An addition to number 10 (radio location). I have mine mounted so I don't have to remove it from its mount to talk. It keeps you from fumbling around, especially when replacing the mic. I also use a product called 'magnetic mic'. The mic or the hand held is kept in place by a strong magnet. It makes it really easy to put back into place compared with the normal 'clips'. You don't have to take your eyes off the road when replacing the mic.
+Ronny Dahl I always crack my window open about 5 cm to hear the vehicle engine better and listen for debris caught under the chassis. Great video as always.
Also a handy tip, when driving through water that is around door height. all windows up turn on your fan and use recirculating air. this will suck the door seals in creating a vacuum seal and stop water from seeping in.
I really appreciate your tips and wisdom shared from all your adventures - and I enjoy watching your adventures too! I also like your daggy sense of humour. Thanks.
I know it's a year old but just watched and this is very good. As fa as seat belt laws in the USA most states it is mandatory, but many like here in Florida the police can't pull you over for not wearing a seat belt they can only stop you for something else then fine you for no belt. I did break a thumb once when I had a Toyota FJ40 I will never hold the wheel wrong again
I'm really envious of you chaps in Oz, having all that space to explore. We have people called ramblers in the UK who have managed to shut down about 75% of the country side to vehicles. Off roading in the UK consists of pay and play sites and the occasional green lane. Perhaps I need a long Holiday over there. Keep up the great work
Hi Ron, Greetings from Maryland, the land of pleasant living. I just discovered your videos today and really enjoyed them. I dont know if you had mentioned any suggestions that I plan to suggest. Where I live the terrain has a variety of changes to clay steep hills and in Western, some rock climbing. In the mid 80's, I was driving a 1972 Chevrolet Blazer K-5 with a 4 inch lift. Which was a little too much for the front at the time. So there was always a spare front drive shaft as the angle on the front was to sharp and would tear up u-joints. Out in the mud, it is earlier to just change the driveshaft than u-joints. There would always be a hi-lift jack to lift the truck up and then push the truck sideways over the the rock or whatever your problem may be. Also tire spoons can always be nice as well as an 8 foot pry bar. Sorry if I took to much time. Please let me know you you need any hard to find parts. Regards Scott
You're right about me not thinking about the dimmer. It would never offer to me while talking about it, although I did dim my dash lights would of the way the one time I've been off road at night. Didn't have to think about all that much: just figured it would help, and it did.
Keep the footwell clear, sage advice. My uncle almost killed his family when a ball rolled forward (from the children in the back) and jammed under the break.
Good tips Ronny. I also change the angle of the seat back, climbing or terrain which rocks the vehicle a lot I put the seat back in a more upright position, helps lock you in place better esp. With the seat belt.
Comment on tip number 10 ,Radios. I mounted my VHF radio in the glove compartment. The reason I did is to basally keep it hidden and out of the way. Haven’t had any problems yet, works quite well!
Greatly appreciate the advises. Practical one from first hand. Always good way to learn things. Very helpful for me ( as a novice in off-road ) and think for other newbies. Well done. Excellent channel.
Hey There from America Ronny! My friends and I all subscribe to your channel and love your videos!! There’s 3 things we would like. 1st - A list of everything on your vehicle. Not gear but equipment. All the mods like lights, roll bar, snorkel, tires, suspension, in the engine bay, antennas etc. 2nd - a list of all the gear you keep in your vehicle. Stuff like two-way radios, communication equipment, tools, recovery gear, seat covers, stove, refrigerator or ice box, shovels, everything. And last but not least 3rd - You here in America!!! Something like getting together with me and my friends for some off-road adventures!! Or maybe we, or just me, come over there. It’d be a blast either way! That’s it lol Love the videos! Happy trails mate
Great Great video! Have wanted to put together something similar but you covered things very well! Will just link people to you. Pretty sure most states require seat belts here in the states and agree on or off road a seat belt can help keep you safe before a accident by keeping you firmly in place so you can control the vehicle. Only thing you skipped (or maybe lucky enough not to know)is having things well secured. Having rolled a few jeeps just having pocket change thrown in your face hurts! Keep up the great video as I find them fun and spot on. Also Ronny I'm leaving on a 6,500 km overland trip from Southern California to Alaska today. I invite you to follow along, Brad
