▂▃▄▅▆▇█▓▒░Thank You░▒▓█▇▆▅▄▃▂
I really like your videos, they brought me further about my setup, what I m going to do on my newly bought Defender, but more than that I like your english presentation. Merci beaucoup & Grüzi Wohl
Best water system! You set the benchmark for water system in overland vehicles. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Stay tuned for the hot water system install 👍
Good addition, helpful knowing talented fabricators.
Very helpful and enjoyable 👍
Excellent modifications this one I want the same for my 110 now 🍻
Haha 😁 we're very happy. Will soon test everything offroad
Your Landy is coming on, it's looking awesome. Can't wait for the other amazing inspirations. Thanks for sharing 👋🤗❤🇿🇦
Installations😂
Thanks for your kind message! Also very happy how the rebuild is going, lots of time and effort and great to finally see the end to free our minds 😅. Hot water and filtration should be the last big job
Very pretty, wouldn't last where i am at, rocks would drain them pretty quick,
Ottimo lavoro, veramente professionale, se può essere utile come consiglio, ritengo che i tappi con serratura sono un'ottima soluzione, però non ha senso che il tubo collegato dietro sia così facilmente raggiungibile 🤷🏻♂️, io gli salderei una piccola paratia dello stesso materiale dei serbatoi, così da riservarne il tubo flessibile che è la parte più delicata.
Complimenti siete di ottimo spunto per chi pensa, come me alla camperizzazione 😉
Thanks! Will see how it goes without any protection, do think it should be fine. Happy if you find any inspiration for your build 👍🏼
Excellent great looking tanks your rig is looking amazing
Thank you !
Small garage work always seems to have more attention to little details than the large mass production factories. The only things I can think of is did you get a list of the parts used in case you need to replace a part. Definitely a good idea just no rock climbing!
I do think it depends on the craftsman as we had really bad experiences regarding the storage box on the side of the body and a transfer case rebuild. This time top notch! As we were there and help during all the install we know all of it 👍🏼
These would be ideal for our 88 110 but the drive to the Nederland's from here in South Dakota is prohibitive...
A little far, for sure !
Next mod. LS3&Transmission?
👍👍👍
👍🙌
They look amazing.. Looking forward to hearing how they get on?. Hotwater install video incoming?
Looking forward testing them and sharing all that. Yes water heater is next ;)
Best set up, keeping heavy weight as low as possible while protected by the chassis and clever design did it make much difference to fuel consumption on return journey when full?
Defenders are shaped like bricks 😅 an extra few % of spring weight won’t make any measurable difference.
We like them and look forward using water system and see how all performs. Didn't see any difference in fuel
The Tanks are outside the car - what about below zero temperatures? How did you manage the heating of the tanks?
We haven’t found yet a reliable solution for really cold temps. Will research more when all the water system is finished
Truely nice workmanship, however the tanks in that location looks too exposed in my opinion. Perhaps in Europe the risk is less than African or Australian tracks?
The tanks are above the chassis. It looks deceptive on camera.
But iirc if you draw a straight line from the slider to the chassis you won’t hit the water tank.
So the only way you are going to hit them is if you go rock hopping on some crazy tracks, and if then you are unlikely to crack one, let alone both…
The weight distribution alone makes it worth the risk imo.
Happy with tanks and we don't feel they are so much exposed as design isn't square. We don't do reckless offroading. Mountain rocky tracks around Europe can be tough. We certainly could get in a difficult track but will only see then what would happen.
How are the water tanks working for you? How long did it take for them to install? Love your channel!
Thanks! Few days of install at the craftsman workshop. We just finished the complete water system and haven’t yet tested them off-road and off-grid but very soon :)
I don't know the construction of the tank, but I would have thought double skin would be a good choice, looking at many Overland expo written in years gone by, you would be ok, but pushing the boundaries, as exploring, seems to Go in modern life, you could be deprived of a cuppa T, especially if a tank was holed,🤔
Will see when out there but should be all good. For comparison we have our long range fuel tank on since 2018 and only noticed a tiny bent few weeks ago.
would like to see all the welding seams from the inside of the tanks
?
I think what silver surfer is saying is that the tanks should be purged with an inert gas to prevent oxidation that would cause cavities that could harbour bacteria. All hygienic stainless steel pipework is purged before welding for this reason.
Find new two items ( Armrest & storage boxes chassis )
Nice!
C'est une belle réalisation mais à quel prix? Juste un détail qui me chiffonne y a t - il un bouchon de vidange dans vos réservoirs ? Est ce vraiment bien utile d'avoir autant d'eau car 110 litres ça commence à faire du volume , sans compter le poids que ça engendre (eau + 2 réservoirs inox + les divers accessoires) même si c'est en partie basse du véhicule. Dans mon Def j'ai juste 70 litres ( pour 2 personnes) dans un réservoir translucide , on tient plus de la semaine bien entendu en faisant attention au gaspillage. Pour du baroud sur les pistes parfois difficiles , tôle ondulée, le sable, les dunes , je pense qu'il vaut mieux éviter les aménagements trop complexes (sources à ennuis) , trop lourds (ennemis du tout terrain) , bien entendu c'est suivant votre programme de sortie. Merci pour le partage, belle chaîne.
Tout peut se questionner, effectivement, mais dans ce cas il n y a rien de nécessaire car en réalité nous pouvons faire sans... sans eau, sans tente, sans système électrique auxiliaire, sans 4x4. Il s agit donc tout simplement de choix personels selon l experience et les envies de chacun. Vous dites avoir 70l pour 2, nous avions précédemment 60l pour 4. Oui, il est possible de les vidanger 👍. Le but est d être le plus autonome possible. Au vue de nos projets ces 110l (incluant notre eau potable) seront très utiles et d'expérience ils n encombreront certainement en rien les difficultés en tt.
Quelle capacité les réservoirs ?
50-55 litres + 60-65 litres 👍
no hard trail for you now.
Will test out soon on an off-road park so will see ;)
