Once in awhile you have a day that's just too good to let pass by without a drive in your beat up old Land Rover. Join me on a quiet drive through the park on a rainy fall day. We'll visit the Leo Mol sculpture garden and then discover the first Land Rover ever made. If you've never heard of JUE 477, Land Rover Number One, here is a link to the story of its discovery. ruclips.net/video/ZWCTmyOF...

Join us on Part 2 of our adventures at Seddon's Corner as we climb the sand hills and romp along the many trails. Driving in sand is still a new experience. In this video we practice our technique and have as much fun as the law will allow. In Part 1 we scouted the trails and had a close call, which resulted in the purchase of a new winch.

It's Spring Time Replacing Leaf Springs in a Series 3 Land Rover with New Parabolics
Просмотров 2232 месяца назад
Are parabolics better than stock springs? Anything would be better than what was on the old Series 3. The guys help me replace my worn out leafs with new parabolic springs. It's a big job. Does it pay off? Now that the differential is back together I can drive out to my buddy's shop where the work will be a lot easier.

Land Rover Series Oil Bath Air Filter Restoration Hammer Paint Finish
Просмотров 8533 месяца назад
The cleanup from our floodway adventure continues. I restore the oil bath air filter and change the filter oil to prepare for the next adventure. This Series 3 Model 88 had a metallic hammered finish paint. Very early 1960's look. I decided to refinish it the same way. Luckily, you can still buy the same paint. It's a bit fussy but worth it.

1972 and 1973 Land Rover Series 3 go for an evening drive. This was meant to be short off road adventure to test a 1972 long wheelbase Land Rover. We brought along a 72 & 73 short wheelbase to join in the fun. It was supposed to be a cakewalk, but it turned into an adventure. We hope you enjoy the raw sounds and scenic drive through field, forest and the Red River Floodway.

We are slowly bringing this 1959 Series 2 Land Rover back to life. Join us on our first epic, but somewhat noisy ride. This vehicle sat for decades and with a little TLC proved it still has plenty of heart. That 2.25 petrol is a great motor. See Shortround Part 1 when we rescued this vehicle shortly after a snow storm.

