Your much better off to know you're vehicle ;-)

ive been told u turn them upside down and tap them with a rubber mallet.

Yup, that works just don't tap too hard :)

Yeah, this is likely very valid for places like Australia. Here in Scotland, I'd say my longest trail is a 6-12 hour hike from the nearest village, with plenty of water sources along the way. Maybe more than a 1 day trip, but managable. I always carry a little bug out kit for this reason, especially if my vehicle becomes fully compromised (rollover) and if it leaves the trail.

Carry an emergency beacon or satellite communication tool. Also, don't paint your vehicle camouflage. Makes spotting your vehicle from the air very difficult.

yes take a spare key, great advice

I have one permanently hidden securely on my vehicle just in case

Get off your high tower!

I've had no probs with any of my Jeeps, had 5 now over the years. I have heard of lemons and other people with issues no doubt, but so far so good for me. Just keep them well maintained, and use it within its working limits (i.e. don't overload or tow anying too heavy). If you need to carry/tow more then get a bigger 4wd.

Yes, one only hears about those issues, usually from a Toyota or Land Rover owner whose cousin's uncle's nephew once broke down in a Jeep but the details always lack! JK Wranglers have now been on the market for over 10 years and have proven themselves to be supremely reliable; capability beyond doubt.

😂😂😂😂

cobblecrazy a paint pen tends to work a bit better, but reference marks are definitely a good one

Liam Strong I always mark bolts for visuals.

It wouldn't hurt to be in the practice of doing all the maintenance and repairs with the field tool kit, so you know it's right for the job once you get out there.

very true but that should be covered in the regular and/or major service.

12.6V, each cell delivers 2.1V when healthy and fully charged. above is just idle voltage after charging, says nothing. check this table: bilder.hifi-forum.de/medium/293610/ladezustand-batterie_4857.gif

12.9 is a common cut-off for discharge. Many batteries "can" go below that, especially deep cycle and non-lead/acid. Pay attention to the battery manufacturer's recommendation on discharge cutoff voltage. Pls note, the lower you go to the absolute minimum, and the more frequently you do, the more risk of failure you invite. Extreme discharges eat away at the service life, as do excessive charges.

Greg Feneis cut-off for discharge ABOVE fully charged idle voltage?

Sorry, I don't understand your question.

Greg Feneis counter question to be sure: what cut off happens at 12.9V? 12.9V is neither a charging voltage nor an operating voltage of a battery under load!

thanks for pointing that out. I'll treat some rubber with it and dip it in salt as a tester

very good point

yep I babbled on a bit after that :D *CUT*

Ahh mate I just thought it was great comedic timing!

probably not needed for my '72 Wagoneer. =)

WTF I was considering bringing 2!!

can you afford to replacing tyres from a town or city up north or down south when you blowout your tyres.. metro prices can totally different to town/city prices in the country yes I know people get away with 2 spares though I err on the side of caution because you can and will blow steer tyres up to twice and rears up to once per trip this is why i recommend a min of 4 spares though i do not discount carrying 6 because you do not want to be play a pissing contest in trying to repair a tyre in the middle 50+c heat.. also note I do not trust the cheap 12/24 volt car pumps, my most can't barely pump up 14-15" tyre I always recommend taking a proper shop style air compressor as a preferred pumping tool any 12/24 volt dc pump you can buy tends to over heat for the application you can use it for because it is not designed for the job you want to use it for and that is pumping your tyres up or deflating them.. if you find that your pump option is getting hot to use ... I don't claim to be a sage, though I so have common sense if you are going to increase the vehicles weight with the mod cons people add to their 4x4's.. though I think working smarter not harder the idea of the day.. since people also like towing things for their offroad lifestyle I cater at a bare min of of 6-8 tyres at the same type of tyreas your tow vehicle as that means you can interchange your tyres.. only going with 2 spares will end up with leaving vehicle in the remote area whilst you source replacement tyres.. take what i say with a grain of salt then again I see a lot grey nomads and back packers ill equipped to handle the australian outback whether they go bush bashing or stick to the tarmacs or unsealed roads of WA or Australia in general dong the bog lap around australia or the actual state they happen to live in...

I've been remote travelling for a long time. 4-6 spares? No wonder you get so many tyre issues with that much extra weight.

Jason howe you must be using shit tyres.

Number 1 tip for women.... don't marry a jerk.

They do very well mate, so far so good. I'll be reducing the weight in the coming year but thats more to do with tyre wear, fuel useage and handling.

Would you recommend them for a Troopy with a constant rear load of 400kg plus? I'm due to replace my suspension and seriously considering the parabolics. Cheers mate

Trent Kreitler Hi Trent, the kit that Ronny has is readily available from many online shops throughout Australia....... A quick google and I found it here aafirstaid.com.au/shop/uncategorised/modular- However, keep in mind that any first aid kit is 10 times better after you have quality first aid training to actually know what to do in an emergency situation. I know this as I run my own First Aid business in South Australia.👍👍 (and no, my business isn't the one in the link I provided above, I don't think it's ethical to push your own business on this channel) Go get yourself a quality first aid kit, and back it up with a first aid course. Cheers, Tim.

I have the same kit. I have used it while on trips and it is very good, easy to use. Wasn't too expensive either.

Thats not on my cruiser, you must have seen Waynes ;)

+Jimmy Obrien haha left it there to see who’d notice

+lakshinder singh yes

I'll keep that in mind for the next videos, just needed something to break up the segments.

+Aj Howell 130+86+86=total of 302

No damage mate

sounds like a bindup, short bursts like that are not too bad but it can add up over time. Next time you feel it do that (from forgetting to unlock 4x4 on concrete or tarmac) try and drop one side of the vehicle on the dirt, it will then help release bindup energy. Keep it on road/hard surface for too long and it will break something.

Ronny Dahl Ok cheers, first time I've done it will keep in mind for later

Also if you were driving in mostly a straight line the binding won't be as bad, it mostly occurs over a reasonable distance or when taking corners are hard surfaces

Midland Auto plus seem pretty good and Torbens takes his cruiser there.

Ronny Dahl Cheers mate, I bought a JEEP, better to be prepared.

+Jianan Li what color? 😉

Ronny Dahl 2014 GC overland, silver. Might be yellow if it’s a lemon lol

+smitthone even better carry 2 1kgs and place them at opposite ends of the vehicle

Dubious he's at a 4x4 Toyota specialist you knob jockey.

The point being?

Pretty sure that lift is rated to hold a lot more weight than that ute.
