Essential mods should definitely include extension of breathers for the diffs, transfer case and transmission if your going to drive through water. You don’t want any pink milkshakes.
@@RaiderOfTheLost The diffs, transfer case and transmission of a vehicle all heat up in use and as a result the air within them expands and needs a way out, so there is a breather to let the air escape and equalize the pressure inside with the atmosphere so you don’t blow any seals. When the diffs/ transmission/ transfer case cool, the pressure within the diff drops and they have to suck air back in to equalize the pressure. When you drive through water this cooling happens rapidly, and if the breathers are under water you suck water in rather than air. When the water mixes with the gear oil, it turns into a pink milkshake, which isn’t good for the diff/ transfer case/ transmission. This is typically less of an issue with the transmission or transfer case as the breathers are usually on the top and you have to go through deeper water to do any harm, but diffs are more susceptible, as the breather is often on the top of the axle which is a much lower point on the vehicle. For a few dollars you can extend the breathers with fuel line, or you can buy kits from the likes of ARB.
In military we had only undersized winches. Our truck weighted 14 tonnes fully loaded and we had like 8 tonne winch. They were old so probably couldnt winch that in current condition. Luckily never had to use it in real stuck situation
Actually non “kei” Jimny’s in Japan also share this drive train. Have a look on goonet’s specification pages. Besides, since when have mcm’s vehicle names been literal👍
Normally when there are other people conversing you would say "break" then the channel number then ask for a radio check. In the states the highway truckers use channel 19 a lot. It's fun to listen to them. "Break one-nine, can I get a radio check?" Copy radio check..."this is old moog sitting here at mcm garage waiting on a glad hand. Hoping I don't need to bobtail and trying to dodge the lot lizzards..." I want an episode on mcmtv2 of just you on the cb....epic.
from an avid 4x4 enthusiast whos been stuck more times then I can count, I can tell you, you will appreciate an oversized winch so many things come into play yes your jimny is light in stock form but youve added heavier tires, bumper, loaded with gear bringing that weight up then you find yourself stuck you need to think of the type of terrain the vehicle can be suctioned in which damn near doubles the required pulling force. theres been times my 13,500 lbs winch has struggled pulling my 4400 lbs vehicle out of a mud hole the vehicle was suctioned in, front end needing to get pulled over a log that couldnt be seen. you can use a snatch block to lighten the pull force which helps. then theres the fact that maybe you come across a much heavier vehicle that needs a winch in the trail youd be prepared all you have to do is anchor your vehicle from the back to something solid.
Cool vehicle! I junked my Warn winch on my Defender 90 back in '95 after realizing the winch did not have a sand anchor. Not getting stuck in sand helped big time in Namibia
‘87 Samurai owner here. I’ll be very sad if I don’t see you lift it! Really makes these vehicles look beefy, nevermind the car and driver reports of instability! Cheers
Hello from Canada... About 20+yrs ago when I lived with my parents, I had to drive the moving truck to the new house. So I decided to take it around the back to the yard and up a small hill. Well I got it stuck as it was winter with lots of snow on the ground, shitty... LOL. But then a hero came along driving a Suzuki Samurai, jacked up with a winch on the front and asked if I needed help. Of course! That man saved me a massive tow truck bill that day, lol 😬😂
Also check how they are going with their GVM as Im sure the Jimny isnt very highly rated. I know they havent added a lot but the bar, tires etc etc can add up quick.
Gotta give props to these blokes for being consistent and always bringing new content for years, its cool to see them branch out into 4wds, going about it in a good way
"Stages" in offroading are most closely related to tire sizes like 31", 35", and 40". If someone tells you their tire size on a certain vehicle, it's often the best approximation of the mods required to run that size of tire. Bigger tires obviously require more clearance and taller suspension but they also put more stress on your drivetrain so mods or beefy replacements to the axles, transfer case, transmission, and possibly even engine may be required once you get to a certain point. Think Yaris Hilton's big block only with the entire drivetrain.
Jeep owner here. Can confirm. You can do a winch, a roof rack, an exocage, pull the doors off, and even splash some mud on the sides, but if you're running P-metric tires, everyone knows you're still at stage 0.
Stages are real, at least for me. Each year I did one or two big mods, maintenance and then a comparable trial. Each year as your skills improve and your budget allows you up your game.
@@stiprus_garsas Jimbo is very much in line with a name that would be used over the CB radio.. for the record my friends in land cruisers kept refering to my Subaru forester as 'the little car'.. like in 'watch for that puddle little car'.. up to the point the track got serious and all the banter stopped as the forester kept going without any problems...

One mod that is often overlooked on off roaders is that the diffs, trans and transfer cases have vents too and should be run up as high as possible I usually run a line in a manifold configuration to all and tee into the PCV inlet on the airbox. Otherwise you'll get water contamination in water crossings and have to change your diff oil after. Cheers!
I love that essentially all they've done is aesthetic stuff and ALL the major offroad nerds are probably screaming. Let's be real we're all just here to have fun :P
In the states, we have Moog suspension parts; primarily for 4x4's (ball joints, tie rods, etc.). But, if the 'A' suffix IS indeed required..."What it is, my Mooga?" does have a nice ring!
Hey Moog! I’m sure 1000 people have said this already. But you may want to put that scoop back together. You’re first real water crossing you might take water over the hood. Without that piece blocking the scoop it’s now just a big funnel to dump water in the motor. I’d hate to see you get stuck and ruin that awesome nugget you’re building. Love you guys and the show!

That CB convo hahahahahaha 🤣
“I should say bye”

Well, that sounded like a traditional Australian goodbye. He was just letting all of us non-Australians know what he was doing.
That was the most fucking accurate CB convo I've ever seen 😂😂 I had a CB growing up and that's where I learned all my swear words
Essential mods should definitely include extension of breathers for the diffs, transfer case and transmission if your going to drive through water. You don’t want any pink milkshakes.
They do have one way valves on the diffs , but yeah, extending the tubes to the bonnet may be a smart idea
