It's pretty cool...you boys along with a couple of channels have become a part of my Sunday morning routine chilling with a cuppa and my dog soaking up the sun....when you guys don't upload it kinda makes me feel out of place kinda like an addiction I guess....

Cheers 🍻 Nathan for confirming my ‘bearing’ adjustment 🟰👍➕🔔

Perfect timing for this episode as I really need to look over the front of my patrol and sort it’s death wobble before it gets to a dangerous level.

Hi guys. About 2years ago I did a whole lot of research (on KZread) about changing my tyres from 31s to 33s on my 80 series. One of the most interesting things I learnt from this was about tyre "DOT" codes. Nathan briefly touched upon the age (date) just at the end of your video. I suggest that you do a more detailed video about DOT codes so us regular mugs actually know what we are buying. Old stock tyres (2 to 4 years old) are often sold off at a small discount. The ordinary mugs don't understand that they have just bought old tyres. The ordinary mug thinks they are getting a good deal and then wonder why their tyres don't have traction and wear out in low kilometres (because the rubber is old and brittle). The ordinary mug then thinks that the brand of tyre they bought are rubbish and then looks to change brands when the real problem is how old their tyres were at purchase! Cheers

I have a series 2 Land Rover Discovery, told that the biggest tyre I could fit to the 16" stock alloy wheels without scraping would be a 225/70/16. Since that was shared with me I've fitted Old man emu springs, shocks and steering dampener. Replaced the ty rods etc as per your vlog I then went to another tyre shop and 265/75/16Lt were fitted with still no rubbing or problems its been great 15000kms it's like driving when it was new again. Great information you're sharing, oh the luxury of a hoist I can only dream

Hey thank you for posting this video: Nathan really impressed with this very informative overview of good maintenance practice and inspection of suspension and tyres.

I bet Dan looks like his dad would have in the early 90’s

another good session on Aussie arvo. I have to agree that a lot of vibrations that most think is steering, comes from a bad or dry U-joint. being old truck driver ,u joints are the first thing I check for .a little grease does wonders.

No worries, thanks for watching!

Great vid guys. There is lots of good info there to digest. And from a guy who sounds like he knows he stuff too. But can also put it into laymens terms. Keep up the good work on the channel.

Thanks for the info

nice one. I'd love to see an additional masterclass on something with full independent suspension setups like the Pajero or even the new Patrols.

thanks, good video

great vid guys!

Good information I’m experiencing a wobble and started with wheel balancing to hubs,king pins,casters and I still have a wobble replaced just about everything in front end of a hzj 79r series ute i will now look at the tail shaft pretty hard to get a 4+4 experience mechanic these days thanks for the info

I have had a drive line U-joint break while going down the freeway. Before i could stop the CJ7 jeep, the drive beat holes in the floor board because it couldn't fall to the road due to the skid plate. I took off the broken driveshaft threw it into the back of the jeep and took off the front driveshaft and mounted it in the rear position and had a good two wheel drive jeep to get to my destination.

great explains appreciate sharing

GREAT INFO

so true on the hilux lower control arms, have had to cut them off with a grinder at work

cheers for the knowledge, my father owns a 2000 79 Series Landcruiser, has the death wobbles down bad, might go and see if it is the real issue

Good one. 👍

Nathan is the only bloke around Lilydale that knows how to properly adjust upper arms on ifs utes 😅 so many other shops in the area are clueless.

Insane to meet you guys today!!! Time to settle in and watch the gold👌

Bloody awesome 🤩,thanks very much🍺🍺🍺👍👍🇳🇿🇳🇿😊

It pained me to have to replace 5 year old tyres, that had only done 10k miles, but they were cracked. Deffo keep an eye on that!

US Toyota TRD Pro 17" wheels have a +4 offset. I run 255/80 R17 tires on my 5thGen 4Runner, installed ARK mudflaps and have NO rubbing at all. YMMV.

Another top video boys 🍻 Those Super-Pro & any other poly/nolathane bushes will be stuffed within a year if you start getting it offroad though. Without fail they will tear from repeated flexing. Rubber is the only thing that will last.

It’s amazing how many people don’t know about the tyre age stamp The amount of times I’ve gone to a customers car and seen they have 10+ year old tyres is unbelievable

What spray would you use on the control arm pins so you don’t stuff the rubber up

Can you please do a video on torsion bar ifs?

What antenna is on that? What radios do you guys run down under?

Great camera work, Liam

Sway-bar links, they look nice but money is on them wearing loose. Top rubbers not compressed enough, need a little more. Very small bars, like, TINY. Swap tailshaft around, keep the slip-joint near transfer rather than diff, a little cleaner. Little less mass at the diff pinion.

What size and brand tyres are on the Hilux ?

Is it not illegal to put 33's on ifs vehicles with Stability Control?

That goatie makes me madder than it should

I remember when i used to wonder if 33’s fit…. Kinda 😉😄 now im wondering if 44’s will fit 🤘😎🤘

Torsion bars the best suspension you can get? Dan I need more on this please.

Being a Navara owner myself, like Dan, he was making a 'Tongue in Cheek' comment about Torsion Bars being the best suspension.. it was mean't to be humour or mild sarcasim for the people who know the obvious truth .. functional but poor articulation.

Notice Nath call it a tie rod not a relay rode like mentioned in a previous Aussie Arvo episode

Gum boys less goooo

Question for Nathan: Are adjustable UCAs worth it (compared to castor corrected) or does the extra adjustment introduce to much extra complexity

Personally I prefer the solid uca's for 2-3inch lifted cars Stronger less moving parts but each has its place

@Anomic-mo9ji

If you can get it aligned properly after a lift then you all set. If they lack adjustment to get a good alignment then you need new UCA

You need more light

I'm going to be that guy, what find are on Dan's gq, are they Mongrel??

It looks like this guy just wants to show off his big guns.
