Great video, one question I have if it's ok If they are still testing what GVM and GCM these kits will cover, aren't you basically towing your new van and Y62 uninsured?
Airbags have been around for a long time mate, the HBMC system on the patrols is unique and why this has taken a while as no one wanted to mess with the hydraulics. Thanks for watching!
Been running airbags in our van for years mate, worse comes to worse as we covered in the video, tyre plug, absolutely worth run it on the bump stops. Air bags in 4wds aren’t anything new!
Looks the goods. I wonder if you can get them to replace the leaf springs in my Ute?? We love the Air Suspension on the Disco for the exact reasons you went through. 💪🏻💪🏻
@@Travellingcampersawsome I'll be watching for sure....and apologies I thought I was commenting on the Trx Vid....I don't know what happened. But I'm glad you got the message 😊
Hello, I need to replace the ball joints on my Patrol Y62 2013 model. Any recommendation for a reliable brands? I've been having trouble finding a good one, except for Roadsafe, which unfortunately only offers front ball joints. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
@@talalrafeea3023 Get the Ontrack billet front UCA and they also do one for the rear, it eliminates the ball joint so no wearing or squeking, you won't regret it!
Hi Josh how do you rate the rear airbag setup after 6mths of operation? Do you see any down side to them? I am considering a set for the rear of our Cruiser for towing the caravan!
A good informative vid , the positives of the air bags definitely a better ride easy of leveling the package, but the bags look very exposed & easily staked , definitely be would essential to carry spare bag. Driving home with a damaged bag on very rough corrugated track would be out of the question sitting on the bump stops , damage to the Y62 would occur. How are you gvm weight wise 300 kg TBW reduce gvm by 70 kg, 325 kg reduction of 100 kg etc . Heavy TBW can cause rear load issues as well ,caravaners nightmare. Safe travels
Thanks mate! Sitting level at the ultimate ride height no matter what load. Bigger gvm without having to add extra weight to the car (coming soon) bigger overall gvm ( coming soon ) more flex off-road. The whole car drives completely different in all situations, best mod we done!
@@Travellingcampers yeah fair enough. I do tow, but not a caravan. Just a trailer on the odd occasion lol. So just need to convince my self to get this set up for off roading 😂💪🏼
@@Travellingcampers We just test drove a Y62 for the first time today and loved it and we're sold! Now we need to order it and decide on what we need to do set it up for towing a full offroad van. What suspension did you get on the front?
@@GrabLifeByTheGourlays Yeww congrats guys you will be stoked with it! We have the Ontrack 4x4 in the front, no matter what you get it all keeps the standard shocks mate. Call the guys at Ontrack 4x4 in Melb, they are the ones that created all the kits and lifts for the patrols. Stoked to see your new one!
Cheers mate! Contact Ontrack for an updated quote on what you might need mate so you can get a spot on idea! Have an amazing day and see you on todays episode!
Hey mate! I’m not quite sure what you mean, we kept the 4085kg gvm upgrade we had but there will be at even better one being finalised for the bags. Give ontrack a call in Melbourne for an update mate!
Hi Josh, how's the airbags going so far, you happy with it? Still trying to work out what I should fit on mine, got a bit of time to decide as delivery date isn't until September. Keep up the good work, love what you guys do.
Hey mate absolutely love them! Still waiting for the auto level to be complete, that’s the only pain at the moment. Amazing bit of kit! Not long until the new car arrives!
That's good to know, I think I'll be going with these for sure. Contacted the dealer the other day to see if they had an update on delivery, still no batch number for the car so September is not looking good.
@@Travellingcampers I got a phone call from the dealer today, they have 2 arriving in September, 2 in October and 2 in November and none of them are mine. So now looking at end of the year and possibly early 2023 if we're lucky 😪 bloody hell.
Interesting but i would like to see how you change a flat even at standard its impossible to match the stud Hight once the suspension has sagged the OEM jack is not fit for purpose without using another jack to lift the control arm
@@Travellingcampers my car is not lifted and I have air bags with standard spring I found this problem when I tried the tyre change procedure as per the Nissan guide and yes I now carry two bottle jacks and road safe extensions but as mentioned I have not seen a post showing the changing of a tyre
need front and rear bags :D During the week dumped shopping crawler and on the weekends a lifted off road beast!
Great video, one question I have if it's ok
If they are still testing what GVM and GCM these kits will cover, aren't you basically towing your new van and Y62 uninsured?
Nope! Just like throwing in a different coil. Just waiting for the final gvm upgrade as it will be a touch higher
If it's no engineered then yes not legal. Even if in factory gvm
I own a LR3 Discovery. Air suspension is awesome. Self levels when towing our van. Best move anyone can make.
Absolutely mate! Thanks for watching!
A year in …. What’s the feedback cob ? What’s the $$ roughly
Hey mate, we don’t have the Y62 anymore but the airbags are unreal, would definitely do them again! Give Ontrack in Melbourne a call!
@@Travellingcampers thanks mate
Another nod to the great Land Rover, again ahead of their time

