Update/Table Next step in the built up of my Ultra Micro Overland/Camper Jimny. A rear door mounted folding down Table so that I can cook and eat without needing a space for a separate table to pull out, put up and put away all the time. I was going to make my own folding table and an...

Welcome

So holes are awaiting for me to finish up fitting a Ironman Snorkel. Hinged front number plate is on its way to NZ from Australia. Also because of no reply to any of my emails to https://outbackadventureproducts.com/ for a Trailgator tailgate table, I presume they have closed down and out of...

All good I have my name down for a Toyota Land Cruiser 76 Wagon if there’s any more going to become available in 2024? But my Jimny built is still going forward and waiting for a few parts to finish of fitting the snorkel.

Which engine is that? Are you talking about the diesel V8 turbo? The most important thing is they are still available in manual transmission only! I don’t understand why so many people drive with automatics apart from in city traffic every day .

We have the two best 4x4’s still available down under in New Zealand and Australia. Suzuki Jimny JB74W Toyota landcruiser 76, 78, and the single and double cab 79 Sorry

Haha You’re so right it’s identical to a European one, because I import it from Germany :: Taubenreuther GmbH . Why not one made in New Zealand or Australia? A good number are not made to any safety standard. Some are designed to be hidden in the front bumper out of sighting, but then the clutch...

So I have now replaced the rear side windows which were non opening with a pair of sliding windows and security guard’s from Explore Glazing in the Netherlands.  Why ? To help keep my Jimny cool for the comfort of my co driver (Dog) and for the two of us to sleep inside at night comfortably.

Yes still being built and extremely trendy new model since late 2018 to be seen in and drive in the city. Unfortunately! Because of this, the waiting list in New Zealand is over six months, in Australia it’s close to one year, in Japan it’s over one year and Europe it’s not available anymore...

So to save on weight I have fitted a winch mount and an Warn Axon 55S winch. Just need to finish of the wiring up.

Thanks

Hi Dilldog Overlanding is always on roads, but the road’s may turn to dirt and in some cases just disappear be at from storm damage or just ending. Any vehicle can be used and the most inappropriate vehicles can turn into big adventure, Top Deck Travel used to drive Overland trips from London...

So in the passed I have been paid to driver Overland trucks in Europe and North Africa, drove double-decker buses and coaches through UK and about to Europe. Living now back home in New Zealand (Godzone) again and fortunately with a Brain Injury, large vehicles are no longer suitable for my...

Hi Marcus Welcome to OB Keep your great videos coming and I look forward to catching up with you out on the trails, be it in the North or South Island.

So after one year of ownership of my Jimny it’s was finally time to upgrade my rear side windows to sliding open Explore Glazing windows with security grills in place. Now I have to point out that they are normally just bonded in like the standard side windows! I have not just bonded in the...

Update Winch is fitted and waiting for me to wire up. Sliding windows have arrived and are now fitted Snorkel, has arrived and I have drilled the hole’s and waiting to make a Circuit breaker (for winch and air compressor) mounting and fitting into the engine bay before completing the snorkel...

Sorry I have been missing updating my Suzuki Jimny Ultra Micro Overland built. A family member has been unwell and I have been busy helping. Anyway I have now got a pair of rear window replacements that open up for more air flow. Waiting for a winch mount to arrive in NZ to mount up my new...

Hi Michael That’s it you have fixed up all my issues. Just waiting on Parnell to manufacture and for shipping to NZ. I can completely understand that there’s plenty of other things going on, and this might take some time. I have plenty to keep me busy with my ultra micro overlander build...
