Tyler as you probably know, check your front wheel bearings regularly. For anyone that doesn't know how, get the wheel off the ground, 1 hand top of tyre, 1 hand bottom and use a push/pull technique to see if there's any bearing play. If so tighten bearings as Tyler's mechanic has shown.
Love these mechanical vids to show the good, bad and ugly of 4x4 use and keeping the vehicles upto spec and well serviced. Your mechanics mate are sensational and so accomodating! Good blokes and know their stuff. Stay safe and cannot wait for your next trip!
Nice one Tyler.👍 Greasing bearings is definitely a messy job. Apart from what you already mentioned that you'll bring for parts and tools for any potential wheel hub bush repairs, I also highly recommend, getting the Gregory's or Haynes repair manual. That way you have a step by step reference on any repairs. Extremely handy when unfamiliar on what to remove or loosen etc.
We missed your show that didn't upload last week Tyler, YT Malfunction 😢..... Still getting over it.....lol, as it's the first thing we do on a Sunday morning 😀 Love all your content 🤗
Was awsome to meet you and Demi at sydney show,bloody great to see your not into a pissing contest and sticking to what you love. Ya dads a top bloke to,maybe start his own youtube mux channel. lol
A new option for 35s without excessive unsprung weight is a 255/85R17 (34.6" x 10.0"). Same diameter as a 315/75R16 or 315/70R17 and fit the factory GU 17 x 8 wheels.
Great Vid mate So Lucky they let you shoot the content. Its one thing I've been lucky to know how to trouble shoot and do all my own repairs and maintenance on the Rig and another to do it on the track.
Nothing new to me in the working on hubs and axles, because I've got a Navara lol ;) Changing cv's and halfshafts is a ticket to Navlife. But this is great learning experience stuff for a lot of your viewers and it's really great for them to be able to see and learn how this stuff works. Not everyone has been wheeling 4wd's for ages so there's always a new group who really doesn't know how all the stuff works under their car. Great of them to let you film and take the time to explain. There was nothing wrong with the rubber that was on it, but hey, if they're giving you a deal or you've got a use or a buyer for the old ones... Plus, yeah, content creator and sponsors and stuff. I'd be wearing that stuff down to 3mm. Stiff sidewalls are great for some reasons and utterly useless for others. Everything is a compromise which is why I don't run 10 ply LT stuff.
Another informative video. The S&P lads seem like great fellas. Explain things in laymens terms. And all the things for the real world we need to know. To let you have a go so you were able to learn to was good of them. Cant wait to see your beast back on the tracks.
Cannot believe you've had the patrol 6 months already or that you've managed to put so much wear on those wheels. Guess the driveline gives you the confidence in the Patrol to push a little harder than you used to in the Nav.
Tyler reminded me of myself when I packed my first wheel bearing set. I had more grease on my hands than in the bearing, and throughout thinking if I was doing it right.😁
Pack your bearings at home, then vacuum seal them along with a bit of extra grease. A lot easier and faster then trying to do them on the tracks covered in mud in the dark.
Always good to get new gear on our 4wdrives, great that your mechanics let you film & were very helpful and informative, yeah I’m getting the maxxis razors next on my 4wd
Good stuff Tyler. Won't be long before your a mechanic. With your wheel bearings try a dollop of grease and the bearing in a zip lock bag and squeeze away just like you did. Not so messy!
Great video. I’m loving the mechanical videos of yours. 5 stars!!! Do you think you’ll hit the tracks with a couple of the mechanics for an overnighter? Assuming some of them own 4wds. They’re good in front of the camera which doesn’t come easy for most.
im running goodyear wrangler duratracs on both of my 4wds. been running them a few years and around 50,000kms(maybe another 30,000km left on them) on my zuk which is my main offroader and just took my courier out yesterday with new ones on and she did an amazing job crawling up shale rock hill climbs, sand and bog holes. the tyres are a real aggressive all terrain. love them and will run them again. great grip, great tyre life and look awesome. i havnt had any punctures, they arnt too loud on road either. cost $1200 for a set of 4 in 31". would definitly recommend.
