It’s good to see the bts stuff with you. Most of the other shows just present shiny stuff never broken. You show us the real deal about going 4 wheeling and this is what I find the most interresting about your Channel! Cheers from Canada!
PDP seems like an upstanding business and the folks there look to be true professionals. I'd take my truck there if they weren't on the other side of the world.
Just had the NPC clutch fitted up last week & whilst I gasped at the cost I also got to say that it’s the sweetest thing going.... gentle touch with the reassurance of the biggest hold on the aftermarket market. Have a great trip and keen to see the suspension wrap up as I’m wondering whether I’m in the same place.... Thanks for all the hours of content too, Ronnie. Must be a labour....
Hey Ronny I’m a lawyer and I’ll go to bat for you, if you get sued for defamation. Having said that, don’t worry about naming and shaming if what you say is based in truth. Truth is a complete defence for defamation under these circumstances. If you want me to review any transcript before you publish be my honour buddy. Just email me.
What would be interesting to us all is a compilation of all the cost involved. I think that many have no idea of how expensive it is to have a vehicle like yours and the cost involved to go 4wheeling like you and your mates are doing. Thanks in advance.
Another top video from you Ronny!! That shaft was f%&@#d!!! Whoever did your suspension needs a lesson in geometry!! Anyway, I personally love your longer trips away with a video each Sunday to watch, but either way, as long as you're posting your great videos i'm happy! I think i speak for most when i say this. Thanks again mate! Enjoy your next trip.
Travis is great. Let him have a few more speaking parts where he is not interrupted. He does explain things in a logical, calm, step by step manner. Shame about your suspension, really, you have been putting up with it for that long? That outfit needs to be named, or at very least, what was wrong with it needs to be explained so others can avoid. Nice to see the rig getting some Maintenance Diff, Gearbox and Transfer case oils are so easy to do, no excuse not too. The difference is so noticeable.
Great video Ronny! I hope your new suspension works a treat. The reality is you think I have plenty of time before going a way and the next thing you know it has arrived and you still have stuff you need to do. It is the reality of traveling. I just wished I could go on a trip with you it always looks like so much fun. Maybe some day I will have my Bt-50 setup and can do one of your tag a long tours. Keep up the great work and showing us this beautiful country we live in. Chris
I obviously have to be careful about what I do. I will make another video with the entire story in fine detail once I'm cool and calm and not under pressure packing and getting stuff ready for the next big trip.
A shop that good is a rare find. I try to do as much as I can for myself, but I really wish I knew someone in my area that was even half as good as those guys appear to be.
Great Vid Ronny, what was in the lunch? lol shit Travis thats a hell list @ 14:14 , glad its yours, not mine, feel your pain Ronny with the Suspension, Ive had a similar experience , but its a good way to learn who not to go to, hope you have an awesome trip!!
I noticed the same issue with my front tail shaft hitting the sway bar with 3" Lift kit from EFS. I ended up swapping the 25mm sway bar drop blocks that came with the kit to 50mm blocks which gave plenty of clearance. Surprising how may main stream suspension kits etc are not fully tested and correct.
Nice video Ronny. Just a hint, since you have rear leaf springs, try using Roadmaster Active Suspension kit, we will feel the difference. Their web site is activesuspension.com.
I'd LOVE to know which shop botched your suspension.............also, unfortunately after 4.5 years action would be difficult to take with these guys, but I'd love to know if you ever brought up these issues with the shop soon after the install when you noticed issues......or was it a case of it being too hard to pin point until this discovery came along?
Ronny! I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the Rhinohide panel protection. Any thoughts? I don't need a full video but what do you reckon? Happy to hear from anyone else too
From the sound of it. The video would have gone... hey this is ronny dahl.......something something suspension.... montage of suspension components going in the skip bin... cya next time... Thankfully Ronny isn't a silly sausage and wants to make a constructive video out of it.
hey mate I got your message a few days ago just been editing until the late hours before I leave. tomorrow is another release (yep a surprise Thursday video).
J S there is nothing wrong with it? I just wish i had the money to change my cars set up every 6 months or less haha. Ive been watching his videos for ages and love his channel so it wasnt meant to be negative

Hey another canadian! Nice. I know there are a lot more. Just cool that someone actually mentions it.
I wish we had Techs like Travis in the UK. People who actually seem to enjoy what they do rather than just making money off you. Keep it up guys.

Very good. We as viewers friends really appreciate this. Bless.
Maybe you could do a short Video about Travis's tool kit that he takes with him. Would be kinda interesting to see what the actual mechanic carries.
love these kinds of episodes. Travis is such a guru and super professional. Best 4WD outfit in the interwebs boys!
I have an NPC in my Hilux, simply the best clutches on the market bar none.
Cheers From Utah Ronny. Getting ready for my trip Apr 26-30th and it seems the list can go on and on. Thanks for the heads up on priorities.
Mike

Diff, Gearbox and Transfer case oils are so easy to do, no excuse not too.

It is pretty sad how many "custom" shops have no idea of what they are doing and even worse, purposely trying to rip you off.
Great video Ronny! I hope your new suspension works a treat. The reality is you think I have plenty of time before going a way and the next thing you know it has arrived and you still have stuff you need to do. It is the reality of traveling.

