- Today on Dirt Lifestyle, we are going to take care of some loose ends! Like any other hardcore offroad vehicle this one ton Discovery needs some bump stops and limiting straps. We're using a very high quality shock on this build and we need to make sure we protect them from the inevitable damage from not having the proper protection in place. Enjoy the video!

I think a non-professional gear and locker install would be great because you’d probably go through the same obstacles we would too and it might help to watch a video made by someone that has a little more similar to our skill set to ours
Great insight! Thank you
@@DirtLifestyle Yes! A professional will just run through it like he eats breakfast. Waiting for that (your) video. ;-)
I second this!
I third this! I’d love to see a non pro do gears.
I completely agree with these guys. You should go for it.
Gear and locker vid would be great. You’ve got more experience than a lot of us, and even if you’re not super comfortable, we can relate haha
Good to know you would be interested! Thanks!
Gears and lockers for sure. I feel like anything would benefit the masses. Determining shims, backlash, wear pattern, pressing pinion bearings, etc. Looking forward to another stellar video!
Gears and Lockers, please! I learn something new every time I watch you.
Another yes vote 👍 thank you!
It's really impressive how often you manage to post a quality video!
Thank you!
I know, right? all of his videos are such high quality, I cant believe he can post this often
Man, through your transition to full time RUclips content creator, I hope it has afforded you more family time. Based on your uploads and your production quality, your still working your ass off man!
Dude it has been amazing. I get to be the dad I want to be Instead of the dad wish I could be. But yes I am working my ass off lol. The hours a day I spent commuting is now spent with my family. I'm extremely fortunate 🤘
@@DirtLifestyle super happy for you man, an I appreciate the content. I am local to you and need to get my jeep set up better. Hope to see you on the trails.
Yes on gears and lockers. Would love if you include how you do the switches in the Disco cabin Green Oval Guild loves your channel.
Love your content Nate, I look forward to your content every weekend. Don't let the negative comments get to you. I love how your content is evolving. Definitely do the gears and lockers video. Anything you've put up has been informative and enjoyable to watch. Keep doing your thing man, you're a natural 👌
Thank you for the encouragement!
Yes, I want gears and locker vid!
Good to know! Thanks!
I agree! You’re one of the only people on RUclips that I enjoy watching just from how in depth you go to help the viewers understand. Keep it up!
I also want a gear and locker video! It’s ok if it’s a vlog. I want to learn more!
I would like to see the gear install video. It's always good to see things done a different way, especially when having it done professionally isn't an option for a lot of people
Definitely need a gear video. You might not be a pro but I am Hellen Keller in comparison. Love your editing, cinematography, content selection, and how relatable you are.
Thank you for the giant compliment brother! I'm honored 🤘
Definitely yes to the gear locker install!!
Gear and locker videos are always great! If you're gonna document a build, I want to see it all. I'm sure others could agree!
Also I'm fairly certain you cant make a bad video. Every video you make is informational and entertaining!
That thing looks AMAZING with the tires on!!!!!!!!! Super rad!
Nate I really appreciate you addressing RUclipsrs and negative comments and some not answering questions or comments. The producers of your type of videos is really a small group and I watch a lot if not all of the producers you compete and collaborate with. Keep pumping out those build videos, do more overlanding vids with the family when able. Like the Q&A for sure. You got a future in this business. Barnes 4WD is fantastic too.
Thanks man, I appreciate it 👊👍🤘
Not sure what negative things people could have about this channel?? I feel this is such a good balance between (editing to keep clean + interesting) vs (showing real problems + setbacks) of doing the process along with great production value! I have learned so much! Also want to compliment the balance between the specifics of your project vs the general rules that apply to broader range of builds. I feel like I am slowly going from "I would have no clue what to do" to "do I have the resources to actually try this" and thinking about my own rig's future. Keep up the good work, love the Q&A, you are making great videos!
Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive comment 👍 you rock man
Really disappointed to learn you have received negative feedback from your video's seem like people are always so quick to criticize keep up the good work
Thank you! I appreciate it!
@@DirtLifestyle How about a critics video??? Show us your project and how you overcome obstacles...... just say'n. LOVE our Channel, if for no other reason than motivation.
