For powder based fire extinguishers it is also a good idea to turn them upside down and give them a good shake every so often as the powder can get compacted in the bottom if they are in one position for too long.
Best thing is know you’re vehicle , know it’s weaknesses, prepare accordingly change what are known weak points before they break and carry the removed part as a working spare much better to do this at home than in the bush ,
Hey Ronny , another good show . People lose things , so if you use anything on a trip make sure it is still there when you get home , eg: I found a bottle jack in the middle of nowhere , someone had changed a tyre and left the jack behind . Also washing and cleaning everything is a good way to pick up faults , cracks etc
Another tip if traveling solo , if you break down or get bogged out in bush or desert stay with your vehicle because your vehicle 9 times out of 10 will be found first and you won’t be if your not there .
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.
Ronny, love the way you repeatedly refer to "your mechanic." Another tip is to find a good mechanic and know your limits. Even if one are highly skilled mechanically a second set of eyes is good. In addition, I don't know how many times I have been on a trip where someone does there own work and they say " I thought it was good enough" after it breaks.
Great video and perfect tips! I do long remote journeys on motorcycles myself. Most tips are good for bikes as well. I always recommend these tips before going on a long trip💪
Tyres: Another good reason for having 65% + tread, is for sharp rocks. The more tread, the more depth that a sharp rock has to negotiate before stabbing the tyres casing/belt.
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.
5:24, a multimeter won't tell you "how much power your batteries have." They typically only measure voltage, current, and resistance. You could use one to measure battery voltage, but that only tells you part of the story. A (usually free) proper load test (as mentioned) will tell you approximately how much capacity your batteries have. Just like with tires, if they're 5 years old or older, 2 years or older on the factory battery, you should consider replacing, especially if you run a single battery. When you get a load test, you've got the tested capacity. It's not hard to look up both the battery's rated capacity and the vehicle manufacturer's required capacity. Consider the three values and make your own decision.
Best way to protect pressure pack sprays is to put them inside stubby coolers that have had the bottoms pulled out. They can then bounce about but won’t rub through and leak or break.
Great tips and advise, I had a thought yesterday about the importance of knowing your vehicle, so if you have a breakdown out bush you can diagnose the issue and even fix it. one of the biggest things you need to prepare is yourself. would you agree Ronny?
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.
You might consider using a bright permanent marker of some type to mark a line on some of the major bolts in your suspension. An easy visual inspection would show you if the bolt has backed off due to vibration, or improper torque (not to mention keeping a torque wrench in your vehicle).
Thanks Ronny, sound advise, as always, something I like to do as well is add a good quality injector cleaner to a full tank of fuel like liqimoly, been doing it for ages, seems to help the system
I agree with everything you say with the exception of oil leaks. If you never left home until all of the oil leaks were fixed in a Land Rover, then you would never leave home. I think they are installed as standard equipment. They probably should have a section in the handbook that says "Before starting your vehicle of a morning enshure that oil leaks are at a constant flow, should they have stopped flowing overnight, top up oil levels" Lol. I'm sorry...
Tip one should be passed on to AndrewSPW, as he seems to finish every build hours before he has to leave for wherever... Though it does make for good video of in-field repairs.
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 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!
Tip 1. Seriously...some people...you do it ON the trip. Then you have an obvious excuse for why stops working half way through. "well yeah, I just put it on, of course it stopped working whatda expect?" Tip 2. I did that once thinking I was being smart and ahead of the curve for once...they put in power steering fluid into the brakes...that was fun finding out on the trail. Good thing it was in the 4x4 capitol of the world and I got parts in time to save the trip. I guess the supplier gave them the wrong fluid in for their brake tank.
Hey Ronny! Major fan from Argentina here, I've seen a "wheel winch" out there in the web, have you ever used one? They seem to be awesome and much more easy to install than a regular winch. Cheers!
Watch out with the Innox mate- when it gets on rubber and mixes with salt it causes the rubber to swell and then degrade. I'd just be weary of it on break lines etc
65% tread, if you do multiple trips per year, your talking about replacing tires after 35% use multiple times a year. I always have an opinion about somehting, but over all great vid.
4-6 spares tyres (on rims preferred) getting punctures will be common pending on where you travel.. cost of replacement tyres between country and metro areas can vary in price it is cheaper to buy metro where possible spare shocks and old springs if what is on your vehicle fails you have something fall back too.. this is optional if you can afford it install hydrolic rams as a preferred jacking medium, as there may times where you can not deploy conventional jacking system in certain situations and given the excess weight you are carrying can you afford putting yourself or others out of physical commission when the high lift jack fails.. as for pre trips, I would say allow 1-3 month shake down period because if you are replacing parts it can take longer than 3 weeks for mechanical to be up to scratch.. something to consider on long hauls..- spare bearings and bearing grease
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...
How many cars are there in Western Australia for you to need 8 digits on your license plate? I'm in California, and we have more cars that people in some places, and we still only have 7 digit plates.
Great video Ronny, some really useful tips there. Just wondering, how the parabolics are holding up? I'm guessing there's a fair bit of weight over the rear axle? How do you rate them for carrying a load? Cheers mate
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
How crazy would I be if I attempted the long tracks in wa with a petrol vehicle? I'm building up a l300 for touring australia, and frankly, I can save about 4k just buy building a petrol rig vs buying a crate diesel. Is petrol hard to come by out in remote WA?
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.
Hi Ronny, the Jeep wrangler or sport reliable? And what are the good and bad things about them. Looking forward to hear your thoughts. Regards, Ali (new jeep owner)
Hey mate, just got a question. I was pulling my mate out of a bit of a sand trap in my dads car and had it in 4x4 and managed to pull the car to a concrete road, however forgot to take it out of 4x4 and continued to pull. what possible damage could this have done? The gearstick and clutch pedal also became extremely stiff but was fixed when i restarded the car... any ideas cheers
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.
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
For powder based fire extinguishers it is also a good idea to turn them upside down and give them a good shake every so often as the powder can get compacted in the bottom if they are in one position for too long.
ive been told u turn them upside down and tap them with a rubber mallet.
Yup, that works just don't tap too hard :)
Best thing is know you’re vehicle , know it’s weaknesses, prepare accordingly change what are known weak points before they break and carry the removed part as a working spare much better to do this at home than in the bush ,
Your much better off to know you're vehicle ;-)

