Building a DIY Roof Rack for my Jimny

This was obviously much easier than attaching a trailer.
This was the first mod, of probably many, to my Suzuki Jimny.
the whole point was to make somthing simple, good looking, and cheap.
So it went pretty well.
Check out some of all the cool projects over at the "Seaside Garage"

Thanks a lot for watching!

Nice job, I agree with your using the rubber to protect the paint work. I really enjoy listening to your narration because your English vocabulary and pronunciation are so good. You put many native English speakers to shame (probably me included!).

[@KJOff-Road]

Hah, Thanks a lot sir, That's very nice of you!

[@SluSharkND]

Nice Zuki I wish we could get that in the US! Great project, functional and cool! Love this channel

[@showmemo3686]

In your great state, it'd probably get blown right off the road, windy as it gets at times.

[@SluSharkND]

@@showmemo3686 There is truth to what you say 😄

[@KJOff-Road]

Thanks a lot!

[@jamieaustin6403]

Awesome work. love the glimps of the military G as well :-)

[@KJOff-Road]

Thanks a lot!

[@stephengolya4842]

I like the look and finish....great video....

[@KJOff-Road]

Thanks a lot!

[@BorisEkner]

Well done.

[@KJOff-Road]

Thanks a lot!

[@clydebalcom3679]

We don't have those little beauties here in the US. Wish we did. All I hear is positive things, with the exception of limited cargo capacity. The roof rack looks great. You have something that looks factory.

[@KJOff-Road]

Thanks a lot! And yeah, i'm sure they would sell a ton of these, if they brought them to the US.

[@LogitechXibanga]

Finally a video form my favorite truck youtuber ^^

[@KJOff-Road]

Thanks a lot. And yeah, it's been a bit of a slow winter.

[@BorisEkner]

Agreed. I designed my own roof rack & ladder. Both turned out much better/stronger than my favorite from ZA. Ie, not as good looking, but way stronger. And they have plenty of space for auxiliary lights front/side/rear lights

[@smathet7766]

Always protect the paint!

[@UAZ469]

Nice project, well done! Like your stuff. Greetings from the north of Germany!

[@KJOff-Road]

Thanks a lot!

[@SeasideGarage]

:O This was really cool! I envy your precision and patience with the basic set of tools you have... that result is really awesome! And thanks for the Niva.... I cant wait to get started on that :D

[@KJOff-Road]

Thanks a lot! And we are looking forward to seeing the Niva come together!

[@clooperman3745]

@@KJOff-Road Superb result with the roof rack, can't wait for more on the Unimogs, does the green cab 421 have the same transmission as the red cab 421?

[@KJOff-Road]

@clooper man Thanks a lot! And no, the red and green mog's have the two differen types of transmissions that were available for them.

[@louisbabyCT]

Such a great job man. Well done

[@KJOff-Road]

Thanks a lot!

[@seansysig]

Sweat build. it came out amazing.

[@KJOff-Road]

Thanks a lot! And thanks for watching!

[@DirtRacerDK]

Virkeligt flot arbejde! Absolutely beautiful work 😊

[@KJOff-Road]

Mange tak! :) Thanks a lot! :)

[@ecobarricade]

Nice, how much does it weight?

[@erik_dk842]

Den vejer vel lige så meget i sig selv, som du overhovedet må have som taglast? Men den ser godt ud.

[@KJOff-Road]

Takker. Den vejer det samme som fx. den Aluminiums Roof-rack fra Front Runner. som mange køre med. så den er som sådan ikke specielt tung. Men jo, det bliver alligevel tæt på. efter som jimny'en ikke har en særlig høj "Tag-Rating". på kun 30- eller 40kg. (alt afhængig af hvor man spørg. der er ikke rigtig noget helt konkret, officielt tal.) Tak for kikket!

[@showmemo3686]

Nice project. I was surprised at the weight of the finished product. Must have used lead based paint, eh?! 😎

[@LogitechXibanga]

you are canadian eh?

[@KJOff-Road]

Thanks a lot. And i was actually positively suprised with the weight. is weighs exactly the same as the Aluminium "Front-Runner" rack, that a lot of people are running on these. And it's lighter than somthing like an ARB rack. Thanks for watching!

[@justjoeable]

I wish the Jimny was able to be sold here in the USA without having 25 years on them. CAFE standards need to die off. impossible to have a small gas sipping vehicle and have it still be a 4wd truck.

[@mariannenielsen8050]

Ser godt ud , kan et tagtelt sætte ovenpå

[@KJOff-Road]

Mange tak! Hmm. Det var egentlig ikke lavet med tagtelt i tankerne. men det burde nok kunne lade sig gøre. Men skulle det bruges til det, ville det nok være bedre der ikke var sider på. og det bare kun var den flade bund.

[@mariannenielsen8050]

Ja det har du nok ret i .

[@iamrichrocker]

Suzuki has been absent from Us since roughly 2012..poor quality..dealerships lacking, and poor safety records and sense that the vehicles were 'cheap'..shame that they could not improve upon these short comings ..anyway..good to see you again, and always enjoy your videos..hope to see spring time that will allow more content..

[@LogitechXibanga]

sounds exactly like american cars XD

[@KJOff-Road]

Suzuki has actually come a long way in the last 10-15 years. and, at least in the european market, they are generally considered as "good value for the money" as they are economical, comftable, reasonably reliable, and fairly priced. Although, a lot of their models have just been incredibly booring. Thanks for watching!
