@@petteriikaheimo3898 It’s actually pretty great. I’m using it for news (The Week) and tech (CustomPC) stuff as well as the 4x4 stuff I showed in the video.
I love to see another L332 owner building an overlanding rig. I’ve been building mine since mid 2021. I’ll be following along with your build with great enthusiasm 👍
Keeping things really simple with our overland build, sourced a cheap roof rack from Poland and thinking of a portable power station for our accessory power, no messing about with second batteries and charge controllers etc. look forward to seeing what you do next.
Love Front Runner racks. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the car. Also - don't forget the absolute most important Front Runner roof rack accessory. The bottle opener. edit. You'll need three. One for the back and one for each side :)
If you're down near Kerry, check out ladies view, its a lovely drive. Came across it after taking a wrong turn on my first holiday in the L322. You won't be disappointed!
I bet the RR is coming in handy with all the snow today Sam. Keep up the great work, love everything about this, drone, narration & the sound track is killer.
Well had stainless steer box with wing nuts mounted about exhaust one could put food in and cook it on the move. On side of roof rack we had 2 soil stack pipes on each side with water and tap and shower on it. We in back we had more soil stack pipes together with pump and top filler screw on which long range fuel tanks
Hi Sam, great vid looking forward to the whole series, maybe you'll become Ireland's specialist L322 conversation expert. The towbar space is perfect for aux battery, my auto spark installed a motorsport battery in there, fully sealed so no need to vent fumes, no need for switch charging as it's far enough away from starter motor, the fat + running to boot fusebox is enough without running new cables. It's an Odyssey Extreme, I think 20ah, can't read side as it's bolted in. Pricey but worth it, mine's in two years and never had problem, always feel confident daily pre heater use won't kill main batt
@@SamsMotors Hmm, think it might be old school as it’s built for motorsport, super robust and safe and they’re often installed in the cabin of the rally car. Btw, Eberspacher diesel water heater for hot water requirements?
Nice front runner roof rack , but the rear spot light qubes need to go doesn't compliment the roof rack by being taller you need rhe light bar that mounts flush with roof rack to give the range rover a cleaner look 😊
Sam, you might want to go back and replace those stainless steel bolts. Stainless steel and aluminium touching eachother is not a good idea, this may cause galvanic corrosion. Better use galvanised fasteners as zinc and aluminium are closer to eachother in the galvanic series.
Did you make a choice on the roof tent yet? I have exactly the same l323 and front runner rack. I was hoping the Alu cab gen r3 but seems it would overhang too much on the front due to the tail gate needing to open. I am aiming for a tent that I can put solar panels on top of for my home made solar generator. So I’m super keen to see what tent you ended up going with :)
@@SamsMotors great!! I own 2011 Range Rover HSE probably is the same year as yours but my dosen't have the rails do. But thank you very much for sharing the info.
Hey Sam. if you want to charge the second battery, you will have to run a cable from the start battery, through the firewall and by pass the canbus system. Tapping into the 12v power supply on the rear fuse board won’t trigger the charge for the second battery. Tried it, won;t work. Mark
Thanks for the tip Mark! Though I’m a bit confused as the big 25mm2 cable that goes into the rear junction box comes direct from the main battery via a 250 amp fuse. I can’t see how it would be any different running a separate cable? I can understand that the 2nd battery voltage might not trigger the smart alternator to charge though, as it will be reading the main battery voltage. 🤔
It’s not silent but with the wind deflectors fitted correctly on the front, it’s not very noticeable. Without the deflectors, or with the fitted incorrectly, it can absolutely howl and vibrate like crazy. When I first fitted it, I thought my roof was going to fly off because of the noise and vibration it made. But after adjusting it all a few times, it’s very quiet now.
Did you have to snip the 6 covers off the mounting holes? If so do you want to part with them as i've just taken the bars off my roof and there's 6 exposed bolts now :-(
@Sam's Motor & Machine okay yeah that's more the size I'd want for the P38 as well. The one i have is 1450x2000mm and is just slightly too big in every way.
@@SamsMotors I expected such an answer 😊 The reason I asked is because I moved to Canada Edmonton. It's very cold here and temperatures are going down to - 40 or 50. This was one of the warmest winters with - 30 for long weeks. RR can cause lots of problems with air suspension, but how badly in such poor weather conditions I don't know. There is no chance to keep a car all the time in heated garage. This is why I thought maybe there is a chance to get rid of them :)
@@MrLeonardodv It should work fine in those temperatures, but it will definitely need to be in good shape to avoid any problems. Compressor: will need to be performing like new, if it's worn it will definitely struggle. Air springs: would renew as a matter of course - rubber will be inflexible at that temperature so I would replace any aged bags with new genuine or Bilstein items etc. Dryer: The dryer will need to be in good order as you want to avoid moisture in the system which will freeze at those temperatures and cause problems with valves etc. The dryer can be replaced (VUB504700) or refurbished with new desiccant and seal etc.
Fyi Ive put a 10 liter water tank in where most people put the second battery.. it gravity feeds to a tap just below the rear bumper and is one of the best things ive done imo. Digging the stranger things vibe 🤘