Funny thing back in my skating day! NSK bearings were the best. Cost more for sealed bearings. And I still have a whole box of them plus the bearing press. Haha
Yes mate excellent…my zd190rwkw d22 nav smash’s hubs…not cvs +not diffs…I have extended bump stops to reduce down travel to save cvs as well-yet to break one👍and upgraded front diff r200
Another good video Tyler. I bet that was an expensive week, 8new tyres, 2 brake upgrade kits and more. Unfortunately I couldn't make it to Sydney this weekend which I'm bummed about. Keep up the great work mate.
Love the down to earth mechanic, I've just done my bearings and it's a messy job. If you get the chance to film the swivel hub being serviced that'd be great too. I broke some teeth off my free wheeling hub and it was due to the knob gradually turning from 'lock' to 'free' as driving. If the hub knob turns to easily (to much lube inside it) that may be the cause. I had to tape my hub in the lock position to finish track. Marty from Perth
Another great vid Tyler! I have the same AT you have put on the Navarra, I love them so far, think you will too. Great for touring, agressive tread but still quiet.
I have a family member who takes care of the fleet vehicles for a mine & he’s only used Maxxis for years & years. He flicked me a set of Bighorns for free as a Xmas present nearly a decade ago & they were great.
Hey mate, next time, tighten up the bearings, then tap the wheel at the top and bottom a few times then recheck. The first time you go offroad those bearings will be loose the way you did it
Most important feature of braided brake lines, is they stop the hoses from expanding when the booster is adding more pressure to the system, giving you more power at the caliper & more feel. Oh Tyler! You forgot the most important repair!! New Toyota badges to replace the Nissan ones!!!
Really? When the pedal is pressed down, it activates the booster, to "boost" the pressure from 0 bars (atmospheric pressure). So it is "adding" pressure to the system. Hoses being rubber will expand from the increased pressure. Braided hoses have a steel braid sleeve around the hose to stop the hose expanding, letting all the pressure to be directed to the caliper. Satisfied?
Hey mate that paint should come up alright with a paint correction and a good ceramic coat like modesta or quartzUK ceramic coat will minimise scratches in the future
I'm struggling to get the Money just for my tyres 😳, living the good life🎉. Looking REALLY forward to seeing the nav again! Gq will be interesting to see perform too 👍
for that price id be asking the new RAZR's there theold version the new ones have better side walls you can tell because new version have more tred pattern on the side walls between lugs and they have an M on them for mining rated the old ones are great too im running them
I'm running maxxis razr 35's on my gu, seem to be wearing really well, I reckon I'll do 60k km easy, my old km3 were toast after 40k though they were 33's

@@jarrod1687 best I got on yhe hwy was 18lph. But generally I'm around 20lph and low range in the high country I'd be a bit higher than that depending how excited I get.

Personally I believe a turbo barra would be sick in qld on the beaches but maybe not so suited to vic high country work but thats just a generalised view.
Great vid Tyler. I recently showed my son how to pack bearings by hand. Sorry to say mate, but he was much better at his 1st attempt than yours! Maybe you should be blaming the instructor 😎
These mechanics are legends for letting you film, they could dead set start up their own channel.

You got yourself a very good honest mechanic there by the looks of it Tyler .
Thanks for commenting on Ronnie's roof racks, 'cos that's how I got here and am enjoying your channel. Cheers mate
That thing with the hammer, that looks like pure science!
So cool that the boys let you into the shop to film the footage so cool to watch!
Awesome mate, was a pleasure to meet you on the weekend and check out the rigs in their glory ! keep up the great work :)

Make sure those hubs are torqued up nicely. He said they don't need to be super tight, but they kinda do, they aren't keyed, they need to be tight
Love how the mechanic is choking the hammer and Tyler comes in and holds it properly

Why replace the bearings if there is nothing wrong with them, re pack them and put them back in and spend the dollars else where!
