Thank you. I have another question, because I also had a vehicle with air suspension (only in the back ) and I am doing my homework in case I get another. ( I loved the air suspension, it was a Landcruiser Prado ) What I noticed on my vehicle is that on the high lift setting, the back...

I am curios about the lift. As far as I know the 110 comes with air suspension and you can lift it at the push of a button. So how can you lift it more without replacing the whole thing... ? L.E... nevermind, I did a google search, those lift rods keep the air suspension but give you a...

Tires are a never ending discussion and there is no one size fits all solution. First is to establish of list of criteria. What is you comfort level with noise ( all of them have noise rating. If you look, At and MT are usually noisier than your normal higway tire). Don't be fooled by the...

As I said before. Many people like cutting trees down. I do not. If you think for a moment that in my 24 days of holiday per year I look for a trail where there are some trees to be cut...you are mistaken. But that is me. Some people like it. It is fine. Each to his own. Also you have...

Almost nothing takes 150 miles to go around. Some 4x4 skills are need for overlading, but is not a must. People overland on motorbikes or just bikes. So, as someone posted before, for Overlading the short answer is no, for more difficult 4x4 trails yes, you might need a winch.

I think it depends. I like off roading because I can reach remote nice areas. It can be fun. But at some point, if the trail is too difficult I will try find my way around it. I am out there in my limited spare time. Do I want to spend it digging and winching ? For many this is fun...

If you make a decision at some point and start planning a trip, you should take a look on wikiloc, it is very popular in Europe. example of trail in the Pyrinees mountains in Spain. About 1200 km, and from those 800 km of it off road. I did it a few years ago, with some variations ( I went...

There is no EU wide rule, but a small breakdown is found here. Thee are 27 countries only in the Eu, but than you have many more in Europe and near by regions like the Balkans, Est etc.. https://www.holidaypirates.com/travel-magazine/top-destinations-for-wild-camping-in-europe_26090 Germany...

We had those in Romania during communism when I was a kid. My father had one at his job. In the summer it was hell in them, on top of the normal heat with no AC you had the bloody heat form the engine, we had like 4 blankets on top of it to try to insulate it. IN the winter it was great.. :)...

Remote reservoir is good for hot climates with really long corrugated roads done at some speed, helps with cooling. If you do not notice a decrease in performance of the shocks after being off road for a couple of hours, than you don't need them. If you do Baja at rally speed.. sure.. A...

There is a US company that makes adventure jeans and kakis from some kind of proprietary denim. This are the greatest pants I ever had.. very confortable, they strach a bit but still very durable, the fabric breaths well.. https://bulletprufe.com/ I had them shipped to Europe at a very...

A good hardshell you can use even in 80 km/h wind, you just park with your nose towards it, and it just pops open.. A rainy morning with a bit of wind while you pack a softshell is enough to ruin a bit the mood.. but yes, price is a big factor. Hardshells, even after all this years are still...

The easy solution - a small power pack that you can recharge off the vehicle while driving or from a small solar panel when staying in one spot, even from shore power in a paying camp site. It is flexible and you can even power a small fridge. You don't need any electrical skills or to...

Nice. You don't see many Pajero builds, it is a rare vehicle. I saw your post regarding the sidesteps. For looks, ok, but the main reason is protection. On my Hilux, the first thing I ever hit was not the engine skid plate or other bits, but the rocksliders, and this happened during my...

The battery box arrived today. This is why I need it It looks worse than it is, when the aux battery is in, it is bit cleaner, I have fuses everywhere and it is safe.. but still... My 100 Ah AGM deep cycle is a snug fit, which is fine, I don't want it to move around.. The front of the box...

It is called a VSR.. voltage sensitive relay https://www.12voltplanet.co.uk/voltage-sensitive-relay-12v-140a.html or for US

Those who worry about petrol/gas availability should not. That will be the least of your problems. Biggest number of vehicles you will see out there are not cars or diesel trucks, but motorbikes, who run on petrol and much lower range.. What you might consider is the lower mileage/tank for...

And I would add that the inert part refers to chemical reactivity...basically, in normal conditions it does not react ( combine ) with anything else..

There is a guy doing a world tour in a new Iveco diesel truck. He is very knowledgeable and makes very good research . https://www.tuckstruck.net/truck-and-kit/the-truck-technical-stuff/fuel-issues/ To resume, it depends a lot on how well the DPF and injection system is designed. Iveco...

I made a long trip in the Hilux, a bit of off road, not much, no camping, it is too cold for that. The car performed very well, I am happy with it. I would still prefer a land cruiser, but with the taxes in Europe... Had some issues with the auxiliary battery box, one of the wires was...
