Ive recently been to Ladakh. Gave me real sense of how you survived by camping outside in cold and walking kms with that heavy bag in your early days . Hats off to you. Love your videos and content. Be safe
Thank you so much.. :)
Both your CZcams channels are kind of detox to me. When I get bored of other social media or spiced up CZcams content, then I come to your channel for pure organic content and it takes me to another world of pure solitude.
That's great to hear. Thanks Mukesh

The video I was looking for, now waiting for Jimny to hit used market
I really used to wonder why you named the Jimny as Rebo, now that I know...I also think its most aptly named👍🏻. Good luck.
Thanks Sourabh
So glad you have embarked on a new episode of your life. Self sustained freedom.
You've manifested the perfect set up. Even the vehicle itself is perfect light weight off roader. Well done.
Look forward to more adventure discoveries with you.🙏
Thank you.. yes, the Jimny is the perfect vehicle for mountains. It is a pity that it is not selling well..
Brilliant! Simple, functional and just perfect!!
perfect words to describe the setup :)
Time to watch and rewatch this video until the next one drops
lol.. this is not that kind of video, except maybe if you are modifying a jimny and need some tips
Sir, you're living the dream. God bless you!
The dedication , commitment and courage to live a life like this is commendable ! Your videography skills are outstanding ..maybe Suzuki should keep you as a permanent videographer. Following u from your India in Motion days. Always get fascinated by every single video of yours ! Keep on going , Keep on Living. Hope we cross our paths some day !
Thank you Krishan
Wow! Amazing achievement indeed, Saravana! Solo travel on a modified Jimny, with sleeping and cooking etc. within the car. Effective and practical design of the canopy in the rear. The rear door works well fr that, eh? U didn't cover the bathing etc., but I guess you would manage it the best possible way. All footage is just Wow!! The snow accumulating on the car and canopy!! Nomad life!
Thanks Rajeev.. as for your question.. there is no provision for bathing.. although my Sea to Summer Watercell X bladder has a shower nozzle, i dont think I will be using it much. Hot towel baths are fine and there are always nice cool streams in the summer months.
From showing the trekking kit details to now this about the Rebo! Whoa, what an amazing journey this has been, Sravana! You've truly shown dedication to fulfilling your passion. Hats off to you!
Thanks Vishal
Saravana. You are epitome of photography.
Not really.. still have a lot to learn
Man, you are an architect 🫡, so have designed everything so beautifully
I was a (software) architect in a different life. So I guess the skills transferred here as well. But seriously.. I always followed the minimalist, less is more, design philosophy and applied it here as well to the car.
one of the best content creator your videos deserve millions of views and likes😊
Thank you
I loved your simplicity and more ADVENTURES. You have an amazing REBO CAMPER. #Inspiration
Thanks so much!
Awesome! Wishing you many more years of experience at the mighty mountains.
Thank you so much!
I dont know if I would be able to live in such harsh climatic conditions. But, your timelapses are a thing of beauty & I really believe to be able to do all this one day.
Great work sir as always❤
Thank you very much!
The color grading on the outdoor shots are 🔥
Thank you
You are my Hero, my mentor❤❤
I look up to you for my future plannings.
Love you brother ❤
:)
This is incredible. Have forever loved ALL your content. Being a lover of the Himalayas, this is so heartfelt. Thank you for sharing all the little details. ❣️👌
You are welcome and thanks for watching
I pray to the god that never ever Rebo meet any kind of accident , you thought of all possibilities that’s fine.😊
Thank you. I feel that I have more chances of being hit by falling rocks than any other cars on the road. Hope neither happens though. Fingers crossed.
@@reboonwheels Very true and practical apprehension indeed. But similar things can happen anywhere in form of other shooting objects :-) BTW idea of roof top boxes indeed cheaper solution than Farad roof top box.
@@ExploreWithSandeepG And better looking as well.. Personally i feel that the Farad boxes are ugly. But they can be easily taken off and put on, unlike my setup.
I never imagined a saravana from the south will be the most involved traveler I'll come across about my favorite place, Ladakh. Hats off to you and what an incredible country we live in.
Your videos stir something inside, bring out question about life choices.
Glad to hear that Rohit. Hope you find your answers soon.
