ROAMS01E30 National Luna DC-DC25A Greenbox Installation (2019)

[@chanukaranaba]

I have watched almost all the videos about the Jimny project. Really nice collection. Good luck with your work !!!

[@Fearl3SS84]

Got almost the same setup in the Jimny, but with a NL60 twin wich is quite a bit bigger than the fridge shown in this setup. Second battery is installed behind the driver side seat. (NL60 is probably the biggest you can go in a Jimny that is just big enough for 2 people for a week before supplies run out :) )

[@nicholasflerianos7100]

Exciting stuff!! Have a safe and epic adventure!

[@RoamOverlanding]

Thanks buddy! Episode 1 launches soon!

[@MrHaggy07]

Thanks for Sharing this battery system gives me ideas for my Rav4 build

[@RoamOverlanding]

Its nice to have a system like this if you have a caravan/trailer, or boat and a 4x4 where you can just move it from one vehicle to another; and you dont have to have a seperate kit installed in each if you dont want.

[@MrHaggy07]

@@RoamOverlanding thats what I was thinking about with having the Rav build , my Fortuner and the camp trailer build and caravan , with this system I will always have power doesnt matter where we go , and can make it that it works in both cars and both camping arrangements

[@leenderdhoutzager9389]

Thanks for the information, good installation let the professionals do it

[@RoamOverlanding]

After the okes who did my lighting stuffed it up so much; I was really grateful to get some real pro’s on the electrics this time

[@rodneygfs]

Please make a video about your TAIL DRAG TABLE. I notice it while you described the fridge. I never found on line any table for the new Jimny.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Will do soon! Still finalizing the design abit 👌🏻

[@seantowlson7051]

Another informative episode, cheers

[@RoamOverlanding]

👌🏻👌🏻 I learned a lot making this video!

[@JacobIsntBlack]

Love the setup! Been curious for a while, what are the glasses you're wearing?

[@RoamOverlanding]

Hey Jacob! I have no idea what brand they are 😂 their modeled off Oliver Peoples, except more robust. My Oliver Peoples frames broke in half, and these ones were half the price 👌🏻

[@rausundfern]

Simply and cool! 😎👍

[@mohamedessa9910]

Nice and good luck

[@instagramoverlander5259]

3:57 is a perfect example how not to crimp. Hope this was sponsored content and you didn't have to pay for this install.

[@KampTV]

Great info. What Battery dit you put in the green box?

[@RoamOverlanding]

National Luna put a 115AH AGM Battery in it. Amazing performance; but I think I want to try find a lighter option for the final setup! AGM is great for a bakkie; but 32KG for a Jimny is a hell of a lot.

[@michaeldande]

how does the battry luna recharge.. is it from dual solunoid or solar can i use it to charge drones camera batteries cell phones while outdoor thanks

[@RoamOverlanding]

It’s a dc-dc charger that uses your alternator to charge your secondary battery at stable charge rate up to 25A/hour, it can also charge via solar with its built in MPPT. On the green box you see here, you have some cigarette lighter outputs for 12v accessories as well as USB outlets. So you can charge whatever can use this. If you want you can get a small 300W inverter that plugs in with a cigarette lighter and charge 220v stuff 👌🏻 and obviously that battery box can hold up to a 115AH battery in it

[@revdocjim2002]

Looks great and I'm always interested in upgrades for cars like the Jimny or the Pajero Mini that I drive. At the same time I'm totally confused by this video. What's the end goal? Continuous eating of fresh food while you drive? Transporting frozen goods? Just not sure how these add-ons will contribute to the functionality of the car. I use mine mostly for hunting and camping etc. so that's my context. Just wondering what yours is.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Its just to keep food stuffs fresh and have a bit of a luxury of having an ice cold beer or juice out there! Im not all about function and running naked in the wild. I enjoy a certain amount of nice to haves (Hence I have an awning and Rooftop tent :P )

[@revdocjim2002]

@@RoamOverlanding fair enough. But won't it be a bit tight loading a deer carcass next to that thing? :)

[@RoamOverlanding]

Just as well I dont hunt then :P

[@McRcFly]

Did you modify the back door to open out more?

[@RoamOverlanding]

Yeah; I have an extended Gas Shock from Bushtech Aluminum canopies.

