#7, I also keep the windows closed on muddy terrain. So when I get home I dont neet to clean the back seats neither the roof inside the truck! ;)
An addition to number 10 (radio location). I have mine mounted so I don't have to remove it from its mount to talk. It keeps you from fumbling around, especially when replacing the mic. I also use a product called 'magnetic mic'. The mic or the hand held is kept in place by a strong magnet. It makes it really easy to put back into place compared with the normal 'clips'. You don't have to take your eyes off the road when replacing the mic.
I really appreciate your tips and wisdom shared from all your adventures - and I enjoy watching your adventures too! I also like your daggy sense of humour. Thanks.
Also a handy tip, when driving through water that is around door height. all windows up turn on your fan and use recirculating air. this will suck the door seals in creating a vacuum seal and stop water from seeping in.
+Ronny Dahl I always crack my window open about 5 cm to hear the vehicle engine better and listen for debris caught under the chassis. Great video as always.
+InMused I tend to do the same most of the time. Good point to bring up
Thanks for the tips Ronny!
Greatly appreciate the advises. Practical one from first hand. Always good way to learn things. Very helpful for me ( as a novice in off-road ) and think for other newbies. Well done. Excellent channel.
Another helpful video thanks mate!!
Love the videos ronny
Great video mate, learned a lot from this channel.
Love the video! Great job
Good tips Ronny. I also change the angle of the seat back, climbing or terrain which rocks the vehicle a lot I put the seat back in a more upright position, helps lock you in place better esp. With the seat belt.
Great tips. Much appreciated.
Great video.... Enjoyed it :)
I watched 4 of your videos and i sub....very nice
Hey from Canada. Like your videos and info you provide. Thanks
cheers for the Jandal reference for Kiwi’s!! 👌🏼 Good to know we are accounted for 😝
You should do a video on solo trip tips, love the channel btw!
Great videos as always :)
when you go in the water, windows down and no belts. Hello.
agree, specifically during deep water crossings. Saves the precious time if required (god forbid).
friend that was excellent... especially 1,2,3,4 jajajajavery good. thanks for the tips
want to see a video how you prepare for an off road trip. what gear and food you bring with you ++
+Bjørn Tobias Larsen this one is to come.
You're right about me not thinking about the dimmer. It would never offer to me while talking about it, although I did dim my dash lights would of the way the one time I've been off road at night. Didn't have to think about all that much: just figured it would help, and it did.
Great tips!
I keep a poncho liner(light packable quilted blanket) stuffed under my drivers seat to protect from any water bottles/objects coming forward while driving. I pull it out to cover precious cargo for privacy, so it has a use besides emergencies.
I hurt my wrist/thumb today, I think you explained why. I was uphilling and my taco wheel bucked hard on me. I think my thumb got torqued! Thanks for that pointer!
Tons of great advice and great work from you and your crew. Two thumbs up.
+Salty Diarrhea cheers mate, appreciate your feedback and extra tips
gday bud ... been following ya , cheers for the tip.. heading off on holland track end of month
have fun its a 100% must tick off the list track for W.A. May I strongly suggest checking out the Woodline while you are out there...
Hi Ron, Greetings from Maryland, the land of pleasant living. I just discovered your videos today and really enjoyed them. I dont know if you had mentioned any suggestions that I plan to suggest. Where I live the terrain has a variety of changes to clay steep hills and in Western, some rock climbing. In the mid 80's, I was driving a 1972 Chevrolet Blazer K-5 with a 4 inch lift. Which was a little too much for the front at the time. So there was always a spare front drive shaft as the angle on the front was to sharp and would tear up u-joints. Out in the mud, it is earlier to just change the driveshaft than u-joints. There would always be a hi-lift jack to lift the truck up and then push the truck sideways over the the rock or whatever your problem may be. Also tire spoons can always be nice as well as an 8 foot pry bar.
Sorry if I took to much time. Please let me know you you need any hard to find parts. Regards Scott
I know it's a year old but just watched and this is very good. As fa as seat belt laws in the USA most states it is mandatory, but many like here in Florida the police can't pull you over for not wearing a seat belt they can only stop you for something else then fine you for no belt. I did break a thumb once when I had a Toyota FJ40 I will never hold the wheel wrong again
Comment on tip number 10 ,Radios. I mounted my VHF radio in the glove compartment. The reason I did is to basally keep it hidden and out of the way. Haven’t had any problems yet, works quite well!
Seatbelt use here in the USA is pretty much universal and has been for many years. Thanks for the great tips.
Hey There from America Ronny!
My friends and I all subscribe to your channel and love your videos!!
There’s 3 things we would like.
1st - A list of everything on your vehicle. Not gear but equipment. All the mods like lights, roll bar, snorkel, tires, suspension, in the engine bay, antennas etc.
