  • Last week we got the news... our #Landrover #defender will have to stay for a week at a garage in Jackson Hole, WY as we are expecting for spare parts to fix it. Serendipity has put Tom and his #landroverdefender Jerry on our route. In our trouble he offered to continue the journey with us while we need to wait. This episode is the story of this adventure. We leave Albatross behind and travel with Tom and Jerry through #Wyoming, #southdakota and #Colorado. Beautiful landscapes, amazing wildlife, competitive card game, delicious dinner, this is an expedition in the expedition, this is Expedition Jerry! Hopefully by the end of it... our car will be fixed!

    See you next week, until then, take care!

    Had to do a little work on my own Hummer this last week my 4x4 transfer case went offline and I was afraid I would need to replace the transfer case ... plus I need the Hummer to get over the Sierra Nevada's for Thanksgiving .... luckily it turned out to simply be the encoder motor on the transfer case burned out ... so a new encoder motor was all that was needed ... much much cheaper than a whole new transfer case ... 😁

I would love for you to interview Tom and do a compare and contrast with him about his trip to Tuktoyaktuk. That is if you all are still traveling together. I really want to go that way rather than to Prudhoe but would love to hear what you all have to say. So glad you got Albie back...I wish you many miles. Stay strong and true Albatross!

    Good idea to team up with Tom, he's got a great Defender. Love the way he has Jerry configured - very practical.
    I'm sure it was a bit cold and uncomfortable weather wise but you know what they say: No such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes!
    Which brings us to the beanies (by the way, beanies are called "toques" in Canada);
    1. Worn to keep head warm
    2. To hide "it's too cold to wash hair weather"
    3. It's the law in Wyoming past September..? 😏
    Glad you have Albo back and hope there is no further trouble engine wise!

    Admiration to the three of you for seeming to get along as well as it appears you do. Interested to learn how well the diagnosis of Albatross addresses the fault. I dread ever being in a situation where I am waiting for my vehicle to be returned to fully operational.

    • @NextMeridianExpedition
      @NextMeridianExpedition  ปีที่แล้ว

      It was great fun! We really gained a friend in this experience.
      So nothing dramatic on the engine because we stopped in time. We heard other travelers lost entire engine because they did not notice a heavy leak. It is hard to say what went wrong. We replaced the injector seals and the rocker cover and now the Def works like a charm and we are back to no leak at all just like before this unfortunate event. The whole thing ended up being super easy to fix it was just identifying the issue and ordering the parts that took time and a bit of support.

    I suppose I'm not the only LR driver who would like to get some more technical information of the problem your engine had. What went wrong? Do you know the cause? As far as I remember, your car doesn't have too much mileage yet (much less than 200 000 km?).

    • @NextMeridianExpedition

      Hello! Thank you for your comment.
      We are not sure of the exact issue but we changed the injector seals and the rocker cover that had a missing valve and we ve had no leaking issue since then. So we assume the problem was coming from one of those two.

    Saw in comments that someone was asking if it wasn't better to buy a vehicle here instead of shipping one from Europe. I think what would be great is to be able to connect with someone in Europe who has an overland vehicle and wants to overland in America and trade vehicles with them just for the trip. That way both parties could save shipping cost and when you were done with the trip just fly home and you would have your own vehicle back.

    Knowing what you know now, and observing that Land Rovers are not particularly common in the western hemisphere, would you recommend to other Europeans that they ship one over to N America vs buying a vehicle here?

    • @NextMeridianExpedition
      @NextMeridianExpedition  ปีที่แล้ว

      Interesting question. I imagine it depends of your build if you have already one or not and the investment it would be to get something similar in North America.
      In our specific case, we were supposed to head straight from Europe to Central Asia but the war in Ukraine changed our plans. We will get there but later on. So the choice of car was made to have our home with us across all continents. It did not make sense to buy in North America.
      Eventually the only challenge is to wait for parts but parts get to North America pretty easily. It would surely be easier to have another vehicle if the point is to only do North America and one does not have a véhicule already built… it would also depend for how long the trip is. Cause if you want a comfortable build across seasons for several months you might not find it for cheap on the market up here….
      So many variables… hahaha we met mostly people who shipped their vehicles in North America so far.