Great job enjoy the moment
serene, soothing, and utterly captivating ...
Sweet and simple and one more thing … very pratical, overlanding is experience with practical aspects to sustain ourself in wild 💪👏
Thank you.. absolutely, i wanted a minimal and practical setup and am very happy with what I came up with here.
Very nice setup and innovation.
1) Notice you used laminated mdf. Pls consider chamfering the edges. That edge can put a knife to shame at times.
2) Must use a primer on the sanded plastic grille before painting. Rustoleum is an option. That will provide a good base for the paint to adhere to. DIY
3) Pls inspect diff oils for contamination once in a while if you move through deep water crossings. The Jimny differential breathers like the Gypsy are iffy and contamination, if left unattended, will ruin the diff and pinion gears and bearings. An expensive repair.
Keep soaring !
Yes, chamfering the edges was a good idea. The whole carpentry work was done in a couple of days, as I was in a hurry to visit Lahaul before a snowstorm hit. The paint shop did use a primer, not sure what they used though.
Good tip about the diff oil.. I haven't done any water crossings yet on the Jimny, but will keep it in mind. Thanks.
You make amazing content on the Himalayas and the nomadic lifestyle you love. Great work, cheers to nomadic lifestyle.
Glad you like them! Thank you.
loved the cliff at start and end of the video, thanks for sharing
That's the majestic Gonbo Rangjon in Zanskar.
Awesome build, your an inspiration
I appreciate that!
Hello there very nice video really enjoyed it frame by frame with that background score
Glad to hear that. Thank you.
I love that now you have a home on wheels in Ladakh. ❤❤
The video you made is wonderful! 😊
Loved your Rebo sir, and the DIY design. That's something pretty useful if someone wants to design his/her own home on wheels. Keep going !!❤
Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for your detailed review
Very smartly designed car
Thank you
Very well thought out designs. Good to see that you have balanced comfort and frugality.
Couple of additions you could make - fire extinguisher and first aid kit.
Yes, I need to add both those things to my kit. Thank you.
Lovely, how beautifully planned, scripted, and executed. Bravo! Not at all easy. Will you please help me with exact internal dimensions of the boxes please? thanks! Fascinating work!
I don't have the dimensions and my car is 3000km away at the moment. The only measurements you need to worry about it how high you want the boxes to be (i wanted to be able to sit normally in the car on top of the boxes) and how far the boxes go behind the front seat (I made the boxes just long enough to touch the front seats in my ideal driving position)
@@reboonwheels thanks for your response, my question was about dimension of the boxes at top of roof carrier if you can help with please.
@@TilakRajVerma Oh ok.. I do not have the exact dimensions as im away from the car. Sorry, can't be of much help here.
really nice video.. best of luck for your adventure..
Thank you so much 🙂
Nice video! One thing I would like to highlight is that the Jimny roof load limit is between 30-40kg if i am correct. With two roof boxes with items in them, roof rack and the awning you might be touching the max limit. Please be safe.
Enjoy your camping and looking forward to more of your videos.
Yes, I'am aware of the manufacturer stated limits and im quite sure that the things i have on the roof would easily exceed it. It might make a difference while driving in high speeds on the highways, but for my use cases it should be totally fine. I have seen people carrying a lot more stuff on the roof of their 3 door jimnys
That limit is dynamic load. Static load is much higher. You need to reduce you highway speed when top is heavily loaded and also being aware of leaning angle while offroading.
Thanks bro i was chasing you for this video from 6 month thanks will help me to desgin some thing for me🙏🙏
You are welcome.. sorry it took me so long to make the video
@@reboonwheels no problem 😇😇
Brilliant and nesh setup. I love it. Thanks for doing Rebo’s tour !!!!! ❤
You are welcome
Amazing beautiful location bro I like video
Love the set up you have done. Simple and very functional. Love your content - be it India in Motion or Rebo on Wheels.
Thank you so much
Hello sir.., wow Rebo looks amazing, very helpful yet informative video.... Salute to your fine choice of selection of items....❤ From Chandigarh
Glad you found it informative. Thanks for watching.
@@reboonwheels ❤️
Very nice and informative video sir 🙏
Amazing content like always…love your videos❤… do you recommend Jimmy?