Probably due to the fact people are at home in the current climate and not at work, there has been an influx of keyboard warriors who think they are clever but have never lifted a wrench in their life.
A friend of mine can often be heard muttering "haters will always hate".
You have a big enough following to just rise above all that. Which touches on my other point which I will post separately too, we love your stuff. What ever you build we learn something from. Some times it's just the process or just ideas we hadn't thought of. Just keep it up. Please.
Another amazing video! You set the bar very high for all RUclips 4x4 fabrication and off-roading channels! Keep up your amazing videos and high-quality editing!
Much appreciated buddy 🤘
Man, don’t let the brutal whiners get to you. They’re just whining cause they’re angry about modern events and they’re dealing with it childishly. You have incredibly good content. You’ve definitely inspired me and I’ve included that fact in my TDI Ranger build thread. Hopefully it directs some people to your videos and they can be inspired like I was/am.
I think you should do the gear/locker vid. Thank you so much for the explanation of axle straps....I was never sure what they were for or how they worked!!
Don't let the negative comments get to you. You have one of the best off road and DIY channels on you tube in my opinion and I've been a professional certified mechanic for over 30 years. great content and you come across like a real working class kind of guy like the rest of us. Good luck with this newest build...
I’d love to see a gear & locker install!
Edit: Oh btw I agree on the up/down travel I like to have a pretty even split as well, it’s worked out very well for me. Thank you for still answering our comments considering everything going on, I get a lot out of it and I’m sure others do too!
I'm just glad to see quality Discovery builds. One of the most negatively viewed 4x4s in the states (beloved everywhere else...). Wish I lived a bit further west so I could put my D1 to work. Not much to do out here in Louisiana.
Your honesty in your videos is so awesome. I will keep watching your videos as long as you do not wear skinny jeans
Keep on the path Nate. One of the great things about your videos is the extra detail views and methods you give. Don't skip things! Def do gears and lockers!
Great Job Nate- don't sweat the haters you're doing a great job educating people on how to tackle some things ourselves. I would appreciate the gear video.
thanks man.
Nate, I appreciate that you’re still willing to answer questions. While I don’t live in the dirt, I enjoy watching your content and I hope all the positive comments outweigh the negative. Great job, excellent content, please keep it up!
I'd like to see you do the gear and locker install. Don't let weirdos get you down! Your a genuine guy and those who see that will appreciate you! You're doing an awesome job! Keep it up! This build Is really sweet and I can't wait to see how it finishes out and performs! Thank you for all you do!
I'd definitely like to see a locker install! My truck needs regeared but I'm balling on a budget while out of a job so the more I can do myself the better!
Definitely YES on gears and locker vid. Going to tackle the same in a couple weeks for the first time.
I really appreciate the explanations of everything you do and how get there. I'd like to see the gear and locker install
Yes please on the gears! Also yes on the tow rig stuff. Once people start building stuff that needs to be towed, they need a tow rig! And in my dreams, a crawler hauler!
I vote yes for gears and lockers video, I need to do this in the future and would be great to get your experience and any tips you have! Great channel keep up the great work!
I hope the neg comments don't drive you away. I have learned so much from your content and really enjoy watching. Amazed how people have no problem trashing someone when it's not face to face. I guess they are just weak, insecure, and need to tear someone else down to feel better about themselves. You keep doing what you do and I hope there's enough people like myself that will keep supporting your efforts to make it worth while. Keep up the great work.
Yes gear and locker and yes tow rig
Nate, yes would love to see the Gears and lockers installed, please film it. Love your channel !
In for “gears and lockers for dummies” video!
Please Would Love To see you Do a Gear and Locker video!
Don't let the trolls get you down. Never apologize, accommodate or appease the haters. Keep on truckin (jeepin)!
There will always be haters Nate, you provide quality content as many others have stated. Keep up the great work. A gearing video would be awesome.
Thanks buddy 🤘
Gears and lockers : definitely. Please film setup and install.
I've got to install a set on my XJ. Maybe others will also request a gears episode.
For sure do the locker install. If on the table you can do a Q and A over video chat with the pro.