Still got the floss on the winch
Maybe I missed it, but check your recovery points and the mounting hardware.
Take your spare key with you.
yes take a spare key, great advice
I have one permanently hidden securely on my vehicle just in case
So glad you left the string on the winch to remind us of what a brave girl you have.
handy tip for jeeps, before a long trip bring it in for service and leave it there. then go hertz and rent literally anything else. ;)
Get off your high tower!

These videos are actually helpful and are just basic/to the point
Thanks mate for all the great information . Always enjoy watching your vids mate👍🏻
Thanks for getting me thinking about my vehicle. Really look forward to the rest of the videos.
Just planning our trip from Perth to Adelaide! Handy tipps and a Great way doing your videos! Awesome 👏🏻 go on!
Great tips and advise, I had a thought yesterday about the importance of knowing your vehicle, so if you have a breakdown out bush you can diagnose the issue and even fix it. one of the biggest things you need to prepare is yourself. would you agree Ronny?

Hi Ronny 👋🏼 Great video again!
beautiful offroad.
You might consider using a bright permanent marker of some type to mark a line on some of the major bolts in your suspension. An easy visual inspection would show you if the bolt has backed off due to vibration, or improper torque (not to mention keeping a torque wrench in your vehicle).
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.
Thanks Ronny, sound advise, as always, something I like to do as well is add a good quality injector cleaner to a full tank of fuel like liqimoly, been doing it for ages, seems to help the system
I agree with everything you say with the exception of oil leaks. If you never left home until all of the oil leaks were fixed in a Land Rover, then you would never leave home. I think they are installed as standard equipment. They probably should have a section in the handbook that says "Before starting your vehicle of a morning enshure that oil leaks are at a constant flow, should they have stopped flowing overnight, top up oil levels" Lol. I'm sorry...
Fuel tank puncture repair kit would be important I think
Tip one should be passed on to AndrewSPW, as he seems to finish every build hours before he has to leave for wherever... Though it does make for good video of in-field repairs.
#1 tip for long remote trip. Lots of snacks.
Tip #1....thinking of Andrew White and his entirely brand new build finished literally days before he tackled the Canning Stock Route haha
what an entrance! you crack me up ronny, im still waiting for the drop bear entrance
Great video.
Only comment....battery at rest should be about 12.7v
At 12.0v its dead.
Would change if under 12.5v
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

