in bud!
Awesome Video Man...!!!
Wow..nice jimny..
Damn, I really enjoy your videos mate! cheers!
Thanks so much bud! Glad you enjoyed.
Fantastico really very nice 👍🇮🇹
Well done.. You brave to do that alone. Let us know if any damages to the vehicle so we know what to look out for or expect.
I will do 👍🏻
Nice vid! Definitely going to have to visit that campsite 😉
You gotta do it!
Love this video!
Amazing camping where you want 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
It's so pretty cool
Love it!
Amazing, dream car
So Cool!
That jimny looks awesome!! but i want a van that kind of have that 80% that jimny has.
I like the nice calm voice
Cheers from Perth, West Oz. Putting in my order in December for a Jimny from watching your vids 👍 good stuff mate.
Enjoy mate!
Amazing!!! Starting a budget for a new Jimny plus the kit.
another question after you change the suspension did you adjust the heigh already? if yes by how much.
Super! i wish i could have this in Malaysia
R Saleh import one from Japan, even an older model is amazing off-road
Nice video and gorgeous looking JB64 you’ve got there!... I own one in jungle green and I gotta tell you. Lower your tire pressure bud, there is nothing that Jimny can’t do even with factory tires although I have M/T Toyos open country on mine. You will see and feel the difference right away
Yeah definitely agree with you there bud 👌🏻
Hello. Great video. This is exactly what I’m looking for! The Bonbraai set you have is amazing. I intended to buy it on line but they don’t deliver in Mexico or EUA. Could you help me where can i find it, please? Cheers amigo.
I'am brasilian. Very good adventure
Its great to have you join us! :D
Like always an excellent report on our beautiful South Africa and the country's favourite off road vehicle. A question, did you find the vehicle to lack torque concurring these inclines. Would a lower gear have helped?
I did find the torque to be abit short, I think because of the altitude and extra weight. I would consider doing a gear reduction if I put any bigger tyres on, but there are also few tracks that match the challenge of the Three Provinces 👍🏻
@@RoamOverlanding I appreciate the manner in which you answer questions. It shows understanding. A last remark from me, I recall you are currently running 215/80/15 tyres which are already 2 sizes larger than stock. Is that correct? I ask these questions because I work and live in Saudi Arabia and consider buying a Jimny to eventually drive back to SA routing the less traveled roads. Thank you.
Im actually running 215/75/15 I would definitely want to regear if I went to 235/75/15 or 215/80/15. Im hoping to do the opposite and drive this thing all the way to Europe :P
Great videos!!
excellent!
Great vid and I’d love the Jimny but unavailable in the USA. Anyway I’m a Jaapie and not once did I hear where you were traveling in SA, or a specific location...where was this vid filmed, and good work.
good off road.
Awesome!
daaaamnnn this car is awesome, hope suzuki releases a 5 door someday
i'd love to do what you do, but whit the family
That would be awesome! :)
5door or at least just 1 meter longer for storage in back
5 door has been launched, booked one for myself.
@@OverLandingGuy it's been presented, not launched yet, but yes, looks awesome
Man this Jimny looks ow-some and great!!! The suspension, front and rear bumbers, tyres make the vehicle looks muscular...
It definitely does enhance the look, but it still looks like a Jimny 👍🏻
@@RoamOverlanding Yeah it shouldn't loose the original look of the jimny...
Basically how much should one budget for all the accessories added in this little Jimny
It’s certainly not cheap, I think you’d be looking at over R100,000.00 so far
good video, like seeing these videos of the Jimny
tip for watchers: playback speed at 1.5
I love jimny ... hope i c it soon in india
Dipping biscuit in coffee, that's so Filipino 🤣🤣
Hahaha 😂
Nice good bro
Not too bad, for a Jimny.
Good videos 🇫🇷👍🏻
soooo cool. I wish they would sell it on the US
Wow,really spectacular your trip with the roof tent, I did not think that this way to go. Can you briefly list again which conversions you made on the vehicle. How heavy are your roof tent, your awning and your roof rack together?
Hey Kleini, the tent awning and rack comes to about 110-120kg all together. And then I widened the wheel track at 32mm and then improved the suspension to handle the weight
I thought the max u can take on the max roof is 30 kg!
@@RoamOverlanding Hi this is really heavy, in europa, only 50 kg are allowed, therefore i bought a roof tent from autocamp, marco polo Family 160x 220 with 45 kg weight on a integreated roof rack with 3 kg, but it' s good to see that 120 kg are also no problem for the jimny. Thanks alot. Good luck for the second part. Chears kleini
Time for reduction gears?
I have a 3.61 ratio low range in my jimny. Makes things much easier in the hills, but it is expensive.
Bit looks like she did very well.
I’m considering it! Especially if I want to put anything bigger than 215/75/15 on
@@RoamOverlanding That's the factory size on my Jeep TJ. Maybe consider 31"/33" tires??
@@RoamOverlanding If you're considering regearing (reduction gears), you may want to put in a selectable lockers too. It be more expensive but cheaper in the longer run.
7:49 only South Africans will know that sign 😂
😂😂
watching here in Philippines!
Doesn't have a jimny. I don't know why, I'm just enjoying watching your vlog. Hoping someday to drive and experience touring in a jimny!
Well thanks for watching!! 😱 maybe one day I’ll find some people to host a tour out here 👍🏻
@@RoamOverlanding really?! 😮 cool! 😍 thanks bro!
Love it, so much effort!
How do you have a roof top tent only 30kg limit and a roof rack takes half of that ? Well in Aus with the GLX model
Expecting soon in India 🥰
Top Video!
Increíble!!!
How are you finding the wheel spacers? Any negative side effects ?
Nope, just more stability 👍🏻
Thanks for the video, really nice. Just one Question, where can i buy this fire bowl? I absolutely love it!!!
Its called the Bonbraai! Its the best thing! :)
@@RoamOverlanding Thanks a lot :)
Im you biggest fan in Middle East ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇸🇦
Hahah! I’m so glad 🤟🏻 one day I’ll come out there and you can show me some epic spots 👍🏻
Roam Overlanding it’s my honor to have you in my place and you will enjoy I promise you 😍
3:46 the car couldnt tolerate and got stuck hahaha
Wish they would sell these in America i love my 4runner for overlanding but for a puddle jump weekend this would be fun.
I like this video.
My one friend went there in a land cruiser , apparently the one hill there he couldn't make it up .... is it really that tuff ?
It’s just very steep, and difficult to judge what’s in front of you without a spotter when all you see is the sky 😂
Nice video
hey what camera were you using here??
loks great on zooming and auto stuff...
It’s the Sony A7iii with a Tamron 28-75
