170 nm? NNOOOO vanno chiuse a 330nm le perdi così che ignoranti . dico il vero apri il manuale iveco daily e il dato è la mia fonte
ITALIANO La documentazione batte la conversazione. Per favore forniscimi un link dove posso scaricare una copia del manuale dell'Iveco VM-90 che indica che i Neuton Meter per le alette dei pneumatici dovrebbero essere 330 e non 170, come indicato dalla società di pneumatici Michelin a Milano. Grazie! ENGLISH Documentation beats conversation. Please provide me with a link where I can download a copy of the Iveco VM-90 manual which indicates that the Neuton Meters for the tire lugs should be 330 and not 170, as instructed by the Michelin tire company in Milan. Thanks!
@@overlanditaly dai tua e-mail comunque lo trovi anche online cerca pdf Iveco vm90 mechanic
ITALIANO Ho fornito prove video dalla concessionaria di pneumatici Michelin di Milano che raccomandava che la pressione del misuratore di newton per le alette dei pneumatici dovrebbe essere di 170 nm. Ora, credo che saprebbero di cosa stanno parlando e non vorrebbero che io uscissi dalla loro attività e percorressi oltre 1.100 chilometri (cosa che ho fatto) e subissi un grave incidente a causa della loro negligenza, giusto? Ora è arrivato lei e ha sostenuto che le alette dovrebbero essere serrate fino a 330 nm sulla base di un presunto manuale Iveco, che non è riuscito a produrre su richiesta. Tengo in mano un Newton Meter di livello professionale per camion di grandi dimensioni e si FERMA a 300 nm. Non raggiunge nemmeno i 330 nm di cui stai parlando. ENGLISH I provided video evidence from the Michelin tire dealership in Milan that recommended the newton meter pressure for the tire lugs should be 170 nm. Now, I believe that they would know what they are talking about and would not want me to drive out of their business and travel over 1,100 kilometers (which I did) and experience a serious accident as a result of their negligence, correct? Now you came along and claimed the lugs should be tightened down to 330 nm based on an alleged Iveco manual, which you failed to produce upon request. I'm holding a professional grade Newton Meter for large trucks in my hand and it STOPS at 300 nm. It doesn't even reach the 330 nm you are talking about.
@@overlanditaly esistono le chiavi dinamometrie che fanno oltre i 300 sono quelli di grandi dimensioni comunque non posso caricare la foto del manuale qui come commento, ma se mi dai email te la invio volentieri non sto dicendo cose false, comunque basta che cerchi il manuale di uso e manutenzione originale iveco se vuoi te lo posso mandare io lho comprato e c'è scritto 320nm+30 per dadi ruota. in ogni meglio un 300 come la tua chiave un 170 che è troppo debole, soprattutto con il peso dell 9.00
ITALIANO Vi prego di contattarmi tramite il nostro sito web: www.overlanditaly.com e, una volta ricevuta la vostra e-mail, sarò lieto di rispondervi. Gradirei ricevere una copia del manuale Iveco a cui si riferisce. Perché, supponendo che tu abbia ragione, vorrei contattare il concessionario che mi ha venduto gli pneumatici (e li ha installati) e chiedere perché lo hanno fatto con un valore così basso in metro newton. Credo che dovrebbero anche fornirmi un dispositivo di misurazione newton più potente o di qualità superiore, poiché ne ho acquistato uno da loro nel tentativo di assicurarmi di stringere correttamente le gomme, non avendo mai posseduto un veicolo come questo prima. Ad ogni modo, apprezzo il tuo contributo e spero che compilerai il modulo di richiesta sul nostro sito Web in modo che io possa contattarti direttamente. Grazie~ ENGLISH Please contact me via our website: www.overlanditaly.com and, once I have your e-mail, I will gladly respond to you. I would appreciate receiving a copy of the Iveco manual to which you are referring. Because, I assuming you are correct, I would like to contact the dealership which sold me the tires (and installed them) and inquire why they did so at such a low newton meter rating. I believe they should also provide me with a stronger, or higher rated newton meter device, as I also purchased one from them in an effort to ensure I was properly tightening the tires - having never owned a vehicle like this before. Anyway, I appreciate your input and hope that you will file-out the inquiry form on our website so that I may contact you directly. Thanks~
Hi there great channel very informative especially as I have a D4 and wishing to do some overlanding next year in the Pyrenees and alps. Could i ask what type and size of tyres you used.regards Thad.
