Glad to see how well your setup works. Did you consider a spring lift instead of strut spacer? I'm contemplating my options but looks like springs will only allow for 35mm raise at most. Which kind of spacers did you go with for yours and would you recommend them? Thanks
I did not go with a spring lift because of the way they achieve the lift. The front spring are just stiffer. The rear are a bit longer. But you end up with a much stiffer ride. And for off roading that’s the opposite of what you want. I went with a tema4x4 spacer lift because of the price. The white outlander also has the same thing combined with lift springs also. I would recommend Anderson design lift spacers over the tema ones because they are made of metal rather than polyurethane.
@@wackyrick2103 I’ve learned that resently. They were not available at the time I purchased mine. I’d still recommend Anderson design because they’re a small American company and they make high quality parts.

Hi mate, i just can't believe what you do to your outlander it is great. Have you done any mods? Do you think it'll be worth it? Like lift, better all terrain tyres, maybe smaller rims, bash plate? I know is not a "real 4x4" but feel it could do for a great overland car. I got one stock standard at the moment
How it going. So... yes I’ve done mods. Check out some of my other videos to see some better action than this video. Would it be worth it to do mods? Heck yes! I have a 1.5inch(40mm) strut spacer lift from Tema4x4 off of Amazon. It is great having the extra clearance and peace of mind when off roading! I have all terrain tires and I’ve done trails with my stock tires then with my all terrains, and it’s night and day difference how much better it does with all terrains! It’s a huge help! It isn’t gonna turn it into a 4x4 rock crawler by any means. But it helps unlock the capabilities of the vehicle for sure!!! Smaller rims would also be a big help for airing down. I’m running 2” taller than stock tires. A bash plate would also be a great idea. Unfortunately at the moment there is no mass produced bash plate we can buy here. Have to get something custom made. If your gonna put a bunch of extra weight in the vehicle, the rear springs are pretty weak. I’d recommend going with a spring lift rather than a spacer lift. If you’d like anymore info hit me up. Or find me on instagram. Same name as my CZcams name. I’m no professional CZcamsr. I’m just a guy.

@@jklpino thanks, sorry for bothering you with so many questions, not much info on outlander off road. In your experience, what is your preferred config for different terrains? Sand/mud/gravel...I mean D vs Ds vs L // 4wd lock vs 4wd auto // traction control Off vs On
@@FernitoAM it’s no bother at all. I enjoy informing people and talking about my car. So... the modes depends on the terrain your on and your skill and comfort level. Most of the time you want to be in low gear, lock mode, and traction control on. If your at higher speeds you can use sport gear. If your on very steep or loose terrain where you need a little more momentum, keep it in low gear, lock mode, with traction control off. The AWD system will still transfer power around, but it will no longer electronically lock the front diff and it will allow full RPM to spin the tires. If your experience level is lower, keep the traction control on, it does better moving power around but kills the throttle if you start spinning tires. So if you don’t have the confidence, then leave traction control on, and if you can’t do it you can’t do it. As you get more experienced. You can play with turning the traction control off. On sleep inclines your hill start assist is gonna drag the brakes and kill your ability to get going again from a stop. You can use your E-brake to prevent this or just wait the 3 seconds for it to disengage your brakes. When you on a steep hill and having troubling getting going again, turning traction control off will also help. As you get better maintaining momentum is key in this vehicle. And if your concerned you may not make a climb but you wanna give it all you can. Turn traction control off, but you have to maintain momentum! I usually drive off road 99% of the time in low or sport gear. Lock mode. And traction control on. If I feel I need to I’ll turn traction control off. But usually if it’s a short burst of an obstacle, I’ll leave traction control on, try to get some momentum and floor it through the obstacle.
Awesome video, both Outlanders did a very good job. Is the white Outlander using the OEM hitch receiver? I know that the aftermarket receivers seem to protrude more and get in the way and not give enough clearance for off roading. Thank you!
I’m not sure if the white outlanders hitch is OEM or not. I resently got a aftermarket for the blue outlander. It does protrude out a bit. But I consider it protection for my rear bumper that has been hit many times now.
Sorry, I tried finding but couldn’t see the exact manufacturer of the rims. And specific offset. I know you said 15 to 18 positive but I would like to get them exactly. Did you use any spacers? I want to get Andersons lift kit, would that be enough to avoid any rubbing with the 245/70/16… you mentioned you also have something else on the white one.
The blue vehicle has stock rims with a 38 degree offset. The white one, idk the rim manufacturer, but it has a 20 degree offset. I run on the blue vehicle a 235/60r18, you can run that size without a lift. I have a 40mm tema4x4 lift on the blue vehicle, I do not run spacers on wheels, neither vehicle does. With the 245/70r16’s, that is what the white vehicle runs, you’ll only rub with the steering wheel at full lock under articulation. And it’s not to bad.