On board for a diy gearing and locker vid. You got some of the best content and I'm interested to see your approach. Keep it up!
Don't listen to the negative comments Nate, you have the best 4x4/fab content on here. Those negative commenters are probably just jealous or unhappy with themselves
Would definitely like to see the gear and locker install, never done it myself and your explanations are easy to follow👍
Ps, I'm surprised that you have negative feed back, your content is brilliant and you are a great and very relatable bloke, keep up the great work👍
Yeah! Would love to see gears and lockers! Thanks for the rad content!
Another YES!! for gears and locker....I gotta do my 5.13's, front lunchbox, and rear Truetrac soon. I've certainly watched a bunch of videos on gearing, and will watch more. Not sure you can watch too many...
I have no idea why anyone would make a negative comment. I have no fabrication skills at all and I am completely addicted to your channel. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you man! I'm glad you are enjoying the video 🤘
Nate don’t let the haters change the way you do things. Do you. Your crushing it on your channel so stay the course and the haters will get bored at the sound of there own voices and move on. Another great video as always and stay safe.
Nate, in this age of keyboard tough guys, you can’t let that get to you. Everyone thinks they are better than the next guy and the way they do things is the only way. Reality is, 90% of the guys saying horrible things couldn’t use a tape measure, let alone fabricate something. I watch a lot of 4x4 RUclips content and your channel is extremely well made. You are one of my favorite channels and I love what you bring to RUclips. Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing all of your knowledge with us. 👍🏻
I'd love to see a gear and locker video! I'm about to do 4.56's and a E-locker in my wife's JKU. Trail recon has a really good multi part video on the subject, but I'd like to see another.
Gears and lockers.....yes please...👍👍👍👍
doin a great job can't wait to see it on the road!!!
Gears and lockers please and keep doing what you're doing. The quality of the content and presentation are top notch, entertaining, and informative. As a Rover owner that is an all around car enthusiast, I'm glad I stumbled on your channel, but disappointed that you have been getting negative feedback and comments. Keep doing what you're doing.
The sticker bombed badgeless single-round Mk2 grill is always nice to see too.
Nate, your content is incredible! We out here loving every second of it. I don't normally hang it here in the comments... but wanted to take this opportunity to tell you to keep up the good work, we see your hard work, it's helpful and inspiring. Keep killin' it!
Yes to gears and lockers. Sometimes its nice to see a non-expert do stuff.
Bunch a pieces of crap that run around commenting And just argue for no reason, throw out the bad comments and stay positive Nate the real fans appreciate you and all your work!
Thank you! I appreciate the positive comment 🤘 you rock
PLEASE DONT STOP..........YOU DO THOUSAND TIMES BETTER THAN HATERS........
I'd definitely like to see a gear and locker video from you. You're so candid and honest in how you present material I think it would be beneficial to a lot of us to see the points where you have to adjust, stop and research, or simply take longer to do because you haven't done it enough to be "proficient". Like so many of the other comments here, I learn something new with each of your fabrication videos and think that would be true for a gear and locker video even though it's something you may not feel as comfortable with.
Nate I’d love to see a gearing video I’m about to do gears in my xj for the first time and I think I have watched the 3 part mini series you did with Kelly about 5 times.
Is it possible to relocate your rear shock higher on the frame or are you running short on space. Keep up the awesome work the disco looks absolutely killer
I will say I would enjoy seeing you do the gears and lockers because I am doing a superduty swap in my JK here soon. I've never done gears myself but I have done them alongside a gear guy and I feel like I'm in the same boat as you where I feel comfortable enough doing my own gears and lockers but not enough where I would put it on a resume for a shop. I've watched tons of videos on doing gears across a whole board of axle applications and I would enjoy seeing your way of doing them and your thoughts and opinions on the superduty axles themselves. This series has been a godsend to me as there isn't a ton of stuff out there on putting a 10.5 or 10.25 under an offroad rig. Keep up the good work man.
Don’t let the negative comments get to you too much Nate. You’re doing an excellent job with your content, editing and detailed narration. I appreciate you and your channel. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing.
