Good on you for declaring right up front your financial 'conflicts'. This is why I respect your views; no sponsor(s) has bought your soul. Looking forward to the electrical box vid
Ronnie.. I have never been 4wding, never owned a 4wd, don't know much about 4wd(until I watched you videos)but I find myself drawn to your videos. They are entertaining and very informative...well done mate.
Love this channel Ronny, your approach to 4wding is refreshing and realistic. Not all about spending up big or sponsorship, but trying new things and using real world experience to test. Excited for the next stage!
Oh man so many new goodies. What a great looking cruiser. Cool that you've picked up some gator shackles--I've seen those and thought they were a great idea.
love the honesty mate about the diff making no difference etc and tyres. you go on forums and blokes rave about soo much stuff that doesnt make a difference.
The silver stuff you said you struggled to get hold of is readily available on UK eBay so it might be worth looking on Australian eBay in future. It's sold as a few different things, closed cell foil backed foam, sticky back foam, van insulation, etc. etc. I've used quite a bit in my Defender and have used some in conjuction with some foamboard to create a freezer compartment in my single zone fridge.
Hey Ronnie - thanks again, great info. The aluminium reflector on the insulation will only help keep the heat in the cabinet - its not necessary for insulating against heat from outside. What you can put in is ordinary EPS foam as thick as you can fit in and ofcourse, making sure the cabinet is air tight. 10mm of foam is far too little. Good bullshit removal on the parabolics...
Hey Ronny, awesome video. Kind of wished you went for the Dana 60. ;) I know that step for your wife is a lot cheaper than a drop slider but they are awesome for fridges and great for shorter people, i.e. kids. The table is cool, I actually thought you were going to have a stove in there. Thanks!
That Redarc Manager 30 looks nice (@ about 23:35). However I notice it will draw down the Starter battery to 12.7v ... On my truck, I'm using a CTek D250S which has a similar issue. I installed a relay, triggered by the ignition to disconnect the Starter battery (from the CTek) when the ignition is off. (That way I can also keep the Starter battery charged via its own solar setup and not start/move the vehicle for weeks.)
+Geoff Lee I think I can do that in the settings on the unit and if not a simple relay will do the trick. BUT I'm 95% it doesn't draw from the starter unless it's running as preset standard. My front running batteries are normally 12.5-7 when engine is off.
It's probably okay for most people that only the 'float' is taken off the Starter battery but in my situation, I often do not start my truck for extended periods... Days at a time when bush (being a gold prospector rather than 4-wheeler, per say) and also why I've a separate solar setup for the starter battery. (Yes, a new starter battery will easily sit for a few weeks unused and still crank over easily, however, most starting batteries are not new but keeping them topped up will help extend their lives. ) www.batteryequaliser.com/products/product_battery_maintenance.htm
Hi Ronny, I was surprised to see that you have 3 leaf parabolic springs (thinking you would have the 4 leaf)....I am having my parabolic springs fitted this wednesday 7th June. Westralia springs recommended that I run with the HD 4 leaf. I'm fitting them to my 76 series. You are absolutely right when you said that there is no positive feedback for the parabolics. Nobody rated them (all the big names) Westralia were very helpful. New wheels on the thursday after... i'm so keen to try them out the long weekend here on the east coat. Good work on the vid too Ronny.
+Mark Cranston my 3 leaf is 450kg constant load. If it turns out it's too light duty I'll just have to get some that are heavier. Got them second hand so worth the testing without paying too much.
Ronny Dahl - So why was the guy getting rid of them. I was going to get a set from Westralia for my 78 but the shipping to Africa was a killer so went with ARB as could get them in a shipping container coming from the US. Still a huge improvement :D
Love all the videos I live in wa and I'm 14 haven't got a 4wd yet but looking for on I have 2 project cars and love watching the vids keep the vids going
Could I request a short video about OBD scan gages please. Types available, if the Bluetooth ones work?? What you can do with them and year models they started coming out for and stuff like that. Keep up the awesome work...
Parabolics are a common upgrade on early series land rover here in the UK. Gives ride quality and suspension flex similar to that of the later coil sprung defender but the dampers need upgrading to control the extra freedom of movement but i think you have that covered. :)
Another suggestion for an anti slip for your table would be skateboard grip tape. That'd be much more permanent than a small strip, but it's cheap and you can cut it to size, while also being very thin, and it's readily available online or at a local skate shop.
