In terms of a RTT specifically aimed at the Jimny, I don’t think there’s anything that will beat thís LT-50 right now. Well done Alu-Cab! 🙌🏼

[@alu_cab]

Thanks, Johannes! 😄

[@johnbosson3484]

Awesome product . Love your camping spot, I'm putting it on my list.

[@dr5674]

Awesome! Have fun and stay safe!

[@rhodesia1578]

Congratulations on this new roof top tent design… it’s going to be a winner and game changer for those who need something just like this .. very practical ! 👏👏👏👏👌🏻

[@alu_cab]

Thanks so much!

[@andrewgiblin3468]

Love the LT 50 now add the ladder and mounting hardware like every single other RTT provider at no additional cost!!

[@rickypermall7111]

Need to invest in a RTT like this. Low profile. The woolies supper is my wife's favorite dish....just we make it in a cobb. Great video and enjoyed watching the sunset.

[@pounceonyou1958]

Thanks, nice to see it in action.

[@marioesteves3219]

Game changer. Well done Alu Cab!!

[@KOTW.Adventures]

Boots in the tent! Sacrilege! Looks amazing and definitely a RTT worth considering. Probably cost a small fortune in Australia though. Mid-week breaks are the best!

[@alu_cab]

Haha, the boots were clean at least! 😆

[@EdwardBath]

Looks like an awesome tent! Well done legends 🇿🇦

[@alu_cab]

Thanks, Edward! 🙌

[@robinson4513]

Jana, I love ur videos... when can we expect the next, you really are so talented love the content.

[@alu_cab]

Thank you very much! :) Hopefully, I'll have another video out soon.

[@BrahviKhalqiKachari]

very nice vlog stay blessed ❤

[@Taiwan4x4]

Love AluCab products and think this is the best RTT for Jimnys. That said…think the Jimny is just too small for a RTT. I opted for an OzTent RV3 for the Jimny. (Though have a AluCab canopy camper on my Ranger).

[@offroad.q8]

Awesome 😍👍

[@markwalker4485]

Lol. Not often I see a red head RSA. Cool! I’m getting one of your units for use in Canada even in winter just gonna run it way different. Use a -9c sleeping bag and keep it in the bucker (Ford Bronco). The first roof top I used was in Zimbabwe on an old Defender 90 and it worked well. But gotta say unfortunately RSA vehicles have gone down hill. Hope to see you in a few months for Digger driving. I’m taking my Bronco (a bucker) to RSA than Zim. Not sure about DRC but since I’m doing a run nothing is safe)))

[@Goose_JB74]

Firstly Congrats and that the way to spend a Tuesday evening, Great View , great company , good food. Love the new LT50. Question i see your removed the 270 awning is that due to it not fitting with the roof top tent?

[@alu_cab]

Thank you! We are working on a lightweight awning that’s actually mounted to the LT-50 right now for product testing. Stay tuned! 😄

[@jeremyharris4415]

Wow looks great looking Roof top tent you just need to put your awning back on so you can have some shade

[@rodellison]

Hi guys, have the alu cab fitted to our FJ Cruiser with a 2" lift kit here is Aus, look fwd to every time we use it, from beach to bush its excellent. Just a fyi, it adds approx 2litres per hundred klm..

[@alu_cab]

Thanks, Rod! Great to hear you're enjoying it. And good to know about the fuel consumption.

[@tugboat8475]

The car is coming along amazing. Are You guys allowed to go anywhere off the beaten track and set up camp or it's restricted areas and designated camping areas etc?

[@easy.to.cooking]

i liked it awesome 😍

[@4WheelingSA]

Love this design! Will definitely consider it If I need a RTT for the Fortuner.

[@alu_cab]

It looks really good on a Fortuner! We’ll post a video of that on our Instagram soon.

[@4WheelingSA]

@@alu_cab cool, will keep an eye open for it.

[@aquaticwombat4570]

we just got a alu cab roof top tent fitted to our jeep and its got a really loud high pitched whistle now once we go over 40km any tips on how to stop the whistling?

[@markslowen1411]

❤

[@johndiaz7240]

Excellent review, is the canvas the same as the original and are they available here in the States? Thanks great job.

[@alu_cab]

Thanks, John! Yes, the canvas is the same as original. The LT-50 is available in the States. You can contact OK4WD for lead times and availability.

[@ivanburger8585]

Kan Jy my se watter roof rack het jy opgesit of load bars? Hoe werk dit?

[@mr_outlived]

It is awesome fit for Jimny. That being said, paying almost 3k€ for tent is no way near entry level, for which this tent is supposed to be. But maybe once, at least I hope so :)

[@user-dr2js3ho3x]

Salut alucab mais juste son sticker dessus cette tente de toit est fabriqué en chine pour 3fois mois chers !!!

[@sleeks9939]

I wish ALU-CAB would sponsor me 😊

[@LivingALife2022]

I have an old shape Jimny. 2009. How much weight can the Jim y cargo rails take? I'm a big boy and don't want to sleep a dent into my Jimny's roof. 😊

[@alu_cab]

The Gen 3 Jimny roof rails are only rated to 27kg with the standard rails. You could replace the standard rails with solid metal mounts (Front Runner does this for the Gen 3) and then mount load bars to the metal brackets. The tent would then go onto the load bars. The Gen 3 is not as strong as the Gen 4, so it is best not to put anything on top of the tent, to keep the weight down as much as possible.

