Land Rover Discovery 4x4 Off Road

[2222dom]

cool vid, how do you add music?

[thereape420]

great video i see you have changed the springs does that affect the ride comfort in a bad ...way ...like on the road...my friends dad increased the ride height on his jeep and we would feel every little bump on the road in our buttholes..have you got some absorbers wit it or something...how much does doing this cost

[greykes]

really sweet video. cool angles and set up.

[cuda540ify]

did you have to rebuild it after 50 k and has it lost 80 percent of its value in a few years?ive seen some junk ones,even a car towing one on a trailer

[4durt]

@cuda540ify, no I didn't and don't know of any owners in the LR club that had to after 50k. I have 120k+ on it. They do have a bunch of annoying things that need fixing so they are a maintenance hog that's for sure.

[newrmdmike]

@4durt i rebuilt mine at 63000 miles. but i still love it, and love spanking jeeps on the trail.

[LostAI117]

I really like your camera and rotating mount. Just one question though... Is there any lift on your rover?

[4durt]

New springs give it a total of about 3"

[richoverip]

@LostAI117 It's a Land Rover, not a Rover. Rover is a totally different car brand.

[LostAI117]

@richoverip I'm in America where they don't sell Rovers. Since there is nothing for them to be confused with we just call them Rovers.

my parents have an 02 discovery, i wish we gone off roading with it, they use it as an everyday car, it is still beast

[tZaNaLaX]

the video SUCKS

[xengsimon]

Fantastic!

How about some tech on the camera setup/mount?

Si

[putneyboer]

after 1st vid I went WHY? now I see. quite useful.

[darksativa]

great video, well done.

[wescobts]

Great video, nice truck

[bulld0zerxxx]

nah ez jó! :)

[PaulBvideo]

thisvideois a work of art

[gford816]

Yeah right. That's why the American Special Forces bought a load of Land Rovers for work in Iraq and Afghanistan

[TofferB]

Nahh, its prob because there less likely to get attacked in a British looking land rover.

Hmm Humvie V a land rover - I know what i'll have!

- Work out old rover anyday!

[A59494]

the land rover is one of the best off-roaders out there but the Hummer H1 is the best

[TriggerHappyJim2]

Wikipedia quote:

"The Land Rover Defender is capable of tackling a gradient, an approach angle, a departure angle, and a ramp break-over greatly superior not just to urban 4x4s but to military vehicles such as the HMMWV."

And that's the military Humvee.

[SgtSwamper]

Was this set-up something that you put together yourself or some kind of added feature from the factory? Do you have a monitor inside the vehicle so that it could benefit you on the trail?

[4durt]

Put together from various parts. Using it on trail was exacally what we were doing. See link in video info.

[daltonagre]

Land-rover is a very good off-road car.Unluckly, I don't have money to buy a land-rover.

[Mcflai]

A very nice video, amigo! It's very funny to see what happens down there. One day I put my cam bolted to a member of my Land Rover Defender 110 chassis to check how works the rear suspension. It was also a very nice one!

[weldmishref]

Great video and song...

[clivedh]

Great Video, great fiddle playing. Who is it? As a Land Rover 110 csw owner and a fiddle player myself over here in England, found it fascinating

[4durt]

It's from "Diary of a Fiddler" by Darol Anger.

[supermanjamil]

Nice vid whats the song?

[4durt]

Melt the Teakettle

[Brad1711]

Thought I was going to see some off-roading. Only saw like five rocks there.

[4durt]

That was mostly the Mengel Pass trail as it is today go drive it and count the rocks. Yes, it isn't all that tough of a trail, but then again this was about the camera. BTW, 2 Jeep Wranglers needed to be winched up that were blocking the way so it has it's moments. Count again, the wide angle camera is deceiving.

[greenlandrover]

Thanks, its just awesome!

[greenlandrover]

How do you solve the problem of the camera wire getting tangled?

[4durt]

The proper way would be to put a stop to keep it from going more than 360°, however I just make sure to not keep going too much one way. If I do the camera just stops moving when the cables bind, then I know I went too far!

[greenlandrover]

Any chance I can have some info on the parts used?

[4durt]

There is a link in the description that'll give you some info.

[ewelmcc]

cheers was a great ride

[philjane]

Excellent filming, what camera system is used? And is it something you devised yourself or is it on the market?

[cooltoys]

good idea thanks.

[Ataraxia27]

Brilliant Idea... Is the camera actually rotating, or is it a mirror that rotates? Just thinking that maybe the camera can be stationary out of the way and a mirror used to have it look around and in the event of damage no worries, mirrors are cheap... I Love this idea!

[4durt]

The mirror idea came up and does make sense, just haven't had time to implement. The camera will still have to rotate with the mirror. I have a design that should work great with a break away mirror section.

[jtab2110]

I dont supose you would be able to supply this as a kit or something, maybe tell us where you have got all the bits from..?

[4durt]

No kit, but check the link in the description. I'll try to put more details at some point, just not enough time right now.

[offinit]

Is that the Mars Rover?

[4durt]

Sure looks like Mars in places. But it is certainly a Rover!

[whodoyouthinkur]

Now that is a new angle off road!

[w9jim]

Cool bones!
