10 Mechanical tips EVERY 4WDer should know! HOW TO DIAGNOSE & REPAIR YOUR 4WD AT HOME

[@vevohoeyo]

Jocko.. the only one from 24/7 who knows anything about vehicles

[@michaelblair4744]

That's a bit harsh...Shauno knows heaps about Toyotas and now he's finding out what he's been missing since he's had Darryl. And Graham, well he knows heaps about Isuzu's and Bee-ah.

Jocko is the perfect addition to the team, super knowledgeable bloke and a bloody good sense of humour. Awesome to see Rocket Rob there, another super knowledgeable bloke 🙌🏾

[@logik1677]

how does one even get this knowledge? diesel mechanic?

[@deanehill9730]

Well done Jocko, very clear explanation of what to look out for. Thanks.

[@and7976]

If you want a reliable and low maintenance 4x4 that you can daily drive then don't lift more than 2" and don't put tires larger than 33", you will save a lot of money and your rig will last much longer and be more reliable. You can do 95% of tracks with a setup like that.

[@cayman9873]

Thats what i want to do once i buy a sequoia.. which is not exactly starting as an off road monster. I just want to overland and have a bit more capability.. no crazy stuff or rock crawling.

[@jonhill9564]

@@cayman9873 I love my Sequoia! Best vehicle I've ever had - would make a great overlanding rig. A locker at front or rear would sure be nice, but stock they're fairly capable.

[@anthonyramdin1037]

@@jonhill9564 the only thing with the front locker and IFS is that cv's break easier with locker engaged

[@glennhook2180]

Graham proves that all the time. On the rare occasion when he goes around stuff it's usually something I wouldn't want to try anyway!

[@philsymons9614]

Jocko, you really looked in your element in that vid! The passion you have for all things mechanical on your 4wbie shines like a pair of 100watt spotties on the bullbar! Thanks for the tips and tricks you shared, I reckon you should start a new series "Jocko's Toolbox"

[@matsvineyard7564]

Rocket Rod needs a good physio on that right shoulder. Do it brother. would love to see you back.

[@jayeyoung513]

When adding a lift kit in a vehicle with a rear break bias valve ensure you adjust that valve.

[@Darndiddlyarn]

Ever since I lifter my ute my rear brakes have been a lot longer wearing, it's awesome.

[@hodgoes2001]

@@Darndiddlyarn umm.... that means they ain't working like they should.. you need to adjust the rear brake bias... You will find in heavy braking your front wheels will lock up well before your back ones causing you to not stop as quickly and you are more likey to loose control of the 4wd

[@Darndiddlyarn]

[@yolo4wd]

Just replaced all 4 U-joints on my 2010 FJ after 10 yrs of service among U.S, Panama and now Canada. I'm no mechanic, but getting to know my car over the years has taught me to diagnose some issues like bad U-joints shaking from 65 to 70mph and up. Great to see these kind of videos from you guys. Keep it up.

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

Probably the most useful 4x4 videos I have ever seen. If you own a 90 series Tojo, keep a close on on the LBJs, if they go your front wheel can fall off!

[@MoonKnightH8]

Awesome video, can you do a tutorial on how to replace all these problems that could happen, that be great!!!

[@jcproductions007]

awesome idea for next vid, well said mate !

[@swokstubbs4988]

Pretty good video Jocko! Glad to see Rocket Rod again, he needs a trip soon!

[@frankenbeans1967]

After a cape York trip change your cabin filter. Ours was like a red brick.

[@mullerandre95]

Great to see you are giving a bit of sound advice. One thing you overlooked tho was breathers. The next question is what do you take with in the line of spares? My Pajero I take bearings, cv shaft, unis, lubes & service parts with. I also throw some odds and sods in my toolbox. A cool tip I got was that if you buy "o" ring kits pay a bit more and buy the green "aircon" set they can apparently take much more abuse.

[@hanakawhiacassidywhiu3385]

Rocket rod needs to come back on the next trip

[@caltravels9454]

Jocko is the best thing that ever happened to 4X4 Action/4WD247, actually understands engineering and puts it forward, and has a great comic effect to go with Grayo and Shauno.

[@Rayankady]

one of THE best videos on KZbin. Hands down

[@ryanhayden5389]

Just started to watch 4x4 24/7 better than anything iv seen on tv great crack oz looks amazing would love to go to Australia to try it but I dont own a bank so probably never happen but its fantastic to watch the guys do there stuff and love the fact they clean up other people's rubbish shame on them people who litter such an amazing country keep up the great work lads 🤙🤙

[@tommowall]

Love a great video where you actually learn something useful. Also learnt Rodney has a loose CV joint in his right shoulder...he should get that checked out :)

[@BigTravo777]

You should invite a 4wd24/7 fan over and do a maintenance check over the fans 4wd, it'll teach them some stuff and the ones watching eg shauno does one in Brisbane, Graham in WA, jock in Sydney etc etc

[@justinfreeman]

Great tips. Thanks very much, confirmed a few things for my next service.

[@Shane-Singleton]

Great tips, Jocko! Also don't forget to check that brake fluid. Over time it'll attract moisture and start to contaminate the system. It's a little bit of a pain to flush and bleed the system but if out of all system failures having the brakes go when you need them is probably one of the most dangerous.

[@jamiewilliams3609]

Washing the vehicle correct as well to proven rust and seized parts and also cleaning surfaces and spray painting them as well to keep the metal sealed

[@5RORR]

I really enjoyed this video, very informative! I love how Jock explained everything-he made it very easy to understand, and I learned several new things just from this video alone! (I know this is an old video, I’ve been busy this past year and I’m playing catch-up!)

[@wing-itoffroad7841]

Well done video! Good points Jocko

[@doctorwarpspeed8779]

Probably too late for anyone to see this but I have a tip with the cooling system. Never cheap out on radiator caps, buy OEM. The aftermarket ones regularly fail pressure tests, many times letting the coolant system over pressure. This can cause old radiators to start leaking, hoses, water pump seals and even head gaskets to start failing. I speak from personal experience. My "japan spec" made in China cap opened at 29 psi, the OEM Toyota part at 16. Spend the extra few bucks and buy the correct part. You can get away with plenty of aftermarket stuff, don't risk it with the radiator cap.

Before changing gearbox fluid in an auto, check for slip codes beforehand. Then check afterwards. That is, more modern vehicles that can be electronically diagnosed.