I'm running BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain KM3 LT265/60 R18 119/1160 (Load Range E) Have a great trip in the Pyrenees!
Hi Jay! It’s me, Laurel! Nice meeting you!
👍
Wow that’s a serious recovery😨😅 Very nice how de firemen’s help you to take you’re car out. I think if you started with the maxtrax before you started to slide out you might not get stuk there but this is always easy to say after. Thank you to share you’re content!
Hindsight vision is always 20/20, right? Thank you for your insight and for supporting the channel.
Bravissimo from Australia LR4 SCV6 owner with its supercharger and 2014 build
Grazie mile! Can you help me with my build???
Hmnn... for $1 Million Dollars, I might just do that! ;-) I'm not in that space, but hopefully our videos on the LR3 have helped give you some great ideas and resources for your own rig!
I love your rig, beautiful! I am working on my 2008 LR3, that rooftop tent is a bit much for me, but I am considering. I pulled out my original springs and added heavy duty ones on standard height, because the suspension is a headache on these Landies. I love your advice. Thank you for sharing.
Hi! As long as you feel you have the off-road clearance you need, I would imagine driving your 2008 LR3 a bit lower (at stock height) would be far more enjoyable to drive 90% of the time. These vehicle are already quite heavy and keeping the center of gravity lower is fine, as long as it doesn't impede your ability to get where you want to go.
Hi Jay, how did you fix the solar panels to the RTT?
Our three (3) SunBeam "Tough 111 Watt Flush Black" solar panels were directly adhered to our rooftop tent by means of the "Silkaflex 291-i Black" silicon product. I entrust that information is of some help?
Fantastic video. Thank you.
Thank you. Greatly appreciated~
Thank you~
What an absolute beast.
Looks great! Good to see the update, some "shorts" on features of the VM90 would be good to see if you can manage. My partner and I are thinking of buying one in UK and going overlanding!
Very interesting video Jay and great vehicle! The wheels were not balanced or you didn't film? Question interested, how much does a tire like that cost in Italy? almost 850€ in France
Perhaps I should have mentioned this during the video, but these tires cannot be balanced because of their 3-piece rims. Go figure, right? Each brand new tire was €960 including the 22% VAT (Value Added Tax) in Italy and mounting. There was an additional €60 for the inner tube and protective rim sleeve. So, just over €1.020 each.
Have you managed to get a manual from one of the commentators from a previous video? would appreciate if you share =)
I would be happy to, I just don't know "how to" do that through a KZread channel?
@@overlanditaly handle of your google mail account? Mine is lumtrav
or add it as a link to gdrive in a video description ;) Wrote down the dealership address in parma, hopefully they have some parts for the front suspension of my iveco too. And hoping it could make it to them x) Cheers!
Please contact me directly on my website: www.overlanditaly.com
The air suspension is hardly the worst of your worries on a Disco 3 so why go with springs. Madness.
Replacing the entire air suspension costs around €5.000 and does not alleviate the risk of catastrophic failure off-road. Utilizing the ARB heavy-load coil-over conversion cost around €1.500 in total and eliminated that concern. Again, the purpose of the series was not to discuss whether the Land Rover Discovery 3 or 4 was the best choice for an overlanding vehicle, which clearly it is NOT, but whether the modifications we made to it classified it to be "The Best in the World" for its Make and Model. Lord knows we had our fair share of failures from transmissions, to drive shafts, gearboxes, intercoolers, alternators, the list goes on-and-on. The coil-over conversation, at least, gave us one less problem to have to worry about. We hope you enjoy our videos and we appreciate you supporting the channel. Thanks~!
