Upgrading my Land Cruiser at Red Springs

My Land Cruiser is about to get some pretty nice upgrades I am now in Red Springs in raang Sango Red Springs I believe is a place where a lot of four-wheel drive owners come to get their trucks and four-wheel drives modified Ked up um pained up whatever you call it basically to get a makeover just a little bit about Red Springs they are the manufacturer and distribut computer of a wide range of accessories for 4x4 vehicles and yeah I'm here today to get my Land Cruiser some upgrades so this is how my Land Cruiser looks like right now these are the current wheels and tires and this girl right here is about to get a set of new wheels and tires okay let's go in and check it out see what they have oh wow so this is Red Springs and looks like they've got quite a lot going on here so what I know about Red Springs so far is that they manufacture import and distribute a wide range of accessories and equipment for four-wheel drive Wheels yes rims or Wheels whatever you call it and these are I think icon Wheels uh from the US looks really good a lot of varieties right here which I will need them to explain to me a little bit more later and then they've got tires and these are the suspension system and I think Red Springs have got their own line of products they basically manufacture their own suspension system um coils and lift kits and they even have their own R&D team I think so this is pretty amazing more Wheels over here these are um what is this this is hard rock wheels from the US a little bit aggressive looking which is not really my cup of tea but I guess this is for those of you who really want the rugged aggressive look on your trucks and they've got lights hella lights Hammer roll bar sports bar side step they are also a distributor of the brand Hammer from Thailand and this is the under Carriage protector front bumpers rear bumpers yep from Hammer Thailand and roller shutter I I don't know what you call this but these are truck bit covers H and over here armor electric wing and I think this is a product that they have manufactured and developed themselves and they've also got tires these are am tires from the US as well oh there are so many types of rims and wheels so these are all icon Wheels okay how do I begin one can you tell me a little bit more about the icon wheels so icon is a brand from us initially they are working for suspensions so they found out most of the um wheels in the markets are not well engineered so icon decided to come out with the umbr called icon Alloys so this brand we have bring to Malaysia for almost a year yeah I can't help but notice that this whe has got something special like what are these yeah these are the inner loock technology from icon how it works is normally on certain offer conditions the owners need to deflate their tires so when they deflate the tires it will be very easy for the tire to disengage from the wheels itself so with this inner loock technology technically it can hold the tire even though they have been deflated and then it still work very well in high speed with the deflated Tire with this uh inlock technology pretty cool technology but yeah I don't know for now I think I need something pretty basic this one looks good we're going to be here for a while to select the best wheels for my Land Cruiser on to the tires um I think there are quite a few types of tires available here these are all am tires from the US if I'm not mistaken this is the mud terrain empty tires I don't think I need this just yet because I'm not going for extreme off-roading and over here we've got uh an 80 Tire which is pretty standard looks pretty good and it's good for both off-road and onroad this one looks pretty interesting I'm I can't tell if it is at or Mt this is RT which is I would think is in between at and Mt RT stands for rugged terrain I don't know if I'll get this but you're definitely considering this for the future if you ask me for my current use of My Land Cruiser I think an ordinary 0 Tire would be good [Music] [Music] [Applause] enough so the guys I just helping me put the tires and the rims uh just beside my car so that I can get an actual visual of the tires and rims so yeah I think this has definitely helped me decide which ones I [Music] want all right we're heading to the back to R Springs workhop to get all ties and rims remed [Music] so before putting the tires and wheels on we just got to do some balancing and in R Spring they have their very own balancing machine [Music] [Music] so I'll be getting the Recon satin black this is 17 in and the terrain attack 0 tires and mine is 28570 R 17 ready for the new shoes yeah [Music] since we are here and since I need to practice changing tires I'm going to ask those guys to let me try [Music] [Music] okay okay that wasn't too bad [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you definitely could tell I'm new at this well we all got to start somewhere and in my case I'm starting from ground zero and I'm probably just butchering everything but hopefully I get to pick up some knowledge and skills along the [Music] way suspect there small little issue um while changing the tires of the front left uh Wheels uh we we realized that there was a little bit of shaking and something that's loose uh happening at the front and then we suspect it is the bearing that needs to be changed so yeah we're just going to put the new tires on and then later on I'll have to get the bearings sorted out well that's just part and puzzle of owning an old vehicle wow yeah [Music] [Music] h [Music] So currently they're doing alignment for my car and there's a sensor attached to all the wheels and there's a promp over there that tells us what to do [Music] [Music] [Music] all right oh done we are done new shoes checked [Music] tires and rims done car is looking great I love the new shoes on This Land Cruiser although there are a few things that needs to be sorted out soon the front bearing that needs to be changed and also there's a little bit of rubbing problem in the front tires probably need to add some spacer uh to create an offset for the tires other than that pretty happy with the outcome today there will be a few more exciting upgrades after this but I'll leave that for the next video for now let's just enjoy our new shoes our new wheels and tires bye before I end this video let me just give you an update on an issue I mentioned earlier on and and how RIT Springs has helped me Rectify it so guys I'm in RIT Springs again today so previously I had gotten new tires and new rims fitted onto the Land Cruiser and so far it's been great I love the new shoes and haven't really tested it out on the roads yet but I've driven it a few times and so far I'm loving it I'm not an expert and I'm not exactly mechanically savvy but what I can tell you now is that my language it looks dashing with P new shoes on but there is one small problem right now that we need to sort out with the new tires and wheels there is currently zero offset on my car and because of that we are facing a bit of uh rubbing issue which means when I'm cornering or when I'm turning the wheels the side of the tire is rubbing against the inner structure and that's not good so today we have something to do which is to add spacers on the wheels to create an offset to sort out the rubbing issue okay so these are the spaces that will be put on my wheels and it's 38 mm thick let's hope this works [Music] a big shout out to Red Springs for being super attentive and responsive to all my concerns and queries for every issue I brought up they were quick to respond and provide a [Music] solution and I must say I really appreciate them being so patient with me I mean who on Earth would have this much patience to deal with a silly girl who keeps interfering their work and playing with their tools [Music] [Music] woo yeah so as you can see here there is a slight offset of the wheels and tires from the car beautiful offset now of 38 mm which is 1.5 in so now the car looks slightly better it's got a slightly more aggressive look and definitely overall it looks more stable and most importantly no more [Music] rubbing that's all for today's video if you're interested to know more about Red Springs and the range of products and services they have do check them
