+AllOffroad.com.au Awesome track and video! We've marked it as a future destination, this weekend we're off to Lithgow thanks to another one of your videos!
Awesome vid, well done! Just some advice on tyre pressures with 37's and bead locks from my personal experiences... I run 12psi in the rear tyres and 14psi in the front. Reason for the difference in pressure from front to rear is I want to maintain some steering feel in the front. The 2psi difference works for me. I hope that helps... But play around with the pressures and you will find out what works for you and tiny. Again, well done on the purchase.
+rpmwrx hi, I usually run it the other way around slightly higher in the back as on steep uphill sections weight on rear tyres/axle etc increases quite a bit. 12-14 PSI sounds good that was around what I had in mind for next trip. Used to run 15 on 35" with KM2 and 13 with Simex
+AllOffroad.com.au I run bias ply sticky Treps on harder trips and need higher pressures in the front to maintain steering feel. If you've driven on Treps before then you'd understand my logic, but I can certainly understand where your coming from. A set of Treps will look killer on Tiny :)
+AllOffroad.com.au You should get a few years out of a set, but to be honest I don't really care because the benefits offroad far out way the replacement costs. Treps are physically a very heavy tyre and because of the insane level of grip, you need to be wary of the likelihood of increased driveline breakages. I don't know how strong the portals are, but it's also something else to consider.
No Bob I would love to go out with these guys that landy is one of the best road rego rigs around and as a Nav in tuff truck and the Out back challenge for many years I run a outlaw class rock crawler so I know a bit about picking a line
+kingkazik I think at the end Pavlo was running 20 psi, my recommended tyre pressure for him was 15PSI. The Patrol steel rims seem to have issues with popping a bead I know a few guys with Patrols who won't go low because of that reason
I would not buy a 3l, but otherwise I think it's a good touring truck (with the 4.2 engin) they are big though and in my opinion need at least a 4" lift and 35" as the approach and departure angle is pretty average. They also need crawler gears as otherwise the gear is not suited for 35" and low range work and will burn out clutches quickly
Out of all the fellas on Australian RUclips that short defender is by far the most capable
thanks for the trip Stefan and the footage! 85% reduction gears going on to the patrol this week :)
+Pavlo Hanna awesome, that will make a big difference
+AllOffroad.com.au and heaps less psi
+Jordan McHugh indeed, as mentioned on the day I would start with 15PSI, but it seems like the Patrol steelies pop a bead quite easily

That 110 is just beautiful.
Yes John's Defender is a great tough truck...
Great video Stefan...! 👍
I luv’d the way black JK guy & white Patrol guy gave it such a big go....!!!
Wonderfull...I love it

+rpmwrx Treps are actually my next planed tyres :-) how do you go with them driving to the wheeling spots, how long do they last you?

That landy a great rig use the rear steer move it great fun when you get the hang of it and find someone good to do the spotting that guy hopeless
don't like my spotting? feel free to come along and do some spotting always can do with a good spotter...
You dont live in Fennell Bay do you Shane???

What tyre pressure was the patrol running in the end? Looks like he could have dropped another 5psi at least

Hi Stefan! Just wondering, what is the advantage/purpose of running the radiator in the back?
+josieladybird no issues with it getting clogged up with mud
+AllOffroad.com.au Makes sense!
Do the 4 door JK Jeeps come with 7 seats?? I need a capable 4WD with 7 seats that can double as a Daily Shopping Trolly. No Mitsubishi's
dont think so, try a Discovery 4
How are the 3.0 TD Patrol's??? I know they are prone to burning out engines but how are they as a daily cruiser and weekend warrior???

AllOffroad 4x4 Adventures TV I like to join your 4/4
I like to join your team
we just a group of likeminded friends mate
The Patrol GU need a new driver.
Someone needs to smack a L plate on the back of that patrol before Nissan takes action
If your going to hold the camera then don't spot.
yes that would be ideal not always possible unfortunately ....
