it obviously got you out, and not being an off road driver (yet- the old 90 still has her guts hanging out) I wouldn't know any different, but wouldn't blipping the throttle keep breaking any treaction you might have? just a thought....
@MisterAndre89 no. series vehicles, when put into 4wd ( they are usually rear wheel drive) behave like a 90 or 110 with the centre diff lock engaged, ie the front drive is permanently connected to the rear drive.
@BillysAutomotive im 16 and have a 1970 series 2a i got last year to fix up for my first car. i love it , might not be the most comfortable ride but it gets attention, i would only recommend getting one if you plan on doing a LOT of work yourself. there not complected at all like i never had any electrical experience but im re-wiring the whole thing now and its going pretty smooth so far.. if you have any questions you can message me
@JohnHeyen3 Yeah I was looking into Old landrovers as a first car for a long time. It was also to fix up until I could drive ( im only 15). I ended up making a surpirse purchase of an Old Jag a couple of months ago.
should've kept some momentum at the cross-axle part. But still, really deep pits, so too much momentum = flipped landie. Nice to see someone on youtube who knows what he's doing!
i agree iit looks like a series 3 and its on a k plate (1 AUG 1971 - 31 JUL 1972). so if it is a series 2 then its probabley one of the of the last ones as series 2As were finished by september 71 with the introduction of series 3s
Defo a IIa. Check out the door hinges. One of the last due to the year of reg. I've got a 1966 SWB one and they're lovely little motors. Capable, basic, and a convertible (if you've got 20 minutes to spare unbolting the roof!) Great vid.
Hey nice Landy, same year as mine, I've almost got mine stuck in that way before because of the diff, if only they had diff lock!
IIa's are by far the most trust worthy of them all! I recently snapped a half shaft playing in the snow and it still got me home with just front wheel drive!
Hmm, concours with 'IIa' after 1967 or so (headlamps in wings), 1:19-1:22 appears instrument panel in centre (can look through air vents), same at 2:05 when driver steps out: centre instrument panel is Series II (so sad they changed this centre panel; mil lightweight also has this).

@smeserver It's a late model Series 2a. I have one, a light grey 1970 LWB pickup model. But it does have the later Series 3 grille on the front, with it's lights on the fenders. But the one the video is defintely a Series 2a. Series 3 started production in 1971.
Damn i wish i could find one of these here in the us. they are QUITE rare, damn it took ALOT to get that thuing stuck. and its driver KNEW how to drive it too
Well give him some credit.. Look at the tyres they are bog standard RT's.. And Not many other 4x4s could have done that anyway.. I reckon if he fitted some aggressive 7.50s He would be in business with the getting stuck in mud situation..
As to cross axle-ing.. theres not really much he can do about that.. But he did well!