😂😂😂. My wife will live this comment 😎😎
Yessss love my Disco 4
Thats pretty sick, but am wondering if you are out in the middle of nowhere and one somehow pops what the heck would you do?
Been running airbags in our van for years mate, worse comes to worse as we covered in the video, tyre plug, absolutely worth run it on the bump stops. Air bags in 4wds aren’t anything new!
These look the goods. How does it effect your GVM upgrade? Don't the old springs and airbags form part of this?
It’s all being done at the moment done will be even more of an increase, stay tuned!
That’s a ligon st mode. I don’t need that mode. Only mode I need is a big bore 500 kit. Smokin. Two stroke 4 ever. 👍🍻🛠
Haha new 300 2 stroke for you then!
lol @ 2:39 in the background
the bags are alot closer to the tyre with the coils, does looks the goods tho
Plenty there mate, we have 325 wide tyres too so won’t get much wider! Thanks for watching mate!
Fantastic job guys 😎👍
Now to design a front airbag kit 🤯😅👍
Cheers mate! God that would be magic haha
Hey guys I’m just wondering if a gvm upgrade voids the warranty on the new vehicle ?
That would be a question for your dealer mate! I’ve had no issues with warranty work
Looks the goods. I wonder if you can get them to replace the leaf springs in my Ute?? We love the Air Suspension on the Disco for the exact reasons you went through. 💪🏻💪🏻
Cheers mate! You would have to look up your specific model and check it out mate! Definitely the best mod we done! Thanks for watching!
I love the Trx! So glad to see you towing with it..I've been waiting for someone to use one for ages thank you be good to see how it goes. Nice work
Thanks mate, it’s honestly the best thing ever, tows like a dream!
@@Travellingcampersawsome I'll be watching for sure....and apologies I thought I was commenting on the Trx Vid....I don't know what happened. But I'm glad you got the message 😊
Great video Murtz! Heaps of info, Super keen on this for my Patrol I have on order!
Cheers brother! Definitely a must 😎

hey mate, are you talking the ball joints on the upper control arm?
@@Travellingcampers Hi, yes exactly. i want to replace all ball joints of front and rear, upper and lower arms.
@@talalrafeea3023 Get the Ontrack billet front UCA and they also do one for the rear, it eliminates the ball joint so no wearing or squeking, you won't regret it!
@@Travellingcampers i will check them out. Thanks mate. I appreciate the support! ❤️
can it go down for highway/city driving and up for 4wd ?
You can set it to whatever you want but it’s designed to be at the one height that will work well for everything
Will these mount to a 2020 Nissan armada?
No idea sorry
Hi Josh how do you rate the rear airbag setup after 6mths of operation? Do you see any down side to them? I am considering a set for the rear of our Cruiser for towing the caravan!
Hey mate! To answer all your questions check out our latest Y62 run down mate I cover our experience so far with the bags mate, they are so good!
@@Travellingcamperswhich video is this? I think you've sold the car already?
Shut up and take my money. Game changer alright, love the R and D going into the 62s
Haha absolutely amazing mate! Can’t wait to get her up to Cape! Thanks for watching mate!
Now you're talking mate, can't wait for those eps. The Cape never gets old.
Why did I find this video so amusing. Haha loved it
😂😂 thanks for watching mate!
Awesome work guys. These look the good hey. Might have to look into it as well. We definitely keep an eye on your videos to see how you go with them
amazing piece of kit! Awesome guys, thanks for watching!
Hope to catch-up and have a chat at Brissy Caravan show
See you there for sure mate come past the Lotus stand!
Gee info only there was a manufacture that fitted Air suspension as standard... 😛
Would be nice on the patrols standard but won’t happen! Thanks for watching mate!
@@Travellingcampers It's Ian Fraser from the Lotus Group... Hey if they did everything standard then you wouldn't have stories to tell about mods.
@@TheMowogman Oh hey mate haha! That is very true haha! Hope you are going well!

Great vid mate. So the main purpose of having this set up is more for towing yeah?

@@GrabLifeByTheGourlays All that is being finalised at the moment mate!
Awesome vid mate, what was the price with the lower control arms?
Cheers mate! Contact Ontrack for an updated quote on what you might need mate so you can get a spot on idea! Have an amazing day and see you on todays episode!
@@Travellingcampers can you get these done pre-rego and qualify for a GVM upgrade?
@@michael1205 Not sure sorry mate, to get the best answer give the guys at Ontrack a call mate!
Hi mate how have you managed to keep the gvm upgrade. I'm constantly being told that you can get one with a bag as you can alter heights.
Hey mate! I’m not quite sure what you mean, we kept the 4085kg gvm upgrade we had but there will be at even better one being finalised for the bags. Give ontrack a call in Melbourne for an update mate!
Bloody awesome
Thanks for watching mate!
Great video! Very informative, gives me ideas for my setup. Keep it up
Cheers mate and thanks for watching! Keen to see the set up!
Excellent video , you may have convinced me to get some ! Would like to see how much stress the bags are under with some wheel lift
Cheers mate, amazing bit of kit!

Not yet!
