Air Vs coils

Thought this was quite interesting in how they compared them in different situations

Watched the series, on the whole it was reasonably fair apart from the wading episode.
Realistically an EAS equipped vehicle will match a coil vehicle right up until they reach the maximum wading depth, possibly extended stays might cause an issue but not a short river or creek crossing.

Thanks Mr. G,
That's quite interesting.
I am still not sure whether to do a coil conversation before I start my Overlanding again.
Even if I don't do the conversion there were some interesting additions for the air that could possibly get you out of trouble.

Ur so welcome and glad u also liked it Thumbs Up

know many of u have first rate experience regarding overlanding etc

Have seen a few mods where extra pipes were added to allow a separate external compressor to be used if the standard one fails, along with replacing the plastic height sensor arms with metal ones

Always wondered how different the armoured struts are in comparison to standard , ie, different internal components or just the armouring of the strut , protection plates for the bags , prices for the armoured ones are eye watering at around an extra 1k

Armoured , front LR011932 £1,200.00
standard RNB501580 £216.00
Armoured rear LR011922 £1,112.00
standard RPD501090 £220.00

Miracle cure in a cloth rub for bramble rash and scratches.

Not trying to divert the topic at all it was really quite interesting and I will watch all episodes in time.

Here is the rub, Whistle during the You Tube video it cuts to adverts and I don't know if everyone gets the same but I got diverted by “Nanosparkle” and watched a too good to be true video……..it is a scam. What a shame
