Fuel just hit $2.00 a liter here in Australia. It rise @ $1.00 in 12 months.
ี่ทำไม ไมีซับไทยคะ พี่ คนไทยได้ดู 🙏🙏🙏🙏
With all the global problems being shoved in our face 24/7 on all media, it's so nice to just see you and your families smiling happy faces, even if it is for just 15 minutes or so minutes a week. Thanks mate. You've lowered my blood pressure for 20 minutes.
Thank you - this a surprisingly. I’m on comment from ppl 🙏😊🇹🇭
You can always switch of the TV :)
@@leonardonardulli1654of course but these days it seems to be coming from more than just the TV source , such as smartphones ( which lets face it everybody has) newspapers , magazines , radio , work colleagues , friends , etc coming at you from all angles left and right in every orifice so to speak. Hard to escape it these days even if you do turn the TV off unfortunately😌🙏
Best comment Ever
Fuck the police.
7000+ for brake pads 2k, shock abs 4k, oil 1k+ sounds about right..
17k for tyres (3.5k each) and undercarriage torsion bars seems decent..
Big reputable garages always offer competitive prices (among themselves and smaller shops) cuz they buy at volumes wholesale price from manufacturers /suppliers and even sell retail to smaller shops-
Keep this in mind ya..
Also you drive away with confidence of safety having proper trained personnel equipment and tools worked on your darling BB.. Cheers .. 😎😎
nice to see the mechanics do their job. Thailand has very good mechanics. And prices compared to European are very reasonable !
The good thing about Isuzu …made in Thailand since 1966…always have parts and experienced mechanics….
YAY! Betty Blue is all fixed up and ready to roll. What you spent there for repairs & tires wouldn't even get you started here in the States. Digging for fence posts is very hard work. Good you are strong enough to work the farm. Great to see the family. Y'all are awesome parents too. Otis is so cute. Enjoyed watching him at the piano with Dad. The piano music you chose while showing fence and your pig in her bed makes a person do some toe tapping for sure! 🤗 Thanks for another enjoyable vlog. Much peace & joy to everyone. 😎🦋🙏🏻💟
Wheels and tyres are not the same thing . Tyres are the rubber ring thingies and they fit on the round metal thingies called wheels.
learning every day
Your videos feel like therapy mate. Keep up the realness 🙏
Thank you 🙏
I'm curious how the mechanics felt about you being inside their shop. Here in the US every shop has a sign that says no customers allowed. Was that the case there, did they have that type of sign or policy? Or maybe you were able to explain to them about your CZcams page and advertising their shop, so they were a little more accommodating? That would be awesome.
By the way, that would be an extremely fair price here in the US for that kind of work. That type of work in the United States would probably run $1000 or more... not including the tires.
Price of those wheels was a lot cheaper as well. All terrain wheels like that in the United States would run you $800 easy.
Hello from Toronto, Canada, I am one of your new subscribers, really enjoy your videos, inspiring ,, genuine and positive,.. lovely family..cheers
Thank you and welcome!
Hiya Ryan, I bet that felt like a new wagon after getting a few bits sorted on it. Nice new tires. Your fencing looks good. Well done, I bet that hard work in the heat. Your pig is so cute. You are an amazing father. Otis is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you so much Nicky 🙏🙏
He,s not the father of the pig.
Oh guess who finally made it to Thailand! 🎊 🎉 💥😊
Ryan, please - a wheel is the metal part, a tire (tyre) is the rubber that goes on the wheel,!!
As I mentioned like 30 times in this vlog - I know zero about cars! ✌️🤣
@@lifeinruralthailand your intuition is excellent, though....shocks, tires, brakes are the optimum you could have done in terms of safety for you and that excellent family.
That’s a good old truck always remember good tyres,brakes & suspension are cheap insurance regular engine servicing & drive line lubrication are a must you truck will provide you reliability and lots of family adventures ha you got your monies worth out of all those components you changed great video…!!!
Hello. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your vlogs! Thank you! ⚡️🏄♂️
Thank you so much!
Don't feel bad about not knowing car stuff. I've got a PhD in engineering and never learned or cared about practical car stuff. You're very good at other things like music and being a first class family man, both of which are a lot harder to find than a good mechanic. Also pigs are known as very smart animals; read Animal Farm by Orwell.
