![ROAMS01E39 Camping In Our Jimny! Animals, Rooftoptents & Campfire Cooking (2020) [Eswatini Part 2]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/KtgWCDE6eEk/mqdefault.jpg)
This is EXACTLY how I’d like my Jimny, front grill and all!
I've never been outdoorsy, and hate the idea of camping, but ive ordered a jimny and now i want to stick a tent on it, and bbq some sausages in the scottish mountains 😂
ilikethingsfromjapan it’s great fun. sleeping in the Jimny is brilliant if you want save some money for more sausages 😝 I’ve wrote a guide on a good setup geordiejimny.com/sleeping-in-the-suzuki-jimny
It’s not so much sleeping under canvas that puts people off it’s sleeping on the floor, which is not what your doing here👍
Love these videos, such awesome mods!
Ian Farrar cheers brother 😎
It's very, very cool!
Great video. The more I watch these videos the more I wish we had these here in Canada. These would be perfect for where we are.
Thanks for watching. How I’d love to tour Canada!
Perfect build right there. All the right mods.
John R cheers John mate. It’s all trial and error. Got some things I still want to try but the goal is to keep it minimalistic. We’re not doing long overlanding trips or expeditions, so lots of the cool kit is just overkill.
Looks great buddy I can smell the water fall the wood fire and the outdoor air from here enjoy
🙌🏼😊
Oh my gosh this is a glorious job!
Thanks for watching Piccolo :)
Wow something very satisfying about this video, great work.
Cheers Andrew 🙌🏼
It would be a great way to spend a weekend
u made that small jeep very useful thats superb
Number 13 is the most wanted!!!!! LOL Great video, thanks for everything!!!!
Thanks for tuning in! 🤩👍
Another great video, mate! Superb.
Cheers mate ☺️
you inspire me mate, i'm thinking about buying a Jimny by the end of the year but couldn't decide the color, but Black it is. please keep uploading!
Thanks Nor I will keep making videos. Hope you land yourself a jimny they’re great fun.
Excellent video. I have enjoyed very much, jimny, custom parts, everything.
Velimir Cuvrk thank you 😊!!
Wooowwww! Amazing! Im in Love of this JIMNY! Defitenatly I love to have one! ALREADY legendar for me this car! So simply beautiful and versatile!
It’s a lot of fun! ☺️✌️
Well...
Again, she is a beauty 👍
Having said that, I was visiting friends yesterday and we talked about ... „how much car does one actually needs?“ ...
And the Jimny for me is a PERFECT fit 💪
It's surprisingly roomy for a little car 😊
Didn't expect that massive boat
Best bit of the video 😉
Some beautiful gear there😍. One of the small bits I'll be chasing are the aftermarket plastic mouldings you can get to cover up those rear-window de mister electrical contacts on the bottom of the rear window, the 'weather strips' over the tops of the wood windows are always great to have👍
Got mine here mate jimnystyle.com/collections/featured/products/rear-defogger-guards-for-suzuki-jimny-2018
🤣😁👍❗️, spot-on brother, it was the Jimnistyle Website where I saw them, they've got some lush stuff. Japanese site APIO Rakuten / Jimni shop APIO has some nice stuff too.....can't say as I'm itching to get a Yoshimura performance exhaust though.... 🤔Think I'll have to get my son to translate if I visit their location in Japan- when we can fly again 😞. Just looked at my 'wish list' of saved photos - it was the Jimnistyle site that led me to look at APIO 🤣😜👍
Brilliant!
Great Video! It has inspired me a lot. I have a white one and I can't wait to equip it like your Jimny. Bravo from the Philippines!
Thanks! 🍻
Great video !
I think you're driving a dream car right now. I admired the work you do. You paid great attention to the details. Good job !
Greetings from Turkey...
Thank you for the encouragement! Hope all is well in Turkey 😎👍
@@GeordieJimny you're welcome :)
WE WANT MORE!!!!!!!! 🇵🇱💪
Nice setup my friend. Happy trails.
Thank you. Same to you 😊🙌🏼
Very well thought through for a one to two person short period camping/overlanding. Neat. I suppose that a extended trip with two persons require a trailer for the gear if you don't pack like a hiker. We once went three persons in a two door Grand Vitara for over four days. The Suki was loaded to the limit.
