@GustavoScarpellini you asked for this video and we delivered. ✌️ It took some time to get everything out, record and edit, but thank you so much for the request, we hope it helps others as well ☺️
Great video! This is the kind of stuff that isn’t sexy but can really impact a trip. I’m always concerned about the balance between having enough tools without carrying too many. This really helps!
Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad it helps. I would probably carry less on a short trip, but on this trip I gotta say I used almost everything that’s there and I even added a 27 and 30 spanner to adjust the steering
I always have a BFH on hand (big F'n hammer!). A big lump hammer is very useful for persuading bits of metal to move. You may not need it often but when you do, it's the only thing that will work.
Really great setup, just view, my suggestion (before watching your other video, next thing i will do soon) are more electrical spare like: wire , connector, swtitch (!!!), crimper, kumpercable/booster, some relay and finally solenoid starter(!)... and I hgave spare vise can mount on trailer hitch
Hey, thank you for your suggestions! I got some wire some Wago connectors, and crimp connectors, and a soldering iron, aswell as a multi meter and fuses. That was more in the section spare parts than tool. But fair pint. The magnet switch was rebuild before the trip and I had to overhaul it in Argentina (either ep 72 or 73). I do not bring a crimper a Normal pair of pliers do the job it's not to code but but it works long enough to get back to civilization. 😉
Moin! Das ist meiner Meinung nach eine gute Zusammenstellung, um sich selbst aus den gröbsten Miseren zu befreien. Danke für die Zusammenstellung und happy Landrovering. Beste Grüsse
I think it’s a reasonably comprehensive toolkit well thought out to to cover most repairs. You cannot carry everything but what you have seems to strike a good balance as borne out by your own experience. If possible it’s always best to have the tools to do the job yourself, especially when travelling to remote places.
I can recommend moving to a good tool bag. I'm using the "blue ridge overland gear" tool bag and I fit pretty much everything you showed in that bag. I also carry electrical tools like a butane soldering iron, and other stuff all in that bag. Removing all the tools from their hard cases saves a lot of space. And you can also consolidate. eg. the ARB tyre repair kit contains a set of pliers and a blade which are probably not needed. Anyway, good video. Thumbs up from me.
Hey Richard, thanks for the hint I had a tool roll before for shorter trips it was fine. But I like the box cause it fits perfectly underneath the floor and holds everything. Works just well for me. Yeah I know I could save some things here and there, but if I removed stuff from the tire-fixing kit I'll loose it and it's convenient to move it from one car to the next and know you've everything you need… My brother brought the soldering iron so that is in the car as well 😉 Thanks for commenting!
great set - not as experienced as you guys are, but i have also a long flexible gripper in case something drops and hard to get at, it is also equipped with a magnet. oh and a small magnetic dish, where you can drop in your nuts and bolts while you work on the car.
That’s good additions, but due to the limited space they had to stay at home. In a lot of places I swapped the original bolts to stainless steel, those don’t stay in the dish there for I don’t miss it too much. Thanks!
Pretty much all you need, I have a Lidl's toolkit, screwdrivers, pliers, sidecutters and a set of spanners for the "overland tool kit" there will be more in that than the kit as is. I would suggest you also have a few imperial sizes like 2x 9/16th for the prop, 1/2" bi-hex sockets for the brake calipers, and a 30mm shallow socket for checking the rear axle ball joint, radius arms and the transfer box drive flange nuts. You have pretty much minimal amount of what you need.
Hey, thank for the hint! The tool/socket for the prob is in 1:55 together with a 14mm works great. All the stahlwille nuts are be hex, I had no problem with the metric sizes while we took of the calipers. But I'll check that again. Yeah you're right a short 30mm socket is missing.
Great set up of tools for a Land Rover travel tool kit . Thanks for sharing your tool video . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :):)👍🏼
Great series of videos for sure. I have subscribed. As an aside, if I were you I would think about going back to the original rear wheel bearing adjustment method used on the older 110's, with just two nuts and a tab washer. This way as bearings wear you take out the play and drive on with no need for different size spacers and extreme torque. Wheel flange off....tab washer bent back, nuts tightened and do up in reverse and drive off. All the best. :)
Hey thanks for reaching out! Glad you like the videos! I heard from some that did it. So far luckily we did had much trouble with wheel bearings. But this might be worth it knowing that we have lots of km in front of us. Do you need to change hubs or stub axles? Or is ist just bearings….
Hey, I’ve small grinding bits for the power drill, I’ve nothing like a angle grinder if you refer to that. But didn’t miss it yet. We got an compressor onboard we use that as blower.
They Thomas, we recorded that video already twice but never published it. Spares always change. And strongly depend on the car and the state is in, as well the countrys you want to travel. We are really lucky and the car is performing great. But in promis the video will come!
Awesome video, definitely a very comprehensive kit! But if you also have the knowledge of how to repair all these those things then for sure worthwhile to bring on a trip like the one you guys are on! Keep it coming! Awesome content you guys are producing and I'm loving following along 🤙
Most of the time I'm at least confident enough that I will be able to dissasable it. If I manage that, I'm kinda in the position that I have to put it together again... 😂 Thanks! We appreciate the feedback!

Good point, sofar I didn’t miss one, my issue is I don’t know where I would store it in the car.

Thank you for the feedback! The kit is serving us well so-far. 😊
I would add a small multimeter (multi purpose measuring device).
We have one !! And use it all the time 😬
@@Thebluelandyin a defender it’s pretty much compulsory and your bound to be forced to become a backyard auto sparky without realising it

Good set of tools
Thanks! It was sufficient for all the repairs we had to carry out
Agreed

A portable grinder would come handy in a lot of cases and air blower...You can find both working on the same battery from Bosch

If you get a chance, let us know what spare parts you like to keep on board. Your video is my baseline for my tool kit now. Thank you

With all those tools you could start your own mobile service business.
That's a good idea maybe I can start a side hustle
You forgot the kitchen sink
Sorry, can you explain more? I don't understand what you mean with the kitchen sink. 😣
Just get a Landcruiser then you won’t need any tools
At that point you might want to get a Tesla so you don't need diesel…
One you buy Japanese you might as well hand over your man card not to mention the cops might charge you with treason for supporting the enemy