$2.22 for two shocks , I seen a new wheel cylinder and turned front rotor with labor is a very good deal .
Very smart to get Damo to do the negotiating. Your pig has made itself comfortable. Good to see you relaxing at home.
Well done, really enjoy watching your laid back videos.....
LIFE!
Thank-you
So beautiful watching you being a dad with your son.
Thank you 🙏🙏
Good way to look at it is its now 1/3 purchase price more valuable. These Isuzus are very reliable and worth keeping.
I love Cockpit always give a fair price. You definitely wasn't ripped off. You chose a great car very similar to my Isuzu Mu7. Excellent vlog.
In Europe Germany the price of your breaks, shock absorbers etc would have been more towards 1000 euro.
Alone the working hours are 60 euro an hour
Yea it’s peanuts in comparison 🙏✌️😊
Great blog Ryan Betty blue must feel like a new motor now 😀. Very envious of you now as I’m back to the cold of Westhouhgton 🥶 cheers Craig
they're tires, or tyres to you guys...same price as here, ironic as (at least) Michelin's are made in Thailand. What REALLY costs bigtime is labor here, mechanics often get $75 an hour. More in many places. I'm thrifty :) I do a set at a time, hate to have to go all in on 4 each time. Looks like a center link (each tire steering control links to it). Decent price, been pricing those for my truck, that quality would cost MORE than that here for sure. Unless they're cracked or somehow deformed, rim changes are cosmetic.
That disc skimmer machine was great ! In USA normally have to remove the discs first then put them in a remote machine.
You can get wheels online at lazada for a few baht less than Cockpit but you'll still have to get them fitted and balanced.
The more you pay for wheels the longer they will last.. cheap tyres wear quickly.
Hi Ryan. Car maintenance is of course necessary and one should be proactive in that way as part of all around personal and family security. And as Carl Jung said: "Protection and security are only valuable if they do not cramp life excessively".
🙏✌️🙌🇹🇭
Ryan, The tyre mechanic was using slanglish for Shock Absorber. He shortened it to "Shork" so we had a chance to understand him.
yes I mention this in the vlog :)
Howdy Ryan, Damo and Otis, best money you have spent. Yours and the lives of your family are more valuable than a few thousand THB.
Looks like you got a good service all around. They all had good equipment.
Cracked me up when you said “you need to learn when to shut up in Thailand”, so true. 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Right now I'M on Holliday in and around Udon thani. We had a leak in a tire. Pulled up to a shop fixing things like that. He found a nail in the tire. First he took the wheel and seperated the tire from the wheel, Pulled out the nail, used some glue I guess, put it All together in about 15 min All in All. 100 thb. And we were on our way again. Got to love Thailand. Wish you and your family the Best.
Thank you 🙏
What you had there was just the result from no maitenance. Seems very reasonable what they charge . The shock absorbers are very important to your safety. The type they put on are a real good set.
Another great video Ryan 👌👍
hahaha well, you know the saying " happy wife, happy life " you're doing the right thing hahaha
Thanks for a nice video :) Sitting and feeling sorry for my self back in Sweden and dreaming about moving to Thailand :)
Thank you 🙏😊🇹🇭
You and one hundred thousand other people. Lol
After 31 years my husband still doesn’t know when to let me do the talking lol.
Hey Ryan and Damo and Otis, a lovely video as usual. I haven't driven a car in 2 years. I'm not sure I really want to living in Bangkok. There are so many people that have no idea how bad they are at driving, it just makes it scary to even be a passenger in a car, especially when it comes to being in my friends car. He has no idea how bad he is at driving. It's almost like they gave them car's and forgot to tell them how to drive them. When I asked my friend how he learned how to drive he said "on the internet." What more do I need to say.
LOL
My father was a race car driver, and his advice comes in very handy in Thailand!
LOL. I would politely ask to get out of the car and walk. I always feel like having a heart attack whenever we are in a car in Thailand and Vietnam.
Your channel have so many cool music,I like it.
Hi Ryan demo and Otis thank you for your video wish demo could be more on the vlog she seems like a lady of wisdom with so much to offer thanks for sharing your journey guys x
It is good that you had Betty Blue repaired, especially with the brake problem. Yes, always have your wife who is a local do the talking and negotiating prices. Glad to see Misery enjoying her life and get along with the dogs.
