ASIA OVERLAND (Ep14) - Tajikistan in our Land Rover Defender

[@VISTATREKKER]

I love the way Yak and the absolute simplicity of its overland kit just starts to look more and more ‘in place’ the closer you get to the furthest corners of the earth. Great job to all of you. Wishing you many more miles up ahead in 2023.

[@yakoverland4543]

We really felt the simpler we had Yak, the easier it would be if stuff went wrong! Yak certainly tested that theory! 😂

Nothing like a bit of bush mechanic improvisation and the Landy is up and running again.

[@yakoverland4543]

Land Rovers just go on and on 💪

What a lovely episode and friendship!

Thanks Lars :)

Wow this is such a dream destination 😍. Awesome video guys!

[@yakoverland4543]

It really was stunning! Thanks so much guys :)

[@lester247]

Loving the scenery & your interaction with the kind & generous local people. We’ve done similar in Morocco . Inspired to get out again soon in our defender.

[@yakoverland4543]

It was such a stunning country with such amazing people! We’re hopefully heading to Morocco this summer! Where are you based?

[@lester247]

@@yakoverland4543 we are in Saltash. I heard mention of you having part’s delivered to Turkey by Brookwells of Plymouth, so you might be quit close

[@London2Singapore]

wonderful videos guys! I am setting out from London to Singapore in August. Hoping to do the Pamir Highway and Gorno-Badakhshan then into China after Kyzyl-Art Pass/Sary Tash. Safe travels!

[@yakoverland4543]

Wow that sounds like an amazing trip! What vehicle are you taking?

[@London2Singapore]

Sorry for delay! We are taking two Defender 2.2 110’s ! Have a question if I may: did you have any worries about the drone in the stans (I understand they are technically banned in Uzbekistan?).

[@LandRoverDS2020]

Just subscribed Got to hand it to you two traveling far from home in a LR that needs special attention and tender loving care and on roads that could take your life in a second. My hats off to you guys. Keep the videos coming and look forward to the adventure. Your choice in music is excellent also. Andrew

[@yakoverland4543]

Thanks Andrew, that means a lot ☺️it was great learning some stuff on the road to keep Yak going in sticky situations!

Wait for ages, then 2 come in quick succession. Looking forward - may comment again after watching all of it :)

[@yeraye.falcon2709]

Hey guys, watched all of your videos, very inspirational! Aren’t you afraid of having a serious breakdown in the middle of nowhere, like something you can’t fix yourselves? As someone who’d like to embark in such a journey at some point, this is always haunting me. What would you do in such case?

[@yakoverland4543]

Hey 👋 we did know that was a possibility. Breaking down is pretty much inevitable on a big trip - we just try to make sure it is as mechanically strong as possible before we left - focussing on the big things (clutch, engine etc)

[@vrum497]

A great view at least where you broke down! What year is Yak? And how many miles on the clock? Just found your channel must check out the earlier videos!

[@paulkelly8456]

She is a 1997, 2.5 Diesel with a recorded 147k miles on the clock. As she is 25 I imagine she is on the second round of the clock. Has had a lot of issues with her MOTs down through the years. They are wonderful old cars and I have a little beauty myself. A 2007 SWB Puma Stationwagon with just a guaranteed 205k kilometres completed. Witnessing the travails of the couple with Yak it is sad but nonetheles understandable why the Toyota Landcruiser has replaced the Landy in every sphere where once she reigned supreme.

[@yakoverland4543]

It was a beautiful place to break down! Yak is a 1997 Land Rover with roughly 100,000 miles on the clock (as far as we know). Hope you enjoy the other videos! ☺️

[@paulkelly8456]

@@yakoverland4543 As far as you know ? Maybe you might take a quick peek at the MOT website. You will find it is a bit of an eye opener.

More defender brake downs I see, more I know I will buy a troopy when I can afford it!

[@yakoverland4543]

So easy to fix though! ;)

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

If you think they don’t breakdown like any other vehicle you are in for a shock.

[@Wolfthe110]

Good luck with your ECU 🙃

Yak limped on through 😂

[@gavinmcjannet7231]

We had a nightmare getting in in our right hand drive Landy, took 7 hours of arguing. Best place though, with interesting drivers @bigskydaze_

[@yakoverland4543]

Oh really? We had no issues with RHD fortunately 😮‍💨 some very interesting drivers 😅