Yeah mate I reckon the sweet spot is 2 passengers for 1-3 nights. Any more than that and you’re probably going to need some well planned stop offs in civilisation. Thankfully not an issue here in the UK though.
This is amazing! Really love this lifestyle. Wanna buy one in HK!!
🤩👍
Man this is so cool! I have a 99 Vitara JLX and i'd love to do these things too!!
😎🙌🏼
Loving the Suzuki buddy .. looks mint .. Roof tent is Awesome… cheers Chris & Sam
Thanks 😊- I’ve actually just sold it. Started a DIY roof tent build. Fingers crossed it all works out well 😅
@@GeordieJimny look forward to vid then … cheers Chris & Sam
Awesome vids I'm after one my self the lcv one when it comes out
I love it !
OMG I am soo in love with this car!! A shame they are not selling it in austria at the moment- seem to be quite popular. Would kill for my own jimny.
They’re a Fun little thing 😊
You are awesome man🖤🖤🖤
Cheers 🍻
Ha! I got the 'million dollar man' reference. 👍🏼
I’m glad someone did! It blew my special effects budget 😉
Badiya zindagi hai tumhari👍
Great vid!
Thanks!
Bravo
I would that on the beach set up like that grilling some food on the bbq and a few cold beers👍
Sounds ideal to me!
Good. Very nice..
Custa tanto quanto um trailer, por mais incrível que possa parecer!!!
man thank you. just thank you.
You're welcome mate 🙌🏼
Greece, loves Jimny
🇬🇷 👏🏼
Cat knocks over ladder = gameover
The ladder is fixed to the tent. would be a stupid design if you could just knock it over 😂
これは最高！！！
最高ですね👍👍👍
Awesome
Just stumbled on your page mate . Love the set up . I’ve used that slipway many times . SS boat club
Hi mate, Shields is great eh! Shame I can’t camp there, I’d be hauled up in bother with someone I’m sure. Lovely spot though.
@@GeordieJimny aye definitely someone will complain. We do a fair bit across west coast , mull of Galloway . Camp literally 20 Mt from beach £2 a night fires allowed etc great spot especially with your setup
@@markburton155 yeah? We’ll have to do that one mate. Sounds perfect. Had loads of plans, but covid... had the setup finished for less than 12 months then stuck in restrictions as you know for ages now :)
Here’s to some good times ahead 🤞🤞🤞
Nice 👍
Thanks ✌
High, an interesting picture. Kindly Fiete
Dear Geordie, I like these videos. Regarding the "BOOT LINER 4:00
• Rubber load tray area by Suzuki" from where did you buy? And how did it cost? Thank you,
Arvinrent Rental hello 👋🏼 I bought it from a Suzuki dealership in the UK www.suzuki-shop.co.uk/Load-Area-Tray £63. I’ve since seen some great options that are less cost on eBay too rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F254434224031 I think that one may extend a bit further towards to rear seats too. Hope this helps buddy
Hello! I’m Japanese!
America has a lot of wonderful nature!
I want to go there too! 😆
Yeah would love to visit there and Canada 👍👍👍
me gusta ese modelo de Jimny y carpa.. Saludos desde Chile stgo.
Saludos :)
NICE
Thx ☺️
I like the new Suzuki looks like a Land Rover 90...
nice videos. found them last night and watching them all. where is this bay?
🤩✌🏻 it’s next to the little haven hotel on mouth of The River Tyne, north east UK. I sneaked down for a quick video, I wouldn’t be able to camp there unfortunately. Such a shame as it’s a lovely spot.
やっぱジムニー似合いますね
😊👍
이뿌다👍
Nice set up love the roof top tents but the prices are just silly shame there isn't a company that do finance on them got a sub 👍
Cheers Shane. Yeah roof tent costs can go crazy high.
めちゃめちゃ良い...☀️
ありがとう 😊
Маленький, да - удаленький ! Лозунг Джими
I like it.....
Thanks!
Nice! Do you think it would be necessary to change for a better suspension if you add a tent or if you add some extra gallons?