+Adventure Brad 6500 km trip, Alaska... That sounds epic! Have fun. Guessing you guys carry 12 gauge for bears up that way. Also thanks for the feedback
What’s the name of that seat organiser you have on the passenger seat? I have to say that the one complaint my friends and I have for just about everyone’s 4x4 videos is not providing the product name of stuff they show. Like the seat organiser in this video. It looks great but what’s it called and/or where can I get it? See what I mean? All in all though we love your videos the most!! Please keep them coming! Happy trails mate
For the bumpy rocks I just use the choke dial on the Hilux, holds 1.5k revs easy without needing to use your feet which can slip. Especially when they're wet pushing on the side won't help much i suggest rigging up throttle control if you do this sort of 4x4 alot. You'll thank me for it lol.
just an ote, not every car has dimming interior display lights, our Navara D22 DX 4wd does not but aint much a problem cos the lights arent very bring. Now in the Subaru thats a different story, dash lights always on and super bright and very adjustable
Hello Ronny. I love all your videos and watch them all the time and even repeats. I learned alot from your page and would like to buy one of your shirts. I cant find it on your website so please let me know where to get one. Keep up the great videos.
Seat belt use depends on where I'm going and how familiar I am with the tracks. If I'm driving around the beaches somewhere I've been 1000 times I won't use a seat belt, especially if I'm just out of the water. If I'm dune driving it's always on, if I have to go into low range it goes on, or if I'm on the road of course.
A mate showed me a trick with the seat belt. Put a drink bottle inbetween you and the seat buckle so if incase you roll over or any other reason you have all your weight on the belt you can open the lid and it will loosen it enough most of the time to undo and with being stuck on a hill or angle and you need to talk your belt off you can put a paper clip on the belt so it wont retract so it can be put back on easily when the going gets tough
You usually have a antenna on the left side of your brush guard. It looks like it might be a HF radio antenna that is tun-able. Are you a Ham (amateur) radio operator? If so, why do you not do a video on the advantages of having this type f radio when you are traveling in the outback.
Hi...Ronny thanks for uploading this useful video..i have noticed you have fixed a door speaker mount on your door.. Is it a custom made plastic one or a ready made one.. Please let me know where to buy if is a ready made product.. Is it very hard to fix a door speaker to a 70 series cruser because of the inner door stopper..thx
In Tennessee it is most certainly the law that you have to wear a seat belt, you can be pulled over and fined for not wearing, I’m pretty sure it’s the same for the other 49 states as well.
American here. In regards to the seat belts, you are actually wrong. Every US State with the exception of New Hampshire require seat belt use for adults.
FYI - in the US you generally have to use your seat belt. If the police find you without it they may fine you. It is against the law to not be belted in.
Hey mate. Quick one, what about water crossings with windows and seat belts? I was always taught drive a water crossing with my window down and with no seatbelt on.
It never occurred to me to remove my seat belt in a water crossing but it totally makes sense. I usually have the windows down all of the time, and mine are hand crank so I don't have to worry about the power window not working.
what kind of seat organizer did you buy, I have looked everywhere for something similar as yours and can't find it at all. Everything these days has mesh pockets, which I don't really want.
+Dane Lovell I'm not sure what brand mine is as I got it of a mate years ago but boab do one and if you google seat organizer you can find heaps of kids ones which are actually cheaper and will do the same job.
Mandatory seat belt laws in the United States started getting enforced... I'm not sure. 2010? Give or take. I am in Texas. No mandatory helmet laws for motorcyclists here right now, but I think that's different in Louisiana.
im in perth too.......do you do 4wd camping trips that we can attend? also let me know if you want help with more or better vehicle signage ;-) (best signwriter in town. over 30yrs exp) cheers m8
+Shedz Channel we do tag along trips and sometimes followers can join us on adventure trips but there aren't any planned for the next few months that aren't full already

