Installing a ladder on the Land Rover Discovery 3 / LR3

- The ladder has proven to be one of the best accessories I've fitted to the D3 so far - and there's been a few! The main reason is how many uses it has. Access to the roof is obviously easier but it's also easier to open and close the tailgate. It's the perfect anchor point for my hammock. I can hang my bin bag on it. And it has a special mount for a rear lamp! The instructions are terrible so if you're thinking of fitting one to your own Land Rover LR3 or LR4 this 'HOW TO' fitting guide is a must. While we're at it, I also replace the upper tailgate release switch which was definately on it's way out. Hopefully that's saved me some hassle in the future.

Bike mount looks sweet
Looking at ways to do something similar in my 110, I can get my mtb in the back without taking wheels off but two bikes for a long drive would be better with something like this
Mine was from eBay, mounts on the right hand side, straight forward fixings, didn’t take half a day to install. And was 5th of the price.
Sounds like a good buy. Although this is £240 and only took about an hour to fit, even with the seized bolts.
Loving the vids bud and great content! One question though, why no paint or rust protection after grinding them nut lugs off?
I'm doing some rust work on my Discovery this or next weekend - weather depending and mines a few years newer than yours so it just gave me palpitations a little when watching that 😂🤣
I didn't actually cut into the door, just released those seized bolts. But I did put some dinatrol on the holes I drilled out for the new rivnuts.
@@LRLiveUK Awesome and thanks for the reply man! 👍🏽
It's a nice accessory that I've had on all my Discoveries. But why not spend a bit more time and apply some paint where you've enlarge the holes or cut the studs off?
I need to go back in and refit the rivnut inserts so will tidy it all up then.
I get the ladder is a useful accessory but I'm concerned about the strain being placed on the tailgate hinges especially if you are a little bit 'portly'.
Don't say that. I'm quite portly! I will give it a thorough test.
It’s disappointing after a few years of making these, terrafirma haven’t had a chat with whoever nails them together that the top right bracket is miles out and everyone cuts the Tf badge off as it catches your trainers! 🤦🏻♂️
500 quid is disgusting. It seems like every company is just out for a cash grab in this country.
It’s not called ripoff Britain for nothing.
This is only £240, not £500. So I think that's pretty good.
