Hey, there fellow off-roader and outdoors lover :)
I'm George and on this channel, we discuss 4x4 modifications, share useful 4-wheeling tips and techniques that I've learned over the years, also get to see beautiful sceneries, and visit historical sites on our offroad trips.
If you share my love for the outdoors and desire to explore or you are into offroading, 4-wheeling, overlanding, or whatever you want to call it, then I would love it if you subscribe to my channel and get involved!
I hope you enjoy these videos! :)

Hello my friend. Does the trail gear swivel seals worth than the stock? I will change mine these days and I am thinking of buying the trail gear kit? Does it come for both right and left wheel?
Thanks! The peak is reachable but not from the road I took (the shortest option from the north) - take the main road which comes from the west side of the island. If you see the track you took is a bit extreme, just turn around and try another one - you might find some interesting spots along the way :)
Que Passeio Maravilhoso!! é como se tivessemos juntos Passeando!! Parabens!! bom demais!! por mais videos nesse estilo. Obrigado!! Santa catarina-Brasil.
Just to ADD the MOST important point to add . Results may be less than 1ltr per 100 km [I can confirm this ].[throttle response improved ] The debris [hard particles] and oil sludge increases wear on injectors prematurely . The PCV and EGR systems are responsible
Hi! Where I live there are no proper CCs available w/filters. Are those CCs on Amazon (evil energy) that are hollow better than nothing? Thanks in advance!
If you want your engine to last forever then you need to do the following: 1- install mechanical filtration oil catch can (not baffled one since it doesn't filter + increases the pressure) mechanical filtration catch can can filter almost 100% with no change in the pressure. 2- delete the EGR & retune, engines are completely designed to work with no EGR. Actually EGR system doesn't work all time, it works only in idle and light cruising, other than that it stops working. 3- change air filter more often. 4- install a secondery diesel filter. 5- every 5000 km add injector cleaner. 6- avoid short trips as possible. 7- change engine oil every 3000 km. Then see me after 20 years with ur stock engine runs more than 400000 km and still works like clock.
I mostly agree with your advice. I have also added secondary fuel filter. However, 3000km for oil change? Isn't that a bit extreme? What vehicle do you have?
@@The4x4Lab land cruiser 70 series. For the oil change i go for 3000 km for all my cars petorl and diesel. Engine oil is the blood for the engine. I wont go above 5000km whatsoever regardless of what the regulations say., the 10000 and 20000 is only for environmental issue not for ur engine interest, they want to reduce the amount of used oil dumped. So they asked people to keep it in thier engines for long period of time. Which i dont. Try to send a sample of oil that ran 20000km and to oil lab for analysis. You will be chocked about the results Its not oil any more especially in diesel engines
@@duasobA Thanks for the tip. That makes sense. I will consider changing the oil more often than recommended. P.S I would love to drive a new LC 79 or Troopy if it was available in Europe.
@@The4x4Lab its so impressive, i tried many offroad trucks, ford f250, nissan patrol, gmc yukon, i have now land cruiser 300 series gasoline, but when it comes to offroad nothing compare to land cruiser 70 series both diesel and gasoline. I believed it is available in Europe with the small engine. I saw several youtube vids. Only mistake toyota did with the new land cruiser 70 series is that they put the 2.8 L engine on it. That engine comes in the hilux, i hope they put the land cruiser 300 series v6 new engine in the LC 70 SERIES instead, if they did it would be the best ever LC 70 series. But for some reasons they didn't
@@The4x4Lab by the way, when I complete my customization to my troopy i will start a world wide trip, so when I come to Europe i will visit u to see and try my troopy. My project is to swap the new v6 3.3L diesel engine f33a-ftv instead of the 2.8 L and replace suspension to heavy duty ones, install portal axles. Put my troopy on my old 79 single cab chassis and then extend the troopy cabin to fit. Build the kitchen and the shower, install 270 awing. Install upper hard wall tent. Install satellite receiver, and starlink, and lightening protector. Also 37 inch tires( maxxis at) which is the lightest. Also roof AC, sunlights panels, triple batteries, fridge, and water heater. And TV. I really want to make one of a kind beast almighty troopy in every aspect.
Real offroading. Not the Bullshit your 2 tonnes SUV is doing I think most Offroad vehicles are missing the Mark, wheighing 2 tonnes and being 6 meters long will not give you a Good offroadability for "Serious" Offroading you will have a low angle of attack and bottom out on small hills making this all show and no go thats why i love the Jimny so much it will Actually get somewhere in offroad and wont bottom out immidiately like a Fat Stupid American Truck.
Great video, братанче! I was recently studying this topic and manually cleaned the intake manifold of my 125 prado 1kdftv. Then I decided to put a 7mm hole plate between the tube and the head. In this way, I have reduced the exhaust gases to a minimum, increasing performance but also it will never really get dirty ever again. And it still reduces the temp. Worked wonders for me! Успех с канала, абонирам съм!
Благодаря! :) Good stuff! I'm curious, what method have you used to clean the intake from the engine side? Did you manage to clean all the way to to the valves?
@@The4x4Lab I actually followed your method of disassembly and did ultrasonic and pressure washing. I just installed the plate on the head side where stuff is dry.
Cool. Very true. Almost any vehicle can be taken touring if done carefully. On the other hand, that Vitara looks totally stock to me. I am doubting about the two-inch lift thing they say they got.
Well said! Personally, I would prefer to have the peace of mind that my 4x4 is more than ready to take on the track. Otherwise, you are getting stressed on what you might break. But the sweet spot is different for different people...
Cool Jimny. You are very clear, calm & collected with your off-road explanations. I appreciate that. Good info too. I have a 2021 Jimny and love it. Cheers from Mexico. Subscribed.
Logging companeys can own or leease land that they build roads to survice their plantations. in order to prepare location plots and allow for planting of forrest plantations employees need to have access when they need. in areas of hight rainfall roads or tracks can wash out and become un usable. if you look at plantation areas they have kelometers of tracks to look after that costs allot of money. allowing people into their plantations creates insurance issues and if people distroy the tracks by driving on them when they are wet then allot of money and time is required to rebuilt the tracks before they are safe to use for forrestry work "which is the only reason the tracks are there in the first place". These tracks are not for recreation. in some places access for multy use is allowed but you will find that those areas are more stable and don't require as much effotr and money to maintain. I very much enjoy dricing tracks but I can understand why more tracks get closed "espeshly when I watch youtube videos. It is unfortunent that although most people will drive with respect for the tracks those who don't do so much dammage that in order to save the tracks for logging or fighting bush fires and to reduce accadents the people who are ontracted to look after the tracks who do not get paid or compensated for the damage caused take the desission to lock up the tracks. As some people do not respect the sinage or locked gates they are forced to pay people to patrol . I hear your fustration as a four wheel driver but having worked as a plantation planter and pruner and fire fighter I see their side as well. It is always that a few spoil it for the rest.
Very nice of you to share your journey. Anything off the black top is illegal here in Belgium, except for private "pay and play" areas where you can enjoy some off-road fun, but they are few and quite small areas. Thanks again, and have fun out there! 🙂
I think all of EU is going in the same direction - offroad driving and wild camping is getting very rare as restrictions are being put. Now I've started going outside of the EU for trips like this and I'll be posting videos of that soon
