Give us a Brake ! (293)

[@AndyM...]

Welcome back and great to see people willing to help when you're in need. Safe Travels !!!

[@divemonster9636]

People in Southern Africa are always so helpful. Imagine this would happen in Europe ?? The Urban Campsite is a great camping spot - if you consider that they are in the middle of the city - even more great. Enjoy Namibia. Bernd from Germany

It is a Landy thing. :)

[@RevN3]

Oh man, I would spend a LOT of time at that Land Rover graveyard!

[@alwynvanwyk1851]

Same here... Landy Heaven on Earth.... Years ago, Pon Steyn, RSA, was the same... Spent plenty time there, dreaming....

[@cyclemoto8744]

Great to see you on the road again. Cheers

[@AJB1]

Probably worth changing the other 3 brake flexis when you get a chance. If one's gone, the others might be on their way, and the downside of braided is that you can't see what state they're in under the braid. You really don't want it to burst under pressure if you have to do an emergency stop sometime. Great to see GrizzlyNbear back out of storage!

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Definitely doing that at the next opportunity. We will replace all 4 😊

[@badgerpa9]

Stay safe and healthy.

[@stevestott1514]

Aw grizzly and bear are sure looking good with that new setup . So happy to see you both back on the road again . Wow now I would have to spend hours at that landy yard , and just think of all the stores those old landys could tell of past adventures . And man you just have to love the landy community of people all over the world . Looking forward to seeing your next video . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) 🌍☕️🍻👍🏼😁

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Thank you Steve. We have some nice content and we are very excited to share it soon. I went for a walk amongst all those abandoned Landies and I could only imagine all the stories they could tell. Especially the one with the bullets holes on the windscreen.

[@stevestott1514]

[@andrewjones-productions]

Well, that nearly put the brakes on your travels! Glad you could get it fixed in good time.

[@limkuanseng5616]

Very clean under carriage

[@Fe_lix]

Ohh cool to see the Compotrip and their cute Hiace in your video !

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

They were so cool. Awesome van with so much character 😍

That yard of Oli's is paradise…

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Absolutely! So many potential projects...

Wonderful 😊 great to see you back on track very excited to enjoy Africa with both of you have a wonderful 👍 time ❤❤😊

[@FergHyde]

I'm not overly familiar with this channel so now I'm going to have to subscribe and go back through your uploads about where you purchased the abode on the back of your 130 and how you set it up.

[@steve2meter]

Great to see you back on the road. Safe travels

[@garyverster1099]

14:20 why is there no rubber grommet where the braided hose goes through the chassis

[@sinastbarth7563]

Aaaaah les Defender ... toujours une petite panne sous le tapis ! Merci pour le partage de votre cool vie

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

C'était juste une gentille petite panne. Ainsi on a pu faire la rencontre avec Ollie. Un mec incroyable, passionné et on a échangé plein d'histoires incroyables.

[@PabloP169]

It is surprising how much can go wrong with just being parked for a few months and you even thought of protecting the tyres. safe travels.

[@porcobene_media]

It’s also sometimes surprising what can happen if you drive it :D Or, let’s say: Something can happen with a Landy at any random time. But i wish we would have those many experts to help over here in Germany.

[@grahamwest1079]

Something for your spare parts box a front and rear flexible brake hose perhaps, but 8 years use and getting to meet Ollie may have been one of those experiences to add to your memories rather than having an easy fix.

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

That is exactly right !!! Ollie is a legend. We had a great time with him. Very passionate, very meticulous, very knowledgeable guy. He didn't want me to film too much because he though that his workshop was a mess. Yet, it was super clean and organised. He is rebuilding an incredible Def. Next level perfection.

[@ralfkruse7565]

The break line didn't break from standing 5 months in a hangar, she couldn't stand the pressure seeing you back again! Drive safe, have Fun!

[@Schla-Gulp]

It's great that you can meet such nice people like Olli on your trip. I'm always amazed at how nice and friendly everyone is there. When I take my car to a garage on a Saturday, everyone is always unfriendly and stressed.

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

It's incredible and never ceases to amaze us. The Land Rover community is so special. The mechanics are more than just mechanics. And we are (almost) always allowed in. Working together. Big family.

