Wondering how it’s lasted over two years. I note you didn’t paint the half shaft. Has that rusted. Is the freewheel hub still working nicely?

That’s why I always carry a chainsaw with me

Any idea about how to fit that when there is the a/c compressor in that place ? Mine is a R/R Classic 300tdi

You could recover the titanic with those buggers 😳

Please make a new video 😫😫😫

I’m about to tackle this job on my Td5 double cab- very helpful video. Out of interest, what would be your reasoning for wanting to use the longer extensions as apposed to the shorter version? Mine isn’t rotten near the spring hangers, but wondering if longer extensions are in fact easier and look better when fitted?

Non c'è che dire la Land rover lavora bene. Una casa gloriosa

That’s never an easy job! I've just done this on my 300TDI. but it was not as bad as your's ! However I also replaced the footwells on both sides as once descaled they had a little more rust than your customers truck. My bulkhead feet were as rotten as yours on the lower edges. so I've replaced them with YRM replacements, which only requires the spot welds to be drilled out and is not too hard; since they connect the bulkhead to the chassis and sills which could compromise the overall strength of body to chassis. Having my footwell front and lower sections removed provided good access to weld the complete outrigger on, and I cut a section of the inside chassis out and fitted new metal as it was pitted, and once the outrigger is welded on, is hidden and inaccessible. So it was as well to restore it now. Replacing the outrigger and bulkhead feet at the same time required doing the foot first to maintain the position in exactly the right place, and it was necessary to support the bulkhead and take many measurements as with no footwell everything moves about. so it's taken much more time, working outdoors in sub zero conditions up in the Highlands does require many layers to keep warm 🥶 Having completely new footwells, bulkhead feet and a new outrigger, all finished with Raptor anti corrosive primer then 2K body and chassis paint, seams sealed with Tiger seal, has resulted in everything being like new and all followed with Waxoyl mixed with a little gearbox EP90 will, I hope, protect inside and outside the bulkhead, footwells and chassis for another 28 years. I am lucky to have the luxury of taking my time, as it's my own truck and I don't want to have to come back to the feet or footwells in the future. BTW I think it was Mike @BritannicaRestorations who showed how to cut and weld the top of the front outrigger when access is restricted.

I wonder if you have actually considered the consiquences of this? As length/wheelbase is considered a major chassis change you are legally required to inform DVLA (as you're uk based). The consequences are that it stripps the VIN and associated data, so you loose registration and have to IVA and reregister the vehicle as a highly modified vehicle. You cannot keep the original reg number and have to give it a new VIN number as it is no longer the original vehicle as far as the DVLA and data are concerned. You also don't increase the lad capability, in fact you loose whatever weight you put in, so as that looks Discovery 1, that's whatever weight off the 2720Kg MAM. it's not worth it for the additional air in the vehicle IMHO.

Thank you for this talk/demo. It's such a relief to hear a no-nonsense, honest user experience. I have just treated our 2011 L200.. Application was just as you described..and yes, I'll treat the wheels/spare wheel asap. I'll look out for more of your videos..they are bound to be good jb ps. I assume languard would be perfect for my '53 Austin Hereford

Any clearance issue with the rear springs?

Desperately waiting for the next video!

Nice work! I did mine a few years ago but replaced everything cos I don’t know what the previous owner had done. Really worthwhile doing yourself and definitely recommend the one shot grease instead of the oil. I do wish I had a garage big enough for the disco 😂

is this channel finished again.or!

So just an normal day in the workshop 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The TD5 top pins are Shimmed (or should be) as I recently nipped one of mine up by taking a spacer out (2003 TD5 110)

Well it turns out I have a similar issue, checked the diff oil at the weekend and it was overfilled, but I'm still running oil in the swivels and not grease. I need to change the swivel ball seals and the axle seals. Everything else seems ok so I'm thinking I could just take the whole assembly off! Might be heavy.

Signed, SEALED and delivered! 🙏👍🏻🦘

Are you sure on the preload being set with the swivel seal in place? I've always set them with the large seal removed from the back of the housing as per the manual. The seal adds drag and gives a false reading so in reality you're setting them on the loose side.

Hi, I am trying to find the clip you did that mentioned the rear view camera and replacement mirror you were recommending. Please could you let me know which it was and if you are still happy with it. . Many thanks.