You have excellent taste in music!
Wow, extremely good price for all that. I paid 12000 for about the same work just recently. Just a note: you bought new Tires (Tires for u Brits,) and the installed the new Tires on your original wheels.
🤣🙏✌️
At 4:55 the wheel stud with rusty end on it looks shorter like its broken.
Cars can run a very long time but do need occasional maintenance. Betty Blue is an old girl and needed some love! Didn't skimp on safety; tires and brakes are very important.
I have tinkerd with cars since 1963 and all the things I se get done to your car was very professionably executed. Evry 10000 km or every year take your car to that garage and let them look it over and give it an oilservice. Most things done was related to safety and I think that is most important in a family car!
Misery got huge and you got a great price from both mechanics 🙏👍
Maxxis are good tyres,always had good kms from mine and older cars always need more maintenance ,
I drive an old Isuzu as well..25 years ..310.000 kilometres on the road..live in Buriram provence also..from time to time parts have to be replaced because they are just finished time but it is so cheap if you compare to England or Germany where I am from.
That is so Cool! You will have to build a garage so he can park the cars on the roof. My son mostly builds lego & mecano with his son. 💞💞💞
We had good experience with Cockpit too. They recycled our old tyres, but we had to take the old brake shoes with us. They did not recycle them as scrap metal. That was strange for me. Cockpit is definitely better than some of the smaller garages; they sometimes did more damage than help. Also I learned, you have to have some knowledge yourself when you have no access to a good garage. If they cannot identify the right thing, they just replace something to look good, but wasted your money and gave you false sense of security.
Yes overall good experience 🙏😊✌️🇹🇭
Good job dad ☺🙏👍
Good idea not to ignore car problems like that. It’s a heavy vehicle with poor road handling, so stay safe by keeping brakes, shock absorbers etc. in good order. And get the best tyres you can afford. They are the only part of the vehicle that make contact with the road, so they are extremely important. If you are on rough roads a lot, steel wheels while heavier are often repairable if they get bent. The same thing that bends a steel wheel will destroy (crack) a magnesium alloy wheel.
Interesting... I also use the word 'shocks' over the word suspension. I felt like I understood him better then you did here from the states hahaha.
Well done!! You certainly got a very good deal on your total bill !! In Brisbane just the 4 new tyres alone for similar car cost me more than your whole bill 😂
PS. Otis is such a smart boy 😀
I am so happy that you got the car fixed for the safety of yourself family and others. It was better you paid for good tyres. Take good care Jeff
Thanks Jeff 🙏
Wonderful 💕😊 family ❤️❤️ love you all
Hello we watch you from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦. We love your content , and your family. Otis is a cute little one.
Thank you so much 🤗
Thanks for sharing Ryan, enjoy the almost new Car, it will ride like a new one 😉
And as always, C Ya in the next one, cheers 🙌
You have a lot of patience..
Hi you bought Tires not wheels. Wheels and rims are the same.
Mate, that’s Thai women for you. They’re so sweet and innocent until they get you home. Then 🤬🤬🤬
🤣🤣🤣
Still you can’t help but love them. They’re so beautiful.
Btw, my old junk is much worse than Betty Blue. A mechanic you can trust is so critical, especially when you have old cars. 😅
Still cheaper than wasting money on new cars that lose 30% value as soon as you drive off the lot.
Still dreaming of living your life mate. 🥰🥰🥰
We are in the same boat, mate. I know nothing about cars just how to drive them. I haven't had a car in 5 years now and just need it once a month when I go out to run errands, supermarket shopping, etc... I just borrow my girlfriend's car when I need it. I am amazed about the prices for car repairs there. Here in the US, as you might expect, prices are much higher. There are places that will sell you 4 tires for $1,000 dollars so you really have to shop around. Since I am retired and out of the rat race, I don't have to deal with those kind of things anymore. Cheers!
Hey buddy from watching your previous videos I saw they removed the front drive shaft Which engages 4x4. I think you need to have that fixed. And just regular oil changes and Betty blue will last forever I've seen these cars in South Africa with a million kilometers. We call them plaas bakkies which translate to farm pickup truck.