Who’s an L322 Overlander then?! (Current or future!) What are your mods?! ❤
The first RUclips channel adv. that I sincerely like and will use. First Ever in history of World Wide Web. Incredible. Same as owning a Range Rover.
@@petteriikaheimo3898 It’s actually pretty great. I’m using it for news (The Week) and tech (CustomPC) stuff as well as the 4x4 stuff I showed in the video.
Brilliant app, such a range of specialist stuff aswell its well worth a browse.
I'm sorry to keep bothering you, but is it the Slimline II ? or diferente model
@@luiszamarripa1555 Yes, Slimline II 🤟
I love to see another L332 owner building an overlanding rig. I’ve been building mine since mid 2021. I’ll be following along with your build with great enthusiasm 👍
Cheers Paul, more to come 👍👍

Ben, was this a new roof rack from Poland, do you have a link please?
Best 4x4 ever
Love Front Runner racks. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the car. Also - don't forget the absolute most important Front Runner roof rack accessory. The bottle opener.

Sam, I love where your heads at on this plan! I know that you will do an awesome job with it! Thanks for the great videos you do!
If you're down near Kerry, check out ladies view, its a lovely drive. Came across it after taking a wrong turn on my first holiday in the L322. You won't be disappointed!
Nice one Sam, can‘t wait for the next one. I‘m also converting my L322 into an Overlander.
Yeeeeeaaaaasssss! Overland / work truck L322 ftw!
Sam, you've done superbly with the upgrades. It looks new, I'm inspired and replicating the same with my 07 L322.
Way da go Sam, looking forward to this series 👍
Appreciate the readly link. Never heard of it but definitely something as a family we would use. Subbed 👍
As someone who detailed cars I find the best way to apply prewash is from bottom to top it helps stop run marks! Love the channel and your videos
Nice one! Looking forward to see the tent on it
Can't wait either!
This is going to be a great series!
I bet the RR is coming in handy with all the snow today Sam. Keep up the great work, love everything about this, drone, narration & the sound track is killer.
Good job!
Definitely a fan of this series! Have to say I miss my L322 but got something similar on the way soon

Sounds a plan! Guessing it's a Lithium one? Might be an idea to save a few kgs.

