TRAVEL TESTING MY 2.8 Auto LANDCRUISER

[@xavierevitt9107]

Just a tip for anyone doing Cape peron, you definitely dont need a 76 or any high end 4wd. Me and my family did it in 2 stock pajeros and me in my 2003 rodeo. As long as you keep your tyre pressures low and your momentum up you'll make it

[@stevesmith3556]

I'm finding lately that simplicity is a blessing. I bought a rooftop tent that sets up and down in 30 seconds, have a dual battery for lights and fridge in the back of the wagon wired to the tent, and 270degs of awning. I can be up and out in about 10 mins with no exhausting pack up.

And most importantly…don’t bring 3 passengers!

Fantastic episode, thanks for the training on how to smooth out the holes. Basic camping makes life simpler, and easier to get back to nature and chill. Flies in WA are something special

[@robg9297]

I watch a lot of 4 wheel driving videos, and you stand out as being the most honest most practical and the most information,you should be proud of presenting to the public. well done Ronny Dahl

[@jonbarlow3542]

Good to see a simplier, minimilist kit, I think often folk, with all the high-tech gear & gluttonous creature comforts, end up insulating out the very experience they go camping/4wd for; to experience nature. Excellent episode, thanks.

[@Rob.Salta90]

Love how the 2.8l is slowly convincing people that it’s actually better than the V8 - aside from the sound of course

[@lastknownlocation8760]

Better? Arguable The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long. I think it’s mainly city dwellers that want the 2.8 auto. I’ll bet not many farmers begged for it.

[@Rob.Salta90]

@@lastknownlocation8760 say that to the hundreds of thousands of 2.8l Prado, Hilux, Fortuners and now 70 series motors out there around the globe doing hundreds of thousands of ks a year. Toyota isn’t stupid. They know what they’ve made and know it’s got all the right reasons to supersede the V8. I’ve got a V8 79 and 200 series. My wife’s 150 series Prado shits over the both of them. They couldn’t have made the change sooner

[@DW-10]

This is YT. It can't possibly work as an acceptable fit out until you have a body chop, chassis extension, 6x6 conversion on coils with portals. Then a full canopy set up with a super king sized RTT and 1000ah of lithium batteries to power the induction kitchen 😂😂😂😂

Simple camping is the best type of camping. Sometimes you get carried away with all the gear and you forget why you go camping in the first place

[@TheMethtrix]

Ronny, i really appreciate what you are doing here. You are proving that we dont need over the top gear to travel everywhere in Australia. But in the process, you are shooting yourself in the foot and taking a hit on your sponsorships. I hope people understand what you are trying to do here. Wish you all the best mate. Been watching you from the begining

[@adamsfly6212]

We have a similar air station at the great sand dunes in Colorado and it's amazing how many people don't air down and cause problems. Also, would you like some eggs with your flies? Wow! there are a lot of flies. Although, I've been to places in Colorado where the mosquitos are that thick. No good. Thanks for sharing.

[@radaraacf]

I’m sure that you guys don’t have twits in a Tesla or 2wd hatchback trying a beach drive though

[@emgee44]

14:59 That location looks totally alien, what an amazing place 😮

[@gavinramsay539]

Love the footage of the red meets white with the water.

[@ryanjohnson4320]

Thanks for the wonderful video Ronny. Much appreciated that you take us with you!

[@paulclarke4431]

Kaon do an under-roof rack table holder (for basic Bunnings table). Would be the best way to add a table without cluttering the inside.

[@taurota1554]

Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@nicklaslundberg7697]

We do the same in Sweden, driving into the snow to slow down.

[@jporter504]

Sometimes I feel as though you are taking me along with you. Got to admit, if this American was tagging along and you told me we were heading for a "thong shack" I doubt you would fully understand my enthusiasm during the long ride there. 🤣🤣

[@Alan.livingston]

Nice to see you on the tracks. Definitely my preferred content.

[@johnzadkovich2990]

Good video. The only addition I'd personally make to the 'Cruiser would be to fit a gigantic bug zapper, say 30MW+.

[@Charlie-ec3bc]

Great video the canvas red on the white with turquoise waters breath taking . Tracks looking pretty chopped up ! Video footage was amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[@nedwhiting6033]

Not sure if you've seen them, but Kaon make a roof shelf that goes in the rear cargo area. I have one in my 60 series and absolutely love it, great use of an otherwise unusable area. They fit the crashpad storage bags perfectly and make a great place to store all my cooking equipment etc.

[@tommygalatsi3237]

Great video mate been following you for some time,good tips as always and very informative.Moved to Karratha from Queensland about 15 months ago,working full time,and slowy exploring beautiful WA,so much to see and do, and heaps beach camping places,and locations loving it up here.Keep up the great content most enjoyable YT channel. Cheers

Dude, unreal video. Immediately subscribed. Please keep them coming and as stunning and informative as this one was. Epic work mate 👌🏻

[@lourensrichter6762]

Hi Ronny, great vid. I hope u will be doing more trips with the 76 in the future. Like the ones u used to do with the 79. The 76 is by far my favourite car u have owned, and i hope to see more of it. Keep up the good work, by far the best 4wd channel out there

[@interceptor7905]

Mate,you have done more for Australia then any politician!Top notch work on promoting this country!