[@patrickh7368]

Hi, looks good…can I ask how much these cost over there please…? Thanks x

[@alu_cab]

Hi Patrick, you can find pricing from your nearest dealer which can be located via the Dealer Locator on our website - www.alu-cab.com/dealer-locator/

[@attieven3789]

Eerste rooftop wat ek sien waarvan ek regtig hou. Ek self sal aan beide kante agter, in die middel van die kant seil, 'n haak insit sodat ek die rek daar kan haak vir toe maak. Miskien 'n 2 de rek... Miskien is dit 'n overkill

[@budgetoverlander682]

Fantasiese produk. Waar het julle gekamp? Dit lyk baie lekker

[@alu_cab]

Ganzekraal on the West Coast :)

[@stevewallcinematographer]

How tall are you guys? Interested to know how the legroom would be for a 6'2 human!

[@alu_cab]

6'2 might be a biiit snug! Jana is about 165cm and Simon is about 175cm - not the tallest of folks, but Jeremy slept comfortably in the LT-50 last week and he is about 188cm - he just had to sleep more diagonally, if that makes sense.

[@vonrunner]

Would you mind sharing how tall you guys are? Curious if my feet would be touching in the wedge area being 6 feet tall?

[@alu_cab]

Jana is about 165cm and Simon is about 175cm - we're not the tallest of folks, but Jeremy slept comfortably in the LT-50 last week and he is about 188cm - he just had to sleep more diagonally, if that makes sense. We would say for anyone over 190cm the LT-50 might become a bit snug, and the gen 3-R might be a better solution.

[@vonrunner]

@@alu_cab Ahh bummer sounds like it might be a bit too tight :( Appreciate the info though, thank you.

[@newtonh3305]

Hey Jana 👋🏻 hope you well tell me why you not making any Flogs regarding the Jimny and all the products and places you going...? Miss your Contend 😓

[@alu_cab]

Hi there! Jana has unfortunately left the Alu-Cab team. We are continuing with developing Jimny products though. Keep your eyes peeled!

[@TheKunal1974]

Hi Ma’m, I am Dr.Kunal from India. Will be getting the delivery of my five door Jimny in June first week. How can I get Alu cab Jimny accessories in Delhi?? In particular about 2 metre 270 degrees awning..

[@alu_cab]

Hi there, we have a dealer in India called 6th Mile Customs in Bengaluru who would be able to assist you with buying our products.

[@TheDerekCrosson]

Will this work on a gen 3?

[@alu_cab]

Hi there! Are you referring to a specific vehicle model? Our LT-50 and Gen 3 tent are two separate units

[@anumanuva2431]

Lekker!

[@rossbickers8649]

Why don’t you have power at home? What is load sharing?

[@alu_cab]

South Africa is currently in an energy crisis when it comes to electricity. This means our main power suppliers, Eskom, switches off our power in the country for two or more hours almost every day to avoid excessive load on the generating plants.

[@lindajones6233]

WHAT ROOF RACK DID YOU INSTALL?

[@alu_cab]

Hi there! We made use of prototype Gutter Feet designed by us (not available for order yet, unfortunately) and our Load Bars - www.alu-cab.com/product/load-bars/, for mounting the LT-50.

[@qualifierone8899]

Nice car! You still have it and do fun stuff stuff with it?

[@alu_cab]

At the moment our Jimny is spending most of its time in our Fitment Centre so that our R&D team can create some awesome Jimny accessories!

[@sercesco3601]

There is one big problem, I’m pretty sure the legal roof carry weight from Suzuki is 30kg. This effects insurance and warranty

[@alu_cab]

Hi there! We have done suspension upgrades to our Jimny to be able to carry more weight, as well as the roof mounting brackets that effectively support the weight. It is always up to the customer to ensure that their vehicle and mounting system are equipped to support any gear that they want to put on their vehicle.

[@walar1]

What's the weight?

[@alu_cab]

50.55kg with mattress included

[@jeanharris3673]

Ai tog die enigste ding wat ek nou niks geniet het nie, wat ook somne sad is, is laat ek nou eers die kanaal ondek het. Ek het die videos so geniet ek het almal vanaand klaar gekyk en soos ek se wat ek nou niks genietbnie is laat dit klaar is. Kan nie wag vi die volgende video nie veral as jybdie lift ens gaan doen. Die videos het my amper heeltemal oorheed om n Jimny te kry met Alu cab goedjies. Sal net nog wag en sien waar me julle op kom. Veral met die afdakkie wat weg is. Love die videos hoop om nog bitter baie te sien. Kan die tent dalk so bietjie langer gemaak word?

[@satishramamurthy4442]

Hi.. Hope all is well. Have you quit your job,

[@alu_cab]

Hi there! Yes, Jana is no longer working for Alu-Cab.

[@troopyinafrica]

Oooh 😮that husband of yours is slacking off since he got married 😊. Haven’t seen any good Rolbos meals lately 😜. In fairness the two of you are on the short side🤣

[@jcoats5529]

Wow...talk about road noise

[@damienfrizzell9394]

jus sit on it wen u close it

[@user-gh2zh9sw6f]

Ви неправильно снимаете в переди дорогу. Нужно снимать часть авто с салона и дорогу. Я вибачаюсь Україна.

[@envy_se2078]

its a shame its over priced

[@user-dw8fq6pv3b]

Time to make a baby...

[@billlem1]

Could have someone less svelte and attractive to review, very distracting, had too keep rewinding to see the tent features

[@MrDaveB123]

Can the ladder be mounted on the side to enter from the side ?

[@alu_cab]

Yes, it can.

[@MrDaveB123]

Awesome. Thanks