Much appreciated! 👊
Definitely want to see the gears being setup. Actually, with how good you explain things, a series of commonly used axles being setup would be amazing. D30 (Lp & HP), D44-D60, Ford 8.8 and 9 inch, and so much more. Honestly, a step by step for all of these would be phenomenal coming from you. Great content as always!
I appreciate you taking the time to reply to comments! I know the struggle with a project going wayward, I just wrapped up my cargo platform system for my JKU and trying to build and design simultaneously has its ups and downs. Granted a suspension system is just a little more technical 😜🤓
I think a full gear and locker video would be awesome!
Nate.... f--- the haters! you are an outstanding human !!! take care of you and yours! if ever in Florida.. please drop me a line.
I am a huge fan, love the positivity...Keep on trucking!!
+1 on gears and lockers. BTW, 1” body lift is simple on a Disco if you need more clearance. Only mod is spacing radiator up an inch when done. Then you can build a rear upper shock mount that takes advantage of this added clearance to help accommodate those longer shocks.
Your videos make me want to buy a welder and weld random stuff around the house....keep up the good work, great content.
Yes gears and lockers. I would be very interested in that. I like when you get detailed and give explanations as to what and why. Thanks for the good content.
Your doing a great job on all of your videos. Your not like other you tubers in the fact that you dont think that everything you do is "EPIC" just keep it real brother no need to sensationalize like other channels. Love the content I have learned a ton from you and it is appreciated.
YES! I want to see you do gears and lockers.
Would definitely like to see a gears and locker video.
Also I think it's great when you put out videos even though not everything went as planned or as you hoped. It makes your videos more real and realistic.
Hi from Poland.
I love your chanel, great quality of video and sound and most important quality of content.
I fell similar guy to You. I start welding at age of 15, that was allways my dream to connect one pice of metal to another. Some next years I spend welding diferent stuff in my uncle company and somehow now I am car mechanic from 8years. My live was allways dirt life style , hands allways dirty. Now my own project car is also disco2 and I love modify it and simply repair it and drive.
I am also father and I know how its feel to be in garage under the car while kids are growing up.
I want to thanks you for everything i learn from your vids . I am impressd that You made so many vids in such a short time. Theres a loot of guys like us in Poland and they really need your YT chanell as I do. Good luck !
Yes, gear and locker video, I can not imagine that we will not learn a ton from it... and I’d be thrilled on a Tow-Hauler video too. As always, great video, great content, great lighting, great audio, great editing, and you are really incredible!
As a Land Rover owner myself, I also really appreciate that you have discovered how great these platforms are. Nothings perfect, and they all cost a ton to build and maintain, but these LR’s are beasts with souls and that’s why we drive them! Can’t wait for some more content on your wife’s LR3 since I run 2 of them.
A video on gear set up would be awesome! I recently set up my first front and rear axle. Pattern interpretation was the hardest part for me. Gears dont just line up right in the middle first try, and when they dont what is the pattern telling us and how do we make corrections? I always look forward to your videos! Keep up the good work.
Nice! _PLEASE_ Do the gear and locker video, especially if you can give pointers about setting up a used gear set. My rig is old enough that I can no longer get new gears when an old set wears out. Do you have a friend you could shoot the video with or maybe to a collaboration with another channel to do the gears? A gear video like what you did with the suspension would really kick ass!
Dana 25s and 41s can no longer get 5:38 sets new. I had to swap out my original equipment D41rear because I couldn't even find a used set. I now have a narrow-track passenger offset D44 rear, but 5:38s are still tough to find. I'm in for about $1000 in mods before I can even consider a locker that's not the 'lock-rite' unit.
I honestly don't think I even have _those_ options in the front. Heavy, over-the-top rigs have dominated the sport for so long that the market has dropped everything the 'light and nimble' crowd needs. So when the front gearset finally gives out, I'm going to have to find or build a narrow-track Dana 30 to even have options.
Man love the channel! I’m in the process of doing an axle swap on my 88 yj and would love to see the gear and locker install
I want to see you do gears, the way you explain things is awesome, the fact that you aren’t an expert but are competent makes it better
I'm a believer in 50/50 on suspension up travel versus down travel. To qualify that, and your situations might be drastically different locally, I live about 30 mins from the Rubicon and an 1hr from Fordyce Creek. These are big boy trails, even after the softening love given to the Rubicon....she's not the girl of her past by any means.
