    Now that you're branching out into the travel/tours side of things, I truly hope that your UA-cam channel doesn't fade away into a distant memory like Juba's Travels. Much like you and your channel, Juba was a great inspiration and a big reason for our little family to get out more, camp more and explore more. Hopefully we'll still see you and Get Out Go on UA-cam in the years to come.

    Last time we could take a break & travel, was in 2001. We simply HAVE to work seven days per week. So many folks travel, complain about trivial things along the way, without knowing how others live. My own last braai was on December 24, 2015. Live life while you can; so glad we lived outside our home when we were young. We showed Cape Town to born Capetonians just like we showed Pretoria to Pretorians. So many places never been, so many never seen. One life is too short. Disability and "democracy" ruined our lives, for now. 2001, you read it right.

But I’ll leave some of her ashes behind so that her “Africa feet” stay rooted in a place she loved deeply.

    Brilliant. I love your channel up here at the equator. I have so many questions. Could you explain your reasoning for picking this vehicle? What does it bring over what you had before? What other options you considered? I have so many questions? I think you could have exploded each chapter (even perhaps into an episode). For instance the suspension choice you made, you mention load considerations, what are they? What is the target load you are working towards that then informs suspension choices? Are you going to upgrade your brakes? Well done and congratulations on this new chapter in your overlanding experiences. Thankyou for sharing with us.

    There is a misconception that reducing tyre pressure for off-road driving is to flatten the sidewall for a bigger footprint, this is incorrect, reducing tyre pressure elongates the tyre and increasing the footprint. Some tyres, especially three ply sidewall tyres don’t sag as much when pressures are reduced so people assume they aren’t increasing the footprint, but they are as the foot print in now longer, not wider.

    This was a good video but I think the last bit of information was incorrect. When choosing tires for overlanding you need to heed the boy scout motto, "be prepared". When buying tires for an overland vehicle you should purchase based on the worst terrain you are expecting to see. Even if it's only 0.2% of your travel, expect the unexpected.

    • @GetOutGO
      @GetOutGO 23 дні тому

      So even though you drive 90% on tarmac, you’re saying you should buy MT’s just at the odd chance you might go off-road one day? So for 90% the time you’ll be driving a tyre that’s not intended for what you’re using it for… I find that overlanding in general is about finding the best compromise for what you need most often

      @fabulousoffroaddesigns5080 23 дні тому

      @@GetOutGO definately yes! I think you are confusing, using your daily driver for occasional off road trips, with what I'm talking about; leaving home indefinitely to travel and doing the trails necessary to get me to the places I need to pass through to get there. As a traveller in a solo vehicle. If I'm going to be passing through the Amazon close to the wet season, even if it doesn't rain when I'm there I'll be glad I ran those mud terrains as insurance. Generally speaking my tire of choice is the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T as it works well in almost every condition with few downsides. It's a good street tire and an okay mud tire too, with the payload capacity and puncture resistance I need.

      ⁠@@GetOutGOI am looking at a similar setup in the near future (New 79 or a 300 series) and I tend to agree with you Chris here. I cannot imagine risking my life driving on MT on tarmac 95% of the time. Swerving and brake distance are the absolute number one priority for me and occupants. No track in the would is worth more than that. I would rather take a chicken run or plan my trip properly. Anyway, great informative video as usual, I have taken a lot from this channel over the years. Keep it up

      I agree with Chris, tyres are always a compromise and you need to decide with what compromise you are happy to live with. If I'm going to be traveling and only expect to do 10km of mud vs 25k km on tar over a 30k km trip then MT tyres don't make much sense to me, I would rather have the added safety of running a more road bias AT tyre which handles heaps better (and safer) on tar and maybe struggle for the 10km in mud, than running muds and risk loosing control or sliding off the road when on tar. You just need to use common sense to make sure the tyres you get suit your needs and mitigate the risks for your purpose.

      ​@SuperWoogs well this reply shows that you have never done long distance travel and you've also never been a Boy Scout. Firstly, nobody has ever slid off of a dry pavement road with mud terrain tires. This also assumes that over a 60,000 mile, 4-year Journey through 87 countries you're going to pre-plan every route you're going to drive in the next 4 years and that you will never have a detour, unexpected weather, or road closures in that time. It also assumes that Murphy's law will never throw you a curve ball like a bridge collapse, where you have to drive through the river, or a rainy season that came 3 weeks early on that 10 km of muddy road that is 600 km from the nearest tow vehicle. The premise of the video is how you buy tires for your daily driver, or a secondary vehicle. In overlanding you buy tires that are suited for the worst day you may have, then you suffer through the inconveniences they may cause the rest of the time. Just like insurance. You pay for it every day, just in case the day comes you will need it.

    Maxxis customer service sucks - I wanted to get some, but I suppose because I’m not a UA-camr, they couldn’t even bother to give me a quote- happy with the General Grabber’s I got instead

      Maxxis don’t sell directly to the public as far as I’m aware (not even to UA-camrs…). Did you try a dealer? Glad you’re happy with your Generals 👍