Hi Ronny...Liking the truck build so far...I'm just so envious on so many levels. I have a question (while not strictly related to this video) that I was hoping you could shed some light on. At the start of this video there is a clip where you are towing a Patrol using an equalizer strap. Is it safe to use a tree trunk protector as an equalizer strap and if not why (one review I saw said never do this as the strap is not designed for load in the middle of the strap but isn't that exactly where the tree would put load?). From my research the tree trunk straps are both longer and stronger - the longer strap I feel would be better as it would reduce the amount of inward pressure on the chassis rails. What is your considered opinion as I have read reviews that give conflicting answers. Thanks in advance, Lloyd.
with the fridge tray you can get them with drop down levers so they are at a better height also the soft shackle is a great idea but if it flies at you you may still get hurt as with anything of that nature only in this case less so
+dtec30 drop down slide would take up too much space. I should have shot this on level ground as I can actually reach the bottom of it and look into it.
space as in height or width ? the ones i have seen with other peoples set ups are quite good not too sure how they go in practice tho, the one i remember seeing has a front bar that you use to pull out the fridge then using the same bar lower it down once it has reached end of travel. but i'm guessing you would have done plenty of research before deciding on your setup and as with all of this stuff it will change as your needs and priorities change too i dont mean any disrespect it was just an observation on my part.
Damn... Looks like you won't be getting the JMAX coil conversion kit anymore since you've got more flex out of the parabolics now. A pity cause I was really looking forward to see this cruiser having coils on all 4. Still awesome mod on the rear axle! Looking forward for stage 6!
Ronnie, Nissan/Datsun trialed parabolic springs on the MQ Patrol way back in 1980. Dismal failure. How do I know, because I owned one personally and had lots of contact with other owners in the club at the time. They were not successful for a couple of reasons. As time went on, the parabolic leaves began to lose temper and sag. They were also noisy when the leaves clashed on the override pads, and the more they sagged, the more they clashed. Then they started to have a few breakages. Now, if you have a spring pack that has five, six or more individual leaves and one breaks, not a huge deal and can usually limp hone. But a parabolic leaf failure is dramatic, because there are less leaves in the stack, usually only two or three. Limping home is not going to happen. Same reason heavy transport trucks went away from them. Nissan, under warranty, had to replace thousands of spring packs over two to three years. They then went through a cycle of several different spring set ups in the early '80's, in an effort to sort a decent suspension for the Patrol. By the time of 1985 MK model run, they had returned to parallel leaves, multiple stacked. By which time, the coil sprung GQ was well and truely on the test mules and leaf springs were going the way of the doo-doo bird anyway. For the fabricated rear axle housing, great to see you have rectified one of Toyota's f&@#k ups!! Why didn't you fix the hand brake while you were at it!!!!
Nice mods Ronny i have a fidge up front i used a drop slide but i still need a little step for the mrs too lol. Did you look at the rear coil conversion setup before going the parabolics? I've used the super spring on rear with ome springs and liking it so far over previous airbags and sax springs. Be interesting how your parabolics go on ruff terrain nothings indestructible but its how long they last before the break and you have more flex anyways so thats a bonus over std leafs
Thank you for the reply, I do my own small canvas work, so really just wanted a better look at what he does. I'm not on FB, so can't look at anything there. (They block the screen to non members.)
No good build is ever complete! And your's is definitely a good build. Is it not a concern that the shackles on the rear springs are angled forward at full droop?
Looks sick man! Love what you've done with it. So are you ever gonna have it live up to the "Slepnir" name and add a third axel? Lol. Probably not practical but it would look badass.
Oh hahaha you're right! I looked it up but for some reason I thought I had read six legs. yeah four axels would just be completely impractical haha. It'd definitely be interesting to see though...
+Rory Somerville I committed to leaf as it's only 25% of what the coil kit would end up costing. I can't justify that amount to spend on one part of the vehicle. Super happy with parabolic suspension and with lockers it's just as good in my opinion.