@@overlanditaly I see your point then. Doesn’t cost that here in the UK tho to my knowledge. Surely it’s rare for the whole system to die in a one’r though? Single air bags and valves etc? Yeah a lot of components to fail tho agreed. Maybe get a V8 in it for more reliability and do away with crank failure stress. 🤣
The compressor, in Italy, costs around €1.206 with our 22% VAT. The sensors and valves are another €1,400 with tax and installation. The original Land Rover air suspension runs around €750 each, again with tax and installation. My compressor was beginning to fail, working sometimes and not others. And when one airbag goes the rest will soon follow suit, its just a matter of when and, more importantly, where. However, if I were a mechanic and could purchase the parts at reduced prices and install them myself I'm sure it would cost far less. Unfortunately I am not a mechanic and that makes the LR3 and LR4 difficult (ie. expensive) vehicles to own given their propensity for failures. Moreover, it was the wrong platform (for me). I wanted something I could live "in" for months at a time, which is why we purchased the Iveco VM-90.
@@overlanditaly thanks for taking the time to reply with very informative info. Great build none the less! 👍🏽💪🏽
It's our pleasure. We genuinely appreciate you sharing the channel and hope you enjoy the content!
Did you do a full lubrication fluids change before doing the trip.
Yes, of course, the entire vehicle was serviced by Iveco. However, the vehicle had not been driven (more than 49 kilometers) in 18 years, so there was really no way to know how it would perform on an 1,106 Kilometer drive. Considering we only blew one small hole through an external tube to the radiator, I think it did quite well.
Amazing views in this video - Thank you Jay. Nice wheels!!
very nice one :)
What Kawasaki green a paint job or a wrap thanks
It was a "Raptor" spray-on product in Kawasaki green.
What make and model of the rear view mirror did you install? Are you still using it and happy with it?
I am using a "G-Series Frameless Rear View Replacement Mirror Monitor with 7.2" Display" which I purchased in 2021 from RVS or "Rear View Safety" and have been very pleased with their products as they continue to perform without any issues 4-years running.
Great episode Jay!
How reliable are the land rovers past 100k?
About as unreliable as they are under 100,000 kilometers, if not more so. LOL
Hi Jay, thank you for making this series. Great to see someone else appreciating the awesome D3 🙂
Beautiful Discovery! Great video 👌
I am going to meet your challenge regarding the best LR4 in the World! I only found your channel last night as I took a break from preparing my new overland Discovery 4 for a 5 year adventure travelling around Australia using every off- road track possible to achieve 3 objectives. -Circumnavigate Australia. -Travel from its furthest South point to its farthest North point -Travel from its most Easterly point to its most Western point And Criss-cross the whole country to all my desired scenic destinations whilst doing so Now Australia is a tough land , so only tuff truks can do this type of trip, so my preparations are extensive and a little different from yours- but we both agree on one common theme- get rid of all the rear seats and the mid row seats This is a huge space not needed in 1 up overland touring AND offer such freedom to make the car suit your needs and purpose It also saves nearly 200 kg of weight that can be utilised for needed equipment storage Enough for the moment, I’ll be in touch with photos and text as we achieve the finished fitout Cheers Robert
Fantastic show but having to get a bus from the camp grounds to the event is a PITA, first year we went in 2021 none of the coaches turned up until about 2 hours after the show opened. I reckon someone forgot to book them.
Interesting project, thanks for sharing!
what happened to the Iveco
What a beautiful piece of history. On one hand it's a pity to not just preserve it as it is in my opinion, but on the other hand it's such a capable vehicle that it would be a shame not to use it for exploring beautiful landscapes.
What was the price if its not a secret?
i was seeing year ago, it was on sale for 20-22k €
'Promo SM' 😓
I don't even know what that means? But, we appreciate you watching and supporting our channel!
