Hi Tim, I've recently come across your channel an gotta say its great, I an my brothers do off roading in all sorts of vehicles too, I read the comments on the lro group from a while back an noticed a lot of negativity, you obviously don't worry about that an rightfully so, a lot of people here in the UK with landrover basically don't even know what there for haha and don't know what using the throttle ect is about, so keep doing what your doing mate 👍
Can you please make a video of the modifications/maintenance you've done on the engine bay to keep it running so well on the trail. Not sure how to take my disco 1 out to have it be this "reliable". Thanks!
Can do, will be doing a waterproofing video soon, and to be honest, other than that, just keep it stock, have a good cooling system and keep up the maintenance!
Depends what you’re doing, but a 2” lift and some decent muddies will get you a long way! Highly recommend talking to Kingpin Design and Fab for help setting up a well performing suspension system, they sell some awesome products
@@Crawlerer79 Since you previously mentioned putting the rear spacers up front, what about puting 1 inch taller coil springs front and rear, and not using the spacers?
Because I’m poor! The front springs will be replaced soon, and in the rear it only has a 6mm spacer which is more for fine adjustment, only other way to get the fine adjustments is to pull the springs and have them reset at a different height every time you make a change, and I don’t have that time or money! Nothing wrong with some small spacers!
14:55 must have been just slightly scary for a second! By the way, do you have any spring/shock suggestions to soften the ride of my D1? I have some 2" EFS springs and shocks but it's pretty harsh over bumps, especially in the back. Cheers.
Haha yea just a smidge haha. And I am running Dobinsons springs and they are awesome. Check out my last 2 videos on Lando, I got into a lot of depth on setting up suspension. Also highly recommend talking to Rick at Kingpin Design and Fab, flick him a message on Facebook, he’s full of knowledge and has got Lando riding like a dream!
The blue Disco (father’s?) just idles along silently as it should. Lando is too noisy and an attraction for Karens to call police for hooning. I’d rather 4wd by stealth and drive ‘under the radar’ than draw unwanted attention to activities.
Sure have, but in this situation rope was the better choice. In situations where there is flowing water (especially at the speed that the current was flowing in this video), a snatch strap will stand up on its edge and becomes incredibly hard to hold, on a long enough strap it can even pull people into the water. I always use a snatch strap where possible however in these conditions the rope has a lot less drag to hold and it far safer. On top of that, I don’t have enough straps to link together to span that crossing comfortably! Hopefully this answers your question!
Truck of the day goes to... Flynn. Vitara was going nuts. Pretty good when your wheeling with 35" buddies and not making it look hard.
Haha yea and he’ll probably show us up on the coast even more! 😂 the vit does very well!
Yea cheers, I think the coast is going to show it fall behind a little but we’ll see !
@@flynncoskerie2723 loved seeing the vitara in person but the vid really does it justice
Time to invest in some lockers ay? Or a boat 🤣 Cool place to drive though. Love the GV, it's nicely built by the looks.
The old v8 tractor gets me every time 🤣

Haha thanks man, yea copped a bit of flack but it is what it is! Appreciate the support mate! 👍
Lando is a monster 💪👌
Lando sounds like he's got a pulley / pump bearing on the way out!
You’d be right! 😂
Hiya mate, where did your Dad get the ladder from on his Disco? Been looking for something similar for mine.
How do you get to the ash 4wd park? Cheers

just got a td5 and recently getting into 4wd was thinking of a 2-3 inch suspension lift what tyres or anything youd recommend

Hey bro, Just wondering, do you have to have special access/pay anything to go in and have a play? If so, where and how do I :) Cheers, Jaydin
Hey mate, it’s open access and free!
@@Crawlerer79 bloody pearla, thanks for that 🙌🏼
And the parks open to all fourbies whenever?
Sure is, check out the fb page for more details!
mean mate. truck sounds and drives hard. a video tallying up what you have spent on it, including what you paid for it would be good. cheers 👍
Cheers mate! Haha would be interesting ay but I think I’d rather not know that number 😂

@@Crawlerer79 Fair enough 😉
Hey mate just wondering what exhaust setup your running,thanks
Straight through system, all 2.5” with one resonator just before the axle. And a bunch of dents in it 😂
@@Crawlerer79 can’t wait to make mine sound like this 😩
Do ya reckon a go-pro would survive underneath? Show us that awesome suspension in action.
Would be very cool! I have considered it, just need to get one!

@@Crawlerer79 Cheers, will do! 👍
Is it worth buying a disco and what would you recommend discovery 1 or 2
Disco 1 is more simple, Disco 2 is more comfy and better design IMO
👍🏻
bit of water injection probably gave it 20 more HP haha
Bit of water meth ya reckon 😂... the sand in the water was just to really make sure the rings were bedded in haha
@@Crawlerer79 Ha- just quick hone job
Mate, get back to the coast brother! 😁
It’s happening soon!
Bloody surf letting us surf drivers down

Sounds fucking sick!
Haven’t you Kiwi’s herd of snatch straps. What’s this rope business for recovery

@@Crawlerer79 I understand where your coming from but still not safe. Let’s just hope you don’t learn the hard way one day. Keep on having fun.
