ROAMS01E10 I Load Up My Jimny's Roofrack! DIY (2019)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- With all that extra space given to me by my Eezi Awn K9 Rack. I decided to see what accessories I could install on the roof, so I decided a dual Jerry can holder, a shovel bracket, a tabel bracket and some storage for my recovery tracks, would be a fun DIY installation! All in preparation for leaving for the Jimny's first road trip.

I'm so glad i came across your channel. So cool watching local
Awesome bud! Thanks for popping a comment!
Dude, You are an Inspiration!!!!! I finally got my Jimny last week, Its everything you said, totally awesome!!!, Ordering my roof rack this week!!! Happy Motoring my friend!!!!!
Congrats! I can’t wait for you to get out there an see what your vehicle is capable of. Send me some pics when you get the chance! ✌🏻✌🏻
you sir, are a great video maker/editor, driver and jimny owner
Hahah thanks man!
I'm so disappointed we aren't getting this in the US, this is really the only new vehicle I'd consider purchasing. Everyone here wants honking big full size trucks it seems, because you really need one to commute to work in and go to the grocery store you know.
Haha! Good point!
Yes, exactly! I've never purchased a new vehicle and I'd never felt the desire to, until I saw the new Jimny. "Wow," I said to myself, "I think I'm going to have to make that happen!" Then I found out...nope, not in the U.S. 8^/ Like you, I nonetheless keep torturing myself pointlessly watching every Jimny video I can find, LOL.
I’m glad I can be here to torture you 😂😂 have you seen the new pics up on Instagram? Let’s just say the Jimny takes a dip.
Hahah...get in line..we have to wait.UK
A bar in you Jimny - cool idea!!
Been watching your channel for a while now and I'm not going to blame you, but I got my brand new Jimny yesterday. Already have the roofrack fitted. Here's me watching your Jimny adventures from the start planning on what accessory to fit next. I'm glad you are enjoying the Hilux and I get why you switched to it. Looking forward to more great content from a country that I also love.
That is awesome! My advice; keep it simple! Approach it like an adventure biker or hiker, and you will be certain to have the most fun and love your Jimny! Enjoy bud!
Sweet vid! Coming along nicely 😎
It's finally Jimny day here in Australia! ( It got released today 26 Jan..) waiting lists are expected to shortly get to a year!
Yay, good for you! Seems we beat you guys at everything these days - cricket, Jimny day....!!;)
Sho! Philip is bringing the fire today! Congrats on your Jimny day mate, and hopefully yours arrives soon!
@@RoamOverlanding Ha! cheers guys
Also need that solid rack on my Jimny with table underneat! Than a rooftent on top and a kitchen inside the car, to travel the world! In sted of those yellow things and shovel, I am going to put a winch up front, that doesn't take space and makes my baby look even cooler! 👌🏻🤗👍🏻
That unboxing... Gold.
Hahaha! I have lots to learn :P I might be able to film, but unboxing is certainly not a strength.
I click the like button before watching the video. Amazing.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Nice little behind the scenes there. The Chanel looks like it’s growing nicely, well done you.
Thanks so much Daniel! Its awesome having loyal watchers like you around. :)
Cool 4x4 my friend!
Loving this channel. Keep it up!
Thanks! :) WIll do!
The music has a Genesis sound ...
full of good idea in this video !! 🇫🇷👍🏻
Glad it can be of help!
Great video as always... but you need to make a new channel so we can follow a build of that mk1 golf! Bbs and airbags would be a great start ;)
Hahah! Thats my neighbours car :P My mate who lives nearby has a black golf that he lowered and modded a bit! Jimny's VS Golfs, drag race.
Fun fact .You did average 22.68 milles to the gallon total of 3,355 milles
Tank capacity 40 liters or 10.567 gallons(small tank actually)
Thanks for the Conversion! I slacked in this video with those!
Cool Venter trailer 🧐😉
Hahah! Ill pass that on to my Dad! sarcasm included!
Great videos! Supports to you and your jimny.
Thanks Troy!
blue golf is very beautiful :)
Nice video. I'm waiting for more.
Awesome! Tune in Every weekend for a new video! :)
Jimny and a mk1 golf? Cuteness overload! Please tell me thats yours 😁
Hahah! No its not mine :P Its our neighbours. :)
@@RoamOverlanding allright, i have a mk1 cabriolet, but ive always wanted the South African citigolf 😊 too bad the dont make them left hand drive 😊
DavurBeder it’s so weird to see people excited about the CitiGolf 😂
@@RoamOverlanding haha maybe for you guys who see them everyday 😅 i would swap my cabby for one 😊
The zook is looking very good. please let us know if you intend to fit a snorkel as i would be interested to see how you would do this on this model. In Australia we have extreme outback distances in remote areas to cover so a larger fuel tank would be a great idea. Do you think this would be practical or even possible? Thanks again for a proffessional vid.
