The good thing about the Jimny is that if it breaks down you can just put it on your back on continue on foot LOL

[@yengsabio5315]

The mere fact that this vehicle looks so tact & basic, I so love it! Nothing superfluous, nothing that is too much! Just the good stuffs that one actually needs for any driver with an old soul for proper driving & to survive the course. Cheers & mabuhay from tropical Philippines!

[@mekerekatjiuongua]

I love that intro. It never gets old. I've watched this video over and over again. Adrian is the best.

[@eastsideextremer3861]

What i love the most is the way you store your safety vest & first aids kit. 😀

[@FriWi1853]

You are my Jimny-Star 😎. Best wishes for the NEW YEAR.

[@GeordieJimny]

Superb. Love how neatly designed it all is. Some excellent inspiration for my set up. Thanks Adrian 🙌🏼

[@mikekay213]

Very efficient packing, only what you need and very neat and accessible.

[@mysteryman1940]

This was well presented and clearly spoken.The Jimny is an awesome vehicle.

[@FourLowAdventures]

I carry 2 duffel bags for clothes (him / her), a pop up dome tent, a 3m x 3m marquee, a double sized 3D mattress, trangia stove, a bag full of freeze dried hiking meals (these are great), KA-Bar knife, pruning saw, "bog-out" recovery system, foot pump, 20l water jerry and a 12v cigarette socket w/ alligator clips so I can charge directly off the battery because the internal sockets don't have enough power to charge properly. As nice as it is to have a fridge, I find that trying to maintain the contents and cook recipes to be a real pain, whereas with the hiking meals we can just pick what we want to eat and add hot water. Supplement this with local fruit or bakery food etc wherever we go and we're good. Just got back from a 7 day trip like this and it worked great for us.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Yeah the hiking meals are a good solution for some; for us they cost a huge amount of money and it would be cheaper just to buy the groceries. But it is certainly something to consider...

[@FourLowAdventures]

@@RoamOverlanding I wait for them to go on sale then buy a few hundred dollars worth, don't mind storing them as emergency rations in case something happens. End cost is about $8 AUD a plate which is about the same price as a big mac.

[@Zapo9668]

I really like the storage space under the fridge slider..

[@SaltyDog69]

Thank you for taking the time to unload and show what you carry the day before your trip. I usually overpack for our trips.

[@RoamOverlanding]

I ended up throwing in a bunch of stuff I didn’t need as usual too 😂 and then forgetting the important things

[@charlieridgway6576]

Hi great video I will take out my rear seats as you have. It makes so much storage space. It's amazing what you can fit into the new jimny.😎

[@thommyfawwaz6355]

Your set up is really Inspiring me. Thanks a lot for sharing! Love from Indonesia ❤️👍

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

Love the simplicity. For the last 20+ years I’ve been traveling with a lot of stuff that I’ve never used or used very seldom, for example an axe m, hi-lift jack and two long recovery straps. Never used them. Ive dumped it all including the trailer. On my latest vehicle I’ve gone back to basics and don’t carry a lot of stuff any more. So much better.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Brave move! I think we will see some trimming of my kit at some point too; who knows. It just depends on what I end up finding necessary or not. I think there will also end up being a setup for me when I travel solo and one for when I travel with Natalie.

[@PedroSantos-sd9qz]

I love the way all your gear is thought out and matching. Great work. You’ve sold me on the national Luna gear. 🇦🇺👍🏻

[@RoamOverlanding]

Their kit is very well built and super efficient. Always worth seeing what they come up with, and swapped that AGM battery for a lightweight lithium would really make that battery box a secret weapon.

Thanks for another awesome vid!!

[@kudraadk]

I used to own a Samurai before and it was the hardtop like your Jimny. The similarities are surprising. It's amazing how much stuff will fit such a small square box because that's exactly what these great little trucks are. A square box. I also like that you have some Blue Ridge Overland gear. They do make some fantastic products and to see it going to South Africa is awesome. Keep up the great work!

[@RoamOverlanding]

🤟🏻 I would love a little LWB samurai to play with!