+From City To Wild fridge slide costs a lot and I didn't feel I needed one. Also I have limited space. A drop slide will take another 100mm space each side
Super Video. Love all the mods, very practical and functional. The leaf springs I believe can take in more weight too? You can keep a pair incase one snaps. Q1. Why two fridges? Any benefit over having a single unit? Q2. Whats on the other side? Tools? How important is it to balance both sides, weight wise? is that taken into account during wheel rotation, alignment, air pressure,etc.? Suggestion: S1: Could you add links to all your other mod stages in the description? S2: Could the same enthusiasm and detail level be brought in, in all your Mod videos? Some videos seem as if the owner is disinterested in talking about his rig and its clear you are trying to fill in for him :). PS: I am a total noob, heck don't even own a 4x4, but love them and want to have one, so please disregard any point above if its too stupid.
Ronny, I don't know if you go over this in another video, but what sort of comms are you using? Long range vs. short range (HF vs, V/UHF... Other ham radio setups...). I am currently building up my rig in the USA, and out here there are very few places that don't have some sort of 2-meter radio repeater, so the longer frequencies are not really needed from a safety standpoint in an off-road vehicle.
hey bro, this was an awesome vid. i was actually looking forward to find out on the rear diff since the instagram post regarding it some time ago. got a few questions, so here goes - the rear e brake system that is located inside the drum/disc at the back - do you get lots of dust in there and how often do you clean them - do you have any protection for your prop shaft ? ive seen a few guys here in the Caribbean have bent ones from off road use. - i would like to add some extra fuel tanks like you do, how do you feed the fuel to the engine ? is it gravity to the original tank or do you have a separate pump ? - are the batteries located near the pantry section of the new box ? - engine bay : ever considered water injection to your engine (please ask PDP to share their knowledge on this one as well ) these are my questions - thank for the vids bro.. keep up the good work. also i will send you a modified vid of my new rig when completed. its a Mitsubishi L200 Dcab made for off road service and repair of generators and heavy duty equipment. your vids have given me many ideas and knowledge i thank you Ronny !!
@Ronny Dahl That's maybe a weird question. Your Jacket looks really good.. How is it called and where did you buy it? Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it
+itsbobbyagain any shock with remote canisters should be fine IF they can be serviced in your local area (find out where exactly so you don't just get the old 'yeah mate') And keep in mind the price, cheap is not good medium price to high and you'll only do it once if that makes sense.
Thanks Ronny, we have a few 4X4 shops here in the Denver Colorado area. I'll ask around if they can service remote canister shocks. I'm at stage .5 of getting my rig set up. My goal is to get the best rig set up (I can afford) for my region (Colorado/Utah) the first time. Thanks for the reply, just signed up on Patreon, please keep the great videos coming! Edit: forgot to ask, what do you think of OME shocks?
I am a simple man,I see Ronny uploading,I stop everything I am doing and watch the video
TiMeJ34nD1T ** mid stream pee ?
Tinman Bigfoot hell i can suck it back into my bladder from the toilet for Ronny
Not quite THAT simple since I know where the pause feature is...
I'm a married man and I still do the same hahahaha
BEST 4X4 CHANNEL ON UA-cam, SHOULD BE A TV SHOW.
Agreed but if it was a TV show we most likely would be unable to view it on UA-cam as often as we do.
not to mention the numerous ads for various over priced and possibly useless products to accompany said show we would have to sit through
Good on you for declaring right up front your financial 'conflicts'. This is why I respect your views; no sponsor(s) has bought your soul. Looking forward to the electrical box vid
The best way to start a Sunday morning! Thanks Ronny!
Now to go back through the entire video with a pen and paper.......
You know, that your dog tries to steal the show :D
Ronnie.. I have never been 4wding, never owned a 4wd, don't know much about 4wd(until I watched you videos)but I find myself drawn to your videos. They are entertaining and very informative...well done mate.
gotta love Ronny's honesty and thoroughness - great video
Love this channel Ronny, your approach to 4wding is refreshing and realistic. Not all about spending up big or sponsorship, but trying new things and using real world experience to test. Excited for the next stage!
My favorite 4x4 channel with my favorite 4x4 truck/host. Keep up the awesome work Ronny! Can't wait for Stage 6.
Odin's horse...fitting name for that beast. Great vid.
All those new toys AND a new jacket... life is good!
wow you have been a busy boy Ronnie. the 79 is a work of art.
A little luxury, never killed any Man! As long as stage 6 does not exist, it's live with stage 5! Cheers.
+Sérgio André hahaha well stage 6 is coming but it's more about storage than extra glamping
Oh man so many new goodies. What a great looking cruiser. Cool that you've picked up some gator shackles--I've seen those and thought they were a great idea.