Im definitely going to put a snorkel on when its available. I really hope someone comes up with a way to increase the tank size... Its the only real downside of the Jimny at the moment unfortunately. Otherwise, travel with a friend who can carry an extra 40L for you :P
Techno-Flashback? Niiiiice (:
Thanks for the vids! Great footage on your trips. Hoping you could answer a question - How much weight can you load on the roof of the Jimny?
I wouldn’t recommend going over 80Kg the vehicle becomes very unstable
I know this is an old video, but on a Jimny you would have to mount the Jerry can hold in the middle, the car is very light so heavy offroading is going to be uncomfortable with full Jerry cans on one side ofe the vehicle
Thank you for nice videos. Could you share little more details about roof rack and set? Perhaps price? your K9 roof rack (1400x1600) and gas tanks with holder and slide in table under the roof rack etc. Thanks again for all your nice and informative videos. I ordered mine but will not get it until this June.
素晴らしい。
May I ask something? Why do you chose the Jimny than other 4x4 SUV's knowing that they have more powerful engines than the Jimny? I want this Jimny but I'm a little bit confuse if I would rather choose the bigger one
Hey Jonathan, honestly I just wanted something different, some challenging. I wanted to learn to live with less space and less power, and I don’t regret it. I have driven powerful vehicle and more luxurious vehicles, but I love this vehicle like something special
Roam Overlanding woah thank you for that information it helped me a lot. I am from Philippines and I want to buy this
Great video! Good looking Jimny for sure...
Do you plan on getting a bull bar (maybe with LEDs) or belly protection?
Edit: Maybe Rocksliders with steps to get up to the roof rack easier would be an idea as well?
If you look on my instagram page, on under Vehicle build highlights, you will see what we have planned over the next couple of weaks!
Roam Overlanding damn that looks awesome! Stoked to see how it will come out!
Kaiser Karl Heinrich III me too! I think it’s going to be wild.
I’m curious to know why the jerrycans were mounted on the rooftop as opposed to the back door which would have lowered the center of gravity and improved the stability of the car.
Thanks for the flash back. So tell me after all those fill ups what was your average fuel consumption. I’m waiting for my one to arrive in April, same colour choice
Hey Koos! No worries bud, I averaged around 10.4km/l with some low range driving and 4 Hi driving too.
Roam Overlanding awesome thanks seems reasonable
Nice build. Any idea what all the accessories weigh? I know the Jimny is light, will be interesting to see how the roof rack affects the handling, fuel consumption and wind noise.
When I have the weight of the fuel up, I can definitely feel the weight but I think its more because of the vertical height of the fuel. However with just the roofrack, I dont notice it all. Obviously just a bit of wind noise at high speeds and then a very slight increase in fuel economy. I think the roofrack is 20KG's
Thanks for the reply. That’s good to hear. So refreshing to see South African content of this quality.
I saw you “roaming” on the roads of Fourways a few days ago sans the jerrycans.
I’m an adventurer myself. We have a Land Cruiser and are always keen to meet-up with likeminded explorers. I have hit you up on LinkedIn if you keen to do a video with both vehicles or an outing or something.
@@tsponge101 Oh damn! Small world! I roam the 'ways every day! :D I dont even think you will recognise the vehicle after next week! It would be awesome to do a little meet up some time! I think the best spot to get in touch with me would be on Instagram at @Roam_Overlanding o/
Awesome Video
Just like this little Jimny and what you doing with it
Thanks Mate! Im off today to a Suzuki 4x4 event, so I'm keen to film that and have some fun footage for next weeks video :)
Awesome can't wait to see
You need to also show us the engine bay. I'm curious to see what it looks like. Does it have a turbocharger?
No turbo! The engine bay is tiny and can barely fit anything additional
How many KM overland can you go? With all the fuel and fridge. Can you get the rig packed so you can travel 1000km?
Nope 700km max at the moment
Hey you do a good job with this jimny but I wonder y not put the gas jericans on the side of the jimny somewhere, easier to bring down when needed .
Love your videos and especially camping on jimny...
Love from Pakistan bro !
Sadly the price of jimny in pakistan is very high with no features (lowest varient)...
We are unable to buy a budget offroader here 😠
Btw your jimny tours are great bro !
Keep up !
Nice little Jimny. The rack seems too wide for the roof though.
Vincent Windels it’s actually better for the feet to sit on the roof with it being wider like that.
Please do a video under the car. I'm curious if the front drive shaft spins in 2H mode. Thank you very much !
