    If you want a reliable and low maintenance 4x4 that you can daily drive then don't lift more than 2" and don't put tires larger than 33", you will save a lot of money and your rig will last much longer and be more reliable. You can do 95% of tracks with a setup like that.

    Great to see you are giving a bit of sound advice. One thing you overlooked tho was breathers.
    The next question is what do you take with in the line of spares? My Pajero I take bearings, cv shaft, unis, lubes & service parts with.
    I also throw some odds and sods in my toolbox. A cool tip I got was that if you buy "o" ring kits pay a bit more and buy the green "aircon" set they can apparently take much more abuse.

    @Shane-Singleton Před 3 lety

    Great tips, Jocko! Also don't forget to check that brake fluid. Over time it'll attract moisture and start to contaminate the system. It's a little bit of a pain to flush and bleed the system but if out of all system failures having the brakes go when you need them is probably one of the most dangerous.