[@davidmcrae1124]

A great run through. I don't think you would need for much else considering the size of the Jimny. Travelling in convoy you could share the load, i.e. you have the compressor and someone else could carry more food.

[@OverlandTrax]

Good video, keep them coming ✌

[@rohanndutoit4544]

Hi my boet. I didn't see where you packed your tent's poles provided in that rectangular canvas bag. I myself place it in the tent itself and fold everything up, leaving everything I need in one space. Love the setup and video. Have a wonderful new year.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Sorry bud; I put it in the gap between the two drawers; it fit perfectly, was accessible and didn’t get the way

[@Blkxr6]

Love your channel mate. You've inspired me to get a Jimny and explore my country Australia.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Nigel mate, thank you for the positive vibes! You're going to have a blast!

I don't think you need anything else, although I would add 5 liters of Mobil 1 0W40 engine oil, a KN air filter, a KN oil filter, spare distribution belts, a spare water pump. Maybe one more spare wheel, spare lights and I think that's it. Thanks for the video and "Buen Camino".

Complimenti, davvero utile poter leggere ed ascoltare i tuoi consigli, utile per chi come me inizia ad organizzare e pensare al proprio fuoristradista come mezzo ricreativo non solo per l'uso estremo in fuoristradista ma anche per vacanza o escursioni fuori porta👍👍👍

[@eburn71]

thanks for sharing - great set up. Just in case you have not already gotten this feedback, suggest to tie-down (in particaluar the heavy items), to prevent items flying in case of an accident/roll. Keep up the good work.

[@jacquesD4D]

😂😂😂 we all saw most of what was in there when you got stuck on the pan in Bots.

[@RoamOverlanding]

You think you’re funny 😂

[@West4ea]

You’ve done well with such a small truck I have a series Landrover SWB which makes a jimmy look huge. love the first aid kit on the headrest. Personally I like my recovery gear in 2 places on under drivers seat or in a bag on the spare wheel. Fast to get too when needed but out the way also recovery gear gets dirty I like to store it outside the vehicle if possible it looks lovely in a draw when new and clean but I don’t Fancy putting it back once it’s wet and muddy also what if you can’t open a door to open a draw. Also have you considered a cargo barrier? Enables you to stack high and you can attach stuff to it on both sides and have you considered a fridge cage to stop things falling behind it when you pull it out and lastly try a net to hold soft stuff to the roof

[@RoamOverlanding]

A cargo net is going in soon; 2 gullwings with boxes too to give more vertical storage and then yeah definitely looking at an alternative place for the recovery gear; a bag on the wheel isn’t a bad idea 👌🏻 let’s see how things go. Thanks for tuning in!

[@Gimpthulhu]

I highly recommend a Luci Light. They're inflatable lights that have a solar cell to charge their battery. A deflated one practically takes up no space on your dashboard and will always be ready should you need an additional light.

[@ggtedesco]

Gran equipo. 👍

[@mlshangluah]

You should get a high lift jack. Awesome video i love your jimmy... Got my self a Samurai but Jimmy looks so cool the interior and all that.. 😍

[@RoamOverlanding]

I would love a highlift but I have nowhere to put it 😂

[@mlshangluah]

@@RoamOverlanding you and me are not so different we are big 😅 you know what i mean!!😉

[@RoamOverlanding]

mlshangluah big boys just wanna have fun 😂

[@West4ea]

Hi lifts arnt great. They are an awful jack a bottle jack under the axle is much safer quicker and easier to store and lighter. Plus you dont need big steel bumpers and rock sliders to use it on. You can use them as a winch but they are slow hard work and tricky to set up. I brought one years ago and then sold it years later haven’t used it a couple of times and realising how rubbish they are

[@kittquezada9235]

I love it!

[@oruko777]

Cause your videos I think about the possibility to buy a Jimny if I have to sell my Land Rover 110. Great video

[@RoamOverlanding]

I would love a 110 one day still; it depends what you use the vehicle for. Both would be idea 😂

[@rhysalez7823]

Ive seen someone mount the air compressor in the engine bay, on the right side about where your master cylinder would be on a left hand drive car. Seems like a good spot for it

[@RoamOverlanding]

This year I’ll be looking at an onboard air system as I start preparing the vehicle for air lockers so you’ll see something similar soon

Very inspired, salam from malaysia

How many cameras are usually equipped? Do you use more than one goPro to simultaneous capture scenes in case of missing an angle?

