- I met up with Blaine and Dimitri, with their White and Kinetic Yellow Jimny's. We would be attended a Suzuki 4x4 SA event at Groenkloof Nature Reserve. A good amount of fun in the mud and water lay ahead for us all! What a blast!

There is something so satisfying about watching these little cars negotiate all this terrain! Finally got one myself and can't wait to bring it out.
The Jimny deserves way more attention than it gets. My belief in this vehicle just shot up 500%. My dream first car.
Wow! That’s crazy 😁
@@RoamOverlanding at 2:59 why do you say that a manual if get stuck won't get out. And why the auto , if get stuck will get out easy. Please explain. Thanks
I love the white one, looks vintage
Had I not seen your videos before, I'd have thought this was a Jimny commercial! Really top quality - well done!
Thanks Philip! :P Maybe one day I will be filming a Jimny commercial ;)
Greetings from the Philippines. Proud Jimny owner here... :)
That’s it!!! I’m buying one!!! Damn you!!! Damn you, I say!
Nice vid, dude!
Well done Adrian, these videos are always top class and very pleasurable to watch..
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy them! 😎 I make them for people like you 😁
Go Jimny!
Perfect vidéo, perfect vehicle !!! 🇫🇷👍🏻
What a country - and car!!
....nicely done bro,...top quality stuff,...easily the best new Jimny videos on the CZcams,...Suzuki will reach you soon for these stuff..You are creating a mad demand for this vehicle with these videos....
As long as people leave my videos happy and excited about the Jimny, I am happy! :)
these videos are adding to supply problem... hahahaha. great work! love the slow motion.
Damn you, suzuki. Your car just brilliant
Yet more great editing/ shooting! The Jimmy looks great in its element and really competent off road. More please!!
Getting better mate, keep it up!
At 2.21! 😱 Looks like a close call! 😱😂🥳
Nice video. Thanks for the rest we look forward to.
Посмотрел несколько ваших видео. Мне понравилось. Отлично!
Great video.. I'm from Tasmania Aus and have just ordered my first Jimney... stumbled across this video and found it awesome...Love SA..been there many times so nice to hear that accent..
Thanks so much! I keep watching videos of Tasmania, and I think you’re going to have an amazing time exploring Tasy with the Jimny
@@RoamOverlanding I am always watching videos of South Africa... wish i was there more lol
One more great video!
I got a Nasty Spider bite walking through those waters at Groenkloof checking the water and ditches ect. That cant be seen in those muddy waters.. Since then My brother inlaw got a set of waders to walk water crossings before we enter them.. Very cool video work. Making Groenkloof look very interesting again... I have not been there again since the spider bite..
Geez! That’s rough! I would like to get a set for myself and my girlfriend; especially for her as she is often the one filming at times like this. I hope the leg is alright 👍🏻
Awesome professional video, thanks guys.
Finally some decent 4x4 test for Jimny thou it can go really way harder than that. Good job.
Wait and see the next episode! :D
@@RoamOverlanding .Cant wait ! :)
Looks like you had a fantastic day. I try to get my wife to see all the practical benefits of a new Jimny against our Mondeo.
The new Jimny is just so much fun!
Dude I honestly lov your videos. The actual production of it is top notch. And I dare say you are the reason why I'm selling my Golf R and ordering a Jimny. I just need to decide on a colour. I really like the Grey by seeing Dimitri's one in that kinetic yellow is confusing the heck out of me.. Keep those vids coming....
Good stuff, well done for proving the Jimny can do water that deep without a snorkel. You had some balls doing that trail in the NEW car, I would shed a tear when the first scratch or dent happens!
The tears were just shed off camera :P
Cant wait to get mine.
The best video so far ! Thank you !
Thanks for always watching Alex! :) Im glad you enjoyed!
Bring this beauty to Mexico. Baja 1000 it's waiting for it. 😎🌵🐍🚙
That would be such an incredible trip!
very cool video!!!
i get jimny next month in japan.
Great video as usual. Love the Jimny! ... From a JL Rubicon owner in Canada.
I think a JL would be a great big brother for our Jimny! 😁
I love the grey jimny
Me too 😉
Fantastic video !
The best video thank you
Thx,good video...
Best video mate well done ..from tanzania😊
great video
Excelent video, nice machine
Super video :)
Tomorrow going to pick up my yellow GLX! So excited! 😯🙏🏻
Congrats! What colour did you end up going with?
Lemon, that's why I said yellow GLX 😂
It was between Dark Green, Beige or Lemon
Love your videos!
Thanks so much mate! :)
Really nice video. Hi from Nicaragua.
Fantastic
Awesome video again
Just love your jimny videos
Thanks so much! Its so awesome having great viewers like you, who take the time to tune in every week!
@@RoamOverlanding
I cant wait for your videos , not being in SA and able to take my Landy out , makes me long home more , but getting to watch your videos helps
Ah thats so awesome man! Im glad we can remind you of home!
You certainly know how to shoot videos and take pics i especially liked the last few pics awesome quality
Thanks so much Asha! It’s a teamwork, we are starting to get the hang of it all now 😎
Amazing videography! Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much Jason, Shandelle did a great job filming!