[@mountainman599]

Olivia and Paul are very where😉 In the storage, we saw a nice Series 80 build by Tip Toy 74 in French Alps, cool

[@alwynvanwyk1851]

Welcome back to Mamma Afrika, you two... Now I can sit back again and smell the dusty roads of your exploration and journey.... Long live the REAL DEFENDER, no offence to the new Pretender/ Offender... 💪🏻 🇿🇦 💪🏻

[@rittonhlt2924]

Bonne continuation Bonne route 😊😊

[@vincentpoole7588]

G/B. Surprised your Classic Defender is still running factory brake rotors ! ! Was there any thought when leaving Perth, W.A. or during an RSA rebuild to upgrade the braking system then ? ? V.

[@etcoltd5149]

Good videos..come to Kenya .u are welcome

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Thank you. One day for sure we will make it to Kenya.

Still started on the first shot. What a beast!

Votre reprise du Land vous a causé quelques soucis. Heureusement beaucoup de personnes bien attentionnées dans votre entourage, mais on ne peut pas vous refuser tellement vous êtes adorables. Bonne continuation 👍👏😘

[@grahameroberts8109]

Are you going to do the Wolfberg Cracks?

[@businesspins5825]

Always little breakages. My 300Tdi had to have its bonnet release cable replaced as it wouldnt pull to release anymore. 3 hours of labour for a R300 part - lol

I LIVE IN THE USA AND EACH SUMMER I VISIT SRI LANKA WHERE I AM ORIGINALLY FROM. THE HILUX LN 106 IS PARKED IN A GARAGE FOR 10 MONTHS STRAIGHT WHILE I AM AWAY AND IS READY EVERY TIME I START HER UP! JUST ENGINE OIL, COOLANT AND TIRE PRESSURE CHECK IS ALL IT NEEDS...

[@KevIsOffGrid]

So as well as the LiFePO4 in the back you still have an aux battery, I guess for when you split the rig in 2?

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

You're right mate we do. That's what needed replacing. We can charge phones, drone, camera etc via the auxiliary battery when the vehicle is off and not drain the starter battery.

[@cameronwood1994]

I remember the first time I stepped inside Cymot in Windhoek on my travels in 2023 and I was absolutely staggered. It puts our outdoor and camping shops in the UK to shame! Midas is good too. By the way, do you have a link to the person you got your flexible hose from? I'm back there again in 15 months time and as you know contacts are everything.

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Yes how good are the outdoor stores ! All the braai and camping stuff. There is an other very good one. Agra Safari Den. Send us an email so we can give you Ollie's details.

[@cameronwood1994]

@@GrizzlyNbearOverland Cheers, sending you an email now. I'll take a look of Agra Safari Den - not heard of that one. I normally stay at Puccini House when I'm in Windhoek, about a 10 minute walk from Cymot.

Hi, what light guards are you using on the front please? Cheers Mike

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

They are from Raptor 4x4 from many years ago. Not sure the model...

[@Lee_Proffit]

Did you manage to find out why the aux battery drained ?

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

No I'm still not sure... May have been one usb charger we left in a socket that had a little led light. Next time I'll physically disconnect the Aux as well.

[@Lee_Proffit]

@@GrizzlyNbearOverland That would be a good move Stay safe

[@grahameroberts8109]

@@GrizzlyNbearOverland Instal one of those isolator switches for each battery. That will save having to disconnect the cables. Safe travels and be aware of politics. Cheers 🙏👍🏻🦘

[@businesspins5825]

Where are you guys off to next?

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

We were hoping to do Lesotho and Eswatini but we cannot get our Carnet extended so we're thinking either Mozambique or Zimbabwe...

[@businesspins5825]

@ Oh dear. Sorry to hear. The South African government is useless at tourist admin. You should check out Botswana (Okavango, Makadikadi), and then visit Victoria falls on way to Zim. Mozambique are having some issues at the moment. Elections didn’t go well. Could be some civil war stuff. After Zim, should go to Lake Malawi, and then on to Tanzania for a decent Safari. God Speed 💪🏼

[@alwynvanwyk1851]

​ Don't forget the Caprivi ( Zambesi ) on your way to Zimbabwe.... Zambia, and Malawi....? Botswana : Tshodilo Hills, Drotsky's Caves, Moremi, Savute, Chobe, Planet Boabab at Gweta, Kubu Island, Khama Rhino Sanctuary... bla bla bla... Long way back to Lesotho or "Swaziland", but would not suggest entering Mozambique from the North.. Enjoy enjoy enjoy.

It’s always something. I have to rebuild my front end. The swivel balls are shot and the rotors 😳

A Puma with no ABS, thats strange your model should even have full traction control.

@on7bps That's interesting. I know that some Td5's came with ABS, but didn't know it was an option on the Pumas.