Please do a vid for the gears and locker!
There are quite a few things so far that I would have never thought of attempting but after seeing you do/explain, it makes wayyy more sense.
Between your ideas, knowledge, and fabrication skills, you are a true artist. This is an incredible channel, keep up the great work, Nate!!!
Thank you!
Love your vids and work! Gears and lockers, yes please! Would really appreciate it! Nate, do not react on any negative comment, ignore them, don't even read them.
Thank you buddy 🤘 I appreciate it
That is SICK LOOKING!!! Love it. You are making me want to start looking at disco’s!
Thanks! Don't buy one unless you want to fall in love lol
YES to Gear and Locker install. Thanks Nate
I cant even think why anyone would have anything negative to say about your videos? People suck! Keep up the great work. There are plenty of us who enjoy the content you create.
I speak for the masses when I say we’d all watch a video about changing lug nuts on your rig. Just saying. Awesome content as always👍🏻
Lol thanks man!
I'm interested in seeing how you do a gear and locker install.
Don't sweat the fact you are doing things nobody else has done and you run into sticking spots. You are showing reality! Thanks for the videos and the truth on how things "actually" go together. Yet again, great info. Keep up the great work.
I think it would be cool to see how you do gears and lockers. I've done gears quite a few times through school and rebuilding axles for friends, and I think it would be interesting to see how others do. I've found that through watching others do things like this I learn something to help me get better at it.
I think a gear and locker would be a awesome idea. I need to do gear change in my 78 CJ.
Love my 6112/5160 combo on the Taco!!
Keep doing what your doing Nate! I really enjoy the content and quality you put into your work/videos! Negative comments are usually from people that your can never make happy in the first place. Discovery channel or one of the car channels needs to give you a show!! God bless!!!
Question about suspention travel, do you beleive front and rear should have the same travel? In my rig. Suzuki Jimny. I would say i have 70 :30 ratio of rear to front. Meaning 70 percent of my flex comes from the rear axel.. Would 50:50 always be reccomended? Ps ignore the haters, they have many other videos they can go watch if they don't like these.
I will answer this in the next 1 ton swap video 🤘
Yeah defender and disco have shorter shocks on the rear compared to the front, just caus the way they r mounted
Definitely do a gear and locker video. We really enjoy the quality you put into delivering with your content.
My new favorite channel. Your skills and how you approach your fabrication and videos are impressive!
was going to ask asbout the ABS... If you have turned the ignition on with the sensors disconnected, you will need to clear the faults logged, which will keep the ABS lamp on. (as a note, if the lamp comes on, goes off and then comes on again you don't have logged faults.) Get that ABS video up soon! Happy to chat about any issues. ps. I have put the WABCO D system on my Salisbury axle'd 110... basically that is a 1st to my knowledge.
Do a gears and locker video, learning so much from your channel, definitely love all the white board teaching. Keep it up brother
Nice! Just saw this video. I swapped from Rancho 9000s to Bilstein 7100s (no reservoirs) on my Scout back in 2014. '78 Scout II. Huge improvement. I've played with the valving a little and got them better that the factory shim stacks. I like that I can replace parts on the shocks also. Came in handy since the front shafts began to rust. Under the chrome! So inspect those shock shafts.
Hey dude, I've learned so much from you and your attitude of a basic manly man is awesome, we want to know what's in your head. Not necessarily ALL of the info. Your doing great man please don't give up! My favorite channel!
Fantastic Nate! You’re mentoring me now for my ‘01 SportTrac (re)built in a few years. Great stuff. Thanks!
I want to see the gear install. It doesn't need to be 100% educational if you're not comfortable with it. I enjoy anything you post.
Don't pay attention to the haters. This is the best how to 4x4 on RUclips.
I’d love to see your gear and locker install video! It’s always great to see different perspectives and techniques for this. I’ve never tackled that myself but I’d love to learn from someone who can do so and explain in simplified lingo like you are good at doing in your videos!!
