Note to Jimmy: nice spot!
Is little red a series 2 or 3? Send my love to Courtney ❤. Hugs bruv
Absolutely beautiful work mate. Love it. But I see you have a stock standard Land Rover hand brake (the rock under the wheel) hahahahahahaha.
Muy Hermosos y lindos paisajes!!.🤗🥰
🎵 When your drivin' all day Ain't seen nothing but hay Spokane (Spo-caine) 'What did you say boy?' 🎶 ruclips.net/video/He72WysJZSQ/видео.htmlfeature=shared
47:26 hey mate I'm really interested in building one of the 101 ambulances ,do you think you can get a twin alternator system to charge batteries up better .good luck with journey ,take care
I do, and it should..! I think there is a problem with my Victron Orion at the moment...
@@the_nomadic_mechanic there's two companies I no of in the USA which start with adrenaline ,one of themselves just built ,restored a pinzgauer ,they put turbo on and a twin alternator kit ,seemed ok ,how's your turbo coming along ,
You should definitely go to Glacier when you get a chance!
Love your videos not a huge fan of tourist traps your truck was built for off-road any compact car can go to Yellowstone I agree when in the woods you should have bear spray I don't know if you can carry a shotgun or not? Anyways keep rolling and having fun looking forward to your next video cheers
Need to adjust the angle of the front diff to the driveshaft coming from the transfer box to avoid a lot of future problems. Rear looks really cool and the middle section. Its not hard to reweld the entire front drivetrain to reattach it at the right angle for such high jacked front. But its critical and it would still work better that way even if lowered to a normal suspension specifications
Hi. I think we just crossed each other in the Yellowstone … unless there is someone in a same vehicle 😃. Greetings, Ernst & Jiew PS: Suscribed
Toats amazeballs as per bruv.
Such waste of the huge space
Están muy super interesante tus viajes. Te felicito!!🥳😎. También, seria muy genial, que grabes mas el viaje durante la carretera. A la gente y a la audiencia, les gusta mirar el paisaje y la carretera mientras conduces!!. Seria lindo también, grabaras conduciendo de mañana, al atardecer y de noche!. 🤗🥰. Hermoso canal y hermosos viaje.!!😚☺.
Great video again Ben, what camera(s) are you using out of interest? All the best & safe travelling!
Hammering the yokes seems like your gonna deform or bend them introducing wobble and have the new ujoints get loose sooner. We just use a large "C" clamp and gently push it out with the right size sockets.
Congratulations! What country are you originally from? I enjoyed seeing the ceremony.
I love your videos. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Glad you like them!
Not sure if you made it to the Tetons yet, but good disbursed camping off of Grassy Lake Road. It’s between Teton NP and Yellowstone.
Perfect… thanks… was just looking at Sheffield but see it only has 5 spaces… Grassy lake rd would be perfect as I’m into Yell Sunday.
I love watching your Channel I know you're a mechanic but still it's great
I love watching your Channel I know you're a mechanic but it's still great when you talk about changing a head gasket like other people talk about changing a tire😂 keep rolling looking forward to your next video
The Flaming Gorge area is beautiful area. Ashley National Forest has tons of free spots to camp. I’ve actually been to the survey marker to the Wyoming, Colorado, Utah state boundaries. I have overheated many times around the Flaming Gorge area. Nothing wrong with Alice In Chains. If Winchester likes it then by all means listen to it. The horse flies are bad where we’re at in Montana at the moment. We’ll be heading south down to Fort Bridger, Wyoming by Labor Day weekend. Enjoyed the video. Safest of travels to ya!
Cliffhanger episode! Beautiful country. Some nice timelapse shots too.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! Good work, both of you!
Not lost, it’s an adventure.
What hwy was that going over independence pass? Thanks

Great time lapse
Great video when you're doing your commentary it's great to see the road in front of you
Beautiful truck build definitely a labor of love I love your idea of an improv baseball game LOL
Don't forget Black Bear Pass (if it is open yet).. Now, that would be a record I believe.. I went down it in a highly modified Dodge 2500... The switchbacks were not much fun at all... ;).
Nice video and entertaining
Just wondering around.
Congrats!!!!
Congrats on citizenship! Safe travels.
Awesome! Look at you, red white and blue! Good to see you at the aprés-beers. Congrats on a big milestone... And a big relief I imagine. Looking forward to the next adventure episode. Onward!
Congratulations!
Good stuff! Brother you sure well.
cool build - what do you think is themes reliable Land Rover engine? and the pinzgauers meant to be even better - whats your mechanical opinion? ps portal axels be cool on this
Tdi is the most simplest and reliable for bush fixing if need be, I think.. TD5 the best for performance nowadays with aftermarket stuff available.. don't know much about Pinz.... Portal's are amazing... Winchester's tall enough though...!
@@the_nomadic_mechanic its tall but not got that underneath clearance yet - like the heating and hot water system is that the glycol drive heat up tanks and heated floor as drive - also like the solar when battery's full heat up heating element in water tank .
Spectacular scenery. Looks amazing. Would love a photography trip around there
It really is Brother 👍🏻
Avenue Of The Giants, northern California?
Redwood State Forest.. same place i think?
It was absolutely great meeting you!! I hope you had a blast visiting Colorado.
Another Washington rig =)
Come back to our side of the mountain. Hwy 285, less traffic, good food, friendly people. Or towards South Park might be a nice ride.
Good video! Had my mouth watering for that steak you lucky bugger.
Great video, respect. 80 years. On the 80th Anniversary of D-Day Humanity once more is under threat, when eighty years ago a Western front was opened up at Normandy to get another foot in Europe’s door, then hunt down fascists who for years ruled France’s roost, inflicting death and terror on the folk across an entire continent. It loosed a beast that smashed the occupier’s yoke. Five D-Day beaches ran with Allied blood, as bullets, mines and mortars took their toll. No gun emplacements stemmed the potent flood of liberation, fought for, heart and soul. Let’s celebrate the freedoms which that day bestowed on us, and keep them, come what may. By Paul Freeman.
Absolutely beautiful. Well done that man! Front and centre for medals.
great build however your kickdown cable may be too tight as it seems to be going down gears too early ! slacken off slightly. could you say more about the set up etc , like mpg or revs at 60 mph .i have a 109 forward control camper with a holden straight six [ 3300 cc ] in australia so i can compare
subbed! im an ase master, been doing cars and light trucks for a decade. im a couple months away from a completed van and i am going to be a nomad mechanic....just like you. definitely gonna watch all your content to see what i need to do!!!
Thanks, very appreciated. Hope the build goes well 👍🏻
Buena Vista to Gunnisson to Lake city to Ouray or Leadville to Aspen ?
Fibark is on to tonight in Salida. Stop and have a beer and music in the park.
I ended up spending Friday and Saturday there… was lots of fun..👍🏻
‘Need to lose weight’… ‘LAGER🍺’
Editing? No, no, it's eggs you need to work on! :) Great to see the adventure begin. Cool to see the (very flat!) landscapes. Travel on.
Working on it!