[@radaraacf]

Mate a fart does more and better for this country than Aussie politicians, regardless I agree he does a brilliant job

[@OutbackOutlaw]

I’ve always driven into the sand mounds because it has pretty much made the drive smoother but I’d never heard an explanation before. Thanks for that.

[@michaelbowers5675]

I thought you were going to mention the ride of the shocks as compared to the grenadier, not the temperature, although that is an interesting fact in regards to the nitro shocks. Great voyage, loved the paddleboarding moment and the attempt at catching some fish in the bay. Place really is alien looking with the red sand cliffs meeting the white sand beaches.

[@babyzette06]

Excellent videos! I get amused when I see those flies around you in one location, then you drive to another location and the flies are still there :)) circling the hat

[@nic.in.the.pacific5113]

Beautiful part of the country, WA has great 4x4’ing and camping.

[@lastknownlocation8760]

That Grenadier has cauliflower ears

[@harrywalker968]

that grenadere, is 300k. plus no parts available..

[@chrisfanchier2318]

For what it's worth, I do like the basic setup. If the rear doors are able to open up a little more, then I would look at a simple drawer setup in the rear that has an incorporated fridge slide. Other then that I think you have it set. With all that said, what's the chance you can make a quick short on packing up the CrashPad Swag?! I have one myself and sometimes it is a pain to get back into the bag. Some tips would be great!

[@richwhetton]

Not a Crash Pad but I’ve swapped all my Swag’s bags for a Darche Nero bag - takes up more space packed up but so much less hassle to get into bag.

[@radaraacf]

Only bad thing is filming it’s the LED headlights strobing due to the htz being similar to the video refresh at a guess like screens can do sometimes

[@marklaurendet1861]

Another great video,the paddle boarding looked really good. For airing up/down could you do a video in which brands have reliable pressure readouts. I have tried a few gauges and none really accurate. I used to have access to a calibrated air system to check gauges to but no longer. My current gauge rubber seal is now showing signs of starting to wear so need a new one.

[@TheArhiArhus]

The Old Man Emu suspension is ideal for a bumpy ride, on any type of road or off-road terrain. This is because it is not hard but the wheels stay in contact with the ground most of the time, try it.

[@laurencefahey3132]

Absolutely love these videos 👏👏👏

[@gailmaplesden7380]

Hey Ronny ,I would like to see you take a basic model j 4x4 hilux and build it from scratch. This is the platform that most people especially newcomers to off roading start with and begin their build . These high end rigs are not in the budget for most beginners especially if they are going to start throwing modes at it . Old folks that have money aren't going to be out camping and laying in the dirt out on the trail so catering to the younger crowd is a way to increase your viewership and get more people into the sport.

[@notinservice3724]

slowing down by steering into the sand is the same as we do in mountainous Canada, steering into the snow coming into a downhill curve, I hope I wrote this out correctly, (no flies in our winter time) lol

[@a1tko1drugi]

@8:07 wow, the amount of dust on that a7iv... 😅Off the topic of the video, I know, but did you ever have issues with dust getting in your lenses or camera bodies? Actually, come to think of it, I believe you sharing some of your experience with filming in the bush would make for a very interesting content. Greetings from Europe.

[@gmf756]

Hi Ronny, I ask myself whether the auto-transmission is doing well with the change of the tyre size? Do you still see the car reaching the 6th gear while tar driving? Did you check the temperature of the gearbox while heavy driving on sand already? Also the temperature of the engine might get an issue what most likely the temperature gauge would not reflect properly since that one is somewhat compensated up to the point where it getś critical. Do you have any experience and comment on that? Thanks a lot!

[@ScottyD_NZ]

lol, for a moment I thought he was going to float the 4x4 with the tide

[@MrDive2010]

Hey Ronny, Great Video!… which brand do you use for communication .. antenna and radio?

[@Lingers24]

Hey Ronny, Long time follower here (also from WA). How do you get around the legalities of running 35 inch tyres? Are your cruisers and grenadier engineered / SSM? Or are you and your team ensuring you’re modifying your 4wd’s as safe as possible with good quality parts and not worrying about the boys in blue side of house? Cheers, Josh

[@kingarabia6755]

What upgrades have you done to it?!

[@thebob3712]

I went up there 10 years ago, don't remember it being boggy or real bad corrugations, maybe the old Triton is better than what I thought it was.

Hey Ronny, with the bigger tyres and suspension mods do either of the vehicles tyres rub ? On full lock ? flexing ? etc

Do you have stock gearing? I just find your tire choice a bit oversize. I'd have to change my stock ratios on a 4L Tacoma to run that tire size

[@mahdialmaslami6477]

Hey Ronny... Just wondering how did you sleep inside? As I'm planning to buy a similar car and thinking of sleeping inside the car instead of RTT

Where do we get those rigid dual color strip lights in the U.S.?

[@nickgood8166]

Just for a fraction of a second, the horizontal 2-way radio antenna a few seconds from the end, was, to me, redolent of an M2 heavy machine gun (half inch Browning). I thought, 'Ronnie is taking his kit a bit seriously!'
