Land rovers are only under rated in the states. They have been used as overlandsrs across the world for years. Extremely capable specially the older ones discovery 1 and 2 and defenders. Watch some camel trophy videos totally epic.

Dirt Lifestyle is one of the best fabrication/offroad related channels on all of KZfaq. Pure...no brand fanboying getting shoved down your throat. Production value of his content is top tier. One of the few content creators that I'm a Patreon of.

Enjoyed the interview Brad. My son-in-law & I each bought a 2003 Discovery about 2 1/2 years ago, both had about 140,000 miles & we paid about $4,000 for each. I put a 2" Old Man Emu lift on mine, a RTT & plan on buying some BFG KM3's in the near future. We love them & have taken them on numerous trails throughout central & northern Arizona. They do need to be closely maintained, but haven't let us down so far. I met you last year at Overland West, really enjoy your channel. I also follow Nate, he is a very talented guy.

No one on KZfaq does better walk around videos than you my friend! I look forward to the next one! 🤘

I have owned two of them. Completely underrated the driving experience is like no other and all those people that bring up reliability have never actually owned one. Any vehicle of that age and mileage is going to have its fair share of maintenance issues. 10/10 would recommend at least owning one.

I was following the vehicle build on his channel. Then, I'm surprised and totally thrilled to see the build review on this channel. It's like double happiness for me. Thank you guys for the great content.

I just love seeing how much Nate is enjoying Over landing. I have been watching him grow in his videography and sound quality and content, since his collaboration with Matt and the other guys with Bleepin Jeep. He has gone far in a short amount of time. I’ve been watching you both about the same length of time and love the journey that you both have made. Thank you for the great videos. I can not wait for the next ones.

Mine is finicky and quirky, but I was the only one to not get stuck last outing and have never gotten mine stuck. Mine is a 2001 with the locking center diff from the factory that they disable, but it's still there for a limp home mode. I added the linkage, then modified with front and rear lockers and 4.43 gears from GBRUtah and the upgraded multi-u-joint drive shafts. It's the 4.0 and retrofitted to ABR head studs after the first headgasket failure. For the Rover V8s your friend needs to try a ZDDP additive in the oil for that lifter ticking noise. These are old Buick 1960s engines essentially, with advanced Bosch ECUs trying to make them act modern. They are direct cam on tappets and are loud with higher wear. I run some MMO in mine too. I kept my radius and control arms too, but used Old Man Emu coils and shocks. The stock traction control is hands down the best I've ever seen as he noted, but I really wanted lockers. For the most part I ironed out any issues almost a decade ago when I got it for about $4K. I know every inch of it at this point and it's still my favorite of my fleet. That being said I have a dead driver side window motor right now and a bad driver side door lock, so it only unlocks with the manual key. I do love her though...

Two of my favorite people doing a rig walk around . Nates fab skills are off the chart and I'm looking forward to more of his Land Rover build . I really enjoy his channel as well as your channel Brad . I'm hoping someday I can meet you both . Until next time take care and be safe .

I have owned 3 of these.. They will definitely surprise you, in more ways than one.

I've had three Disco's from '95-03...favorite LR after the RR Classic! Great trucks!!

Of course the Discovery II is a great vehicle. I've had my 2003 since it was nearly new. I've "buried" it more than once to the frame and it walked its way out. I love it! One of the last Discoveries you can actually put a serious lift kit on.

Great stuff guys, cool Disco 2a. Diff ratio is 3.54 with 3.34 tcase. Cheers from Aussie land ✌

I've been watching Nate since he went on his own on KZfaq. Video's are awesome and he is extremely creative! Glad you got down here to California to enjoy the best thing about this state and one of the only things, haha !!!

Had a 1995 Defender 90 I sold after spending years building it! Had ARB lockers Front and Rear..re-geared 4.88s and pegged diffs by Ashcroft...Ashcroft underdrive crawl box..35” nitto mud grapplers ...beadlocks.. many many more upgrades..had axles etc.had a blast crawling it with a loyal Jeep club.... been waiting on the Jeep Gladiator diesel.... never went west. Always wanted to..

Always love the collaboration between two of my favorite tubers and two of the best at it! Thanks for the great content both of you!

This guy is super crafty. I have gullwing windows on both sides of my 80 series Land Cruiser and they make such a huge difference packing gear in and out.

