What is an INDEFLATE?
Переглядів 387Рік тому
The INDEFLATE is one of our favourite pieces of gear that we pack when we head out. Why? Well because it halves the time required to inflate or deflate tyres, and when you have large all terrain or mud tyres that can take a long time.
We Built Our Own Rooftop Tent

With the help of my brother John, we've been working tirelessly behind the scenes designing, prototyping and testing what we believe to be "not your average rooftop tent" For more information please visit our website: www.blackoverland.co.za or contact us dir...

This should be more popular. Afterall, Koi San history is human history. All "races" are born from the KoiSan.
Great Video! What wire size are you using? Going to order my parts now so I have and ready to install when the garage isn't 120 degrees. Any cocnerns if you are plugged into the all sources at once drawing too much power?
Thank this is awesome. Do you worry about using a brass fitting on a different metal housing? I kind of remember different metals interact without one another and can cause corrosion. Not sure what metal react with what though. Maybe the reaction is very slow and minuscule. Just asking cause I am definitely going to do thins.
Rubbish
mis this place, had many great fishing trips
I find it interesting what they reversed for the right-hand drive vs left-hand drive. Switch panel and shifters reversed, but climate controls unchanged. Thanks for the video!
Very to the point and succinct. Thanks.
Fantastic scenery and commentary👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
What size is this pump you used? Flow per minute? Would you use a stronger pump if you can choose again or stay with the same size?
Hi Stefan. Think it was an 8l/minute. Would use a smaller pump next time to save water
I did this to my 2005 4-Runner, the breather was crusted shut. I got it just in time I guess because there was a fair amount of pressure release when I disconnected the old one. These breather’s are one-way valves though, meant for pressure release. Nothing should be getting into it anyway. It doesn’t suck anything. So I understand. But it will corrode shut over time.
Very helpful vid in understanding how to get to the dash switch wiring. Use a Scanstrut cable gland for roof penetrations. I'm replacing the OEM rack with a Sherpa Fuji and there is a perfect space next to the forward tower and behind the fairing for the gland. Will be practically invisible from view and waterproof.
Great thanks for the feedback, I’ve since sold the FJ and now have an 80 series but good advice for any other FJ owners. Thanks 🙏🏼
Epic i will put this on to my 2,2 Ranger their lights are bollie
One day when I'm get myself a 'offroad truck' I will be sure to get myself one
I like the design!
Why would you do this without locals guiding you it's insane
We prefer to self drive, we get to choose our own route and itinerary. Going with crowds isn’t our thing
@@BlackOverland yes but not in lions living spaces
@@Bambotb Haha you have no clue about Africa. You can easily selfdrive in the wild where lions and leopards live. Just follow some basic rules and your fine. @BlackOverland did everything right. Kept the respect for the lion and he will do nothing to you. Especially on a rooftoptent. Lovely footage btw! The roar must have felt amazing indeed! And the light is fine. Redlight is normally better for the lion but white light is fine.
Lekker man! Glad I found your channel. Can't wait to visit Bots for some birding.
you need to bring this to the U.S. At the price point you have you will destroy the competition
Lovit boet. It looks flippen amazing. Great video as well.
Wow well done sterkte epic
Cost please
Hi Hans. Launch pricing starting from R39 999. Thanks. Liam
Mooi
Hey Legend. Was great meeting you at Kyknet. I’m busy binge watching your channel. The throttle controller ? Did you ever do a follow up video? I’m looking to install one in my FJ and I’m in two minds…
Hey Jonathan. I used it quite a few times during my other videos but not a separate video itself. It’s a fantastic product though. Definitely worth it!
I’ve seen / heard that they don’t recommend taking a 4x4 trailer up there? Is this true? Or do they mean normal caravans? I have a bushwakka… I don’t see my FJ battling to pull it up there…. Your thoughts 💭? Thanks legend.
Hi Jonathan. You’ll be fine with the FJ and bushwakka. We camped there again in January and took up a Jurgens explorer and a conqueror comfort with no issues. Standard vans would struggle though.
the light doesn't bother the lion, they have rod cells in their eyes and not cone cells like us. That's why he is not squinting when you shine the light on him.
Stay in the tent, just keep still. And def keep the light on him so you know where he is. The light will not be irritating or even a problem. Nice experience. Wow. Bone chilling stuff!
Hard to hear the video at times. Although the wet t shirt part made up for it
Unfortunately the critical part where you expose the display panel screws isn’t shown… I can only see your peaked cap.
More product review videos please!
It’s called a lube! And it’s for looking at negatives or 35mm slides.
Stuff evidence
How do you fit a new sensor. My compressor does not turn off. Bought a new one. But too thick to fit in the new hole above the condenser
I’m not sure you I bet Snomaster service centre would be able to help you
Wow, I'm from Ohio & Always Loved Nature , Your beautiful footage takes us to a Special place . Like Heaven <3 When I seen How beautiful the Tree 🎄 not sure how to spell it boabo - So Beautiful. Loved The Giraffes, 🦓 Zebras . Everything. I've been to Alaska but never to Southern Africa . Thanks for sharing your travels with Us . Amy & Buddy.
So Beautiful, Love your adventures. Beautiful wildlife .great photography.
Definitely worth a second viewing guys. Happy memories. Xxx
The best sound ever is hearing lions in the wild! Was fortunate to experience that in Botswana on a mobile camping safari! I'm hooked!!
He could easily attack you
I’ve watched this video 3 times. And every time I have missed the product review, I don’t even know what you were talking about because I’m to busy looking at the porn in the back ground…… nice FJ 😂✌🏻
Good stuff
I pick this episode up just know Maluti Mountains really nice
Lovely video and wonderful photography. Thank you!!
So enjoyed your videos! Nice vibe and informative,
Price for catmyster?
I can’t believe the kind of meals you are able to whip up on an open fire 🔥 my husband and I never managed to come up with anything decent while camping in South Africa and Namibia 🙈 I know it’s not the main story line of your trip report but I’m just so amazed!
My fav shot 2:26 - not to take away from the rest
Hi guys, love your channel ……. Recently started mine please check it out and sub! 🙏