This is so epic
Bring these to America!!!!!!
日本人から見ても、スズキジムニーは最高の４WDですよ
Brilliant video guys - went to Suzuki in Cardiff, Wales UK last week to place an order only to be told that delivery was two and a half years!! errr hello?!!
Yeah, they got caught with their pants down on how much demand there would be for the Jimny.
like jimny so much! (hi from indonesia)
Great to see what a Jimny can do. Its sad that the Jimny arraiws to Sweden i Jun/Juli this summer. Locking forword to that
Man, is there anything that Car Cant Do? Small Car Big Attitude a real Off Roader.
Haha! It really has a lot of attitude!
i cant fly
cant win an F1 race
Totoy Bibo would love to see a F1 go where this goes
@@digitalsuperman If the race uncludes only 4m of mud and stones the jimny will win 😏
How cool ! Right after the Australia "deep water" video, I sent you yesterday, today the same (kind of) with you guys ... :-)
I think its so cool having three of us now! :D It wont be like that in all the videos, but I definitely look forward to having Blaine and Dimitri with us in the future! :D
Wow... Wow... Wow
Cant wait till it is available in Denmark.......
Awesome video! Greets from Perú!
Thanks for watching!
Saludos desde Colombia...💪
The video quality is top notch!
Thanks Adeel!
Nice, i dream of going off and overland, maybe someday
Well Done. It is hard alteady to get jimy in Scotland and now after your video it will be impossible. Thanks now I need wait a year do to high demand and low supply
Sorry mate! I wish you luck though!
I never considered this car to be anything more than a “hairstyle” 4wd, now I want one.
So the automatic transmission managed to survive water submersion? Awesome!! 👍
que alegria ver como disfrutan sus jimny , me encantaria que llegara a mexico pero entiendo su demanda en todo el mundo he imagino del por que no llega a mi pais es mas del por que nunca ha llegado me pone triste pero sigo con la espera el 4 x 4 me encanta de igual forma la zona en donde vivo hay mucho fango terraseria charcos de agua y mi actual unidad se ha ido en verdad acabando poco a poco pero sigo en la espera de que llegue a mi pais saludos desde mexico !!
he mandado sin fin de correos y mensajes a suzuki para que pueda enviar unos a mexico pero aun ha sido en vano y las malas lenguas han dicho que posiblemente no llegue y eso vaya que me pone triste en fin seguimos en la espera #Suzuki
Its a fantastic little vehicle! It would be epic to go to Mexico and explore it by overland!
Suscribded!
Awesome footage of what these little beasts can do! Any possibility of looking at a comparison between the manual and auto? Would love to know how the two differ on and off road. Keep it up!
Thanks Deon! I will perhaps do a video with Blaine, and he can talk about his experience with the Auto. :)
Also keen for one of those videos, looking at updating my jimny as soon as we see them over here in New Zealand,
Roam Overlanding I’m also curious about the advantages of driving a manual or auto jimny for 4x4 purposes!! By any chance have u explained it in one of your vids? Great work btw man! Just got my jimny here in the philippines today.
N.1 jimny
Nice video! Too bad it contains two things I can't get in the states today: the Jimny and ACA JOE. The Samurai was sold here years ago as was ACA JOE clothing.
Sonny Cruz same problem i what one in USA
❤❤❤❤❤❤
jimny go go
I would love to see you in action on the beach or dunes in some really soft sand please :)
please do a video of a soft sand or on the beach
I subscibed mate nice video 👍
Welcome aboard!
It ’s an exciting attack! Jimny is a small but reliable car! I want to attack my Jimny and Prado！
Sweet car. When i wont go to off road - i just take this Jimmi to my BMW trunk and go to point:) Jimmi Step one in offroad in POLAND :)
Cool video man.
I drive a k-class JB23 in Japan.
I just know Jimny really goes with muddy , rocky and steep slope sections.
Also, Jimny will be able to finish those sections much easier than Land cruiser or G-class thanking to its lightness.
I want JB74 someday.
I think so too, it’s special because it is light. I guess the future of my car will make it heavy with all the stuff on, but I don’t want to do these crazy 4x4 courses forever. I would prefer to encounter them naturally when I’m traveling 😁
Yeah I agree.
You’d better not dare to go into this kind of course very frequently if you like to keep yours functional and capable as long as possible.
On the contrary however, you’ll find out that Jimny ‘s instinct doesn’t permit you to be conservative and it’ll lead you to the similar Jimny’s paradise as this video 😁
That’s the story of my life😆
Hahah! I think you are right! I get to Friday afternoon and Im already ready to get in the mud!
Cool, way to go!
Keep at it👍
Give us some feedback on the auto gearbox of the Jimny and how it compares with the manual gearbox and which would you recommend.
Thank you for the informative videos.
O Jimny é ótimo.
I am very interesting with jimny one day i will buy it
Another outstanding production Adrian. Do you plan on fitting a snorkel at some stage? Diif breathers may be a great addition as well?
Yep, I will definitely be doing breathers and a snorkel as soon as its available.
