ROAMS01E46 Suzuki Jimny Gullwing & Drawersystem by Bushtech Canopies

[@abhinavdemta6972]

I rarely leave a comment. But sir you really made me connected to this effort to praise your work, your love towards wonderful explorations and really livin a true life. Someday I will try to have one Jimny and live my life of Roam Overlanding.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Thanks such a nice comment! Thanks for watching and leaving some feedback!

[@hpharold23]

This channel is not just the adventure experience but the Jimny that carries you with it. I think if you ever change a vehicle it may not have the same effect or it will be a completely new experience altogether.

[@RoamOverlanding]

I think it has definitely been a key part of this channel up until now, but I also cant be the Jimny guy forever. The vehicle still needs to make sense for my life at the end of the day. But I understand where you're coming from. I did a livestream where I chatted about the next build in depth and what I want to achieve from the channel going forward kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5fNq6V9atx6bpo if you feel like gaining a bit more perspective on where my head is at!

[@squatchsaygo]

Wow! What a set-up for your vehicle, really nice.

[@rubenvandermerwe3551]

I think I was crying a little in this video because of the Jimmy that buld a solid foundation for the chanell and with out the Jimmy the channel won't be as big as it is now also this is where like my hoody say roam overlanding begun the channel I have been watching for two three years now and waiting week after week for new videos. Thank you for everything The Jimmy wil ride more roads with a new daddy That will be the Jimmy's daddy but not his father😢😌

[@RoamOverlanding]

👌🏻 it’s Okay Ruben, there are still a few more Jimny episodes to come 😂 we will survive

[@BlaineVorster]

Yes you can sense the final stages and somewhat like watching your favorite series. The emotion is building up and has to reach a conclusion. But with new changes come new experiences.

[@KaizenOz]

Love the gull wings, ended up ordering a Jimny and can't wait to fit it out

[@RoamOverlanding]

Awesome! Congrats!!

[@raefalbayouk8694]

man you are the best overlander! Suzuki has to sponsor you because the alot of people loves Jimny because of you! This is a shout out from the U.A.E-Dubai !! #Suzuki @Suzuki

Thanks Jean!

[@gdparkinson]

OMG I want the draws, too cool, really like their work, just bought a Jimny 3 weeks ago it arrived, this looks like a must have

[@RoamOverlanding]

Congrats Graham! Definitely a good piece of kit to add!

[@michaelhoeve1778]

Fantastic development, it looks so good & practical & very functional. The guys have done a amazing job.

[@RoamOverlanding]

They really have! 👌🏻 I’m stoked!!

[@steveberg2685]

Fantastic setup. Being able to take advantage of that unused space behind the rear windows adds so much to the vehicle. I have a Pajero and, like you, want to take out the existing rear windows and substitute a gull wing setup. Just have to find someone who can do it.

[@20Westbook]

That is an impressive set up! Well thought out, designed and executed. 👍

[@RoamOverlanding]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@giovannielliot2710]

i realize it's kind of off topic but do anybody know a good website to watch new series online?

Very good idea!! I have a jimny and I wish I could equip it like this

[@RoamOverlanding]

Where do you live? This will be available in Europe, UK and Australia 👌🏻 could perhaps even arrange for South America if necessary

[@peterpontikos3786]

that's a good selling price, perhaps on the low side (in Europe the JB74 is in real short supply due to the emissions issues imposed and their resale is above the list price), excellent development on the gullwing with BushTech. all the best on your new endeavours

[@RoamOverlanding]

Thanks Peter, due to COVID’s impact on our economy in SA lots of people have canceled their orders and there seems to be a bit of new stock floating about, so getting top dollar right now is a bit tricky

[@Crazyoldman84]

I'm liking the look of the 5 door Jimny

[@gosonegr]

Im in love with the "mini wrangler" as I call it. It's a shame I can't get one in Europe... Enjoy your Jimny, is amazing

[@odys3803]

You can, either used or wait a bit it'll be soon sold as 2 seater commercial truck. It's more of a mini G-wagen or landcruiser, you can't get the doors and roof off on a Jimny, plus the the design is more similar to those.

amazing video mate. just wow lol... thank you.

[@rockypergin2216]

That would be nice if they were to also build those for the older 80’s and 90’s samurai’s and jimny’s

[@Cheeteach]

Really awesome stuff. I wonder if the gullwing can be reversed, opening down and used as a tiny table for electronics/coffeemaking, etc. I'm very tempted to switch my grand vitara 2006 for the awesome jimny, but we'll see.

[@bennychan8428]

[@mariusstrydom3603]

This is awesome guys...thank you so much for sharing this :)

[@petroverba6054]

I guess keeping there recovery gear is a little bit dangerous. Imagine if you're driving in some narrow road. From one side is a "rock wall" (like in Billy Goat Jim's recent video Cut Rock Road - Watagans). You might get so close to that rock wall, that it would be impossile to open the window. I guess kitchen stuff and charging station is better.

[@davidherbert4357]

Does Bushtech have dealers in Australia or is self install of the drawer and fridge slide an easy do it yourself job. I have a new 2022 Jimny but I am 79 years of age. I really like the fact that you can leave the rear seats in place. Dave H. Adelaide South Australia.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Hey David! They retail through Oz Jimny; the kit is definitely pretty easy to self install at home too 👍🏻

[@talk2leo]

Great video and great engineering. Regarding the fridge slider do you lose the little plastic storage compartment at the rear of cargo bay?

