I've heard a tip long ago, never skimp on anything that separates you from the ground. Tires, shoes/socks, sleeping pad, etc

[FarqueKnowsWhere]

Thanks Ronny, you prompted me to spend good money on tyres next time round, even if I cry for an hour or two after, and going back to factory steelies, had balancing issues after buying cheaper ones.
Travelling light is my theme, carrying less.. probably the best, simplest and cheapest way to achieve reliability.

I would also add suspension.
Don't get cheaper brands.
Get a quality one that is up to the task.

4 things you do not skimp on for any car are
Tires, Suspension, Brakes and Steering.

If you want to cheap out on other things, you can as it will only hurt you.
But those 4 I mentioned keep the car under control which is important so you do not hurt yourself or anyone else.

As someone who once buy 52$ each tire to use as daily off-roading, anything above 100kmh at highway or 60kmh when wet/rain is 90% guaranteed for skidding off the road when an emergency happened.Used 20k km of it and changed to CST sahara MT2 because maxxis bighorn 764 is become hard to find. FYI the Maxxis razer is unavailable in my country and apparently CST is the parent company of maxxis.

The number one thing you should do is not drive a Land Rover and you will most likely be fine.

A kinetic recovery strap (always wheel with a friend) is cheaper than a winch, method MR7xx wheels have the bead grip technology for airing down and preventing a de-bead, suspension, even some basic bilsteins will do wonders if you're stock stuff is worn out (spending more will get you more), transmission coolers are required these days with how modern transmission coolers work (preferably with a thermostat valve to allow it to warm up properly, a spare cv axle if you have an ifs (yea it's a pain to change on the trail but possible and can save some hassle), a decent tool kit with the specific size sockets for things like hubs or filter housings, snorkels with proper cyclone prefilters do wonders in dusty environments especially when you're not at the front of the pack, and finally, proper skid plates and a diff cover upgrade. You'll always find the limits of suspension at some point so having a proper set of skid plates can make up for a lot. Finally, some spare fluids like a quart of oil, atf, gear oil, coolant, and some metal based quick bond to temp repair any small leaks (not a good fix but can get you off the trail in a pinch).

Mine-Tana has been a favorite over the last couple years. Such a unique area and the trails they’ve been building are fantastic.

The most important mod that should be done is brakes. But the only compromise that should be made is weight as in higher weight. The Alcon's I use are a eye watering 8.5k after install.

Loving the contents of old Ronny Dahl. For a new inexperience 4x4 driver, this videos helps me lots. 😂

[gqwarrior]

Surprised you didn't mention brakes. Never skimp on brakes.

[our_roadtrip]

Actually... Change your Oils and Filters regularly! Get a grease gun!

[Javier-OverlandESP]

Allways great advices. Thank you for share your knowledge in that easy way.

[mikedoble]

Aaaaah can’t agree completely on the recovery points. Some vehicles have downward ( tie downs) and forward facing. Forward facing are fat as and easily capable of a ‘competent’ recovery. Welded to the same steel as you’re bolting your recovery points to. Loads are not as big as people think. Outback travel Australia did a report on actual loads in recovery, only article I have ever seen about this issue. That gave me peace of mind in the fact I have never bought recovery points. Incidentally my previous car, 2015 MU-X had “rated recovery points” at the time, with weight limits. ( I have the link to that article if anybody is interested)

[lauriecetinic-dorol]

Recommended the Fuel Pre-Filtet. Filled up in Williams (diesel), and the car started dying. I thought we were screwed luckily we were on our way back to Perth... spluttering all the way

[danielattwood]

I'm onto Kenda rt tyres, can't believe how good they are .Fill me with confidence!

[SeitharLP]

I recently watched a 1980 Toyota instruction video in which it was stated that you shouldn't change gears while doing a water crossing. Otherwise water would get between the clutch plates.
Is that because on old vehicles the clutch was exposed or is this still something to remember on 'modern' manual 70series with raised diff and gearbox breathers?

[davorocket]

Ronny you caught me off guard yesterday with your question, but I stand by my answer of having a piss. Good on ya for the safety message/advice style vids, more content creators should try a bit of it.

[rasta-xo]

This is all good advice and i respect your knowledge. I followed you into Maxxis Razrs and love them, However i regret following you into club 4x4, the cocks sent me the yearly renewal and not only did they wipe 10 Grand off the value they upped the premium to $1, 200 which is WAY more than before.
Left the f*ckers and went budget direct.

The "do not cheap out on tires/tyres" advice is not just valid for offroading. It's also the same for a small car that gets just used in town. I read the best sentence about that in a german car forum long ago: "A good set of tyres costs less than a new bumper."
-> a cheap set of tyres can lead to you not be able to stop and have a crash. And even a set of tyres by the premium manufacturers costs less than the damage resulting through cheap tyres. Hitting another car? damage will be greater than what gets saved by the cheap tyres. Hitting a preson?....
Proper tyres and brakes are what keeps you and others alive and well.

If you drive a Lada... DON'T buy genuine Parts 😁