#7, I also keep the windows closed on muddy terrain. So when I get home I dont neet to clean the back seats neither the roof inside the truck! ;)
+Ronny Dahl I always crack my window open about 5 cm to hear the vehicle engine better and listen for debris caught under the chassis. Great video as always.
+InMused I tend to do the same most of the time. Good point to bring up

Seatbelt use here in the USA is pretty much universal and has been for many years. Thanks for the great tips.
when you go in the water, windows down and no belts. Hello.
agree, specifically during deep water crossings. Saves the precious time if required (god forbid).
I think you are thinking helmets, States side is a steep fine for no seatbelts. Helmet laws vary by state. Great Vid !
+Andrew Hadjipetrou
helmets? really?
+Shedz Channel He's referring to motorcycles

friend that was excellent... especially 1,2,3,4 jajajajavery good. thanks for the tips
Man I love your land crusier. I bet that would cost $100,000 here in the states, with all your mods.
+grantlandneil it cost that here to
Wow. Guess I picked the wrong career lol
Costs that without any mods
around 75,000-80,000 for the gxl duelcab like this one
Thanks for the tips Ronny!
another great video Ronny, thanks! when will the top ten things to bring be out?
+Jason Parker hopefully next Sunday or the one after.
just an ote, not every car has dimming interior display lights, our Navara D22 DX 4wd does not but aint much a problem cos the lights arent very bring. Now in the Subaru thats a different story, dash lights always on and super bright and very adjustable
Love the videos ronny
I like u when u pop out in every new video 😂
very good tips here, that number 6 went out of control :)
Hello Ronny.
I love all your videos and watch them all the time and even repeats.
I learned alot from your page and would like to buy one of your shirts. I cant find it on your website so please let me know where to get one.

Tip #6 - how do you attach the iPad mini to the visor? And read my previous comment please
Happy trails mate
You usually have a antenna on the left side of your brush guard. It looks like it might be a HF radio antenna that is tun-able. Are you a Ham (amateur) radio operator? If so, why do you not do a video on the advantages of having this type f radio when you are traveling in the outback.
Great video.... Enjoyed it :)
How do you like those General Grabbers?
I hated mine. Horrible for on road use but surprisingly ok in mud.
Hi...Ronny thanks for uploading this useful video..i have noticed you have fixed a door speaker mount on your door.. Is it a custom made plastic one or a ready made one.. Please let me know where to buy if is a ready made product.. Is it very hard to fix a door speaker to a 70 series cruser because of the inner door stopper..thx
Great info Ronny.
Just wondering about your steering wheel cover.
Any recommendations?
In Tennessee it is most certainly the law that you have to wear a seat belt, you can be pulled over and fined for not wearing, I’m pretty sure it’s the same for the other 49 states as well.
In the bush too?
Great Tips Ronny Dahl! One question my friend: what model of camcorder do you used?
Seat belt saved my life when my friend rolled her truck in June 2015. My Jeep won't move unless your all buckled.
Unless you're in deep water?
I'm tilting steering wheel right up for easy access. Especially if you got long legs.
American here. In regards to the seat belts, you are actually wrong. Every US State with the exception of New Hampshire require seat belt use for adults.
Correct, except I believe in most states back seat passengers over 18 aren't required to wear seat belts.
I don't know about that, but I know that most in the Midwest (I'm from Wisconsin) require everyone to wear seatbelts.
Technically (In America): You must wear seatbelts when on public roads. Private property or offroad, you are not required to wear a seatbelt.
Lol I like that tree countdown :)
Well done!
yeah here in the states it's the law you have to wear seatbelts now, they say "click it or ticket"
I am all set after watch this video, just need a 4*4
Thank you very much !!!
I love Your LC.
Hi Mate,
THX 4 the Tips,
FYI - in the US you generally have to use your seat belt. If the police find you without it they may fine you. It is against the law to not be belted in.
do a review on the general grabbers
For some reason I really want to prank someone with a snorkel by replacing the top with something really phallic looking. Ha ha.
Good stuff
Hey mate. Quick one, what about water crossings with windows and seat belts? I was always taught drive a water crossing with my window down and with no seatbelt on.
It never occurred to me to remove my seat belt in a water crossing but it totally makes sense. I usually have the windows down all of the time, and mine are hand crank so I don't have to worry about the power window not working.
Tried the footwell thing, not enough resistance of the footwell or my boots
Thank you
How is lower back lumbar support on the LC 79? I drive an Isuzu KB 250 like the Dmax, I need to have a small cushion for my lower back...
OR, just wire in winch control to your dash for those exact situations
Seat belt use is required in the US.

seatbelt use is mandatory in the US
What brand is the car seat organiser?
#2 won't work too well in the states because of the drivers side being on the left hand side