    Hey guys, since you are driving a LR Defender down South to Ushuaia, did you guys check on the availability of service network for it once you go down South of US ?
    We are doing the PAH trip starting in Feb/March 2023 for 2+ years and one of the main reasons I avoided LR is , it is a “ problem child” with lot of reliability issues 😀 Didn’t feel like stopping by at the mechanics every few hundred miles lol LRs are notorious for breaking down and parts availability is not easy in certain parts of the world and you are stuck for weeks till the parts arrive.
    We snagged a 2021 LC 200 Heritage Edition late last year ( last LC for the American market at least for a while unless you get the LX600 ) and did a overland build and my main reason is reliability. We won’t be living out of it so not much living setup except a rooftop tent installed for occasional camping.
    Wondering if you guys checked on serviceablity of LR Defender especially in Central America. Big cities in South America might have service centers but not as ubiquitous as Toyota which has presence everywhere.
    Hopefully your LR stays up and running because service might be rare in small towns in Central and South America and LRs are known for breaking down.
    The informal slogan for Land Rover is “ Land Rover. Making mechanics out of owners since 1948” lol

      @@dwh7651 Well, others like Nissan or Jeep can pull it through with an occasional problem and available parts all the way but the LR ranks dead last in reliability so wondered how suited it’s for a long overland trip. They have already broken down once or twice but it’s in the US so parts and service are accessible. What say Guatemala or Honduras or Bolivia or some place like that in a small town?
      I wondered if N&M had it planned out for those exigencies since we’ll be starting out for this trip in 4 months.

    • @NextMeridianExpedition
      @NextMeridianExpedition  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Sam! Sorry for the delayed answer. We did consider other car brands. Nick grew up in Africa and I worked a lot there where we always had Toyotas for work. We knew the limited availability of parts etc etc… in one of our video we actually discuss the car choice. This decision was motivated by two main elements : set up opportunities (especially the installation of a pop up roof) and financial (the Toyota model we were interested in is extremely expensive in Europe ( needs to be imported and adapted to match pollution regulations). Eventually we have travelled for two years with our defender with really no problem. Since the world tour it is the first time we are really stopped and we have driven 60k km with it. The parts not being as easily available is an issue but is not too dramatic. Companies ship internationally and that is part of the trip we are flexible. As for when we will be in central and South America: might arrive slower but life is also cheaper so things balance out. It is going to vary from region to region there is no doubt of that.
      We find the eternal comments on the lack of reliability of the defender funny. We don’t feel that we suffer from that choice of vehicle (as mentioned we know it is simpler maybe with a toyota in some situations). The car has actually held pretty well for 60k.
      And as you say we love learning mechanics. We had very few mechanical skills and we re learning so much. We like that it is so hands on.
      Voila! A bit of a long essay but people get a bit judgy over just a choice of car brand. The bottom line for us is that we made the choice based on very practical considerations related to our budget and needs for this world tour knowing the challenges and so far we do not regret it. And if we have a problem in a remote place that has never seen a defender before… that will make for a great story!

      @@NextMeridianExpedition Haven’t watched your car choices video.
      The popular vehicle in Africa is the 70 series Landcruiser and especially the 79 Troopy. But like you said, for the longest time it wasn’t legal for sale both in Europe and North America because of emissions but the 2022 70 series is compliant and it’s been made to be Euro-4 compliant .
      But the options in the US other than the 70 series are the 80 and 100 series, both were sold in North American and I myself had a 100 series in the Lexus version which I regret trading in. So, 70 series is not the only option.
      Well, it’s good that you made your choice on your personal needs and went with the LR. Not my choice of vehicle personally and I can’t work on cars but if you are hands-on mechanics, that is one step better than me lol I just went with the easy option of spending more money on a reliable vehicle 😀
      I was curious if you had weighed the pros and cons but I suppose you have. I asked the question since you had broken down a couple of times already. But hopefully it will stay up.
      I have friends who have LRs and they have a love hate relationship with their Land Rovers and they love driving it when it runs but not so much when they break down and lands them an expensive garage bill lol