2nd - a list of all the gear you keep in your vehicle. Stuff like two-way radios, communication equipment, tools, recovery gear, seat covers, stove, refrigerator or ice box, shovels, everything.
And last but not least
3rd - You here in America!!!
Something like getting together with me and my friends for some off-road adventures!! Or maybe we, or just me, come over there. It’d be a blast either way!
That’s it lol
Love the videos!
Happy trails mate
Well done!
Great Great video! Have wanted to put together something similar but you covered things very well! Will just link people to you. Pretty sure most states require seat belts here in the states and agree on or off road a seat belt can help keep you safe before a accident by keeping you firmly in place so you can control the vehicle. Only thing you skipped (or maybe lucky enough not to know)is having things well secured. Having rolled a few jeeps just having pocket change thrown in your face hurts! Keep up the great video as I find them fun and spot on. Also Ronny I'm leaving on a 6,500 km overland trip from Southern California to Alaska today. I invite you to follow along, Brad
+Adventure Brad 6500 km trip, Alaska... That sounds epic! Have fun. Guessing you guys carry 12 gauge for bears up that way.
Also thanks for the feedback
Thank you very much !!!
Keep the footwell clear, sage advice. My uncle almost killed his family when a ball rolled forward (from the children in the back) and jammed under the break.
I'm really envious of you chaps in Oz, having all that space to explore. We have people called ramblers in the UK who have managed to shut down about 75% of the country side to vehicles. Off roading in the UK consists of pay and play sites and the occasional green lane.
Perhaps I need a long Holiday over there.
Keep up the great work
Russ Laye same in the states man. Everywhere you want to go is either trespassing or pay to enter
That's fucked up man
I think you are thinking helmets, States side is a steep fine for no seatbelts. Helmet laws vary by state. Great Vid !
+Andrew Hadjipetrou
helmets? really?
+Shedz Channel He's referring to motorcycles
+waffenmacht ;-)
another great video Ronny, thanks! when will the top ten things to bring be out?
+Jason Parker hopefully next Sunday or the one after.
very good tips here, that number 6 went out of control :)
Hello Ronny.
I love all your videos and watch them all the time and even repeats.
I learned alot from your page and would like to buy one of your shirts. I cant find it on your website so please let me know where to get one.
Keep up the great videos.
I love Your LC.
Great info Ronny.
Just wondering about your steering wheel cover.
Any recommendations?
Mate your intro's just keep getting better
Thank you
Always great seeing your vehicle Ronnie, but I think its time you found an Amarok for your next Modified Episode!
I like u when u pop out in every new video 😂
Good stuff
Hi...Ronny thanks for uploading this useful video..i have noticed you have fixed a door speaker mount on your door.. Is it a custom made plastic one or a ready made one.. Please let me know where to buy if is a ready made product.. Is it very hard to fix a door speaker to a 70 series cruser because of the inner door stopper..thx
Hi Mate,
THX 4 the Tips,
I love this guys quirkiness.
Great Tips Ronny Dahl! One question my friend: what model of camcorder do you used?
What’s the name of that seat organiser you have on the passenger seat? I have to say that the one complaint my friends and I have for just about everyone’s 4x4 videos is not providing the product name of stuff they show. Like the seat organiser in this video. It looks great but what’s it called and/or where can I get it? See what I mean? All in all though we love your videos the most!! Please keep them coming!
Happy trails mate
just an ote, not every car has dimming interior display lights, our Navara D22 DX 4wd does not but aint much a problem cos the lights arent very bring. Now in the Subaru thats a different story, dash lights always on and super bright and very adjustable
For the bumpy rocks I just use the choke dial on the Hilux, holds 1.5k revs easy without needing to use your feet which can slip. Especially when they're wet pushing on the side won't help much i suggest rigging up throttle control if you do this sort of 4x4 alot. You'll thank me for it lol.
do a review on the general grabbers
Man I love your land crusier. I bet that would cost $100,000 here in the states, with all your mods.
+grantlandneil it cost that here to
Wow. Guess I picked the wrong career lol
Costs that without any mods
around 75,000-80,000 for the gxl duelcab like this one
A mate showed me a trick with the seat belt. Put a drink bottle inbetween you and the seat buckle so if incase you roll over or any other reason you have all your weight on the belt you can open the lid and it will loosen it enough most of the time to undo and with being stuck on a hill or angle and you need to talk your belt off you can put a paper clip on the belt so it wont retract so it can be put back on easily when the going gets tough
What brand is that seat organizer and/or where did you get it?
How is lower back lumbar support on the LC 79? I drive an Isuzu KB 250 like the Dmax, I need to have a small cushion for my lower back...
