Knowledge of how to use everything you have is just as important as having the kit. If only there was an online platform for people to share information videos.😁😁😁
I've overlanded around the world professionally but never carried a torque wrench, I do however carry a 4ft long 3/4 drive breaker bar and 27mm single hex impact socket for taking wheel nuts off my Landy, also a 3/4 to 1/2 inch adapter so I can use it on my 1/2 sockets. I'm sure it'll snap anything that doesn't turn 😁. After 40+ years of working on all kinds of vehicles, I have a good level of judgement what is 20/50/80 ftlbs etc enough to get by at the roadside. I can always use the correct kit at home.
In my G Class 350GD: Tibus Beadlock wheels. down to 0.6 Bar/10PSI incredible how far you come with low pressure Tiredeflator KS Tools Set with 1/2, 3/8, 1/4 Tools. Everything you need ViseGrip, totally underrated and often overlooked A good shovel Snatchstrap with soft shakles Uniko 6in1 ramp/traction boards, usable as traction boards but also you can level your car for sleeping Foldable saw and axe 12v Compressor Tmax 300L and puncture repairset hi lift jack small Jumping clables because my car is automatic Pay attention to the aditional payload ! Overloading your overlander can/will result it high fees in some countries !!!! Best wishes from Germany
@@offtrackfamily Had a look on their website, no infos about that. Think twice if you really need beadlocks ! They are double the weight. It will be a pain in you back to mount them after working on the breakes. Also you lose speed and acceleration because of the unsuspensionweight increase. Also Tibus and Hutchinson are military grade beadlocks. Therefor you need special tools to change the tyre from the wheel. If you just want to lower your pressure use "Tire Gliss Lube". It is a glue tractors use, had it before and it worked on my G, 0.8Bar on normal wheels and no problem. Would not buy beadlocks again
Bonjour from Australia! Ca va? Maxxtrax are an excellent investment. They cost a bit, but will pay for themselves with the first use! I'm really enjoying your videos, and look forward to working my way through all of them. Keep them coming!
Very Surprised you two haven't invested into roll over protection, A lot of funds have been spent to make a excellent overlanding Defender with this exception. Excellent tips as always.
Yes you are not the first to tell us. The only reason it's because we need a little extra storage on the roofrack and for this reason we cannot leave the roofrack to install a roll over cage. In our next project we will remove the jerrycans from the roof because we will install a long range fuel tank. Then we will install a lower alubox storage on the roofrack with more capacity and solar pannel on it so stay tuned for next modifications!
Je vous remercie de votre explications et informations très intéressantes merci encore pour votre effort , je viens d acheter une Defender seulement pour aller a la pêche au sud du Maroc..
Very nice recovery gear you have👍🏼One things for sure, quality recovery gear ain't cheap😱 but a worthwhile investment, good quality gear lasts long💪 I also carry a machete which is useful for all sorts of things but an axe or saw or a chainsaw would be more useful maybe for clearing away fallen trees..
Merci beaucoup pour votre message. Oui nous préparons plusieurs séries de vidéos en même temps mais cela prend énormément de temps. Merci de continuer à nous suivre!
Excellent video of what one should have . Keep up the good work . Could you cover what type of clothing you take and how much on a trip for a month ? Thanks.
Thanks! Yes we will probably make a more detailed video in the future. You can probably already find some infos in this short vid. th-cam.com/video/8NxwotSrQxk/w-d-xo.html
Le treuil est surtout utile si comme nous vous voyagez seul la plupart du temps. Mais vous pourrez dans 90% vous en sortir simplement avec les plaques et une pelle.
Hi, what is the weight of your car if your traveling? Sometimes less is more all these equipment need a lot of space and don't forget the weight. If you lighter all mechanical parts have less stress and a longer live. The key is optimize to a minimum. Ps.we also traveling with 4 people the transition from driving to sleep takes me 2 min. Salutations Patrick
Hi! Thanks for your comment! Totaly agree with you about weight, but sometime we have to make some choices or compromises. Yes our car is heavy probably around 3 tons but we tried to reduce the weight with time and optimised the driveline and other parts with Heavy Duty. We have a minimal camping gear but for some other things like recovery gears that's maybe a bad choice to travel without it. We are always travelling alone (no other vehicles) so if you get stucked or have a mechanic issue that could stop your progresssion for a little detail, we prefer to have the possibility to fix all what it's possible to fix by ourself. All what we have in our car was used several times when overlanding. The only exception is the winch but when you realy need it it will be very helpful. I saw your setup and it's awsome! but we wanted to keep the 5seats setup because we are 4 people but that's a problem for us to don't have the possibility to take one more people in some situations. That will be for sure the subject of another video but we have a lot of projects in the same time. Hope I answered to your question. Don't hesitate to send me a message if it's not the case.
Never ever use the tow hook for recovering use. The rear cross member is not designed to take the load. There are recovering points on the chassis. WD-40 is cheap stuff. Tec7 or Würth have much better products. Informative video, but I just carry some straps, a shovel, a saw, a compressor and a 12v water boiler. Good luck to all of you!
Thanks for your great feedback and advices. I'm surprised about what you said about the tow hook for recovering. We are well talking about tow hook on the rear bumper? Which better recovering points are you using on the chassis for rear?
@@offtrackfamily From Land Rover Experience Denmark Chief Instructor Ib Hammer I've learned, not to use the tow hook as recovering point, because it was designed to pull rolling items. My OneTen has special recovery points (rings) both in front and rear. They are standard factory installed, but you can get aftermarket too, and they are stronger. The tow hook can damage the rear cross member when used as revering point. You can of course reinforce the cross member by welding more steel into the bottom and rear side (inside). Search for Defender recovery point on YT or Google.

Nice! Thanks for your message!!! Tibus Beadlock wheels is a dream!!! We love it!!! Do you know if Tibus is making it for Defender with -20 offset?

@@Drugaskan Okay thanks for your great feedback!
Always helpful knowing what's good to have on the road or even off 😊 thank you both 👌🏴
Thanks a lot for your message :)
you can use the winch even in the desert, if you bury the spare wheel and use it as an anchor. Great video and greetings from Spain.
Yes you are right! Terestrial anchor is the way to do! Thanks for your comment!

Cool la vidéo, on a pas le treuil mais c'est certain que se doit être rassurant de l'avoir pour le "au cas où "..
Le treuil est surtout utile si comme nous vous voyagez seul la plupart du temps. Mais vous pourrez dans 90% vous en sortir simplement avec les plaques et une pelle.
Good video, thanks for sharing ✌
You are welcome! Hope you will love next vids! Don't hesitate to tell us what content do you prefer.
Great post as always, do you ever consider using soft shackles against bow shackles... take care all of you 👋😊
Thanks a lot :) Yes we would love to change for soft shackles but for the moment we'll stay with the bow ones as it's not on our priority list ;)