You two are among my favorites. Looking forward to Nates tech video, as always. You're my welding inspiration! Rock on dudes!

I wish I could drive my Landrover through such a Landscape. We got no legal dirt roads left in Germany and our pavement looks like the driveway of a rich guy in Beverly Hills. Great build and entertaining video too.

Two of the best KZfaqrs out there. Enjoy both of your channels.

Thank you Nate and Brad! You guys are great working together. And I'm certain you have had an amazing experience on this trip. Looking forward to seeing the video on @dirtlifestyle

Walking down the street with my German Shepperds I discover a You Tube Star on my block , way to go Nate.

My favourite channel! Thanks for everything. Tips, recipes etc. Got a Wrangler -07 myself. Shout out from Sweden!

Never thought they were underrated. They are the best off road ever.

Awesome editing and great video. Love the collaboration!

The dynamic duo!! (of overlanding and off roading anyway) Two of this best channels for this kind of stuff IMHO.

Defenders and Discovery 1s & 2s are primarily work vehicles. People hate on them because of a misconception about reliability, but work vehicles work hard. I've broken down just as often in Toyotas and Jeeps.

The two channels I’ve found myself watching the mostly lately, keep up the good work fellas.

Both you guys have amazing channels. Thank you for the insight and overall great content. Nothing but love 😎💪👊

Disco 2 owner here, these things are luxury tanks! 💪

Awesome to see you guys wheel together. Nate’s channel is great. Can’t wait to see his video on this trip.

I follow both of your pages. I've been waiting for this video. I too rock a D2 and I'm dead set on utilizing my cargo area better. I'm organized now with Plano boxes, but hate having to move everything in and out. Also considering a rtt, but that's a huge consideration. Glad to see the Rover didn't disappoint! Not a lot of confidence left in these old battle tanks! Thank u both for the awesome content. @RoveAgain

This is why I bought one brand new in ‘02 and have kept it ever since. His 4.6 at 200k miles has had to have the head gaskets changed at least once. Its an old Buick motor. At $5k, that’s a great deal.

I owned three Land Rovers including a 2001 Discovery II that I bought new. It had numerous issues but I did enjoy the vehicle. I would buy another one if I could find one that had been well sorted. Future owners just need to be aware that these old rigs are great but will require maintenance and considerable care. Great video and I missed my 2001 even though I parted with it in 2011. Thanks for sharing.

So dope seeing Nate on your channel!!! This video made my day. Keep doing collaborations like this.

Brad I totally agree with you about Nates fab vids, he is my favorite fabricator to watch. He style is bang on for everything! Great vid from you as well, love the collab 👍🏼

Great to see my two favorite you tubers on the same episode. As the owner of two Discos I loved seeing the walk around. Discos are very underrated.

Two of my favorite channels coming together. Awesome

THANK YOU sooo much !! for covering and including the Disco in your video series. It is about time JEEP Owners and Land Rover Owners bury the hatchet and begin wheelin together

Love the collaboration. You guys both inspire thousands to be bold and creative. Keep it going!

Hey brad love the channel! You have inspired me to want to experience the overlanding side of adventuring. In the future I hope to by a Jeep LJ as I currently own a Jeep TJ but wish for the extra space. Great channel man keep up the great work!

Yeah Brad, those Disco are pretty cool. My cousin had one until he started having electrical problems, he now has a Rubicon. They loved that thing while they had it. Another great walk around Brad. Thanks

Nice, it was to see Nate on this channel... He said he was going out for a shake down cruise on the last video, didn’t know he was venturing all the way down to hook up with Brad. Two of my favorites!

Proud ex owner of a D2 myself, though TD5 as opposed to a V8. Extremely comforttable family run about, and great off road. Sadly, we had a bad rollover and she was totalled. Now we own a D4, way more plush, and also very capable off road, though no where as easy to mod as a D2. Great video!

GREAT Walk-around! What an impressive rig!

Nate is a good dude, always enjoy his videos and good to see you two wheeling together!

I can totally appreciate the Land Rover BUT I ❤️🥰 my Jeep

2 best channels teaming up. 👏🏼 💪

Been watching Nate work on the LR for a while. Looking forward to more! Glad to see you two collaborating.