Great experience! I was wondering, would a manual winch (tirfor) save the day? Also regarding calling SOS did you use Garmin inreach SOS button for that or just called a phone number? Thanks
Thank you for your kind words and inquiry. I have never owned or operated a manual winch, other than turning my High-Lift Jack into a manual makeshift winch. However, I do believe that I will now remember to check and see if a fuse is blown before I remain on my immediate conclusion that the winch motor had died! I used the Garmin inReach SOS button on the side of our Tread Series 8" Overland device to obtain help. Their 24/7/365 services were then able to reach me (fortunately) via cell phone. If I was out of cell service range, I'm sure we would have continued the emergency conversation via full-sentence texting via satellite. Thanks~
Do you live in Italy? Do you know “how long” it takes for responders to reach a non-emergency call? Who is to say that my emergency in sub-zero temperatures was any less important than someone else’s call at that particular time? And even if it was, emergency response teams act on the most important life-threatening call(s) first. I was grateful and appreciative to have the gear that I did and the courage to make use of it.
Snapped rope ain’t a problem it’s a snapped steel cable that will get ya
You are correct, however a number of people still use steel cables. And while I have never been around a synthetic cable when it "snaps" under tremendous tension, I'm not sure I'd want to.
Hi it's Christie your server from Hotel Dolomite. Great video I'm glad everything turned out ok.
Hi Christie, Thank you for such a thoughtful comment!
Pleased to see you made it out safely - man that took some digging to get the pull-pal out 😎💪
I know, right?
Fortunately, everything ended well. That's what's important. A hug from Portugal.
Well said sir, well said. I've got to make it out to Portugal one of these days!
And you will be welcome. 👍
I have had the out-rack roof rack on my D4 for almost a year, fully loaded with a hard shell tent and roam adventure box, absolutely rock solid rack, being dead flat (with no raised edge) made it possible have the tent sit really low. Also fitted the LRP rear lower tailgate door release kit, another really well designed and engineered product. 🙏
Hi Steven, Thank you for your informative comments. It's nice to hear of the success others are having with their LRP - Land Rover Passion products. Again, we appreciate you subscribing and supporting the channel. Thanks~
How was this tested on a vehicle? Or anywhere else? You seem to be implying that emp can only go through a battery in order to fry the over a dozen ECUs in a vehicle. So no battery, no worries? But mostly, I'd like to know the test procedure and results on a Land Rover.
Hello again... Electro Magnetic Pulses move through every electronic component of a vehicle in a few billionths of a second and, as per the instructions of the manufacturer, you are to connect the device to the battery so that it has power. For more information on the efficacy of this unit and the intense research and testing which went into their production, you would want to contact www.EMPshield.com directly. Thanks~
What tires and size are those? They fit and look great
Hi Thomas, Thank you for your inquiry! We are running the BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 | LT265/60R18. These tires are one-centimeter larger (in overall diameter) than the original stock tires which, in actuality, is only 5 mm taller. They have an "E" Load Rating, which is as high as you can obtain for this particular vehicle. They are "somewhat" noisy, I suppose, but really not that bad - at all. That having been said, I am thoroughly pleased with their overall performance and would NOT consider changing them. Why? When you find something that is working for you, run with it! Thanks again~
@@overlanditaly Awesome and thank you
Great ideas there for storage, love the gullwing with the coffee stash!
Hi Chase, Thank you sir! We appreciate you following us and sharing our channel with others.
Wow, lots of thought and passion clearly went into this. Very cool!
Thank you Ed, that was very kind of you.
Hi Jay, many thanks for showing your equipment. I learn from your experience and it makes it easier for me to build my LR D3 (same color as yours) my wife is also Italien but we are living in Germany. Maybe this year we are traveling to Italy and meet you out there somewhere. ;-) our first journey this year will be trough Rumania with a group of other cars. If you like to join...let me know. Greetings Andy
Hi Andy, Thank you so much for the invitation, that sounds like it could be a wonderful experience! Please feel free to contact me via our website, www.overlanditaly.com, and provide us with the dates and routes of your upcoming travels as we would need an opportunity to properly prepare for such an expedition. Thanks~
@@overlanditaly Well Jay, I don’t know how to contact you on your website….other than on Insta or FB. Let me know how to contact you. Greetings Andy
Hi Andy, When you visit our website, please re-fresh your screen, scroll down the home page, and look for a large section that says "Contact Us" where you can place your e-mail address. Thanks!