Awesome video Ronny. A lot of new things here and there. Thanks for the video!
love the honesty mate about the diff making no difference etc and tyres. you go on forums and blokes rave about soo much stuff that doesnt make a difference.
Great video, but the best part is the dog digging a cool spot to relax.
I saw you washing the cruiser at the car wash down the road from where I live the other day haha
Thanks Ronny another great video, you do good work and share it with us.
A real bad ass rig and appreciate your honest reviews.
Love the truck and LOVE the Ridgeback!
No questions but I thoroughly enjoyed the video.
Sweet system man, awesome video like always. But you got to give it to your dog she always steals the show
best bit about sunday mornings.
The kitchen is very well thought out I really dig this!
Awesome job Ronny! I can't wait until the Manager30 is available in the states.
Another excellent one, Cheers Ronny
Love your rig! I realy like the sound of your engine, sounds throty!
Best video yet! Great work mate.
You are a lengend offroad bro
The silver stuff you said you struggled to get hold of is readily available on UK eBay so it might be worth looking on Australian eBay in future.

I had a set of them leaf springs on my old mq patrol and loved them was night and day compared to the normal springs
Hey Ronnie - thanks again, great info. The aluminium reflector on the insulation will only help keep the heat in the cabinet - its not necessary for insulating against heat from outside. What you can put in is ordinary EPS foam as thick as you can fit in and ofcourse, making sure the cabinet is air tight. 10mm of foam is far too little. Good bullshit removal on the parabolics...
U australians make the best lc mods👍🏻
I literally just rewatched the stage 4 video and thought "I hope stage 5 comes out soon"
Hey Ronny, awesome video. Kind of wished you went for the Dana 60. ;) I know that step for your wife is a lot cheaper than a drop slider but they are awesome for fridges and great for shorter people, i.e. kids. The table is cool, I actually thought you were going to have a stove in there. Thanks!

+Brad Młodystach constant load 450kg previously I had 500kg and I'm much lighter than before
+Mark Cranston my 3 leaf is 450kg constant load. If it turns out it's too light duty I'll just have to get some that are heavier. Got them second hand so worth the testing without paying too much.
Absolutely Ronny! My fall back is to take a leaf out if needed.
Ronny Dahl - So why was the guy getting rid of them. I was going to get a set from Westralia for my 78 but the shipping to Africa was a killer so went with ARB as could get them in a shipping container coming from the US. Still a huge improvement :D
+Paul Weber the guy who sold them went for the Coil conversion
Good looking ridgeback!
love the content Ronny keep it up.
Fantastic Ronny!
Love all the videos I live in wa and I'm 14 haven't got a 4wd yet but looking for on I have 2 project cars and love watching the vids keep the vids going
Top notch Ronny
Found out what Sleipnir means, very apt, Ronny, very apt!
+David Bland thanks mate 👍
5:42 Ronny"s dog showing the clearance under the LC :)
Great setup mate
Nice. Very inspiring.
Could I request a short video about OBD scan gages please. Types available, if the Bluetooth ones work?? What you can do with them and year models they started coming out for and stuff like that. Keep up the awesome work...

I'm really keen to here your review of those rear springs Ronny. Have you put you vehicle on a weigh bridge? How does the ride go unloaded and loaded?
Another suggestion for an anti slip for your table would be skateboard grip tape. That'd be much more permanent than a small strip, but it's cheap and you can cut it to size, while also being very thin, and it's readily available online or at a local skate shop.
I'm gonna have to get that new factory 55 hook.
Hi mate, I am surprised to see you don't have a bottom rad tank protector. Best 100 bucks I've spent on my 79 ..cheers
Hey Mate. Are you able to do a quick vid showing how you run your wires from the roof to inside the cab?
Cheers.
Awesome rig
Awesome Ronny
Good video Ronny,
Just got back from ten days non-com. as well like the truck setup.
Hi Ronny...Liking the truck build so far...I'm just so envious on so many levels. I have a question (while not strictly related to this video) that I was hoping you could shed some light on. At the start of this video there is a clip where you are towing a Patrol using an equalizer strap. Is it safe to use a tree trunk protector as an equalizer strap and if not why (one review I saw said never do this as the strap is not designed for load in the middle of the strap but isn't that exactly where the tree would put load?). From my research the tree trunk straps are both longer and stronger - the longer strap I feel would be better as it would reduce the amount of inward pressure on the chassis rails. What is your considered opinion as I have read reviews that give conflicting answers. Thanks in advance, Lloyd.