This is called nice and simple camper jimny love it more. stock jimny is perfect for offroad. Rebo is doing well on Himalayas ❤
Thank you
Beautiful Rebo
Best 👍👍
Real good set-up and the name is too good 😄
Thank you
The future of real-estate is not that great😊
Its great to see new ways of living ❤
lol..
If possible spent couple of days at Losar for Milky Way
What's special about Losar? I have seen a lot of milkyways in the middle of nowhere in Ladakh, Spiti etc. Wondering what makes Losar unique?
Excellent Sir.....I am a bit surprised to see as your Setup slightly resembles to mine, maybe because we share the same mindset🙂 but it's just that mine is a DIY in an Old Gypsy. YOUR VIDEO CONTENT IS OUTSTANDING.
We should definitely connect and meetup someday.
That's great to hear. But yeah, it is kind of the simplest setup that one can make, so I'am not surprised that many other people also have similar setups. Thanks for stopping by to comment.
@@reboonwheels Hi Sir, I feel we should connect as we share the same passion of overlanding.My Insta id is "myadventurecamper"....Do write back....tc
Awesome Bro, love your content, 😊
Thanks!
Thank you so much Usha 🙏
I would love to go on a winter expedition with you, i am planning to get my thar turn into a camper and i am yet to install a rooftop tent in my thar.
You would freeze you **lls off sleeping in a roof top tent during winter in places like Ladakh and Zanskar. The inside of the car would be much warmer. Anyway, I do not travel with strangers, so all the best for your modifications and have fun with your Thar.
Hats off to this guy❤
Lovely set up 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Rajeev
Lovely.. as always. Have two questions
1. What happened to the ecosport?
2. If you sleep diagonally you can perhaps sleep flat without the invline like it is now. Im sure you have thought of this but curious why you are not doing that
Ecosport is in Chennai.. like I always intended it to be.
There is enough space for me to sleep straight without feeling uncomfortable. Yes, my toes touch the tailgate if i lie down perfectly, especially the pouches i have hanging which rob a couple of inches of sleeping space. But it is no big deal and im a side sleeper anyway, so i naturally curl up a bit while sleeping, so my toes never touch the tailgate. I slept in my car for 50 to 60 days during this trip. I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't comfortable.
Like to watch the adventure you have 😊❤👍
Thank you so much.
Great video and setup
Thanks!
Nice video sir
Thanks
Love your videos sir.
I love this setup and thanks for sharing
You are welcome
Keep growing
thankyou so much for your hardwork
Welcome Harsh
Great rebo ...
Hello, Rebo looks amazing. By the way, I also own Jimny and last week I visited Padum to Leh via Kargil, and traffic police at Kargil challaned me for roof rack carrier modification, so please be careful while travelling to Kargil
Oh wow.. that is troublesome. I did not expect the police in the mountains to fine cars for having roof racks. If it is happening in Kargil then it can happen in Leh as well. Very troubling.
Timelapse’s are beauty
Thank you
Good name for
Finally I figured out the mystery surrounding the name Rebo.I presumed it was your nickname (had a Malayali acquaintance nicknamed Rebu !).
Great to see you following up on your calling - the big wide open.
Is that an MSR Whisperlite stove ?
Yes it is a Whisperlite, I also use a Dragonfly from time to time. I have been. following this calling for almost 14 years now. Just the mode of transportation has changed with age :)
@@reboonwheels I too have both.The Dragonfly gave me flame control to bring out the inner chef in me 😉 Like you mentioned,when I was younger (am 61) we hauled all our stuff in a 80L back pack,tent and all to set up campsites.Now am yearning the Jimny camper life as roads are improved and one is older.I however will keep my Jimny as stock as possible for now till I know my requirements also taking advantage of all the camping gear I already have.Obviously will need to compromise with having lots of bits n pieces and setting up the tent outdoors and dismantling the same.I wish you well for your future endeavours.
Superb...... informative video...
அருமை, How do u heat!
You paid 4k to paint that radiator grill? No way. That's extravaganza for this little piece to paint. You could buy a matt black grill for 4.5k and retain the original grill too.
lol.. I was definitely ripped off. I had negotiated 7K to paint the grill and the roof matte black. But I changed my mind when i went to the shop and asked them to paint only the grill. I did not ask the price for it since i assumed that it would be around 1 to 2K. It was my mistake not asking the price first, and I was shocked when the final bill came to 4K.