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!
If you have a treaded axel, you can change bushings on the trail...
Great Video Ronny 👌🏻
good coverage Ronny
You stated the importance of filling your washer fluid,but did not say to replace worn wiper blades.
very true but that should be covered in the regular and/or major service.
Tip 1. Seriously...some people...you do it ON the trip. Then you have an obvious excuse for why stops working half way through. "well yeah, I just put it on, of course it stopped working whatda expect?"
Tip 2. I did that once thinking I was being smart and ahead of the curve for once...they put in power steering fluid into the brakes...that was fun finding out on the trail. Good thing it was in the 4x4 capitol of the world and I got parts in time to save the trip. I guess the supplier gave them the wrong fluid in for their brake tank.
as most parts are imported now it would be wise to get it booked in months in advance to allow for shipping of said parts
Hey Ronny! Major fan from Argentina here, I've seen a "wheel winch" out there in the web, have you ever used one? They seem to be awesome and much more easy to install than a regular winch. Cheers!
Hi Ronny pleas can you do one of these video with Andrew stpear white also would love to know how to pick a 4x4 for overland
Good advices Ronny
Watch out with the Innox mate- when it gets on rubber and mixes with salt it causes the rubber to swell and then degrade. I'd just be weary of it on break lines etc
thanks for pointing that out. I'll treat some rubber with it and dip it in salt as a tester
Great Tips there mate.
Dude, the beard is getting overgrown. I love your videos.
Number 1 tip for a long trip....leave the wife and kids at home 😉
Number 1 tip for women.... don't marry a jerk.
I have the complete service manual for my Jeep TJ on my cellphone. If you can get one, buy it.
65% tread, if you do multiple trips per year, your talking about replacing tires after 35% use multiple times a year.
I always have an opinion about somehting, but over all great vid.
Month before for major service....can take over a week for parts in places like Darwin!
very good point
Just wondering if you could do modified episode on little suzuki sierra again
Very good advice
Lol... you have just freaked out all the Defender owners.
Fix all oil leaks... ha ha ha
4-6 spares tyres (on rims preferred) getting punctures will be common pending on where you travel.. cost of replacement tyres between country and metro areas can vary in price it is cheaper to buy metro where possible
spare shocks and old springs if what is on your vehicle fails you have something fall back too..
this is optional if you can afford it install hydrolic rams as a preferred jacking medium, as there may times where you can not deploy conventional jacking system in certain situations and given the excess weight you are carrying can you afford putting yourself or others out of physical commission when the high lift jack fails..
as for pre trips, I would say allow 1-3 month shake down period because if you are replacing parts it can take longer than 3 weeks for mechanical to be up to scratch..
something to consider on long hauls..-
spare bearings and bearing grease
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.
Nice....! I see you forgot to remove the string from your winch line from your daughters tooth extraction.
Some good tips 👌
scan your car for any fault codes rectify them asap and carry an OBII scanner with you on your trip :)
probably not needed for my '72 Wagoneer. =)
ah molnar hoist is that in you garage mr dahl or the service mechanic's ?
is that a tooth hanging on that piece of rope ?
How many cars are there in Western Australia for you to need 8 digits on your license plate? I'm in California, and we have more cars that people in some places, and we still only have 7 digit plates.
Great video Ronny, some really useful tips there. Just wondering, how the parabolics are holding up? I'm guessing there's a fair bit of weight over the rear axle? How do you rate them for carrying a load?
Cheers mate
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
Toyota Fortuner modified episode!
LMAO! 1:17 "Happened to myself-"*QUICK CUT*
yep I babbled on a bit after that :D *CUT*
Ahh mate I just thought it was great comedic timing!
Good advice
Hey Ronny, I saw you installed a pair of livid lights on your rig. What are they like so far?
Thats not on my cruiser, you must have seen Waynes ;)
How crazy would I be if I attempted the long tracks in wa with a petrol vehicle? I'm building up a l300 for touring australia, and frankly, I can save about 4k just buy building a petrol rig vs buying a crate diesel. Is petrol hard to come by out in remote WA?
Breaker breaker is only really an American thing used to interrupt a conversation. Just ask for a radio check and use your manners.
Does anyone know what brand of first aid kit Ronnie showed? I really like the way it was laid out.
Trent Kreitler

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.
are those snake racing shackles? just wanted to confirm.
+lakshinder singh yes
Still got floss on the winch 😂
+Jimmy Obrien haha left it there to see who’d notice
OK. Ronny, the wosh wosh thing pretty annoying. Your Chanel was perfect. Why change it?
I'll keep that in mind for the next videos, just needed something to break up the segments.
Ronny, Inox MX3 is great but is know to harden rubber with prolonged exposure. WD40 is a much better choice for engine bays and suspension components.
Hi Ronny, the Jeep wrangler or sport reliable? And what are the good and bad things about them. Looking forward to hear your thoughts. Regards, Ali (new jeep owner)
what size fuel tanks are you running?
+Aj Howell 130+86+86=total of 302
Hey mate, just got a question. I was pulling my mate out of a bit of a sand trap in my dads car and had it in 4x4 and managed to pull the car to a concrete road, however forgot to take it out of 4x4 and continued to pull. what possible damage could this have done? The gearstick and clutch pedal also became extremely stiff but was fixed when i restarded the car... any ideas cheers
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
26th!
Guys any accountable mechanic in Perth to recommend?
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
Speaking of expedition vehicles, of these two, which is the best?
ruclips.net/video/iGGKRzK9-H4/видео.html
mmmh...i kg fire extinguisher is next to nothing...better 2kg.
+smitthone even better carry 2 1kgs and place them at opposite ends of the vehicle
That lift looks weak and I would not stand under the vehicle
Looks like its made for much smaller/lighter cars
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.
