Very nice to see the folks from two of my favorite channels come together. And what a beach camp site. Can't wait to see what you are up to in the next few weeks Ronny and very eager to see Grizzly & Bear take on Oz.
These days it seems like every man and his dog is jumping on the "overlanding" bandwagon but these guys are certainly the real thing. I don't mean to criticise what others are doing but you can visit almost anywhere in Europe, Canada or the USA (or even Oz) and be home again in a couple of weeks for repair, restock and maintenance. To be on the road for YEARS, one country after another, is just a whole other level. Total respect. In a sane world, these guys would be the poster-kids for the Land Rover brand but, unfortunately, it seems like LR just want to sell gin-palaces to footballers these days.
Leigh & Steph have been my favorite TH-camrs for years, right after you Ronny, and Project farm lol.... they truly appreciate the people they meet, travel to beautiful locations, and do so in a unique manner. Really happy they met up with you.
Brilliant Ronny, just fargin fantastic. Really enjoyed this clip, great job with the editing. I've got a real short concentration span yet this held my interest for the whole 42mins.
Love these guys, probably my favourites on youtube. Great attitude, awesome vehicle and seriously into what they do. These guys really do 'explore the ends of the earth'....unlike another un-named TH-camr.
I’ve been following Gizzley n Bear for a few years now. Great report. Those two are driving my best vehicle. And they do what many people would do. Cheers 🍻
This is a proper Overlander and this couple define true Overlanding, everything functional, they haven’t thrown money into some Dreamtourer then not used it, just lived in it travelled it for 4years in some crazy troubled countries let alone extreme terrain with all those challenges and still going strong, amazing rig and people. Definition of Overlanding, just make it happen and work. Excited to see this travel around Australia for awhile. What achievement to navigate hose countries, Legends. Awesome episode one of the best ever Ronnie. 🤘
We're following Leigh and Steph for years. Although we've never met with them, we feel like we were part of their journey from Europe to Australia. Steph, many thanks for all the videos you created out of your Defender. Have fun in Australia. That's the overlanding paradise.
I've been watching all episodes of Grizzly n Bear ever since they left France. When Bear got stuck in a frozen river in Mongolia was the most difficult situation a 4x4 explorer would encounter. Leigh was in frozen water for a very long time trying to recover the bear. I love Ronny's shows equally. Glad to see both of my presenters in one show!
Same here! That was a pretty wild experience! Here in the US we have a piece of recovery gear called a plow anchor. It's basically an anchor that digs into the ground as your winch pulls. I would have suggested it for Leigh but they are pretty heavy and bulky.
@@DaciaProject that wouldn't do much good here unfortunately. In the deep south we have a lot of forests and mud. Spending several hours digging a Deadman pit isn't something I'm up for. 99.99% of the time we have PLENTY of trees around, but in that .01% of the time it's going to be a bottomless hole and no time to dig.
So happy to see you guys back on "home" soil and especially catching up with another Australian icon Ronny Dahl. Just one thing to be aware of Leigh is the ARB twin does have a tendancy to draw a lot of moisture from the air when filling up tyres. I am exploring putting in a dessicant system on the intake side to try reduce the amount of moisture that this thing pushes out. I am unsure how it is on the West coast but I know here on the east coast, specifically Brisbane and the coastal regions it is quite bad. Can't wait to catch up with you guys out on the road one day.
Awesome episode! We were very fortunate to spend lots of time with Steph and Leigh here in Japan and they are beautiful people with so many amazing stories. Hats off to GrizzlyNbear and Ronny Dahl for making consistent quality content.
Seen the episode with the German GU Patrol, but man! didn't expect to see a French number plate in Australia! This channel is just fantastic. Hope I'll get the chance to meet you one day Ronny with my UK RHD French registered GU Patrol in Australia!
Great video and thank you Leigh and Steph for going so in depth with your home 🏡, hope I get to bump into Grizzly on the roads of Western Australia. Cheers Ronny! 🍻
What a ripper episode Ronny. Lee & Steph certainly have a lot of great stories to tell making this Modified very interesting. We'll see if they get aircon later hey!
For those that are new to Grizzly n have a look how they repaired the rebuild of the front diff I didnt expect that to eventuate Always worth a watch appear to be very likable people Well done The Frozen river extraction was interesting.
Aw so awesome to see grizzly & Bear on your video . Have enjoyed the way thy show not only the places they have been to but the awsome people they meet along the way and there life styles as well . They are truly great ambassadors of the over landing life style of living . And so much Thanks for sharing there rig on your show . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A.
Awesome episode Ronny. I’ve followed Lee and Steph as I have you since starting. Definitely one of my favourite episodes from all of you. Being from WA, in fact around the corner from yourself Ronny, hoping to see GrizzlyNBear out and about! Cheers for the Sunday morning entertainment.
Really cool Defender but Leigh & Steph is why I watch and follow them! I hope I will meet them someday somewhere on this planet! And I have the Bartang on my list with my 1965 Unimog! :)
Excellent episode Ronny. Super enjoyable. Looks like I’ve got some of their content to get through! I’ve subscribed to their channel. Again, great stuff.
The Defender has been absolutely reliable. We've never broken down and only had one major maintenance problem which was due to a recalled part not being replaced by the previous owner.
@@leighdearle5965 Thanks for the reply. There's so many people who despise Landrover because of reliability but as my uncle once said. If Landrover was so unreliable then you would not see so many on the road, And they have been all a round the world. I am personally looking for a Defender tho and I think that people exacerbate the reliability of Landrover.
@@leighdearle5965 Absolutely, the old buggers keep going and going. I have driven them all over North America and Iraq, and they are agricultural and rustic, but they will get you there and back. When your puma engine gets tired, upgrade to an Isuzu diesel, it's a perfect combo.
Hey, Ronnie! I saw this and remembered you also did the trip to Arizona and got to walkaround TrailRecon’s Jeep Rubicon. I have a 2013 Defender 110 and am considering the selling for a Rubicon for the better comfort. Thoughts on the idea? My concern is the lack of space and weight capacity when it would come to trips around Aus.
Interesting rig and an amazing journey. I think doing something like that would be incredible but I can't work out how I would come up with the finance to do it.
![We Bought 4 Land Rover Defenders in Africa... #Landy4x4x4 🇿🇦[EP1]](/img/n.gif)
Travelling around the world, with that lady... boy is blessed!
One of the coolest builds so far on here. Never expected to see this defender on here I watched this defender get built years ago on there channel
....their channel
@Avianna Noelle Agree. Afghanistan is a very unique landscape and people!
Love the old "Modified" music...
These folks and their rig are Legit! Chalked with character, charisma, coolness in spades! Wow!
My 2 favorite TH-cam channels in one video!
Very nice to see the folks from two of my favorite channels come together. And what a beach camp site. Can't wait to see what you are up to in the next few weeks Ronny and very eager to see Grizzly & Bear take on Oz.

