    Not much of a car guy, but good to see the whole family. Crazy how much the kids have grown, feels like just last year you announced your first.

      @@LifeofMikeOfficial believe me, I get it. Mine is 8 now. I like to say it feels like she was born yesterday, has been in my life for 20 years, and is only 8. Time gets weird with kids around. Lol

    I was surprised that you sold the campervan. With all the features and amenities, it seemed perfect for family adventures. Watching how the renovation of the Defender turns out will be educational. Good luck.

    Good job selling the camper van and great choice for a replacement! Camper vans just tie you down. Thanks for sharing and thanks for your hard work!

    Land Rover's biggest mistake was not galvanizing chassis and bulkheads from the factory.

      A questi veicoli non viene dato manco il fondo sul telaio una cosa ridicola. Praticamente dopo manco sei mesi ti ritrovi tutto il veicolo una gruviera di ruggine

    Funny story about the gloves! I got a new Toyota Tundra last year and had a rattling in the steering wheel. Found the tip of a grease pencil in there!

    Great video. Loads of useful info ... I will definitely be going for Dinitrol instead of Lanoguard for my vehicle.

    it needs Blasting,primed,stone chipped,its a lot better and will last years I wouldn't ever put that stuff on my older landrovers it's horrible stuff, to do it 100% right you need to take the shocks off,the axles off the plastic trays off if it has any,it's a lot more expensive my way but I prefer it

    • @cpzmelbs
      @cpzmelbs 11 месяцев назад

      Whys it horrible?
      Yeah depending on the existing substrate, blasting is an excelent option for chassis and suspension before a coating. Any blasting medium stuck in small crevices can come back and bits you big time !
      Im ready to go if you're offering 😂
      What undercoating do you prefer