Thanks for Representing the discovery 2 man, they really are underrated

Very cool discovery build! Definitely going to be checking out some of those videos on your build!

Always have loved Land rovers . Great off road rigs , not as well know here in the states but well known in the world . Thanks for sharing your awesome videos with us your over landing friends & family . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A.

I love my 03 discovery 2. Its a beast. LOTS of repairs haha, but a beast non the less. The nice thing is that you can typically get them for cheap, you might have a handful of needed repairs right off the bat, but if you are mechanically inclined you can do most repairs yourself. And then you have a great off road rig you typically pay less than $9k for.

Nate! Luv watching Nate "create" in his shop. He builds like I do. Directly from thoughts to metal. Doesn't always go as planned, but that is the fun in changing it until it does. Keep up the great work Nate! p.s. Bring Lite Brite next time with your group!

How have they ever been underrated? One glimpse of the Camel Trophy is enough to understand how great they are.

Two of my fav off-roaders in the same video! Loved it, can’t wait to see the Disco on 37s!

I love Nate's channel. Great walk around of his rover.

Love your videos - all of them. My wife and I are looking to expand our off-road Jeep experiences as we move forward. I do worry about safety especially traveling with a wife. Any concerning experiences on your many excursions and how did you manage to escape the concern? We backpack and kayak camp regularly. However, the Jeep can reach far more remote areas (its greatest allure) making safety a greater issue. Presently, a dog (best early warning signal available!) and bear spray have served us fine. Any added considerations we should adopt? Thanks!

When you just have to say "It's a Land Rover part" no fancy aftermarket part ... love it. I daily a '97 D1, my daughters dubbed her "the YETI" such a great stock monster!

Nate does the best DIY fabrication videos.

So enjoyed this crossover!!! Can’t wait to see what @dirtlifestyle does on his version

sounds like a great trip. Love the Rover. Happy Trails, Safe travels

Love it, I'm going monday to pick up a Land Rover Discovery... Love the Video to help me make the decision...

Cant wait to see your review of the bronco!!!! A walk around and overland adventure! I hope you do one!

Very very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Another totally cool walk around. Nate, sure glad you started your own channel.

i love my disco and never plan on getting rid of it, i wanna set it up like this too!

Crackin D2 cobber. Well presented and driven. Cheers for sharing.

How can it be underrated when world wide its regarded as the best off road vehicle of all time

I’ve always liked the Discos. I’m really a fan of anything designed to actually go off-road sooo 🤷🏼‍♂️😂. Great video as usual Brad!

Great vid, epic build! 🤤

I have a 99 rover that I have put in a 4.6 with a crower performance cam and what makes it good is not just the suspension is both diffs are on the right side.

I absolutely love you guys. God bless you both. Keep up the good work.

👌👌👌 awesome! Love the you and Nate are doing some much collaboration

100" Wheelbase, body on frame, solid axles and coil springs all round!

Land Rover Discovery vehicles are not underrated but are well respected here in Europe.

Only underrated in the USA 🇺🇸

Been sub'd to Nate for a long time. Quality stuff right there folks!

ive got two discovery 2's one manual (2000) and one automatic (2003), both with the TD5 engine, apart from chassis rotting on the back and hub bearings needing replacing, the only big thing to happen has been the crankshaft pully wheel bolt came loose, so lost steering, brakes and electrics all in one go. Otherwise I love em, go anywhere and are great work and playtime vehicles.

This is awesome! Nate is the shiznit! Great video as always, Brad!

The weight limit is a little on the low side but the body roll gets pretty severe when it is overloaded. One of the places we go fishing is at the end of a long drive on secondary roads and then a few hours on a washed out forestry road. We have a canoe, several jerry cans and a few other items on the roof. About 225 lbs and you can really feel the effect on the winding roads and offroad the truck readily rocks side to side as it reacts to the rough road! Even with great shocks a swerve at full highway speed would probably put the truck on its side. Heavy stuff inside and light stuff on the roof rack is the best way to go, or get an off road trailor milspec Sankey.

It's actually pretty sweet!! Great vid man!

