Modified Shock Absorbers (Ep69 GrizzlyNbear Overland)

[@zaklajoie]

Nikolay is so talented. He has so much knowledge on many things.

[@leighdearle5965]

That's for sure, I learnt so much from him. Real old school skills where there is no option to jump online and order the new part he makes do with what he has 😊

[@Victorcreed85]

I had to let you both know. I discovered your channel maybe three days ago and i am absolutely addicted. As a huge overland, outdoor, hiking and cultural enthusiast, your channel is without a doubt the best. I enjoy watching both of you live and enjoy your lives together. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

[@leighdearle5965]

Wow thanks so much for the nice comment. We are really happy you are enjoying the videos. Today is a special day because we passed 10k subscribers 😊

this is a funny video to watch AFTER binge watching from 75 to 103(present) yesterday. So many things mentioned in this video go so wrong or can be called regrets.

[@matts2959]

I have been followed your travel and seen different places and locals you share with us. It was fantastic, and I loved it. Especially the LandRover Defender, even continually having an issue but still love the SUV. LOL. Great Works and Thanks

[@badgerpa9]

Man if you only knew how wrong you could be when you change your transmission fluid next. LOL good video even as a rerun.

Bill will be happy to know. How lucky are we !

[@Reaper4367]

Now if you have of been in a major western nation, getting that mod done to your shockies woulda cost you a fortune. 'Outback' ingenuity right there mate ;) Putting Bear to bed with Grizz, well deserved rest. Nicely done leaving the rear legs taking the static load. looks like another layer of paint on the camper and it wouldna fit. lol. Top tier stuff. Cheers for sharing :)

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Ho just saw your awesome message. thank you. I think there is a big layer of dust on top of Grizzly now, we might have to let the tyre pressure down to get out. Tomorrow is the big day. ON THE ROAD AGAIN.

Great Thursday! Finally a little rain after a week of 30-35 C temperatures. And new video!!. Interesting and I learned something, despite I know quite a little, about mechanics... this channel has it all. Also you learn french too... and get your ear used to aussie accent (difficult sometimes, but enjoyable). Like always.. a HUGE PURA VIDA GUYS!!!! Did I answer properly your last question?

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Rain is life ! Hopefully more of it for you. We are glad you found the channel informative. 😉 Get ready for some heavy Australian accent next week !!!

[@tonydownunder5703]

You know I've watched this episode about 4 times how. Just love the way that old bloke did the shockers 👍👍 Jack of all trades 👍👍👍. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@husq2100]

Something to consider about shock absorbers. Any brand has specific valving for a given model of shock. If you have bought a second and it’s not the same, good chance it has different valving. May or may not be a problem but worth considering. The terrafirma stuff doesn’t seem to be holding up to well... keep a close eye on your front radius arms, at the welds, especially around the eye for the axle housing bushes. Safe travels

[@SUVTouring]

awesome !...just found you guys , and cheers from Brissy !!!

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Thank's and welcome to our channel then. Hope you will have a great time watching few of our adventures. Have fun in Oz mate.

[@таянахаким]

Удачи вам

[@MrXyzasdf]

Lee, Regarding your axles, are you sure you are not over your gross vehicle weight? In addition perhaps a tweaked axle housing?

[@leighdearle5965]

We are right at our limit of 3.5 ton. For sure I think we have a slightly bent rear axle casing. We are pretty sure it was an existing problem that came with the vehicle. After we machined back the half shaft in the area it was rubbing I checked it regularly in the following months. At some stage I will replace with a reinforced rear axle.

That's so nice of you, we are planning to ship from Japan to North America next year so please keep in touch. Definitely more Landcruisers than Defenders.

Another great episode... would like to know more about your 2nd Fuel Filter that u have installed on your Puma... Maybe some video or photos as to how and where you installed the 2nd Filter? I'm wanting to also install a 2nd Fuel Filter on my '09 Defender :)

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

It is a great piece of équipement and piece of mind if you are traveling thru countries where the quality is unsure. Ours is 30 microns if I remember correctly. Let us take some pics and we could post on Insta story for example.

[@robmacca67]

GrizzlyNbear Overland That would be very helpful as u know there’s not a lot of room in the engine to install a secondary fuel filter, so any photos of your setup would be 👍

[@leighdearle5965]

@@robmacca67 our pre filter is installed above our rear axle casing in front of the diesel tank. It's a pre filter so it needs to be before the standard filter. The standard filter on a 130 is passenger side rear wheel arch mounted on the chassis.

@@leighdearle5965 Thanks Leigh, but unfortunately with me having a 110 Puma Wgn, room to install 1 prior to the normal OEM filter is not possible from what I can see...

Salut a vous deux , je vous suit depuis quelques temps , j'aurais une question , avec quel budget vous êtes partis ?

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Bonjour !! Difficile d apporter une réponse précise car avec l accident on a perdu bcp... puis on a reconstruit en mieux car ... pourquoi pas, on n a qu une vie et notre def c est notre maison. Sans compter le véhicule et en fonction de ses habitudes de vie et pays il est possible de vivre avec 800 euros / 1500 euros par mois. C est tres variable car certains aime les restaurants et d autre vivent de pain et de riz. Il peut y avoir des imprévus hélas. (Problème mécanique) Les prix des visas varient selon les pays. Le trajet choisi . (Shipping ?) Le carburant : dès que l on quitte l Europe on ne stress plus à la station. 0,46cts/L en Turquie. Il a y a site fabuleux de nos amis qui details tres bien cela Landcruising Adventure.

Guys I don't know why people just don't use the Koni Heavy Track on a 90 or a 110 if the 110 is not being used for heavy off road work and for heavy work (of all types both on and off road) long hauls etc, go the Koni Raids. For a 130 its easy, Raids all round, just select what height you need for the rear set. Best made damper's out there, period, in my opinion. www.koni.com/en-US/Cars/Products/OffRoad/

It is a small danish transportation company (www.kvmarkussen.dk/) - wonder how he got that one? Are you having a break from overlanding now? And when du you return?

dude this truck breaks parts so much, I own a f250 2006 gas engine with a huge tinyhouse. I did many more miles across the entire continent and never break anything major. We also reached 2800m peak mountains during canadian winter in 2016, it did very well. seriously forget landrover its a money pit compare to Ford pick up trucks or toyotas

[@sammatt1356]

I did drove a lot near and in war zones. I highly recommend you not to wear a camouflaged jackets, pants and etc. In border with Tajikistan and other places you going to visit. In such places man in camo means only one thing friend or foe and visa versa. So please in such places put anything what looks as part of military or paramilitary uniform and gear away. Just for sake of safety.

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Thanks . We already thought about that. 😉 and Leigh don't wear it at borders. (It was a gift from a Turkish military) already the car looks like a military car , a little.

No offence but I mostly see you and your vehicle in garage than on the road. Why don't you buy some nice sturdy vehicle.

Why not a Toyota Landcruiser or hilux landrover is such a waist of money the amount of maintenance you do is not worth it