Taking a big risk

Biker music for a Land Rover explorer 😂

Song choice 10/10

yup, that'll do it .. change your tyres there.

amazing what a bit of T-cut and elbow grease can do

Lovin the tunes 👍

God I miss that campsite! 😂

Lovin the mud! And the nice weather!

Nice, don't forget check your nuts 👀!!

You could have saved yourself a ton of unnecessary work by breaking down everything to get to frame by buying gantry crane i own many vehicles besides land rovers i own a rare h3t alpha hummer truck that has lots of overland gear , bed rack dual drawers roof rack , & tent when i bought this truck 2 years ago i didn't bother to inspect the frame it has rot in frame in many locations in bed area of frame to save time and eliminate undoing everything im buying a gantry grane that rated for 2000 pounds of lifting, not sure if sold in your country but its portable and can be disassembled for storage or save space when not in use its very disappointing to discover hidden damage previous owner or dealership kept secret only for a sale

What do you recommend for building the back box camper unit and over hang to sleep in ? 😊

I have a HUGE if not immense complaint!. There I was excitedly watching this episode, zero views, zero comments. On my way!!, I'm gonna be the first to watch and comment...paused the video to make my morning brew, returned with the fresh brew and pressed play. ..This Video Is No Longer Available. WTF!!!! ... WTF'n F? ..... suppose I'll have to remove those sills and body mounts from me old disco1 instead. later the same day, video reappears. Well too late now chum... I'm off to watch graham Cahill and friends. see yas later. nice camp up. Surely an overland rig would have a hand axe. Mine does, as do many others and none of us carry a rubber mallet to bash tent pegs. Where did you plug in all those cables before the jackery doodah turned up? I can appreciate that one of those jackery's could have it's uses, it could no way replace and off grid vehicles 12v system. it's a backup or weekend warrior tool. Now get back home, wasting time enjoying yourself when you should be rebuilding the disco. comment #4 😞

Nice camp these power banks are definitely the way forward 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

New 1000w jackery looks good, my partner uses the smaller one in her Freelander and I run a 3000w inverter in the disco, always good to have power options when of grid camping

I made mine so it is like the Range Rover much easier now to take the engine out

Can't wait to see the frame! Going to be interesting to see so fingers crossed it goes well pal.

Good to see the progress, fingers crossed your feeling much better and back on it mate!

Best terrafirma winch installation I own 2 land rovers that I'm building into overlanding builds a 07 lr3 & 04 D2 this will concern my D2 , im installing a arb front bull bumper my concern is I have always installed a warn winch that you mount sideways and you can unbolt the lever housing and rotate switch to the upright position and reach through opening in bumper so you can lock or unlock so you can pull out winch cable, im thinking of buying the terrafirma 12k winch and it doesn't look like you can rotate lever to the upright position so you have access to winch lever like you can on some warn winches, or maybe on terrafirma winch it don't matter or maybe the remote has a unlocked function so you can manually pull winch cable without the power anyway nice defender

Or wagon with a high hab

Paul why not get a local crane hire firm in to lift the body off & onto the new chassis. Probably more cost-effective? & definitely safer

lickle scratch

Progress is looking good, I’m not sure of measurements but would a short nose 110 prop work from a puma or whenever they changed from the salisbury?

Ive missed the fall out etc. Not sure watching now all the name changes

Glad to see you're back.

The frame sounds interesting is it just going to stand on feet then braced for support that's quite a high level you're going 😊

hi realy good vid just about to do mine,, did you pull the loom out towards the engine or back wards disconecting the front? and did it fit laying along the top chassy length wise? cheers,,

Love following along with the build progress, out of curiosity will you need to have Heimdall Q plated with the second hand modified chassis, or will it fall under exemption from Iva/sva inspection as the vehicle is over 10 years old.. the dvla website is confusing. I was looking at what you can get away with for the 40years historic tax exemption regarding engine conversions etc I’m just in the middle of binge watching the build 😅

Is that some sort of weird reaction in the galvi at the back?

Keep track of your bits using labelled sealable food bags and labelled boxes. 👍🏻🙏🦘

the unsafest sow on earth ffs lol
