    I have been really struggling to make a decision between the Gen3 Jimny and The Gen 4. I love the Gen 3 and can afford the Gen 3. This video gave me clarity that the Gen 3 is still capable and relevant. Thank you for this...All love from Gauteng.

    hi. enjoy your trip. We have the same setup on our roof, but we placed the tent in the middle to spread the weight between the 4 mounts on the roof. Now I got myself a double Jerry Can setup. I would like to add this to my roofrack, like yours, but are worried about moving our tent towards one side. Do you see any problems with putting more weight to 2 of the roof mounts? my wife and I together about 160kg. Cheers

      @jimnothy_and_friends Місяць тому

      Hello! It’s a bit of squeeze but you need to set the tent forwards. Andrew sleeps towards the rear as he is heavier. Dm us and we can send some close up pics of the setup.

    Dunes on that road not too hectic (don't stress too much). Isuzu 3l crossed those dunes at 15-25km/h fully loaded in the middle of the day (ruts make it tricky to go fast). Traction controll off and low tyre pressure.

      The Western Cape and the greater Kruger area would definitely by our recommendation, but we might be a bit biased. We are very blessed to an amazing country, so we'd if you can... all of it 😊 I suppose it depends on your budget and how long you'd like to stay. But most flights come through either Johannesburg or Cape Town, so that would be a good place to start 😊

      Thanks for the support. We use the Front Runner system, including the roof tent, and roof rack. It's very close to the limit, but we have done the suspension and tyres (which you have to do) if you want the gear on the roof. We have also strengthened our roof rack mounts to make sure that roof doesn't crack.