Hi, with stock suspension I felt having less than 60kg total roof was best. 70kg at a push but even with OME suspension I prefer the feel of my current setup which is 52kg (load bars, awning, tent). That's just me however, I see many Jimny's with what must be 80kg+. I tried 72kg at one point but it was forever on my mind while driving as it was definitely effecting how safe it was.
Jimny mit Dachzelt - genial. Wir haben es aufm Duster.
Mein Freund hat einen tollen Offroad-Staubtuch! instagram.com/p/B50ZiusJAsi/?igshid=10wlkvv4s0kvn 😊👍
@@GeordieJimny schaut auch super aus. Wir haben ein Skycam 2.0 drauf.
Das beste Dachzelt meiner Meinung nach! Wenn ich mir nur einen leisten könnte 😅
Wir haben es auch ganz neu und gegen mein altes PrimeTech eingetauscht. Bin schon ganz gespannt. Hab gleich darin verliebt.
ジムニーいいなぁ。僕もジムニーでキャンプに行きたい。
we have a lot of Jimmys in Brazil
ルーフテントすごい気になってます。このトップがハードタイプじゃ無いルーフテントは保管するときに車に乗せっぱなしだと思うのですが、雨天時に中に水がはいりこみませんか？また雨天時の走行中(高速と街乗り)はどうですか？
こんにちは！ テントは素晴らしい性能を発揮します。 非常に軽量で、簡単に取り外しできます。 私たちは通常、寒い冬の数ヶ月までずっと屋根の上に置いておきます。 テントが軽量で薄型（37kg、200mm）であることを確認した主な理由は、運転中にうまく扱えるようにするためです。 ジムニーでは65 mphを超えることはめったになく、非常によく走ります。 お役に立てれば ：）
Awesome videos! I would love to do this kind of thing. Where do you find where you can park up and stay for the night?
Thanks Darren. Where I shot that video I'd not be allowed to stay the night. I sneaked there during the day for a nicer backdrop than my front street :)
As for places to camp. Obviously there's lot of great UK campsites that many allow cars onto and there's some wild camping style commercial sites too that gets you back to nature a bit. There's not total freedom as you'd expect given that all land in the UK is owned but there's options for sure. And many more in Scotland.
Many thanks for the reply, much appreciated. The woodland camps you tend to use in your videos, are they the commercial type ones you refer too?
How much weight can the top handle? Perfect accessories!
Hi, personally I’d not ride around with more than 60kg maybe 70kg at an absolute max. I’m exceeding the manufacturers limits though so anyone doing this is at their own risk. It’s a light and nimble car which is why I’ve focused on making the setup as light as possible. It’s 52kg up top for me 👍
Круто👍
👏👏👏💪
Hello, random Q, but what are the boots you're wearing? I did look to see if anyone else had asked but sorry if you've had this before. Love your videos though and the detail you've put into all the modifications.
Hi Sam, they’re actually cheapo tactical boots from AliExpress 😅👍 really like them.
Do you recommend Jimny Style LED tail lights? How easily can brake/turn signal lights be seen during day time?
They’re very bright. I like them, way nicer than stock lights 👍
日本語字幕ありがとうございます。😄👍
😊👍
my dreams
At 4:06 how did you manage to make the seatbelt like that? That's pretty neat, mine usually isn't when I fold the seats down.
I used a money clip to keep the seat belts out the way 😁
Where I can buy this tent for my jimny? Thanks this is awesome!
Hi Boris there's a link in the description, then tap camping 👍
Wicked video! You’ve actually done quite a bit overall!🙂 very interested where you got those floor mats though? I have been searching for ages for floor mats!
Good editing too and good background tune
Also really like the fact you have left background noise in the video 🙂
Thanks buddy. Trying my best, it’s quite confusing making videos lol. I ordered the mats from Hodgson Suzuki at Silverlink Newcastle. 👍
Missed out the tent foam matting, quick release mounts, telescopic ladder mod, mud flaps, dash tray, rear boot protector trim, front grille and obviously the ceramic coating as that’s impossible to see lol
@@GeordieJimny do a all around video about thoese aswell and from inside the tent, love you setup, keep posting about it! Good luck?
Gherman Dan sure 😊 got lots more videos planned
wow
Thanks for watching :)
Hi. Nice video. Wats the new tyre spec?