Cars are a pain for sure. When I have issues, I take a guy friend with me so not ripped off. Glad to see the new family member is doing great. Always look forward to your new adventures.
All the parts would have cost £420 approx in uk plus labour so you done not to bad, by the way, that looked like a lot of oil he was topping up with , something you need to learn to do yourself bro, or it could cost you an engine
Your a good dad brother
Awesome... nice to see Tis again soon.. The future Idol... best wishes to you and your family mate.
Don’t worry. Cockpit is good for jobs like this and I never encountered special price for farang. It’s more likely in small shops.
Shock, brakes and tires are crucial for road safety. Always change on the axle
In our village I’ll go and buy stuff. Outside of our village my wife does the talking.
Brilliant guy with good bargain and good services!🙏
Interesting how you can walk around inside their shop unfettered
Finally caught up after binge watching your earlier episodes! Keep on inspiring us on how less can be more! Love from Singapore!
Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for the video. You are so right, sometimes you have to know when to shut up. My wife lives in Chun province of Phayao and we needed new tires for our car too. New ones would cost around the same as you paid, but she got second hand, almost new tires, for 500 Baht pr tire. I would not have been able to get that if I had tried 😁
Proper maintenance and oil change filter ect the big blue car last long ⌛️ replacing tires before they blow is a good thing with a family in the car could be bad
Shock absorbers especially with 4wheel drives..will give way..due to the rough terrain..the pricing is reasonable also..ini Malaysia..it would have cost more..considering shock change and break lining..
Nice video ....all of us are good in something and skills .....even in South Africa the garages are expensive with brakes ....but once its done you can travel safe for many kilometers .....good tyres very expensive but better .....God Bless from South Africa
Hahaha, like you have a choice. My wife always does the talking, i forgot how to…😂
Sawadee Kop - 3000 baht for your tires on the 4x4 is a great deal 100.00 USD? My 4x4 tires are 9000 baht each in the States! Get them you need them in Thailand! I cannot wait to return to Chiang Mai!!! Great Vids
Thank you 🙏😊🇹🇭
I used to live there for a short time. I was treated very good, made S one friends.
Perfect!
You will be In Cambodia soon ( well, when the border opens)Good to keep your brakes up to scratch, pads are cheap while machining the brake disc is expensive.
Great vlog, that pig is living its best life thanks to you all. 👍🏻
That was very cheap compared to Uk prices! You had a lot of work done on it.
New tires are like getting a new pair of shoes. Looks great.
Are you guys near Phimai by chance?
No we are in buriram 🙏
7.333 is amazing good price
Always interesting and informative
It's an 'Otis' lift.
Your “best piece of advise” is indeed the “best piece of advise”. When it comes to price negotiations I walk away and let my Thai wife step in and “go to town” on the negotiation as I will always be given the “Farang” price.
yeah mate, I think that car work was well overdue
The price for breaks and shocks varies so much from car to car but you still got a very fair price. Be happy they weren't an audio break job. In US last year front breaks on an Audi I had was nearly $1,000USD :-O.......after a quote for one headlight replace at $1200 got rid of Audi :-)
Wow I got a great deal 🙏😊✊
He's speaking about brakes
@@dougdavis8986 Yeah the spell "checker" thingy strikes again . . .
This is like me going to the dentist "this needs fixed, oooh and this..." that'll be $1500 thank you very much.
So cute 🥰
Hey I was looking forward for the reunion video of when u reached home after ur adventure trips, this is not the one definitely, i think I missed it
If you do head off to Pai, I'll let you know where to find our regular mechanic :)
We had one excellent guy who did everything except the major services on our HiLux for years, but unfortunately he's sold up and moved down south. Luckily another moved to town a few years ago and he is pretty good.
Awesome video im new here
7335 Baht 225 US dollars, sound like a good deal to me.. I just paid $ 725.00 for just brakes on my Toyota Tundra..!
Hey mate, where in Phuket & use Cockpit, always looked after price wise & service. Before any trip we do, we can go in for a quick tyre check, no cost 👍 only in Thailand 🇹🇭 cheers.
Actually the brakes was cheap compare to Australia
That's most important things on vehicles brother especially if you going to travel for long distance 👍🏾🤘🏾
nice find. you
