Land Rover Discovery 2 Muddy Trails

Exploring some of the trails in South Nanaimo in my 2000 Land Rover Discovery II, equipped with 33” mud terrain tires, an electronic centre diff lock and the factory 4ETC traction control system as well as a 2” lift. This particular trail is well shaded from the sun and much of the mud remains early in the summer. What makes this trail difficult is the many root systems combined with the muddy terrain. Watch the Disco get down and dirty.

Outstanding solo footage, driving, and location in a rig built for the occasion. Well done.

5:32 was wild, great video

[@VanIsleDisco]

Thanks for watching Zachary. In my video where I challenge the Toyota 4 runners, I drive through that mud pit again, but it was slightly deeper. Check it out when you have a chance

[@fitzventure]

That was great. I can imagine how muddy your shoes got placing the camera for some of those shots.

Bro well done this was awesome

[@VanIsleDisco]

Thanks bro! It was a lot of fun to film

That's the real good 4x4

That CDL electric switch caught my eye! How’d you do it?

[@VanIsleDisco]

I bought some angle iron and some steel flat bar, cut, drilled and fitted them as a bracket and lever, then installed a 2” linear actuator to it and the diff lock spigot. It is wired to the switch and borrows power from the 12v accessory socket. The steps are on the Land Rover forums somewhere. I can’t remember exactly where, but it works well!

@@VanIsleDisco Good idea!

[@danieleble5706]

Truck looks great! What kind of lift do you have to fit the 33's? 2 inch?

[@VanIsleDisco]

Thanks! 2” lift is perfect for this tire size. I am running the Terrafirma all terrain shocks, rear air spacers and medium duty springs in the front.

[@triple-stan]

Looking good man. Shoot me a msg if cone to the mainland we can git the trails I our landies

[@garviere]

Pretty good video except that I don’t like it when getting through a stage is edited and the camera position changed. It just feels like some cheating has gone on.
I mean ok if it takes 20 attempts and you don’t want the video to be too long, then fine, edit some of them out but leave the camera in position and show the last failed attempt followed by the successful one plus any digging or winching (I know you don’t have one but someone else with you might) you may have had to do, it’s all part of the craft. Otherwise I enjoyed the correct speed you approached stages at, no point in breaking anything by hitting it too hard eh, nice!
Thanks

What is the metric size?

[@VanIsleDisco]

265/75/16

[@all4dirt]

It looks great, glad to see another LR owner using it as intended.

[@VanIsleDisco]

@@all4dirt Thank you. It’s a ton of fun.

[@alifuatyuvali9912]

@@VanIsleDisco 265/75/16 isn't 33 inch. Are you sure you got the correct tire size? They do look like 33" tires but what you said is a 31.5" tire

[@VanIsleDisco]

@@alifuatyuvali9912 ahh sorry, they are a 285/75/16 which is 32.8”. I must have got mixed up.