Great video!! Can you please tell me the length, width and the gutter mounts leg's height? 220?x125?x15? just guessing.... My jimny will be delivered at the end of this month here in Tasmania.
Im not sure on the height of the legs, but its a 165x140 Rack but ill be upgrading it to a 180x140 rack next week. So the roof is quite substantial! Congrats on your new Jimny! :D its going to be awesome to take around Tasmania!
Roam Overlanding Yeah, I'll explore the wonders in Tassie with my jimny, thank you very much for your reply
@@RoamOverlanding Fantastic video 👍 I'm looking at a similar roof tray. Like you, I thought around 1650 in length is good. I'm interested on the reasoning for changing to a 1800 long? Keep up the great work!!
I need all that for mine!!! Eezy have shipping to mia?
MIA? :)
@@RoamOverlanding hahaha sorry, to miami*
Amilcar Joel yup they should do! You can get in touch with www.Equipt1.com
Thanks ❤ goood video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice
Amazing Chanel, but what are the two yellow things?
What colour is your Jimny? I have a feeling we don't get that colour here.
Yeah I don’t think it’s spec for the UK
Do you like the stick shift on the Jimny? I am contemplating automatic as I always get in trouble while changing gears
I enjoy the stick shift! Apparently the auto searches a lot for gears, and isn’t as smooth as more modern auto boxes
Great videos. What Jerry cans do you use? Where did you buy them?
I got the black Jerry’s from Frontrunner.
@@RoamOverlanding Thanks
are you going to put any arb winch bars on it ?? compressors? winches?
I won’t be doing ARB but I’ll be doing a local company called Wildog. I’ll probably airlock the rear diff, so will get a compressor and will do a winch too
Hi, during this long trip did you exceeded jimny's GVM? I'm waiting for my Jimny to be delivered in 3 months
no we didnt exceed the GVM, but I think we might after our next bunch of upgrades
Anybody know what you can do to increase the weight you can load onto the roof? Suzuki says it has a limit of 30kg.
Don't they manufacture long range petrol tanks for the new Jimny, we looked into getting one for my late wives Jimny ,the previous model, there was a 65l tank available,
I havent seen anything just yet; but I really hope they could come up with a 65L or even a 55L would really help.
Whats your favorit Colour Jimny??
Is there enough gap between roof an bottom of rack when loaded,, great vid too
There was enough clearance, however I had moved to a slightly longer feet now to give a bit more height, just incase something happens :P
how long is that roofrack in length?
are you able to put the roof top tent on top of a roof rack?
For sure! EeziAwn make some of the best rooftop tents in the world 👌🏻 check them out on www.eeziawn.com
15 tanks of fuel would cost me in my country....close to 725 euro....thats a lot for a trip but hey you factor that into your trip cost dont you.
Where did you get that Jerry can holder
From Eezi Awn :)
Hi there. Could you please add links to all the roof rac accessories in this video - thanks 👍
Hey Stephen, I’ll be workin gob updating the descriptions to include every accessory on the vehicle soon 👌🏻
@@RoamOverlanding Thanks. I live in Scotland - waiting for delivery 😊 . Can I ask, is there any way of putting load bars on the Eezi Awn rack, to take things like bike and kayak carriers? Do you know of I can get Eezi Awn in the UK? Thx for your help 👍
You can definitely get an Eezi Awn Rack in the UK chat to APBtrading you can get load bars, the rack just uses M8 bolts on the rail
@@RoamOverlanding Sorry - just to confirm...I can fit load bars when the K9 is already fitted?
Stephen Andrews you can put the load bars onto the roofrack. You can put anything on the roofrack with M8 bolts.
Any reason you did not consider a roof tent?
I will be installing a roof top tent in the next couple weeks 👍🏻
great video, where could i order that roofracK?
Where are you based?
@@RoamOverlanding am risiding here in the philippines.
海外は広くて羨ましい
What are the dimensions of the table? Thank you
1130 x 750
What model or name of tablet
@@MortenRoskildeRasmus K9 model L
What was your previous car?
I had a single cab amarok
Красавчегг
How much load can you carry on roof rack?
The rack itself can carry up to 750KG but the Jimny I would recommend around 60kg
Roam Overlanding You installed roof top tent and I’m sure you slept in it as well. Still confused with 60kgs? Tent and people sleeping in tent are way more than 60kgs.
60kg dynamic weight; when driving. But static is totally fine to go much higher
I really like your video, congratulations and success on the channel. if you like my channel, please stop by
Thanks Hen! :)
Buy something bigger instead of messing about
Dude, this channell is about the Jimny. If you wanna watch bigger vehicles get stuck then there are many other channels. thanks pal?