No. There’s no need. The front will hit the axles if you disconnect them. The rear gains you maybe 1/2” more travel. It’s really not worth the effort disconnecting them. I’ve done articulation test with both the front and rear disconnected and it’s barely noticeable the extra articulation. Not worth the hassle to me.
The dark blue one(black) is a 2.4L 4 cylinder gas engine with a CVT transmission. The white one is a GT model with a 3.0L V6 gas engine with a regular torque converter style transmission. I can’t remember if it’s a 5 or 6 speed transmission.
I'm thinking of upgrading my car to do some beach driving. Still on the fence currently. What's your thoughts on options for recovery in cases where we get stuck? I'm not sure if outlander has any rated recovery points.
You don’t NEED any upgrades to just drive on the sand. Lower your tires to 15-20psi depending on the sand. Turn traction control off. And keep your momentum up. There is no “rated” recovery points on the vehicle at all. There’s 2 hooks in front you can hook to together to gain strength. And one in the rear. I’d recommend getting a hitch for the rear and using that as your recovery point. But it’s still not a “rated” recovery point. Your still attaching to the unibody. For the sand I’d recommend just some traction boards. I’ve driven in the sand many times, up through the dunes, in soft stuff and never been stuck. You just have to be smart about what you do. Keep your momentum up, traction control off, keep it in low for max torque, and be smart about where you attempt to go.
@@jklpino thanks for your reply! I'm trying to prepare for the worst haha. I love going onto islands in Australia for camping. But they can be quite harsh, obviously try to apply common sense as much as possible. But just in case ha.. It would be very helpful if you have any recovery videos as well as there are none out there for outlanders.Any particular brand of Hitch you recommend? Danny :) thanks for your tips again!
@@YFMphotography any brand of hitch is fine. They’re all going to be stronger than the unibody it’s bolted to. I don’t have any recovery videos because I’m usually by myself. And I try not to do anything to crazy to get myself stuck. But I no how tricky it can be in sand. Especially going to Fraser Island and some other cool spots you guys have. Best you can do is put it in low gear and floor it. Traction boards would be the next best thing. Beyond that for self recovery in the sand, there’s not many options. You’ll have to get drug out of there by another vehicle. And hope it doesn’t rip your car apart. I’d highly recommend a kinetic rope for that scenario to try and put the lease shock load possible on your car. I’d recommend 100% getting a kinetic road that’s rated for the weight of your vehicle so if you do have to ask someone to yank you out, you have a rope that will have some give and not rip your car apart.
@@jklpino ofcourse :) have the tracks, ropes, and tyres dsflation gear. planning 2 inch lift and at tyres. And also important is a shovel lol... Thanks mate, love your videos
No. I try to be careful. I did hit the underside of the car on this trip but there was no damage. The only “recovery point I have is the hitch. Which likely the strongest point on the car to grab from. Anywhere else you risk ripping the vehicle apart. Even the hitch is not a rated recovery point. So you have to be careful. It’s not designed to be yanked on.
Hi, What AT tyres would you recommend? I have 2019 PHEV. Would also recommend just keeping them on for daily commutes or Changing them over for journeys with rough terrain? I don't go off roading even though I live in deepest darkest Scotland but thought I' get an expert's opinion.
If you want a good mild AT tire that performs well on and off road. I highly recommend Yokohama Geolander AT G015. They’re a great mild AT tire. I would recommend just keeping them on all the time. I would only change out tires if they were a dedicated snow tire or maybe a mud terrain tire. There’s no need to change out a all terrain rated tire. There is also larger tire sizes you could go to. But that would decrease your fuel economy. But so will any all terrain tire. You’ll probably loose 1-2mpg with any stock size all terrain tire.
@@jklpino The tyres in the white Outlander in the video looked really good on it along with the Spare tyre mount at th rear. I'm looking at getting a spare tyre towbar mount installed as well but as you know with everything British and the need to want to be different from the rest I'm having to get a specialist company to manufacture me customer me a UK/US adapter to mount an Australian Mirrack Spare tyre mount! I have to get that shipped over from Oz too! They don't have any of that here!! You guys are lucky!
I have the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail in my 2018 Outlander and they're pretty great. Billed as the first off road tire for crossovers. You don't need to change or upgrade anything as Falken makes them for stock Outlanders.
That would be very sweet of you. The reason behind my question is that i'm going to run same size tires. 245/70r16. Just want to make sure if has done anything else that secures the height/lift@@jklpino
I don’t have a PHEV. But I imagine the regular lift kit should work. And for $150 I’d risk it to find out. If you want to double check. Look up the part numbers for the front and rear strut assembles and see if they’re the same. Even if they’re different it might still fit if the bolt pattern is the same. That’s all the matters. The spring rates may be different giving them different part numbers. I don’t no.