Hi it’s in the description for you mate 👌🏻
Thanks 🙏
How do you like the tires? I have a chance to get 215/80/15s on my Jimny, it's my first choice.
I went with 215/75R15, been extremely happy. Good size and low weight.
I’m buying some new wheels at the end of this month so I’ll be changing to 215/70R16 to try and keep close to the feel of the 15s. Fraction bigger overall but definitely heavier which is unfortunate :/
It Looks nice - but what Happens if there is a storm?
We sleep inside the jimny geordiejimny.com/sleeping-in-the-suzuki-jimny. If the weather’s really bad and a proper storm we wouldn’t spend the night there though. It’s still just a tent after all :)
This product is very beautiful, I want to get it, how do I get this product. Possible link to the company to buy?
Link in description to kit list 😁
良いですね～😁
ありがとうございました 😁
What’s the music title and artist please?
In fact, you can see so many jimny everyday in Japan
esukeTube i live in japan. but there is few jimny
It is imported in China,300000 Chinese money 😄
Where do you put your surfboards and kayak?
I’m not a good swimmer 😉 only use the car for land based fun.
If you‘re into that kind of thing you can get roof tents with additional bars on. IKamper do a cool one. Or just put them up top on a normal rack if you don’t need a tent.
Car looks spot on! Really wished the boss got one of these. If you need any help with a suspension setup, I run a garage over in Durham looking after 4x4s and would love to assist if we can. 🤘
H R Auto Specialists, sorry for the shameless plug, but shy bairns and all that. Keep up the good work.
Nah mate it’s cool! I don’t mind a shameless plug at all haha. I’ve got a lift booked but will keep you in mind for stuff in the future 👍
By Boss, you mean wife? I can personally vouch for H R Auto's... They have helped me out on many occasions!
Я когда-нибудь тебя куплю, обязательно куплю
Can you leave your sleeping bags in the tent if you fold it down ?
pim1234 yeah there’s quite a bit of room. I haven’t left mine in there as yet, not sure why to be honest. The mattress that comes with the tent I removed as it’s not very comfy and I added my own 12cm mattresses for a better night sleep. Adds a few minutes to the set up time but it’s worth it to actually get some sleep :)
@@GeordieJimny and it is a a Frontrunner Featherlight ? What Awning is it ?
Which roof tent are you using?
Hi, It’s the Front runner tent.
South Shields? Looks like the place i walk my dog :)
Yes mate 👍 down next to the little haven. Sneaked down for some open space 😉
Geordie Jimny Camper haha thought so. Can I ask how long you waited for delivery on your Jimny? Apologies if already been discussed, only just happened to stumble across your channel while looking at reviews.
No worries mate. I got mine a year ago and it took 6 months but I know the waiting list is worse now. Give Hodgson Suzuki a shout mate they’re spot on and managed to get me one. I wanted auto so that might be why I got it in a decent timeframe.
Geordie Jimny Camper Thanks for the info mate. Yeah when they were first announced me and the Mrs hummed and hared about ordering one. Wish we had of now, as you say the waiting list seems to be even bigger now!
Might see you around Shields sometime. Happy camping 😃
Ding Ding cheers mate 👍
How Much did you spent for the complete upgrade.
The car has changed a bit since this video but at the time the total cost was approximately £1700
멋지네
감사 😊
Vcs podem mandar aqui pra Amazônia pra mim ?
What's that custom mounts thing? 🤔
Just something I made to store the headrests in. Acts like a backrest when I sit in the back having a coffee.
Day to day we have the rear seats down but they’re there ready to go back onto the seats if we need to pop them up for any unexpected passengers.
price?
I put Names on the description of each item so you can google it for current pricing.
А-у-е-н-Н-н-о
Have u had rust issues in the roof mounting points?
No rust on mine mate. There’s slight surface rust is starting to show on some of the bolts after 12 months. I’ll probably replace them at some point.
@@GeordieJimny Thank u for answering, in the long term u may need an appropriate coating under the anchors and bolts
Dom MM cheers for the heads up 🙌🏼
Brand and tipe tenda??
Hi... donde lo compro???
hi, que articulo quieres ?
Como compro uma barraca dessas pro meu jimny