100%, will be great seeing them go around Aus!
I have been following Leigh and Steph for four years, so good to see my favourite two TH-cam channels meet up. Amazing.
This guy is living the dream, awesome rig, travelling the world with a beautiful and cool chick, lucky duck
Thanks for introducing us to these two most beautiful people and their rig. This is what adventure is about. Well done Ronny.

The best rig you've had on Modified.
2:33 Lee photobombing the commercial is probably the most epic and the one thing all of us would do in his shoes. I hate interviews.
Team G&B here. Incredible people, amazing journey..... And those Crocs are the living proof.

Awesome episode one of the best ever Ronnie. 🤘
A great film about two cool guys. 👍✌️
Love all you guys. Keep it coming. As a viewer, for me seeing them travel through Afghanistan was the best.
Great review Ronnie
Love how you meet real people traveling around . Honest review
We're following Leigh and Steph for years. Although we've never met with them, we feel like we were part of their journey from Europe to Australia. Steph, many thanks for all the videos you created out of your Defender. Have fun in Australia. That's the overlanding paradise.
Fantastic, two of my favourite TH-cam channels combined 👍🏼❤️👍🏼❤️👍🏼
I Will be checking their channel out For Sure!

@@roguegunfighter9194 ?! When you get to the .01% you call 911 on a sat phone. . .
Probably best episode yet, legends amongst legends... Seriously, JLR should study this set up and replicate... would be a dream vehicle.
Just one word. AMAZING.
Great video. Ive been following Leigh & Steph for years on youtube and Patreon. A dream overlanding journey
The part with the radio was EPIC
Great episode and Leigh and Steph are and awesome couple and have done some amazing trips. Well done Ronny for featuring them on your channel 👍🤩
Hi Simon ! Nice to see you here 😄 thank you
Limb riser cables come in handy on the tight Appalachian trails
My favourite modified episode so far 👍 great to have you walk trough this awesome rig!
33:37 waooooow! That landscape. That truly is some epic wilderness there.
So happy to see you guys back on "home" soil and especially catching up with another Australian icon Ronny Dahl.

Awesome thanks for the info mate. I do notice occasionally that there will be a little moisture from the nozzle.

Love how he used Cooper tires and terra firma suspension. Usually we always see bfgs and bilstein.... nice to see another option

They are such a lovely couple. I admire their look on life.
th-cam.com/video/u1ZK6JlCUPc/w-d-xo.html

I enjoyed this episode, nice to see GnB in Oz. How lucky to be able to travel together like that.
Yes, the cool music is back!

Love the hue mug!
Watching both channels from the Middle East 😍
Love the build and all you 3! Thank you for taking us on your journeys with you.
Keep them coming!
I think a 6x6 perentie prob would suit even better for this couple. Imagine build with one of those!

30+ countries in 4 years... If I ever hooked a huge lottery win, I'd do this hands down! And Australia would be my #1 destination!!!

Finally!!! Was waiting for this vid like forever....🙌🏻
What an adventure. Very lovely couple.
EPIC intro! The old song is back! And the world music, and editing, fantastic! Hooked already.

They seem like a really nice couple, modest too. I'll subscribe.
Thanks for another great episode

Love it when two awesome channels meet. 😎
🤣 when Leigh came out behind the rig during the sponsorship part
Great episode, great people! Keep it up, friends!
What an awesome episode. We have done most of that trip with a roof tent and the pop top camper looks like luxury!

Aloha Grizzly and Bear. Absolutely stoked you guys are getting more exposure on Ronnies channel. Good on ye.

Frick this is such a nice build !! I noticed that 50 or 80amp battery charger :) nice work.
GrizzlyNbear 👌 coolest overland TH-cam channel 🤩
I’m a current toyota owner both a new Tacoma and an old Toyota pickup, but I have always loved the looks of land rovers.
Its...land rover...not the range rover on this episode...😬
@@dolguldur4706 fixed. MB
Wow, they finally arrived in Australia. They said they will come to Australia when they were in Taiwan on traveling.
Love every modified episode💪🏻💪🏻but I have to say this one is a really special one and I really enjoyed it
Cheers mate 🍻 🍻
awesome. when legends meet.
Enjoyed listening to them on talking 4x4
you missed the moste important question! How reliable was the Defender and what problems did you encounter?