@@dakotah1828 lol. I don’t mind. I no exactly how he did the wiring. He brought the wiring down the back of the car, squeezed it behind the tail tight on one side, ran the wires under carpet and behind trim pieces, around and to the center console. Bought a matching button switch from Amazon and wired to a factor blank spot of the center console below the radio screen, in front of the shifter.
Both of these vehicles are lifted with larger all terrain tires. The blue one has a 2.5” lift with 2” taller than stock tires for a total of 3.5” total lift. The white one has a 2” front lift and 2.5” rear lift with 2.5” taller than stock tires for a total of 3.25” front lift and 3.75” rear lift. The blue one is a 4 cylinder with a CVT transmission, the white one is a GT V6 with a 6 sped automatic transmission.
@@jklpino I thought the adf lift was only 1.5”? Could you do a video showing what else you did to lift your outlander up to 2.5”? I know rev9k has the longer springs too
@@noah22261 it is only a 1.5” lift. I installed a temporary spring spacer lift from O’rilleys. They’re just rubber blocks between the springs. I don’t recommend doing it for on the road driving. I’m not gonna make a video for that because I don’t want to recommend anyone doing that.
@@hpfsoluciones because it pretty much takes away that part of the coils ability to spring. So you’ll bottom out your coils sooner. You’ll have less down travel. And it will just ride rough. Your making the ride stiffer by taking away one coils ability to compress. So all the other coils compress quicker making the ride more stiff and harsh.

That would be very sweet of you. The reason behind my question is that i'm going to run same size tires. 245/70r16.
Just want to make sure if has done anything else that secures the height/lift@@jklpino
@@Martin_B_Hoyer sorry for the delay. I just sent him a message. I’ll get back to you.
@@Martin_B_Hoyer ok, I talked to Mario with the white outlander. He has the 40mm strut spacer lift. And king lift springs.
@@jklpino So a double lift kinda. Thank you :-) !
Another question. Have you installed a lift kit to your PHEV?
I don’t have a PHEV. But I imagine the regular lift kit should work. And for $150 I’d risk it to find out. If you want to double check. Look up the part numbers for the front and rear strut assembles and see if they’re the same. Even if they’re different it might still fit if the bolt pattern is the same. That’s all the matters. The spring rates may be different giving them different part numbers. I don’t no.
Outlander SUV but shoes muscle
What size tire wheel combo the white one running??
I'm here for this also
What rack is on the white one I'm thinking of doing something similar
Mmm... Im not sure, I’ll ask him. I believe it’s just a random $150 Amazon roof rack.
@@jklpino I appreciate it if you don't mind can you ask him how he did the wiring harness for the lights did he drill?
@@dakotah1828 lol. I don’t mind. I no exactly how he did the wiring. He brought the wiring down the back of the car, squeezed it behind the tail tight on one side, ran the wires under carpet and behind trim pieces, around and to the center console. Bought a matching button switch from Amazon and wired to a factor blank spot of the center console below the radio screen, in front of the shifter.
Hello any updates still have the car ?
I own the blue outlander. Still own it. Almost 180k miles on it. What would you like to no about it?
2:30 ROFL that RC car
Did they raised the ground clearance? Or is the same 8.5 inch?
Both of these vehicles are lifted with larger all terrain tires. The blue one has a 2.5” lift with 2” taller than stock tires for a total of 3.5” total lift. The white one has a 2” front lift and 2.5” rear lift with 2.5” taller than stock tires for a total of 3.25” front lift and 3.75” rear lift. The blue one is a 4 cylinder with a CVT transmission, the white one is a GT V6 with a 6 sped automatic transmission.
@@jklpino I thought the adf lift was only 1.5”? Could you do a video showing what else you did to lift your outlander up to 2.5”? I know rev9k has the longer springs too
@@noah22261 it is only a 1.5” lift. I installed a temporary spring spacer lift from O’rilleys. They’re just rubber blocks between the springs. I don’t recommend doing it for on the road driving. I’m not gonna make a video for that because I don’t want to recommend anyone doing that.
@@jklpino why you don't recommend them ? I was thinking of DuraTPE to help the suspension
@@hpfsoluciones because it pretty much takes away that part of the coils ability to spring. So you’ll bottom out your coils sooner. You’ll have less down travel. And it will just ride rough. Your making the ride stiffer by taking away one coils ability to compress. So all the other coils compress quicker making the ride more stiff and harsh.
What mode?automatically or lock
Lock.
Was the white Outlander Revving9k?
Yes sir. My friend Mario!