Thanks for the video
with the fridge tray you can get them with drop down levers so they are at a better height also the soft shackle is a great idea but if it flies at you you may still get hurt as with anything of that nature only in this case less so

You've got my dream car
G,day Ronny, how about a segment on the new DPF? How long will they last, cost to replace, adverse effects on the truck etc.Just a suggestion is all.
Damn... Looks like you won't be getting the JMAX coil conversion kit anymore since you've got more flex out of the parabolics now. A pity cause I was really looking forward to see this cruiser having coils on all 4. Still awesome mod on the rear axle! Looking forward for stage 6!
Ronnie, Nissan/Datsun trialed parabolic springs on the MQ Patrol way back in 1980. Dismal failure. How do I know, because I owned one personally and had lots of contact with other owners in the club at the time. They were not successful for a couple of reasons. As time went on, the parabolic leaves began to lose temper and sag. They were also noisy when the leaves clashed on the override pads, and the more they sagged, the more they clashed. Then they started to have a few breakages. Now, if you have a spring pack that has five, six or more individual leaves and one breaks, not a huge deal and can usually limp hone. But a parabolic leaf failure is dramatic, because there are less leaves in the stack, usually only two or three. Limping home is not going to happen. Same reason heavy transport trucks went away from them. Nissan, under warranty, had to replace thousands of spring packs over two to three years. They then went through a cycle of several different spring set ups in the early '80's, in an effort to sort a decent suspension for the Patrol. By the time of 1985 MK model run, they had returned to parallel leaves, multiple stacked. By which time, the coil sprung GQ was well and truely on the test mules and leaf springs were going the way of the doo-doo bird anyway. For the fabricated rear axle housing, great to see you have rectified one of Toyota's f&@#k ups!! Why didn't you fix the hand brake while you were at it!!!!
Nice mods Ronny i have a fidge up front i used a drop slide but i still need a little step for the mrs too lol. Did you look at the rear coil conversion setup before going the parabolics? I've used the super spring on rear with ome springs and liking it so far over previous airbags and sax springs. Be interesting how your parabolics go on ruff terrain nothings indestructible but its how long they last before the break and you have more flex anyways so thats a bonus over std leafs
Indiana ronny lol, nice jacket and shorts outfit
Hey love the channel can't wait to get my 4WD debating between 79 or 200 series but love your info
Love Ronnys truck, Seriously though what do u do for a job these things aint cheep!
+Newy rat I ran my own business for 15yrs which I have quit recently to put all my time into this channel and UA-cam
Looks good. Can we have a better look at the rear end bags? I can't find any website for PM Canvas.
+bullthrush he is on FB and doesn't have a website as he is super busy from word of mouth. Look him up, of no luck I'll give you his number
Thank you for the reply, I do my own small canvas work, so really just wanted a better look at what he does. I'm not on FB, so can't look at anything there. (They block the screen to non members.)
hey Ronny great show!! do you recomend slotted and dimpled brake disks for offroad use?
+Ronny Dahl Mate, how did you get the aerial vision? Is that a drone? It's bloody good stuff.
great video.
the best quality
are those soft shackles rated with a tag or stamp ? nice one mate !
Im no fashionista, but is that a formal brown safari jacket? ha ha
Hey Ronny who did the frame work on the tray? Looks awesome!
No good build is ever complete! And your's is definitely a good build.
Is it not a concern that the shackles on the rear springs are angled forward at full droop?
Would you consider mounting a rod holder mate? or rifle box? Firebox?. Cheers Moose in Vic.
+MOOSEDOWNUNDER I got some cool mods in stage 6 which I'm working on 👍
Awesome job Ronny... just wondering, do u have a dedicated camera man or u do all the camera work....
Looks sick man! Love what you've done with it. So are you ever gonna have it live up to the "Slepnir" name and add a third axel? Lol. Probably not practical but it would look badass.
+Chris Laney hahaha I'd really need and extra two axles or perhaps two wheels on each axle 😉
Oh hahaha you're right! I looked it up but for some reason I thought I had read six legs. yeah four axels would just be completely impractical haha. It'd definitely be interesting to see though...
