A set of dopjes, sounds about right. Hai, het meeste gereedschap ziet er nieuw en ongebruikt uit, mooi zo! En houden zo, wat ik zelf handig vind is een setje walkie talkies (oplaadbaar) voor jezelf en de eventueel over langere afstand gesleepte. In verband met afslagen, tanken, en strakhouden kabel wanneer geen sleepstang aanwezig. Slepen met kabel is in sommige provincies verboden. Hartelijke groetjes Chris.
Heel goed! Ja soms niet vanzelf sprekend iemand op sleeptouw nemen... Laatst een oude Clio met dooie accu proberen aan te slepen op een supermarkt parkeerplaats. een kwartier lang achteruit (beide auto's) in rondjes en hij wist niet wat 'ie moest doen (hij sprak geen Frans of Engels). Koppeling dus met grof geweld los terwijl ik sleep. Arme Renaultje kreeg klappen -ik dacht dat de homokineetjes eruit zouden springen! Uiteindelijk laadkabels erop en twintig minuten laden 👍. Kreeg wél een biertje aangeboden...
Plumber’s putty. Wouldn’t go anywhere without it. Unbelievably useful in all kinds of situations. Mould it to whatever you want and it sets rock solid.
That reminds me of when I was in the army some 30-odd years ago... My mate had a Cortina pick-up. Pretty common in South Africa in the eighties. What you wanted was the 3.0 V6 but this was the only other option: 1.6 litres of brute noise!). Now - as you do - we were banging around on an evening pass and were tooling down a dirt road. Me at the wheel, my mate navigating and two guys standing in the back, with a rum and coke each, holding on for life! My mate's navigation skills were below par that night and we ended up careening over the berm having missed the sharp right-hand bend at a rate of knots. Blasting to a standstill in a cloud of dust in the middle of the 'veld' we both turned around and found our mates in the back still holding on! They both still had their drink glasses in their hands but the contents had disappeared! All of us packed up laughing but we couldn't hear each other over the deafening clatter of a four-pot that sounded like a tractor. Turns out the manifold had cracked! Luckily that was all - they built them 'Ford Tough' back then 😀. We limped back to camp. Being medics we raided the storeroom for a couple of rolls of 'plaster-Paris' bandage which we proceeded to warp around the cracked manifold - just like fabricating a plaster cast for a broken arm. On the next weekend pass, we drove 200 miles to Johannesburg and it held pretty well but the heat buildup was enormous - red-hot glowing when we popped the bonnet halfway there... And by the time we were in the city, it was clattering like a John Deere again. Needless to say, it needed replacing. Which cost 1000 Rand at the time. A bridge too far when you're earning 200 Rand in the army and you had reserved this for beer, cigarettes and a tank of fuel. Luckily his father came to our rescue on the money front - but we felt rather pleased with ourselves as makeshift 'bush mechanics' at the age of 19 😂
4 gallons of water and a couple of gallons of diesel Fuses. Chocks and blocks. Decent power bar and selection of sockets for the wheel nuts. And to assist anyone struggling to undo their wheel nuts with the wanky wheelbrace provided with the shite jack in the middle of their spare. Talking of helping people who’ve got stuck , I towed out a smart black BMW that’d been parked nose down on a sloping wet and muddy grass car park. Couldn’t go forward cos it was up against a hedge and he certainly couldn’t get get it reverse even with three people pushing. 1961 Landy to the rescue. Didn’t get a drink or even a lot of thanks but I really enjoyed pulling him out . I let him grovel around under his low slung car attaching and then detaching the tow ropes trying very hard not to kneel in the mud or get messy. That was gratification enough!!
Thanks! Like it that your kit is also intended to assist others - proper land rover. Please could I recommend: 18" bolt cutters, for tricky wire etc; jack pad for soft ground; 18" x 1/2" breaker bar
Good common sense. Tire puncture repair kits (Southern Africa for sure). Diesel siphon pipe (because we always push the distance limit). Loved the wire.... 🤣.
Yes - puncture kit! Especially in South Africa - Back in the 80's I spent a tidy sum buying new tyres for my Renault5! (Puncture kit doesn't help when the whole sidewall has been munched 😂
How hard can it be to crack a wheel nut sometimes so a hollow steel bar to put over the brace for extra leverage you could fit it to the roof rack for ease of finding and storage
Some really awesome tools you have there! You are set to go anywhere! May I ask the rear door window on your defender is that standard or was it modified to suit your needs? Btw do you have a puncture repair kit? Loving these defender videos👍
The rear-door window is/was modified by the previous owner. It is now a perpex hinging window that you can flip open for ventilation (and also expalins the offset spare wheel carrier) Maybe I should do another walkaround explaining this 🤔 No puncture kit - good idea (but a new set of Wranglers on each corner 👍) Cheers!
too much duplication, far too much stuff, and heavy, use your kit to service 110 and see what you need, leave the rest at home, and no you don't really need a 6mm to 32 mm set, forgot to show the hammer ;-)

Liked the toolkit in silver case as everything had a place. I also carry a flashlight, windshield fluid, axe.

👌 Nice one!🤘😎
Nice set ! I also carry gasket sealer, superglue and most importantly a bag of randoms bolts

Yes! I forgot we have a crowbar amongst our camping gear (handy for shimmying the panhard rod back into place!)

I definitely need a fire extinguisher... just in case.
Love the videos, you crack me up.

Helpful video! Next... What spare parts live in our defender!
Coming soon! 😂

Cheers!
Clearly I’m carry shit I don’t need hahaha. Thanks for the tips 👍
😉😅 the trouble with these things is the exact tool you need on the roadside is the one you elected to leave in the garage...😆
One is none two is one
:-) Like the merchandise T-shirts. Seems there is a typo in the "Warning. ..." text :-) But maybe it's just the "after too many beers" version ;-)
😆 Did you buy one? Limited Edition! And now unavailable... 😂 Cheers!
@@ASimplyFabLife :-) (sadly) I didn't buy one of the exclusive limited edition - I'm not as think as you drunk I am ;-)