[@heinknoke2347]

Hi Adrian. This is just awesome! I think I need to contact Bushtec to find out if they are willing to do the same development for the pre 2020 Jimny. I am actually dreaming of using these compartments to store two 10 liter jerry cans [one on each side]. Not sure if that is possible, but I believe this could be a winner. Keep up the good work and good luck with your next project.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Thanks for the well wishes Hein! Using them as a fuel cell is certainly something to think of, also wouldnt advise over 10kg just to be safe!

[@allaboutbalochistan7659]

Nice space usage

[@RoamOverlanding]

I almost thought your comment said "Night Space Sausage" I laughed and then realised I need to learn to read properly

[@allaboutbalochistan7659]

Hahaha yes healthy people like me not you 😆 food weakness with some sausage

[@richardglossop9085]

Those gull wing doors look great. But wouldn’t it be better to have the doors opening down rather than up, so that you can utilise the doors as a work surface ?

[@RoamOverlanding]

We looked into that but it would make it abit tricky to ensure a tight dust and water seal.

[@richardglossop9085]

Roam Overlanding thanks for your reply, we don’t have a dust problem in the UK, just water and lots of it. When I watch ASPW videos, he’s always making sure everything is dust proof. 👍👍

[@vadmarchuk]

Have you considered installing the hatch upside down and fitting it with two support levers rather than the single gas spring so it can double as a small table (i.e. to accommodate a portable gas stove and a pot)? Seems to me this way it’d be a bit more practical with the field kitchen setup.

[@vadmarchuk]

But who am I to make suggestions? A couch adventurer 360 of 365 days a year :)

[@RoamOverlanding]

Hahha Vadim you are right to suggest that. The reason we didn’t do that is to to ensure a better dust and water seal, but maybe with some future testing we can find a way to get the best of both for that design 👌🏻

[@rashidrashid4347]

I love jimny

[@vineetjoshi5241]

Hey Mate, very informative video. Please share estimated price of modifications as well. Cheers!

[@riavan8133]

goodbye sweet jimny

[@thepicklejar7939]

We use a 2020 Jimny for our Pickle delivery vehicle and I would buy a kit for both rear window gullwings. Please produce.

[@RoamOverlanding]

You can pre-order for both sides now from bit.ly/JimnyGullwing 👌🏻👌🏻

[@davidwoods80]

Brilliant additions; I've one question (did I miss this?) why did you put the 'window box' on the passenger side? I would think that placing it on the driver's side would have prevented the blind spot you now have, when looking over your shoulder. More sales potential in LHD countries than RHD?

[@RoamOverlanding]

Hey David, we have designed for both windows. And have added an extra mirror to the side view mirror to give visibility of the blind spot 👌🏻 I have it on that side because the awning is that side. If I wasn’t going to sell the vehicle I would have both installed. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@davidwoods80]

@@RoamOverlanding Excellent thinking!

[@leonidnatapov861]

Awesome !! I have noticed black emblems on the rear door ) did you paint them or bought a new black ones ?

Best windows good job 😉🤙

[@eskanderx1027]

Seems to me, more logical to place it behind the driver though... What were your considerations for the opposite? 🤔

[@marz645]

I had the same thought. Having it on the passenger side is accessible from the "footpath" side of the vehicle but creates a larger blind spot. The Jimny is all windows and the mirrors are good so shouldn't be a huge issue if your a observant driver.

[@RoamOverlanding]

We have a design for left and right 👌🏻 I have mine there because my awning is on that side 👍🏻 if I was keen g the Jimny I would have both sides with gullwings and boxes

[@RoamOverlanding]

Also with regards to the blind spot issue, it’s corrected with a small blind spot mirror, stuck on the side view mirrors

[@unimog404]

That is so nice! If I would this mod to my Unimog I need a ladder :D

[@jcornelius1462]

Can the gullwing be turned to open downward and used as table?

[@BlaineVorster]

J Cornelius awesome suggestion. Im sure sealing needs more pressure but practically makes sense.

[@RoamOverlanding]

We did explore this as an option, but preferred the current method for ensuring a tight seal against dust and water. However a drop down table might be in development too 👌🏻

[@peterunwin420]

What would you think between the manual and automatic jimnys pretty much both the same do you think off-roading

[@RoamOverlanding]

The auto is quite nice for sure

[@peterunwin420]

@@RoamOverlanding great thanks I was thinking along the lines of an automatic love the videos they great

[@daycowhite6947]

Could it fold down instead of up to make a table?

[@RoamOverlanding]

It could but tit wouldnt seal as well against rain and dust; which was our top priority

Hi Adrian from New Zealand. I've looked on the Buch tech site and the Australian partner and it doesn't say anything about suzuki mods, are these mods still regarded as custom mods or will this change ie be listed as jimny mods? I'm hoping the Australian store will ship to NZ!!

Why not have the window upside down to create a table out of the door?

Good question; it’s harder to keep the door sealed from water and dust ingress when you’re fighting against gravity like that. It was more important to keep water and dust out of the vehicle/cupboard 👌🏻