Land Rover Floodway Expedition Lockport 2023
Only in a Series Land Rover it's just simply a way of life. They're the true workhorse of the world. Both my Series 1 88 diesel, and my 1965 station wagon 109 diesel are still going strong after all the years. No matter what I asked of them, they always worked. BTW I'm the proud original owner of both. They're a part of the family. Greetings from Florida USA.
It sounds like your Land Rovers have a good home. And they just keep going. I think you described it well, a simple way of life. And a good life.
@@BlaineRepko They have a good home. The series 1 diesel is a much better than 5main bearings crank shaft,the series 2A , due to the 3 main bearings crank has been a problem due to the 3 main bearings crank shaft. I've since replaced it with the Isuzu 3.9 diesel (Land Rover Perentie Australia Army land Rover Along with the upgrade Salisbury rear differential/axle, the transmission .Along with other equipment from Australia. Now it's almost bullet proof. There's a wealth of information on equipment manufacturers for land Rover through Australia.
Love it!👍
I first saw my 1966 S2A 88” at a British car show in Fresno, Ca. about a year and a half ago. It was the only Landy that wasn’t restored. A rancher pulled in with it, still with manure on the tires. About 6 months later I called him to see if he might sell it? A week later it was mine.👍😁 I’ve had a few fun cars through the years, but none have made me smile like this old Land Rover. Cheers
What a great storey. Congratulations! It really is smiles per hour, not miles per hour.
Wild, I remember going to Skinner's as a kid. I read the title was like "no can't be Lockport MB", sure was
Yeah its a great place to go, hot dogs, fishing and a little off road fun.
Mine, is waiting for brake parts. I’m envious.👍
Ahh brakes, I've done them before and I'm sure I'll do them again. I hope you get back on the trail soon! :-)
Looked great fun. Thanks for the video! 🙂👍
So glad you enjoyed it. We really did have a good time. Land Rovers and good friends, eh?
Nice. I moved my starter relay to the same spot. Replace oil on air cleaner tomorrow I’ve already cleaned it up and paint is ok so I’m lucky to be able leave it as is. Any tips with the oil? It’s Australia so getting around 30 or over degrees c.
I use the same oil as in the motor. Typically 10W30 for our climate, but I have run a thinner oil in cold weather. My manual is not specific about the oil in the filter but it does say to change it often. My guess is whatever is in the engine block is OK.
The CD groan is highlight note of LR. Clutch and Brake hydraulics always a suspect.
Shame you can't experience some off the off roading we do here in England like Bastard lane in Wales. After all England is the home of Land Rover!!!
Agreed! Driving an old Land Rover has been one of the greatest pleasures. Would love to visit the home of the Land Rover. That Bastard Lane looks rugged.
In one of our upcoming videos we'll be traveling into the shield country where the roads disappear and we are climbing bare rock.
Nothing better than off roading in an old Land Rover!!!
Agreed!
That's definitely out in the middle of nowhere... CAA wouldn't come get you! 😄
Yeah, It's a long way from help. It's always good to go out with your buddies :-)
Great adventure for you guys!!!
Did you have problems with vapour lock stalling when idling after a good ride? I did this summer while deep in northern Ontario bush. Dumping a bottle of water around the carb would allow it to start right up and carry on till the next event.
That's a good point. It was pretty warm that day. We had a similar problem the next week when it was 27 C. I will give that a try next time. Thanks!
Doing some Ontario back woods driving sounds awesome. I was in NW Ontario this summer and wished I had the Landy with me.
Looks like a good L-R time! Do you have the means to air down tires in the sand and inflate later?
I have an ancient hand pump that I keep in the toolbox, but we didn't bring a compressor or air down. I think the rims are designed to have tubes and our tires are tubeless, so we kept the tire pressure normal. Perhaps we could have aired down, I would need some advice on that.
What a nice ride guys! Good on ya for the winch, you might need it sooner than later 😉
Looks a great place to have some fun. Off road and barbecue 😊
I think we should step it up next time and do the BBQ. Great idea!
Did you lock the hubs? I’ve got a fully restored Australian army S3 outside. Makes me want to go for a drive up the coast. Thanks.
I was slipping on the starts at the intersections, so I'm thinking it was 2wd, but I don't quite remember. Fully restored: must be a beauty! Don't wait to take that drive up the coast.
You had a better line up of classics than our local show in the UK. Lol 🙂👍
I'm hoping we can grow. We should have the 59 ready for next year. Sure would be fun to see a show in the UK :-)
Wow.. parabolics..should ride better now isn't it?
It's a big improvement. A lot of vehicle rattles went away and it handles some big bumps.
@@BlaineRepko sounds like a nice improvement for an old series truck 👍
Good job! 🙂
Thanks, it was a big job, but necessary and well worth it.
How much smoother is the ride? My last ride in Yukon Jack was a little bumpy!😁
The difference is dramatic. From bone shaking on the bumps to feeling like a new vehicle (a new old) vehicle. Even sitting higher, it handles really well.
Wow Man!!! You are very lucky!!! Excellent on the rebuild. Looks like some new leaves!!! Cory