Good stuff Ronny Did you ever consider doing a coil conversion when installing new diff housing?
+Rory Somerville I committed to leaf as it's only 25% of what the coil kit would end up costing. I can't justify that amount to spend on one part of the vehicle. Super happy with parabolic suspension and with lockers it's just as good in my opinion.
why not get a fridge slide drop down thing so the fridge can lower ?
+From City To Wild fridge slide costs a lot and I didn't feel I needed one. Also I have limited space. A drop slide will take another 100mm space each side
Ronny Dahl good point,I heard someone ,I think overland bound ,mention they're expensive
From City To Wild , I had a drop slide and removed it they are about 30kg well my MSA 60 was. They take up so much space
Super Video. Love all the mods, very practical and functional. The leaf springs I believe can take in more weight too? You can keep a pair incase one snaps.
Q1. Why two fridges? Any benefit over having a single unit?
Q2. Whats on the other side? Tools? How important is it to balance both sides, weight wise? is that taken into account during wheel rotation, alignment, air pressure,etc.?
Suggestion:
S1: Could you add links to all your other mod stages in the description?
S2: Could the same enthusiasm and detail level be brought in, in all your Mod videos? Some videos seem as if the owner is disinterested in talking about his rig and its clear you are trying to fill in for him :).
PS: I am a total noob, heck don't even own a 4x4, but love them and want to have one, so please disregard any point above if its too stupid.
Shobhit Mathur I fully loved the video and it looks unreel sorry I can't drive because I am blind
.
nice , very nice.
Bloody mint
Ronny, I don't know if you go over this in another video, but what sort of comms are you using? Long range vs. short range (HF vs, V/UHF... Other ham radio setups...). I am currently building up my rig in the USA, and out here there are very few places that don't have some sort of 2-meter radio repeater, so the longer frequencies are not really needed from a safety standpoint in an off-road vehicle.
hey bro,
this was an awesome vid. i was actually looking forward to find out on the rear diff since the instagram post regarding it some time ago. got a few questions, so here goes
- the rear e brake system that is located inside the drum/disc at the back - do you get lots of dust in there and how often do you clean them
- do you have any protection for your prop shaft ? ive seen a few guys here in the Caribbean have bent ones from off road use.
- i would like to add some extra fuel tanks like you do, how do you feed the fuel to the engine ? is it gravity to the original tank or do you have a separate pump ?
- are the batteries located near the pantry section of the new box ?
- engine bay : ever considered water injection to your engine (please ask PDP to share their knowledge on this one as well )
these are my questions - thank for the vids bro..
keep up the good work.
also i will send you a modified vid of my new rig when completed. its a Mitsubishi L200 Dcab made for off road service and repair of generators and heavy duty equipment.
your vids have given me many ideas and knowledge
i thank you Ronny !!
Very cool!
great video like always! how much lift do you have to fit 315/75r16 on?
@Ronny Dahl
That's maybe a weird question. Your Jacket looks really good.. How is it called and where did you buy it?
Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it
+gruhlruben it's a RM Williams jacket given to me by a follower/fan. Should be in their catalog or online store. Awesome jacket for cool days
Why not 4 link the rear? There would be a lot more flex and you could run coilovers
Hey are those drop down shackles in the rear I see Looking to get some foe my hilux
Hey Ronny great video, I was wondering if the bar work on your cruiser was sold commercially?
Your Local Critic opposite lock 👍
Awesome vids!
Looks great mate! How do you find the breaks on the 79? I have heard they're not great and the JMAX kit is required ?
Hi Ronny, your land cruiser is a beast. I know you guys aren't fond of Jeeps, but can you recommend suspension options that help on corrugated roads?
+itsbobbyagain any shock with remote canisters should be fine IF they can be serviced in your local area (find out where exactly so you don't just get the old 'yeah mate')
And keep in mind the price, cheap is not good medium price to high and you'll only do it once if that makes sense.
Thanks Ronny, we have a few 4X4 shops here in the Denver Colorado area. I'll ask around if they can service remote canister shocks. I'm at stage .5 of getting my rig set up. My goal is to get the best rig set up (I can afford) for my region (Colorado/Utah) the first time. Thanks for the reply, just signed up on Patreon, please keep the great videos coming!
Edit: forgot to ask, what do you think of OME shocks?
Can you please do a review on the engel 40lt combi
