The light bars are great and they don’t really take anything away from the look of the Jimny. Always nice when you get sent quality gear that actually compliments your vehicle. Your video just confirms how nice the Jimny really is and how good a job Suzuki did with it. I’ve been watching some of the new Defender release “reviews”. Not a fan of the looks initially (it might grow on me) and disappointed with the over use of electronics. What do you think? Keep up the great content!👍

I’m loving my vehicle more and more every day. I feel like that defender is definitely not a modifiers toy, it looks pre done and we all know how factory accessories are in the real world 😂

the quality of this content is amazing.

Another awesome video. i just love lights haha, if it wasn't for south african traffic police that's so damn strict in some places my thar would be full of lights. And its a cool feeling testing your newly fitted lights in a really dark remote place.

Lights will guide you home!

Great setup! Congrats for the best new jimny

Awesome video boet! Jimny is looking great!

Looks awesome 😵❤️

Love the work you've done on the Jimmy, looks awesome!

finally you put bar led, I tell you at the beginning of the year! very good idea ... mine for my jimny happened too 👍🏻🇫🇷

really like the upgrade! nice video smooth edit and capture of video

Looks great and works brilliantly. As Marlon Forbes mentions, the legalities are vague although the law is quite specific with restrictions on height above ground, number of lights etc, the problem is that it doesnt seem to be applied uniformly in South Africa with some police in some areas drawing fines and confiscations and others not mentioning anything

Yeah it is a major issue. I’m aware that the law states it’s illegal, so I’ll be building a custom metal cover that will cap off the lights on the roofrack. Then when I know I’ll be offroad for extended periods of time I can remove it and use it there. The law states that these lights are illegal “on road” but offroad it’s fine 👍🏻 so an easy to remove cover to me seems to check the correct boxes. With the lights being wired to a separate switch, they will be completely unengaged until the cover is off and they are necessary offroad

I just found out about the Suzuki Jimny yesterday and found your channel today. Glad to say that I stumbled across your channel and see all the cool mods that you are doing with the Jimny! Unfortunately, I live in the U.S and there are no Suzuki products available. It's such a shame.

Hey Eddie! Thanks for stopping by! There is a very small chance that the Toyota/Suzuki merger, might be able bring in my Jimnys with Toyota badges. (Like has happened before)

The light bars are really really cool.. 👍👍👍

Lights will work well off-road, especially in Botswana at night, lots of animals on road, better to reach destination before dark

Did I just see a Suzuki Equator pickup? Basically, its a rebadged Nissan Frontier truck. The blue light switches look really cool.

Really love your channel, your videography and what your turning your Jimny into. All is awesome!

How do you remove the switch panel in the lower dashboard to install the switches?

great job!

Any chance you have more details on interior switches ?

Should have gone with round lights... IDK vintage. Orange color buttons don't hurt your night vision as bad by the way, bluelight is absolutely terrible for it. That's why red and orange are so often used in automotive lighting. If possible you might want to go back.

What happened to your new roof top tent? Have you decided to abandon the idea of mounting a RTT on the Jimny? If you have and still want an easy to set up tent, take a look at the OzTent RV3, RV4, or RV5. They call it the 30 second tent for a good reason.

I am currently planning an overland trip across South America, spanning at least 2 years. I have been budgeting for a used Land Cruiser, but this little Suzuki is looking quite interesting and very affordable - and the Suzuki dealerships in South America are selling them. Do you think this would be a competitive alternative to a 10-year-old (can't afford a new Land Cruiser) J70 (the boxy ones)?

Quedo espectacular... saludos desde Perú

Great looking setup! I have been looking at buying a pair of the MX140-SP. I have a hard time finding any real world footage of the in action. What do you think of them, can you recommend them? Do you have any night footage with them on?

@RoamOverlanding

They are great! Small enough to not restrict your airflow to the engine; but also strong enough to really help out at night. They are the same brightness as the high beams I find but just a wider spread; so used in conjunction with the high beams; they give you pretty incredible light!

Hello and thank you for this great video! I hesitate to take MX140 from Osram for my Defender. Looking at the site, I think I saw that there are two positions, classic lights (the white rectangle at the top) and the spots (the bottom part). In your video, it seems that when you turn on your headlights only the bottom part lights up, it's voluntary?

IMVHO: You SERIOUSLY need to get a better grip on wire-routing & feeding juice to the rack. Look up german AQS plugs...->shop.gmb-mount.de/zubehoer/elektro-installation/aqs-stecker/

Lots of music and shots of fog, but no practical detail of how to wire up the lights. Fail.
