Love the aftermarket modifications. We swapped out the air suspension for coils and still running strong with 210k miles (337k km) and counting. Looking forward to the next 100k miles
got a 06 RRSport Supercharged that's been in rivers, sand and mud..... and 120 000 miles.... still smooth running and comfortable as long as you keep up with maintenance
If you want a vehicle to just drive on the farm and offroad, then buy a LandCruiser. If you want an onroad vehicle with some serious offroad, then Range Rover is by far the better option, the road driving comfort is out of this world. LandCruiser feels like a pickup truck, because it basically is.
I bought my first land rover a year ago i always liked land rovers brand i. Bought a 2007 land rover lr3 hse with 144k on odometer for 1100.00 on copart clean title with mechanical issues it wouldn't run or start i bought a new battery, put gas in it sprayed starting fluid she fired up runs good but previous owner stop repairing the issues i had to replace water pump , radiator, all coolant hoses all belts a couple of pulleys, , lower steering shaft, and rebuild transmission, but for up grades replaced all control arms and air suspension new air compressor, added a terra firma rear swing out tire carrier a spare 10 gallon titan gas can that mounts to spare tire , afront runner roof rack , a snorkle , i have a arb bull bumper for front bumper but i like oem look so i may install a winch plate , land rovers can be a pain in the ass limp mode for anyone to own a rover best to have some mechanical skills or friends that do i was also looking at a discovery 2 but i might buy a l322 or ll405 i like the look of the l322 the box look the l405 is more modern looks too nice for offroad just know to any new buyers of any land rovers don't make these vehicles your only vehicle this is where you end up with a love / hate relationship with a rover any rover can be fixed it you have the money 💰 🤑 💸 older high end / performance vehicles still cost to repair it like a new vehicles any way i love my rover
Can’t agree about needing a Toyota to return from trips, been a Land Rover owner for more that a half million miles on 3 vehicles, Defender 90, LR4 and Range Rover Sport, and never had to return without my Land Rover in perfect working order. Have also owned Toyotas, and are also great vehicles but poorly equipped and very unexciting.
They depreciate at that rate for the same reasons Toyotas don't. Market perception. Land Rovers are perceived to be overly complicated, difficult and expensive to repair, while Toyota is perceived to be simple, easy and cheap. I guarantee that if you took a similar spec Toyota from the same period, did the same mileage under the same conditions that it would only be marginally cheaper. Any mechanic is willing to work on a Toyota because it is not perceived as a luxury brand, whilst most independent mechanics won't touch a Land Rover for fear of messing it up. This is why you have Land Rover only independent mechanics, and often why you find Land Rovers in such poor states of repair 10 years down the line. Dealers charge too much, and 95% of independents won't touch it, so it doesn't get repaired. There is not a single Toyota that truly compares to a Land Rover after 2003. If you compare apples to apples, you will see that Toyota is actually very expensive for what you receive. They have never been on the cutting edge, willing to push the boundaries. They just play it safe, so ultimately, you end up paying a lot of money for old technology, whilst companies like Land Rover are the pioneers of the industry and develop tech that you will find in Toyota 20 years later.
@@any0n378this is exactly why the 2006-2009 l322 is such a gem. A flawed public perception has kept their prices down but I assure you that won’t last for long.
It's not that complicated once you know what you are doing, and as for the cost of fixing it, it's still an expensive vehicle. At the end of the day, we are not talking about fixing a ford fiesta
Excellent advice thank you
Anytime! Thank you for watching
Nice!!! Miss my 06 tonga green 322. Hope I can pick up a clean 08 soon
Awesome!! I wish you all the best in finding a clean 08!
@@OverlandAlbertapicking up another l322 today finally! Had to make my way back to this video. Do you happen to know what head unit he has installed?
You're a master man!
TYVM!
just bought a 2009 L322 single owner 149k for 6000$ last month. Stoked to won it. Been daily driving a 1995 Range Rover Classic for the last 10 years.
I love my 2006 L322, good on him for making all that gear for it.
Yes, Kevin is pretty inventive
Very nice car, congratulations
They did make them very luxurious.
What brand of skid plates are those and where did you source them from? Great build, especially the bumpers and winch!!

That's awesome! I wish you a great 100k future miles!!!
What coils did u get?
이런 작업들을 직접할 수 있다는 것이 부럽습니다. 저도 올드카로 오래오래 소장하고 즐기고 싶습니다. 많은 정보를 알려주셔서 감사합니다.
!
did a great job on all the mods that you had to create well done.
Agreed.....I love seeing unique DIY stuff like that
Great video. What do you think of the android radio head unit? Been thinking about adding one to mine, it's absolutely gorgeous
I’m going to pull the trigger. Do you happen to know what model the he has installed is?
Those air shocks are a very cool feature! 👍
Yes....they are cool for sure
Until they stop working…on the trail. I’ve had Rovers for 20+ years and air suspension is something I’d have second thoughts on, especially a LR.
@@crazygooseventures With proper maintenance and use they’ll serve you well.
@@crazygooseventures Range Rover had air suspension in 1992.

Agreed! Preventive Maintenance is key.

That is quite a story! Yes it is a love/hate relationship.....
That is a pretty good deal considering it only has 130,000km on it. The L322 is one of the best!
Agreed
Can you offer more details about installing radio?
Would you care to share more info on your roof rack? How can I get one built!
I always love the land rovers but the issues are too many for confort.
Ya, they do have their draw backs.
You've clearly never owned one
My Range Rover always gets me home *idk*
Awesome!
Love build not bought
Agreed!

There’s a reason why that $145k truck is now worth only $6k. They’re massively complicated and costly to fix.
Yes, a very valid point.
It's not expensive to fix if you are prepared to get your hands a bit dirty

Would really like to see more videos on this! Or photos! Do you have instagram? Building a tdv8 2008 overlander
lol - "take a Toyota". I would be happy with either the Land Rover OR a Toyota OR a Jeep. :)
Working on it!!