Tip #6 - how do you attach the iPad mini to the visor? And read my previous comment please
Happy trails mate
I'm tilting steering wheel right up for easy access. Especially if you got long legs.
yeah here in the states it's the law you have to wear seatbelts now, they say "click it or ticket"
Seat belt use depends on where I'm going and how familiar I am with the tracks. If I'm driving around the beaches somewhere I've been 1000 times I won't use a seat belt, especially if I'm just out of the water. If I'm dune driving it's always on, if I have to go into low range it goes on, or if I'm on the road of course.
Lol I like that tree countdown :)
Thanks for your very good advises.
How do you like those General Grabbers?
I hated mine. Horrible for on road use but surprisingly ok in mud.
I am all set after watch this video, just need a 4*4
What brand is the car seat organiser?
what maps do you run on the iPad mate?
Seat belt saved my life when my friend rolled her truck in June 2015. My Jeep won't move unless your all buckled.
Unless you're in deep water?
Tried the footwell thing, not enough resistance of the footwell or my boots
What are the size of your tyres and rims?
Hey mate. Quick one, what about water crossings with windows and seat belts? I was always taught drive a water crossing with my window down and with no seatbelt on.
It never occurred to me to remove my seat belt in a water crossing but it totally makes sense. I usually have the windows down all of the time, and mine are hand crank so I don't have to worry about the power window not working.
7:33 lmao I know your being serious but that was funny
In Tennessee it is most certainly the law that you have to wear a seat belt, you can be pulled over and fined for not wearing, I’m pretty sure it’s the same for the other 49 states as well.
In the bush too?
Seat belt use is required in the US.
You usually have a antenna on the left side of your brush guard. It looks like it might be a HF radio antenna that is tun-able. Are you a Ham (amateur) radio operator? If so, why do you not do a video on the advantages of having this type f radio when you are traveling in the outback.
what kind of seat organizer did you buy, I have looked everywhere for something similar as yours and can't find it at all. Everything these days has mesh pockets, which I don't really want.
+Dane Lovell I'm not sure what brand mine is as I got it of a mate years ago but boab do one and if you google seat organizer you can find heaps of kids ones which are actually cheaper and will do the same job.
what lift and tyres does the jeep have? did it need regearing or sumthin?
+bobcanish 2inch lift and 33's. No regearing
I cant reach H4 gear if i got my seatbelt on and i cant drive well so in offroad i dont put it unless i am a passenger
In my country we only have sand dunes offroading , it maybe Different
situation
2:53 did you throw your stuff out the window in the middle of your trip
?
you need ti get a better centre console installed in that rig. Arm rest and more storage then.
OR, just wire in winch control to your dash for those exact situations
lol that litte wonky step at the start lmao
Could anyone give some tips to modify a hilux workmate dual cab 4x4
+bobby bitossi SAS it
+bobby bitossi see the Hilix modified episode. There will be a few more later one
New tires ? how are these compared to the grapplers?
+A. Wheeler yet to try them in real mud but until then they have been pretty good but are noisier than the MT Grapplers
My windows are always up in the gq, when they're down they rattle so bad sounds like ww3
American here. In regards to the seat belts, you are actually wrong. Every US State with the exception of New Hampshire require seat belt use for adults.
Correct, except I believe in most states back seat passengers over 18 aren't required to wear seat belts.
I don't know about that, but I know that most in the Midwest (I'm from Wisconsin) require everyone to wear seatbelts.
Technically (In America): You must wear seatbelts when on public roads. Private property or offroad, you are not required to wear a seatbelt.
had a bit of a laugh when his dad took a stumble
im in perth too.......do you do 4wd camping trips that we can attend?
also let me know if you want help with more or better vehicle signage ;-)
(best signwriter in town. over 30yrs exp)
cheers m8
+Shedz Channel we do tag along trips and sometimes followers can join us on adventure trips but there aren't any planned for the next few months that aren't full already
+Ronny Dahl (4 Wheeling in W.A.)
thanx ronny.
hopefully get to tag along one day
cheers
Where did you get the shovel mount for your rack?
+Mark Murralsee it's a tracklander mount for the tracklander roof rack
+Ronny Dahl (4 Wheeling in W.A.) thank you Ronny!
#2 won't work too well in the states because of the drivers side being on the left hand side
Zach Novosad Trans should be right there, should work the same
seatbelt use is mandatory in the US
'Hey' *Confused cause I can't see Ronny* 'Ronny here *There he is*
For some reason I really want to prank someone with a snorkel by replacing the top with something really phallic looking. Ha ha.
Mandatory seat belt laws in the United States started getting enforced... I'm not sure. 2010? Give or take. I am in Texas. No mandatory helmet laws for motorcyclists here right now, but I think that's different in Louisiana.
FYI - in the US you generally have to use your seat belt. If the police find you without it they may fine you. It is against the law to not be belted in.
@7:55 New Hampshire is the only state without a seat belt law
Can i find the shirt on Amazon.com?