You two complement each other beautifully

I always enjoy your videos. 👍🏼

I dont think there is anything underrated about the land rover?? One of the best platforms of all time in most countries

Discos are awesome. I have a TD5 ( I'm in Oz ) and it's great. One mod I would recommend is a separate oil cooler or the trans. They really don't have enough oil in 'em, and can overheat. A big cooler fixes that. You can also put 'wings' on the sump to give it more oil. The axles are LR and they are tough. Pity that here a 4" lift and 37s are illegal.

that rear tailgate kitchen is freaking brilliant.

Man all the rigs they have on the channel are super nice and capable!

i have had 3 landcruiser 70 series, 1 landcruiser 200, nissan patrols and a discovery4. out of all the cars my favourite was the discovery 4, it was so capable it was able to keep up with my buddies highly modded nissan patrol in technical terrain. the disco was amazing all it was was A/T tyres and a snorkel and nothing was able to stop it

Land Rover power!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Good interview, thanks.

great video - we just bought a 2001 Land Rover Discovery 2. Could not resist. Not an off road question but in this video I see some cup holders that are quite interesting. Creature comforts ya know . Where might I find those cup holders.

As an owner of one of these for the past 10 years I highly recommend you buy one with a blown engine for 2 reasons: Apart from the cheap price and bullet proof trans. 1) you won't go through the disappointment of finding out that your sleeves are slipping (tick, tick, tick,) or you need (another) head gasket.... 2) GM LS motor swaps are becoming somewhat mainstream. *Your "ticky lifter" is probably your cylinder sleeves - I fought people telling this for years but when I had my last head gasket I had the oil pump and all the lifter replaced and I still get the same intermittent tick, tick, tick, tick, tick,tick, tick, tick..... - the carrier in the rear end is inherently weak and prone to go. All this to say - I love my 2004 as it has the center locking diff - all 2004 came with 'em from the factory with the linkage. Other years have them but don't come with the linkage.

Thanks for sharing as always.

I love the looks of the Discovery. He's got a nice rig!

I have owned a 2004 Disco2 for a year now. I'll start with the CONS first, 12 mpg, no stranger to a repair shop, cheap electronics, horribly underpowered, lots of cheap plastic, very top heavy. now for the PROS. Solid axles, center locking differential (for some, mine has one) easy to upgrade and modify, massive suspension flex, lots of torque, will pull itself out of almost any situaton. comfortable ride. If your looking for a cheap, and incredibly capable offroad vehicle, go ahead and buy one. But know, she drinks fuel, and you'll be fixing things here and there. I recommend siloconing the electronics to waterproof them

Beautiful vehicle. Sitting in my driveway looking good right now.

Absolutely I own a disco just like that set up the same and I drive down here in Arizona on all kinds of crazy Jeep trails. I got the truck for $5,000 I've done a minimal work to it just catching up on lots of service and fluid changes throughout the entire drivetrain a couple little emissions sensors but overall yeah just having traction control and Center diff lock AKA 4x4 I can go anywhere but I would like to get an Ashcroft 6 mm pin Locker on the rear. People don't realize how balanced they are also full-time 4x4 if you look underneath the front and rear third member style differential are the same front and rear giving it a really balanced weight. It's like a huge ATV with a body put on. Even the 2-in lift can give you crazy articulation with 32-in tires. Yeah they don't have much power but they have okay torque and they are geared low. The auto can be locked into low range gears so you cruise around in second or third low and it does really well. A lot of people underestimate Land Rover just because they have a reputation to not be reliable when an owner just treats them like a basic SUV and drives the crap out of them on the street with minimal maintenance and then they start to fall apart. Also the newer ones having huge Wheels and Low Pro Tires was a dumb move but the new ones are extremely capable literally every single one you see can do crazy stuff even with those Low Pro Tires it's pretty funny to watch $100,000 Range Rovers do stuff. I wish they would stick with solid axles and smaller Wheels but I guess they went the luxury route for a reason with the Range Rover being the first luxury SUV in 1970 and in the '80s having all kinds of features even traction control in 1993. People underestimate the traction control and misunderstand it thinking it lets off the throttle or something stupid not realizing it's the same as the Toyota a track system except made in 1993 and works the exact same. There's no button to shut it off it's just there Land Rover doesn't brag and call it something the way Jeep or Toyota does.

Dang Nate! The topo mural didn't make the video???? Awesome touch!

WHOA!!! a non-jeep walkaround