[@daleswanson6824]

Hey, Just wondering when you are getting that little cupboard you spoke about for where all your plugs etc. will be stored, and where does it come from? We are also looking at a dual battery system for our Jimny and are worried about the space the box will take up, so a better solution would be amazing. Thanks

[@RoamOverlanding]

Hey Dale! You will have to wait a little bit longer; That might be revealed before Christmas; but it will most probably be a 2020 video; you might see some photos and sneak peaks on instagram over the last bit of December

[@Didewro]

Awesome vehicle! Who is doing your gullwings? Are they custom made?

[@RoamOverlanding]

They will be custom made by Bushtech Aluminum Canopies; but will be available as a DIY install kit

[@Didewro]

@@RoamOverlanding They have a website....been trying to get some made for my Hummer H2...I think that will be a game changer for your vehicle. I hear awesome things about the Suzuki...never see them here very rare...i live in Jeep country USA. Im tracking your build...might get one one day.

[@yonski1705]

Don't you think that you would need to upgrade the alternator capacity to charge two batteries?

[@geoffreycoetsee7897]

Whats your opinion of the Green box?

[@RoamOverlanding]

Love it! Now that I am selling the Jimny and getting a bigger vehicle you will definitely see more of it.

[@Didewro]

Love your Jimmy! Are you still going to keep it?

[@RoamOverlanding]

Unfortunately it was sold a couple months ago

[@gtxtx3]

Its crazy how some countries call things by a different name, I was scratching my head wondering what a Brand Harrison plug was o.O turns out it’s what we call Anderson plugs haha

[@RoamOverlanding]

We call it both here 😂

[@k62346]

Can you provide the link / company details you got your car vinyl done? I would like to do the same on mine. thanks in advance!

[@DimitrosSJ]

I think you should consider replacing your existing stock alternator to more powerful one, for example 105amp one. Other-vice your alternator will be chronically overloaded and your batteries will be chronically uncharged. No relay or other electronic fiture will change this, only more powerful alternator.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Something to consider, perhaps get a sealed alternator too

[@DimitrosSJ]

well, according to my offroad competition experience and practice, there's no need to isolate(seal) alternator, even if it occasionally will be submerged under water it will survive. And believe me, Jimney is not an "off-road trophy" vehicle, meaning that it's not intended for sitting in swamps or mud- or waterholes for hours without bad consequences. And from other side - it is too light, so when you place proper offroad tires in, it won't going to dig in swamp or sink in mud, you'll gonna float over it. But that's in case you'll have enough power from engine and enough gear ratio in your TC.

[@RoamOverlanding]

[@l410sj7]

Wow.. cool.. 👍

[@seriouslee4119]

How much does this system cost to buy and install?

[@RoamOverlanding]

Hey Lee, I think its about R12,000 at the moment.

[@rrrandommman]

I will be working on my new gen 3 Jimny overland build soon, but want 2 spare wheels, is it a concern only having one for you?

[@RoamOverlanding]

Im not phased by only having one at the moment; but if I did a trailer setup I would put an additional spare on it for extra long trips.

[@pim1234]

Shouldn't the 2nd battery be in the motor compartment ? It's taking up a lot of space like this ...

It doesn’t have space in the front 😣

[@jarokenny]

how much does it weight? looks quite heavy..like Jimny `cause of it`s so light weight, reminds me first gen. RAV4..I like small cars, but usually have problems with my 1.9m..

[@RoamOverlanding]

The weight will depend on your battery 👌🏻 the system works with everything including lithium so it could weight 32kg like this one or 12kg with a lithium 👍🏻

[@jarokenny]

@@RoamOverlanding nothing tragic..keep on going! I need to wait some time to can afford to buy a Jimny. Nowadays, as a Toyota fan driving LC90, such a great built car. But your Jimny is in the very style I would like to have. Perfect. Greets from Slovakia

[@SKIKR]

Pricing? And offers or discount codes? Perhaps the suppliers need to do that now for the publicity you giving them.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Hey bud! The product is brand brand new; so you will need to get in touch with National Luna, either through their website or on any social media platforms 👌🏻 hopefully someday I’ll get some discount codes for you guys 🤟🏻