Don't make major changes before a trip and find your campsite BEFORE dark. Great tips to ignore. :P
love the bts videos, maintenance is a major major aspect for us too... always learning!
thanks for the TIP ronny you can keep the shaft ..
And a heads up if after 4 years your suspension is bad and the installer dosnet fix it, name them save others from same fate.
good point, I guess Ron might pick up on your comment for the in detail vid
I obviously have to be careful about what I do. I will make another video with the entire story in fine detail once I'm cool and calm and not under pressure packing and getting stuff ready for the next big trip.
can't wait to see what you're up to next Ronny!! Much respect from Italy !
always good to watch keep it up
good luck and travel safe for your trip Ronny and team, love the cross over pipe and exhaust Ronny I will have to get Travis to do mine
A shop that good is a rare find. I try to do as much as I can for myself, but I really wish I knew someone in my area that was even half as good as those guys appear to be.
Good stuff and very honest.
Can certainly tell your frazzled over this situation!
Awesome video Ronny.
Lucky you have PDP, appear to be very good mechanics.
keep up the awesome work boys
Legend! Thank you
Yeah I change the Clutch Fluid every 2 years...Yet another reason why I service my own Vehicle
Love the mechanical stuff ronny. Keep it coming! Wouldn't mind seeing some DIY mechanical work either, if you're into that.
Great Vid Ronny, what was in the lunch? lol shit Travis thats a hell list @ 14:14 , glad its yours, not mine, feel your pain Ronny with the Suspension, Ive had a similar experience , but its a good way to learn who not to go to, hope you have an awesome trip!!
ah long nights in the shed, hope it all gets sorted Ronnie.
Install some Old Man Emu, they've been doing 70 series Suspension since the 1980's. Some companys make it look hard...
That was a consideration as it was offered but took a different path
Ronny Dahl 👍🏼
I ran OME in my 80 for years no dramas
Now o have new OME in my 200 no dramas. KISS principle ( keep it simple stupid)
I noticed the same issue with my front tail shaft hitting the sway bar with 3" Lift kit from EFS. I ended up swapping the 25mm sway bar drop blocks that came with the kit to 50mm blocks which gave plenty of clearance. Surprising how may main stream suspension kits etc are not fully tested and correct.
I think the kit might have worked fine if the correct installation and correct size parts were used.
Every time the mech said, “...so obviously...” it was not at all obvious. 🙂
Nice
video Ronny. Just a hint, since you have rear leaf springs, try using Roadmaster
Active Suspension kit, we will feel the difference. Their web site is activesuspension.com.

Hope you changed the rear main seal
As Travis said shortcuts will cost you in the long run
Can pdp open a shop in Melbourne
After all, your suspension has lasted 4 years. Cant be so bad. With the new dampers you now lose some flex on the front axle.
spent the day in the shop too sorting out suspension issues that ive had for 3 years since it was installed badly aswell!!
Wish there was shop in Sydney that where that helpfull
It's very nice increase the power of an engine, then the problems appear !!
Sweet Holden!!
NerdThatHitUrMom yeah wonder why that's in a diesel performance shop?
Its a toy Travis has had for ages. No room to keep it at home
If only the El Camino could've survived the eighties...lol
Ronny who did your suspension, I also originally had a local shop do mine and stuffed it up
Ronny! I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the Rhinohide panel protection. Any thoughts? I don't need a full video but what do you reckon? Happy to hear from anyone else too
What car is it on? We are planning on a video/info night soon at our shop. DM us and I can send photos of it on our 200.
Perth Diesel Performance It'll be going on a 150 but happy to see the demonstration/pros/cons on a 200
Someone edit 0:43
hahaha no please dont
HAHAHAHA Best comment yet!
Let's do this!
seems like a pretty big downside that you can't touch the clutch in the water. assuming Auto has no issue
Just a question about when Travis and Yourself were under the truck. Was that a fuel cooler above Travis's head??
Chris Pellatt yes
Any chance you will drive the dingo fence?
Seen you in coolgardie today if your ever coming back through coolgardie what's the chances of you signing my dash my hj60 cheers
Hey mate what brand is your parabolic springs?
Was it wrong suspension set up for your 4wd or badly installed? Or both?
everything above mate
What clutch did you have prior to the NPC ?
why on earth is your rig tilted on the hoist, in the end of the vid?
if she still runing dont fuck with it thats they way on the farm we have plenty cruisers over 500,000 never touched
Question. Does a 4x2 do the same thing like the 4x4. I have a 4x2 fj cruiser
4x4 = drive to all 4 wheels... 4x2 = 4 wheels but on drive from 2 wheels. In other words 2WD
Ronny Dahl thanks for your advice. I love my fj cruiser 4x2 I just wanted to know what are my limitations. That's all
Is that l/h sprinh hanger bent?.
Them things are expensive to run and keep running a
how many of us watching this went and checked under their 4wd , I for one
Transmisi A/T or M/T
You know if you're cranky when you film and say something wrong you have the ability to edit the video...
From the sound of it. The video would have gone... hey this is ronny dahl.......something something suspension.... montage of suspension components going in the skip bin... cya next time...
Thankfully Ronny isn't a silly sausage and wants to make a constructive video out of it.
I get it you cant reply to comments but you should at least reply to your PATREONs .
double cardon driveshaft period. I installed my dobinon, Slee whteline landtank suspension in my driveway works like a champ and I know whats what .
hey mate I got your message a few days ago just been editing until the late hours before I leave. tomorrow is another release (yep a surprise Thursday video).
Youve got way to much money haha
trent what makes you say that? Ronny is just someone who is trying to make a living while entertaining others
J S there is nothing wrong with it? I just wish i had the money to change my cars set up every 6 months or less haha. Ive been watching his videos for ages and love his channel so it wasnt meant to be negative
likesssssssssssssssssss
You should practice what you preach.