Hi Jay, I must ask - will this vehicle be available to viewers for purchase? Can we talk privately?
Sure, why not? If you are interested in purchasing this vehicle just let us know. Thanks~
NO, it's NOT the best LR3 overland build in the world. In fact, I'd put mine over this one. ;) At least I didn't remove what makes the LR3 the best choice FOR an overland vehicle. The air suspension. The gullwing is a great idea, but this one is a ridiculously small opening. In addressing this with this Mfg, they just defended their design with flawed reasons. I gather the investment was at such a cost that they didn't want to make it better.
We haven't finished covering the vehicle, as we still have at least two more episodes. I've had the air-suspension fail on the vehicle far too often and don't want to risk having the vehicle go into "limp" mode again when on the trail. So, if you prefer air-suspension that's great! However, I've found it to be more of a liability than a benefit. Anyway, you might want to reserve judgement until we've at least finished the series. Thanks for your input!
I was looking at your vehicle and I didn't see any gullwings installed on your vehicle? It's not a very nice thing to be so critical of someone else's product, particularly when you have never seen it in person, used it or owned it. The gullwings take as much space as can be realistically utilized. I have found them to be well-built and am very happy with our extensive use of them.
B@overlanditaly Being I've seen the details of that gullwing during the last year or so on the Facebook pages, I saw plenty to know why I'd never own one. The TF one is better, though I'll most likely build my own. So that's why you don't see this thing on my LR yet.
@overlanditaly Funny, your video title asks the question and yet now you're tell me to reserve judgmen?. 🙄 Throwing in the towel on the air suspension is a bit lame. It's a very simple system to maintain and repair. I solo for weeks at a time in the remotest of areas and zero issues.
I'm happy that you have taken such pride in your own vehicle, air-suspension, choice of product lines and your own manufacturing capabilities. I think that's great!
What is the rational behind putting the spare wheel on the back of the LR3? Did you put an extra fuel tank in its place?
Hi Mark, "Yes" sir. The original spare tire was an emergency donut tire, while the new spare is full-size. We also added an ARB "Long Ranger" fuel tank, all of which we will be covering in Part 5. Stay Tuned~!
Thanks for this video. One of our strengths is to listen to the customer's needs and do our utmost to satisfy them. In your case, to design the solid panel and outer shelf. We are happy that our products are daily used by people who love overlanding like you 🙌
Grazie mille!
Great series, please can I ask the make and model of the free standing awning
Yes, it's "The Bush Company - 270 Degree XT Awning (with Wall Enclosures) from Australia". If you want more information on it, I covered it in detail in the video previous to this one (ie. Part #2). Thanks for watching! Your support is greatly appreciated.
Very good. A hug from Portugal
Why don't you add some sort of extra panel on roof of your car which doesn't obstruct your bed and install starlink in flatbed mode so you have internet 24/7
At the time I added the Starlink (stationary) mobile unit, they had just been released, so at the time it was quite new and revolutionary to the industry. The new flat dishes, or "Starlink in Motion", which can continue to receive and transmit a signal while driving, were only released here in Europe during the late calendar year of 2023. They currently cost €2,873 (Euro) plus the monthly subscription. So, we are waiting to place that unit, once we have ordered it, onto our forthcoming Iveco VM-90 military vehicle with a camper. Stay tuned~!
I'm loving your videos man specially this information videos where you tell what you need for overlanding trips. Keep making this
Thank you sir~!
Add rubber O ring to shackle bolt and even when you forget to back bolt off, it won’t lock up…..
I've never seen anyone add a heavy duty O-ring to a D-shackle but, in theory, it makes sense. Have you done this yourself, or just heard about it over the years?