Thanks! The back leafs are in good shape, the front are flat. In the next video I replace the springs. Video will be out Friday.
Say your prayers in the chapel for better success next time.
That's good advice. The chapel is actually always open to everyone and we were very careful to be respectful. 🙏
@@BlaineRepko Further to the prayers I wanted to comment that the Series LR is more rugged, capable, iconic, hard-core, long-lasting and FUN, than any of the present-day computer-managed contraptions, even if they can dish out 300+ BHP.
@@78a67h Amen to that :-)
Great stuff! Loving your videos and looking forward to seeing some more trips and maybe hearing more of your music.
Thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoy the music too 🙂
Hey Blaine!!!! If you know where to get any of those 4” amber turn signal lenses, I would be most appreciative
Oh Man, I've been looking for those myself. Only one of mine is original. The passenger side is an old USA Cyclostat made on Brooklyn NY (whatever that is). If I find them, I'll ley you know.
Likewise!! If I find some I will let you know too.
Lesson learned from this video: When you lose rear wheel drive on your Series, don’t assume your half shaft splines failed. Land Rover, turning owners into mechanics since 1948.
That should be on a T Shirt if it isn't already :-)
Fixing is part of the ownership and repairing usually leads to diagnosing other faults. Good job! 🙂👍
Thanks 👍
I have an identical 1966 down to the paint!. 2 years into the restoration so far! Much better condition than when I got her!
What a find. I just love her!
She's a beaut!
@@BlaineRepko What I love the most is their patina and those tiny 6.00x16 tyres (along with some other features)
That horn sounds just as a Land Rover horn should. 🙂👍
Agreed!!!
Looks like you all had a good time. I keep wanting to take my series 3 off road but after a complete rebuild I’m struggling to get dirt on it. One day!!! 🙂👍
One of our guys did a complete rebuild too, he's careful but he still has fun.
Cool rigs, ditch the annoying music
This is the kind of video that i want to watch..classic series land rover..standard set up..do so classic offroading and greenlaning trip together... Love it so much.. greetings from Indonesia
Great to have viewers in Indonesia. Thanks so much!
Great to see all the Series Landrovers out on an adventure, just out of curiosity who's running Mud terrains?
The LWB has Firestone Mud Terrains. Two of the SWB have BF Goodrich AT's
Americans please note. No 35"s , no lift kits, no locking differentials. Off road driving the way it used to be done in the 1980s. 😊
Ooh yes, I’ve done that too often with my 1986. My wife would like me to return the soil to Salisbury Plain!
Homie in the blue LWB needs to know what "giver the beans" means lol
Here in England we tend to use Hammerite metal paint with rust preventer, it comes in smooth finish or hammered finish and is brilliant stuff!!!
Thanks for the tip. I looked and it turns out I can get Hammerite in Canada as well. I will give it a try next time.
Sometime long before I bought it, my 1966 S2A lost its original air cleaner and mount, in favor of a K&N filter. The K&N works fine and is easy to clean, but just doesn’t look right. I’ve started to look for an original air cleaner and mount bracket but have not found one as yet. As mine has a Kodiak heater and large under hood blower, I can’t imagine how it would fit. Anyway, it’s not a show car so it’s low on priority. Yours looks good. That rubber hose looks a little tired. Cheers.
I was thinking the same about the hose. One step at a time. Maybe with the next parts order :-)
@@BlaineRepko My wife reminded me of the technique of eating an elephant: one bite at a time.👍
Americans never seem to fully understand our old Land Rovers??? 🤔 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
Love my Landy.
Still a lot to figure out when it comes to fixing them 🙂
Some of us do. Please don't generalize. I own three and love them. '57 Series I, '66 Safari Wagon, '71 ex-MOD 1-ton 109 IIa.
@@stewartmarshall4112 Sounds like you have a sample from all the great eras. My favorites, anyway.
I like the last few seconds of the video!
The Series sounds awesome!!! Original 2.25 5mb?
Later ones where 5 bearing, the 88” ones most likely 3 bearing tho but the 109 could be 5 bearing
Brilliant, thank you for bringing us on the adventure with you it looked like a lot of fun. Have my Series 3 109" ex mod canvas tilt for over a year now and still haven't been for an off-road day out.
Land Rovers are a joy to drive off road, even if it's just a little dirt lane somewhere. Hope you can get out soon.
@@BlaineRepko bringing the Landy for a run this week up the Blackstairs mountains and Mount Leinster, Wicklow/Wexford area Southern Ireland might find a few cross country lanes. A 20 km run out.
I have a 1966 S2A 88”, and absolutely love it! Having grown up in New England, I must say those roads look greasy slick.🥴 Thanks for the ride.👍
Dedication or Disease ? Please let me know... I may need help. :)
Let's call it dedication. There is no cure.
It lives!
Love your channel so far, when are the next adventures or updates coming?
I. Don't. Drive. My. 1971. 2A. Pickup in. The winter. What with snow mud. And storms some people do you couldn't make it up no really it beggars belief no really they. Must be mad. I. Drive a mitsubishi. 4👍
Oh yes gripping.
That's so cool...from an African point of view...
