Land Rover 300Tdi Discovery 4x4 Off Road!

[DENMONKEY]

stepping over the winch wire during a winch ?? what was he thinking ?

I know there wasn't much tension on the winch but still.

cool video though

[Karl2353]

Cool video! Like the axle twisting, is the suspension modified?

[fishsponge]

@Karl2353 yeah, it's had a 2 inch lift and the anti-roll bars removed!

[LawlietDestiny]

Nice video man, I enjoyed it.

[fishsponge]

@LawlietDestiny thanks :-)

[crampets2011]

Thank God you got the charcoal interior, and not the baby spew beige ;)

[fishsponge]

@crampets2011 indeed :-)

[MrKeepthecool]

Cool video



[fishsponge]

@MrKeepthecool thanks :-)

[Chauperr]

Nice Vid. Another thanks for the lack of soundtrack. I have a Discovery II now but I miss my original Disco with the manual shifter. This video brings back great memories thank u

[fishsponge]

@Chauperr do you like the rear airbag suspension on the Disco II??

[Chauperr]

@fishsponge To be honest I really havent worked it out yet. It is a great riding truck. Im using it for my commuter right now. When I pick up a new car Im going to start using it solely as an off roader/beach machine. It is definitely a much smoother ride than the 96

[Chauperr]

@fishsponge I just got the truck and havent done any rough off roading yet. It certainly rides nice. Im picking up a new car in March so Ill give the disco a little workout then.

[kwack23]

thanks for not adding shite music or music of any sort and ruining the video

[yomocy]

got to love the wintch.

[gibbo1112]

Nice, though it kinda demonstrates why later discos have TC and diff lock, subsequently i like the 2 the most, also, i like the lack of music!

[fishsponge]

@gibbo1112 well, my disco has center diff lock, but certainly no traction control! Some people like TC, other's don't, but you are right - this video shows several reasons why it's excellent! Cross-axle'ing is a thing of the past with TC!

You say you "like the 2 the most"... do you mean you like the Discovery II the most?

And i'm glad you like the lack of music - aside from the potential copyright issues, it takes half the video away I reckon unless you have music *and* the original audio! :-)

[gibbo1112]

@fishsponge yea i like the diso 2 the most, and both music and originl would also be good

[PCModKiiD]

Awesome! I'm 16 and i go off roading with my cousin and i bought a Discover 300 tdi off my dad and i am looking to convert it into a entry level off roader, what upgrade do you think i should get first? Like get a winch bumper and steering guard?

Thanks :)

[fishsponge]

@PCModKiiD i'm paranoid generally, so i'd suggest a steering guard and diff guards first. Once your landy can't be broken, you can start bolting accessories to it!

Next on the list for me would be larger and/or grippier tyres (if you don't already have them). After that, it's whatever you want really - whatever you find you start needing - suspension lift, winch, spotlights, etc... depends on the sort of off roading you're doing I guess!

[PCModKiiD]

@fishsponge Yeah that is what i was thinking of getting first :) How much do you recon it will cost to get a 2" lift?

[fishsponge]

@PCModKiiD no idea to be honest... there are lots of different ways of doing it - cheap ones and expensive ones! I bought mine in the state it is in, so i've not modified it much further at all.

my best resource for landy knowledge is the landyzone forum... be prepared for a bit of a laugh on there too!!

[focijohn]

nice video guys, nice not to have a BS soundtrack over the top of it.

[fishsponge]

@focijohn i'm glad you like the lack of soundtrack! I personally don't like them either... and anyway it's tough to find something that suits the video and ends at the right time without cutting off, and then there's the potential copyright issues, and you only get half the experience because all the proper sound is missing! :-)

[TEQILAism]

very nice disco



[fishsponge]

@TEQILAism thanks! :-)

[Fireball69]

Awesome !! I own a disco2,99...what size tires do you run? and does this disco have CDL?

[fishsponge]

@Fireball69 I run 245/75R16 tyres. Currently "Hankook Dynamic MT RT01". Going to need some new ones soon though, they don't make the RT01 any more and the RT03 is a bit different, so not made my mind up yet!

As for CDL... never heard of it... what is it?!?

[fishsponge]

@Fireball69 right... i just looked up "CDL"... it appears to stand for "Centre Diff Lock"! That is exactly what this vehicle has. See my video entitled "How Diff Lock Works and When to Use It" for an explanation in relation to my vehicle :-)

[KNJensen]

wow, you really got that stuck well @2:00 :P

[fishsponge]

@KNJensen that was my first time off roading ever! lol, I saw what looked like a puddle and just drove straight in. Learned my lesson that time!

[14th20thKRHkickass]

I want that purple Landy!

[xStarScreamx803]

Awesome offroading!

the discovery looks amazing!

the defender looks great.

im really wanting either a discovery or a jeep 4x4
