I like the idea that in 35 years there will be enthusiasts trying to get Mastiffs back on the road!

Good modifications But you dont have a middle hand support This is alife hack for me

vtec kicked in yo

Where can we get those mud flaps from can’t find them anywhere

Any filter or dust filter inside?

My 91 range rover classic has a solid frame ( 300,000 miles ) my wife's 94 disco 1 has a solid frame, we also have a 96 disco 1 ( spares dept ) with a solid frame, when we looked at changing the 94 disco for a disco 2 we looked at quite a few all with rusty frames, what happened did LR cut cost and buy cheaper frames?. we did think of putting a disco 2 body on the disco 1 frame but not sure it would work, anyone found a solution to this problem, as a foot note I had a 71 RRC many years ago and that had a rotten frame as well.

What happen to the 2jz

fine to know back on the Road with Disco Drivefeeling not Everyody can understand

What's going on with the old Series Landy's? I would like to see you take on one of those.

Great colour! Glad you’re keeping it going. Beautiful rig

Hi Nisse , What wheel rims have you got on your D2? I think they look really good. Regards, David Brown

Thanks for the update, it's the classic Land Rover snowball effect. I'm trying to see what I can afford to put in my Disco 1 to replace the tired 200tdi, I'm hesitant to go to Td5 and I'm currently looking at fitting an American V8. There are no cheap options apparently!

happy for guys - back on the road ;-)

In the UK, the (os) drivers side is nearly always more rusted than the passenger side (ns). It's always weird to me. Plus, my defender chassis at the front is still black from the shop, (1994) but the back is non-existent, hahaha.

Worldclass! You made place an order for a Jimny after having watched the video… now just have to buy the Forge unit and the other bits and bobs

Good one! is it rubbing against the AC pipe? 10:50

I like the wheels, where are they from

love it but hey the best way to get performance is buy a V8 and get a real car again.... sort your defender please :)

Get it turbo charged

Its a shame that there are no before and after performance figures to see the numbers other than a subjective opinion on the noise. Personally, I doubt that there has been any gain over the stock system as both have the same cold air intake and the foam filter in the canister would put me off immediately because they generally don't work, either filtration or flow. The stock air box will probably be excellent at flow and spend money on a K&N panel filter, you will have great flow, filtration and durability with 1M mile warranty and 40,000ml cleaning routine. You will also find its probably less prone to ingesting water should you go wading. I would have retained the stock filter box, fit it with a K&N and then insulated the existing box and ducts with closed cell insulation to retain the cold air. That package would have improved horsepower and torque.

Absolutely nothing like a great induction noise! Drove a little Caterham 660cc once - with its tiny turbo - was the most fun I've had on four wheels in a long time! Had the widest grin on my face everytime I floored the throttle!

That’s your fuel consumption buggered..you will be playing all the time for the noise

I had a Forge hose kit on my old Smart Roadster and that helped the engine note too, it was a nicely made kit. I really believe a nicely tuned induction note can sound better than an exhaust note, less obnoxious for people outside too.

Great content 👍 It might not be "need to have" but it is sure nice to have 😁😉

It sounds like Nisse V8 ... or better. 🤣🥰😘

T wash or an etch primer. Epoxy primer or a DTM epoxy and 2 pck semi gloss black. Please don't paint it in garden furniture paint.. They are cheap for a reason..

Never miss a splash...1 year later...fitting an new chassis to my defender.😂

When do we get an update 🥹

Why not Maer chassis? Would have been more tax economical in Europe.

Lookin forward to this !

Great video👍 It won't be the last time your Jimny is towing your landy...😉😁

The sound at the start-up of the engine is amazing...

Nice project,cant waicht for the next one! Hvl.

E mew for emu please. 🙉🙏👍🏻🦘

Best wishes! Looking forward to seeing your Defender’s renaissance!

Tis' the year for new chassis' ;)

Hammerite? God no. Use a decent epoxy like Jotun Jotamastic, sticks better and is much harder wearing. Hammerite and smoothrite are pretty old hat.

Excited to see this progress with your Defender! I’m hoping to use Hammerite on my Galvanised Chassis too so will be interested to see how you get on 😃

Please treat the Chassis with T-Wash before painting galvanised metal or the paint will fall off! I tried Fox shocks on my 110, they are rubbish compared to Koni Heavy tracks!

acid etc the chassis then give it a good wash let it dry then start your painting

Yes, I suffer from that Paddock shopping basket syndrome. Just need a heater cable for my '89 110. GBP 1500 later..... Never mind, my therapist has prescribed medication and therapy sessions and says I will be better in no time. Looking forward to following this story.

DON'T paint over the fresh Galvanizing, it will 'throw' the paint after a short period. You either need to leave it for a year to weather. Or treat it with an acid first. There are products sold for this but honestly don't paint it without doing something.

Great to see you again working the Landy

Looking forward to seeing this come together 🎉

Very exciting 😁

Always worth waiting for. Thank you

Nice choice of suspension

Hopefully there will be a sequel soon😃

"Silicon sealant to keep water out".... 🤣 I bet you guys believe in the tooth fairy too 😆

I think a lot of people who are interested in land rovers are also interested (possibly secretly) in Jimnys. I'd like to see how your land rover sensibilities view the jimny.
