Lots of LR3/4 drivers dont understand that for the traction control to work, you have to stay in the power. The computer will figure out what is going on at the wheels and adjust accordingly. Good content! Keep the LR3 content coming!
Great build. My experience with LRs is that 33's are pretty much perfect for offroading and saving wheel bearings, axles etc. 35's look cool but a bit counterproductive in my opinion. Good content overall.
I don’t even disagree. I just wanted to see if I could make this happen. Haha. The gearing offroad is actually better than I thought it would be, so that’s nice.
Pressure wash the all the joints and connections. Then spray silicone lube to get rid of the squeaks. It helps to lift the truck off the ground to do this
I have a disco Series 2 lifted on 33s and it is absolutely amazing what it does with no sway bars on front and rear solid axles but I would like to get a D3 just for longer trips kind of more luxurious on the highway. I got the D2 pretty flexed out and when you're going over 60 it gets a little sketchy LOL
I knew someone would come along with this response…. If you do almost any bigger tire size on these you have to do what’s called an SYA kit. It essentially moves the bump zones down, but interestingly extends your rear travel so that you have more overall travel than stock. On the front, you do lose a touch of travel, but at least on my build, I’m utilizing that for fitting the bigger tires. So the only place I lost a little travel is on the front, but thanks to the limit straps, it’s using as much as possible.
@@fj_matt Im well aware what the kit is, but running any Independent suspension setup you take away from one you lose somewhere else. That simple engineering. By adding the SYA kit you are effectively eliminating any down travel but will keep your up travel to a set bump. The only true way to add additional travel with IFS/IRS is longer UCA/LCA.. not to mention land rovers technically already have long travel suspension... I mean its cool, but kind of impractical for any real adventuring.
@@PyrateMickey If you run the limit straps then yes, you are loosing down travel. Honestly I found the limit strap design so bad I just run without them and be judicious in how I drive; not hammering when at full droop. it's been fine. And I wheel my LR3 "a bit" harder than the fire roads shown here. I do run a 34" tire and not a 35 as let's be honest, the stock gearing is just not low enough and with no available aftermarket gearsets you're just shooting yourself in the foot. If you are worried about CV angles, I'd suggest going to RCVs though in mine I've stayed with OEM shafts. I have broken aftermarket stuff as it's usually just suitable for street use and not crawling.
@@fj_matton a day that it does it lay down underneath it what's an automotive stethoscope and use the wand you would use to find exhaust or vacuum leaks and just hold it around while someone goes and pushes on your hood or something really hard to make the creaky sounds appear while you are down there
@@fj_matthey dude I think Its possible to regear an land rover lr3 but you would have to go to a shop that builds custom rings and pinions do you think it's possible to do it because I want to own a land rover lr3 but the tires add extra weighr
I have a 2012 LR4 that I just installed 33’s (BFG KO3-32.6”) and I have minor rubbing on the inner right rear tire well, do you know if the LR 3 is that different?
Is your Traction Control system broken? So much wheel spin! Whenever mine starts to slip, it transfers power to the wheel with traction. Yours seemed to sit and spin without even so much as pausing the spinning wheel, much less locking it up to enable power transfer.
It was probably hard to see from the one side, but it was moving power around. The tires just had mud on them and the rocks were pretty slick that day. I also didn’t have it in rock crawl for the whole time which I found makes the traction control a bit more aggressive.
Land Rovers are always the best. And as for stupid people who say if you want to go out back take a land rover and if want to come back take a Toyota. Proper muppet’s that live at home with mum 😂
i drive all over uk and the most broken down vehicles are land rovers. its a landy thing. the are designed for 100% functionality but the parts are just low quality. broken cranks on the tdv6 disco 3. broken crank in 21st century. 😮. i also do some overland drives a d green laning in england, i come across awesome discos but reliability again. broken inputs shafts etc. i have gone mercedes ML 270CDI on 34 inch tyres. beast with an ecu remap. am going stage 3 engine when i get all the parts list fully ticked. am going blacksmoke injectors/pump/ecu route. nice build you got brother. watch out for the bearings on 35s.
You don't use any momentum like the other two drivers it makes LR look uncapable because of the way you drive it .I think your tyres are far too big and you are frightened of busting a CV joint .You needn't worry about that because LR CVs are just as tough as the other two
I had a dog in the back that I had to take some care of while the other two didn’t. I would have loved to ‘send it’ a bit more, but that’s just the way it goes.