Wow
hahahahahah all the men can't stop talking 3:56
Finally got a confirmed delivery date, but I had to change the colour to get one this year going for the SZ5 in Silver like yours, will have it end of May 2019. There's only around 200 in total coming into the UK for all of 2019. My dealer stopped taking deposit in Jan 19 as they are now saying 2020 the earliest for any more.
Congrats! Your colour will be different to mine as mine is medium grey; however I really like the silver ; it looks awesome!
Great to see the different colours together. My kinetic yellow will be arriving at the end of March. Can’t wait! Another top video man and those subs are flying up now! Well done 👍🏻
Thanks Dan! The Kinetic yellow actually really surprised me... I wasnt too mad about it on social media, but when I saw it in real life... Wow.. Its really nice.
Yeah I’m the same. When I saw it in person I was pleasantly surprised. Just wondering what sort of depth the jimny can actually wade through. How deep did you go ?
Daniel Heywood I think the deepest we went was nearly above the wheel
@@danielheywood2660 it's never recommended to go deeper than the centre of the wheel, because deeper than that you start to damage stuff like wheel bearings, alternator, starter motor and electronics. If you have to, the Jimny will go to about half way up the headlights. That is level of the air intake. Also the door seals are not as good as the previous generation, so you better keep moving.
I very much so agree with Victor. You have to take it easy, also if there is any flow in the water it can just be really dangerous to take it further than half way above the wheel.
This car is going to be a huge hit. I hope its a big enough hit for suzuki to bring them back to north america.
Awesome video. Have you tested the Suzuki Grand Vitara? I would like to know what you think about it
Not yet; I’d give it a go some time though 👍🏻
I'm so jealous we don't get those in Canada!
Or in the USA :(
which is the best option, manual or auto? (usesd for daily commute and occasional 4x4)
If you don’t mind a weaker feeling vehicle then the auto would be better. But the illusion of power with a manual gear box is better, and you can get better fuel economy in a manual
What tyre choices were the other 2 running, any comments on tyre performance?
The white Jimny was on the same as mine, and then the kinetic yellow jimny had a 205/75/15 performance wise, we had a bit more grip in the really slick mud, but that could’ve just been pressures. He definitely gets better fuel consumption than us though 😂
Camera Woman: I can't these guys to shut up. Lol
However, I did see a white Suzuki Grand Vitara Xsport. I had one of those SUVs and it surprised me on what it could do. They use to sell them here in North America. But no more dealerships as Suzuki pulled out of the NA market.
What's the roofrack brand? Looks good.
The roofrack is Eezi Awn, it’s tough as nails!
Great!! Could you tell me your detail of the roof rack? I would love to buy same one for my jimny :)
Hey buddy! You can watch this video czcams.com/video/m6THrr9zrog/video.html I talk about everything
If Suzuki would sell this vehicle in the U.S. they would put a severe hurting on Jeep. I would not purchase a new Jeep Wrangler, but I would buy one of these. This automobile reminds me of my 1987 Dodge Raider, which was a 1st generation Mitsubishi Montero. I nevr should have gotten rid of that automobile. And this looks like a modern day version of my 1st gen Montero.
The Jimny may be small but sure packs a punch. What are those tires shod on those JImnys? Great video.
Absolut awesome video about the new Jimny! What a great little car.
As it was said before i also would wish a comparison between the auto and the manual transmission - Thanks for doing that!
It`s a shame that here in Germany nearly everywhere it is prohibited to drive offroad without special permission such as for hunters or rangers.
Thanks man!! 😁 I’ll chat with Blaine and see if we can arrange something to compare the two.
@@RoamOverlanding Perfect - i appreciate that! Thanks man!
Beside that it would be interesting to find out, how the KO2 Tires perform offroad and how you build and equip the car... ;-)) What are your next plans for that?
bel video vorrei sapere dove hai comprato il portapacchi
Os três Jimmy (cinza, branco e amarelo), são automáticos ou manual?
Any thoughts about a lift kit on your Jimmy?
I might do something small, but through suspension and not through lifting blocks
Will it ever come with a diesel engine? Sujuki already has a few in their other models.
Great video. The BFG 215/75's looked perfect fit and did the job. Would 235/75's be too big ?
You can fit 235/75, you will need a lift and offset rims though
What pressure are you using in tires Adrian? Thank you !
I think I was using 1.2 Bar there
se ha modificado la suspensión para colocar los neumáticos? que tipo y medida de neumáticos tienen estos Jimny?
Do you feel the need for some underbody protection? Skid plates? Differential guards?
Did the car hit something underneath in that trail? Or ground clearence is good enough?
The dif and everything was fine. The parts that really got hit bad are the radial cups, I severely damaged the one. I’ll be putting on steel radial cup protectors next week!
@@RoamOverlanding Radial cups? What are those? Could you show them? Thank you ! Forgive my lack of not knowing that !
Its the part of the suspension system, and is the lowest part of the vehicle on the Jimny.
@@RoamOverlanding I've google it and see. Thank you !
@@RoamOverlanding please make a video on that. Mounting and informations about radial cups steel plates protector
How deep do you think it could go through a water crossing?
This was pretty much it’s limitation in all honesty