[@RoamOverlanding]

I have 1 camera; but I shoot in 4k so I can crop in sometimes to make it feel like more camera's some videos I have a gopro to capture some action outside or scenery.

[@jacquesmyburgh321]

Hi Adriaan, my Jimny's seatbelts at the back always seem to be in the way when I pack and the flimsy straps to keep them tight and out of the way doesn't really help. I see you still have the seatbelts at the back. How do you keep them out of the way?

[@RoamOverlanding]

It’s weird I just don’t have that issue, they never really get in the way for me.

[@alisterthorpe9555]

Lots of good info. I was wondering with the weight how does the car handle? Do you feel you're top heavy?

[@RoamOverlanding]

It’s actually handling very nicely; I think a more expensive suspension kit with more castor correction and adjustable pan hard bars would help abit with the sway at speed; but otherwise it’s handling really well.

[@Goose_JB74]

Hi Adrian, Just wanted to know if the National Luna 50L is the biggest fridge freezer you could fit on the slide

Love this video. We have an 87 Suzuki Samurai currently slowly being built for adventure.. Don't see many videos where peole have built these little rigs.. The Jimny is so close in space size. Seeing this video has been a big help. Thanks for taking the time to show this to us. Safe travels my friend

We have done the 1.6 16valve conversion. We are going to go with the 6.5.1 transfer case. Jeep yj conversation in the suspension. We are currently spoa sitting on 33s. Building custom rack for rtt. Have a king way to go... But i will get there. Have a special trip planned for 25th anniversary.. Alaska for 60 days... No hotels.. Just exploring

[@billyh9287]

Can't agree on different packing for different length trips! My vehicle is set up exactly the same for 1 night or 1 month with only the amount of food/drinks that change. But then I do have a decent sized vehicle

[@RoamOverlanding]

If i had a bigger vehicle it would probably just be 1 setup too.. Unfortunately he Jimny is just so small it cant do everything well all the time.

[@katinator915]

Just wondering what drawer system you use as looking to get a jimny but working out whether it will be what i am after.

[@RoamOverlanding]

The Drawer system is done by Bushtech Aluminum Canopies; its a very modular system and allows you to keep the seats in if you want.

[@robertborg1905]

How often have you used the doorstep? I have seen a lot of mixed reviews of it bending and damaging the thing you clip it to. Great video but your setup is very similar to how i plan to do mine.

[@RoamOverlanding]

I have used the doorste a couple times but use it as a last resort because I have seen the metal flex abit. But I wouldn’t use it everyday. But in a jiffy it works a treat, or if my gf who weighs much less than me needs to get something on the roof it will help her out.

[@robertborg1905]

@@RoamOverlanding I was thinking about getting one because I am vertically challenged and as I said am thinking of a similar setup to you but not sure how ill be able to reach the things in front of the tent on the rack.

[@RoamOverlanding]

That’s where the side steps really help too. A tip for you though. Is to climb onto the front or Rear wheel, it gives you a good boost up and honestly access to almost everything. The Eezi Awn Ladder on the rear also helps for some additional access. The standard plastic bumpers I wouldn’t want to stand on, but my metal rear bumpers I stand on all the time 👌🏻

Can you recommend that battery box system to a weekend camper, I go camping 3-4 times a year...But I do go to the farm once a month near the central Kalahari in Botswana..I really like simplicity

[@RoamOverlanding]

I definitely do; it’s so versatile and really efficient. You can put in up to 160AH battery too if I recall correctly. It’s a good load shedding saver too. Plugging in the solar panel is simple; and it’s managed through the DCDC system so it keeps the battery safe. I would recommend getting the National Luna 5A wall charger to keep your battery pluggged into while you aren’t using it to keep the battery in good order, so your battery will last for years! 👍🏻 head to bit.ly/NLDC25 to read up abit more on it but the site has loads of information for you too