Great video Sam , looking forward to rest of the modifications .
Exciting series to come
Nice front runner roof rack , but the rear spot light qubes need to go doesn't compliment the roof rack by being taller you need rhe light bar that mounts flush with roof rack to give the range rover a cleaner look 😊
Looking forward for up and coming videos..
I was looking at all that firewood & thinking how much you could get in the rangey 🤣

In 1991 I rode my Dutch push bike around Ireland it took 4weeks and arrived home with a healthy tan.
A tan?! In Ireland?! Are we talking about the same place? 😂
Are you sure it was a tan? More likely to be wind burn and exposure :)
Just watched your first L322 vid again, catching up on your vids and spotted that dent is still there in the rear quarter 😮😂
It's mostly pulled out now, just left a slight crease and mark in the paint which isn't worth repairing.
@@SamsMotors Ah! Good stuff! It still looks quite prominent in your roof rack video 👍🏼
Range Rover looking good and another good video 🚗🚙🚘⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍
Cheers Jimmy!
cant wait to see the mods Sam, roof rack looks great, much wind noise from it?
Pretty good! Much better than the old box section ones I used to have on my Defenders & Discos back in the day!
@@SamsMotors they’re great vehicles to overland in 👌👍
Hey man crangatulations looks awesome!
could you share what brand is the roof rack, Idk. if it will be available in California usa.
Thanks
Cheers! It’s a Frontrunner Slimline 2. Pretty sure they’re available in the States!
@@SamsMotors great!! I own 2011 Range Rover HSE probably is the same year as yours but my dosen't have the rails do.
But thank you very much for sharing the info.
I was wondering what to do with my 2005 RRS, selling it will get me about £1500, turning into an overland vehicle looks like a much better idea.
what about using adding a water-oil heat exchanger to heat your hot water?
Yeah possibly a sort of calorifier setup might work!
Hey Sam. if you want to charge the second battery, you will have to run a cable from the start battery, through the firewall and by pass the canbus system. Tapping into the 12v power supply on the rear fuse board won’t trigger the charge for the second battery. Tried it, won;t work. Mark

Nice work, would love to run a Range Rover but the road tax is a killer in this country.
With the roof rack fitted, do you get a lot of noise while driving fast on the highway?
It’s not silent but with the wind deflectors fitted correctly on the front, it’s not very noticeable. Without the deflectors, or with the fitted incorrectly, it can absolutely howl and vibrate like crazy. When I first fitted it, I thought my roof was going to fly off because of the noise and vibration it made. But after adjusting it all a few times, it’s very quiet now.
Did you have to snip the 6 covers off the mounting holes? If so do you want to part with them as i've just taken the bars off my roof and there's 6 exposed bolts now :-(
Hey! Mine already had the roof rails on when I got it, so I guess those covers are long gone. Sorry!
Haha - no worries - worth a shot!
From the factory the holes have bolts in them to protect the thread: you have to take them out to use the mounting points.
Beautiful with the rack on! What are the dimensions of that rack?
I agree! It’s 1762 x 1345mm.
@Sam's Motor & Machine okay yeah that's more the size I'd want for the P38 as well. The one i have is 1450x2000mm and is just slightly too big in every way.
@@Td5Adventures Yeah the RRs have a surprisingly small roof!
Hi Sam, largely due to your channel - I've just picked up a rather cheap L322 (2010 TDV8 4.4 Autobiography) - cheers for the inspiration!
I thought I was watching M539 Restorations then…😜
That’s a great compliment, thanks! Love that channel. 😁
Hi love the show , I was just wondering how much it cost you on vrt when you brought the Range Rover over from England
Cheers
€0 thankfully, as it qualified for transfer of residency. 🤪
I have a 2008 L322 and I went onto Front Runners website and it says there are no items for the Range Rover. Is your rack a prototype?
It's definitely on there, just checked the EU and US websites. If that doesn't work, just google "Front Runner rack L322" and it will come up for you.
I assume by the end of this series you will be driving over those logs…one handed…?!😀
titivatin'
Is this the Vogue L322 roof rack system?
It’s a Frontrunner rack as I said in the video.
What make rack is it
Hi. Is it possible o get rid of air suspension at l322?
Yep, you go and buy a Jeep! 😜
Why on earth would you do that?

any-one else getting Paul Whitehouse / The Fast Show vibes ???? lol
LET'S OFF ROAD!
@@SamsMotors .. lol , thats the one
You borrowed M539 Restorations music eh
Did I? We must both use the same music service (Epidemic Sounds) 🤷♂️