Superb Video
thank you
Beautiful
Your are a prodigy
Sir what about your indianinmition chanel
Thanks
Thank you so much.
Great Vid Anna!!! Curious to know how much additional weight did u put on the car. Thereby is there any significant drop in performance and mileage?
I have no idea.. I had this setup from the very beginning. So do not know if there is a difference. The added weight at the back should be less than having a couple of adults at the back, so I do not think there would be much difference. The weight on the roof would definitely affect the aerodynamics of the already un-aerodynamic car.
@@reboonwheels finally whats the avg mileage u are getting in ur use case.
@@justvish around 12 in the mountains.. that is on average across different types of terrains. If I just drive from Leh to Kargil then i would get around 16 kmpl.
Hello! Loved the tour of your Rebo! I have two questions for you though.
1. Could you tell me how long does your EcoFlow take to charge fully after days worth of usage please consider both conditions i.e. while you are driving between places vs when you are camped at a site for a few days.
2. Also please share how do you ventilate while sleeping. Is pulling down window glass comfortable during mountain nights?
Good questions. I have River 2 Max Version.. Its capacity is 560W and the cigarette lighter socket provides around 100W of power. So it takes around 6 hours for me to fully charge the EcoFlow while driving. Same while camping as well... but I plan to install solar panels on my roof boxes to charge the Ecoflow when I'am at a place for a few days. I will get it done before the winter season starts.
Regarding ventilation.. I don't fully bang the doors shut, but keep a few mm gap when closing the door. In my Ecosport I had the window visor which allowed me to roll down the windows a little bit while sleeping and still avoid rain/snow from blowing inside. The Window visors currently available for the Jimny are fugly, so im waiting for some good ones to hit the market before i install them.
Please fabricate a door stopper of sorts for your rear door to prevent it from swinging in while open for any reason while you're cooking. How long does that gas cylinder last you?
Yes.. I need to do that door stopper thing. I use pieces of plywood sometimes, but it is not very effective. Btw, it is a petrol camping stove... I have never used throwaway gas canisters as I feel that they are very wasteful.
Very Good Like subscribed 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks and welcome
Please share buying link of these solar panels which you have bought for gifting sir
They are not available in India. You can search for Flexsolar 10W on Amazon US
Thankyou sir for this video
Best wishes. ❤
Thank Ajay. Really appreciate it.
A true enthusiast
Enthusiast for exploring.. not a car enthusiast
@@reboonwheels thats what i mean I have been following you from “India in motion” and know your full story from corporate to china to mountains and have been following you before covid. So i know you pretty well 😂
@@Treksforsoul lol.. that's great then. I was expecting that the people who come to this channel to be mostly automobile enthusiasts.
Amazing video bhaiya 😄
Can you make a video on which places should we visit on a 3 days trip and also the best time to come to Ladakh
there are 100s of people making videos like that..
@@reboonwheels I don't think they are as much experienced as you 😅
Superb
Hello brother
I am planning to buy jimny as a second car for travelling across india. Is it worth buying . Whats your take on it.
My take will obviously be a bit biased as i own and love the car. It is perfect for my needs. A little under powered on the highways, but I am a sedate driver and do not drive aggressively. So it doesn't matter much to me.
Can you confirm if the UPI ID is correct in the description, unable to find
Oh sorry.. my account was migrated from Citibank to Axis this month.. so the old UPI is not valid anymore. The new one is saravkupi@okaxis. I will update the description of all these videos now.
Could you share info on the roof rack please
amzn.to/3zMVuiO
Could you please tell us more about the "solar panels" that you bought to be given as "Gifts". From the looks of it, they seem like 10W panels. Tell us more about it, the price and where to get them from.
They are indeed 10W panels.. Flexsolar bought from Amazon US and carried to India by a friend
@@reboonwheels Thank you for your prompt reply. All the best for your future experiences with "Rebo".
Great 👍👍👍
Thank you 👍
Does anyone know which pressure cooker that is? Great little cooker for car camping.