Good content! Keep the LR3 content coming!
Funny enough, it’s similar to the 3rd generation of Toyota A-trac. A lot of people don’t understand how to use that either. Haha.
Dude! The way that Discovery just idled over everything! Well bloody done man...
Just have to give a little bit of time for the traction control to figure it out.🤙🏼
Gorgeous build! I love how clean it looks and how capable it is
Thanks man! It definitely turns some heads.
Awesome video Matt! you have just showed the world the LR3 capability!
I wish I had had time for even better clips! Haha. It’s honestly a very impressive platform.
love it dude! im gonna go with 31s though for longevity on wheel bearings, looks so mean with the 35s though man!!
That’s totally a fair call! On offroad height with the 35s it’s so tall. Haha
Nice, for my part I found that good 275/65R18 worked perfect on the Disco 3
I’m sure on many ways a smaller size is better. I just wanted to push the envelope. Haha
@@fj_matthey dude I'm running 2 inch coiloverd do you think I can put spacers and upper control arms for the extra lift
Great build. My experience with LRs is that 33's are pretty much perfect for offroading and saving wheel bearings, axles etc. 35's look cool but a bit counterproductive in my opinion. Good content overall.

Do you think 285 70 /18's would work well on LR4, I think that comes out to a 33.4" ish. Currently have 260 60 18's K02's which is a 30.5"
I'm really concerned own a lr3 I Wanna put 36s on it and I have done custom CV axles a arms plus plus but will the power be the problem or?
@@FreedomtooffroadYou'll need to regear the axles.
@@knuckleheadVOL how about a bit of gear reduction

Yeah, it’s hard to have a vehicle that is good at both. Haha. I daily drive all my lifted 4wds, so I’ve had to keep them nice enough for that.😂
@@fj_matt yeah I hear you! Luckily my daily driving isn't too far and if I feel like I just drive the Audi LOL
Buen video !!✌️🤙
Thanks!
Forgot to mention the lift rods and SYA kit are installed
So you pretty much eliminated any suspension travel so you could fit larger tires...

I just about sprayed coffee all over hearing the suspension squeaking - Mine with 476k KM sounds similar
I couldn’t figure out exactly where it was coming from. It would just come and go depending on the day. Haha

Are those the old Bronco tires? looks like similar tread
Those are going on the green FJ. These are similar, but the bronco ones got a unique tread pattern.
What Skid plate are you using?
It’s an aluminum plate from Asfir 4x4.
Hello! Where is that trail located?
McLean Creek!
Any issues with DSC activating during turns?
Unfortunately, it got quite sensitive. I would turn it off if I knew I was doing aggressive turns.
Even with minimal momentum the Discovery 3 pushed through.
Just have to let the traction control figure it out!
@@fj_matt Not in all situations !
I have a 2012 LR4 that I just installed 33’s (BFG KO3-32.6”) and I have minor rubbing on the inner right rear tire well, do you know if the LR 3 is that different?
I was told that the LR3 has a touch more room in the wheel wells. I’ve had them side by side though, and it seemed pretty similar.

They are😂😂. I’m going to try to make them better going forward, but I’m glad you like them already. Haha
@@fj_matt can't make them better hahaha just keep doing these haha
Thank you, I thought it was in Colorado
When off-roading you should really keep your thumbs outside the steering wheel.
On actual rough or fast stuff I do, but this was pretty easy and slow.🤙🏼
Land Rovers are always the best. And as for stupid people who say if you want to go out back take a land rover and if want to come back take a Toyota. Proper muppet’s that live at home with mum 😂
I’d say it depends on which Land Rover. Haha I’m more of a Ford/Yota guy myself, but the LR3 was a fun project.
