@@DirtLifestyle if I were to want to do a front end alignment, specifically for the caster angle on my xj with adjustable long arms (3link) should I be looking at adjusting just the lowers or adjust the upper of combination of both. Just finished converting it and doing stiffeners but can’t get an alignment done before the end of next month here.

Huge Disco fan. I’ve seen your rig but had no idea, this takes “built not bought” to the next level.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thanks! It was alot of hard hours and thinking outside the box but now it's complete and I can enjoy 🤘 glad to see you enjoying it as well brother

[@johnharrelson7537]

When you first started this channel I knew you were gonna be one of my favorites, and I was right. Love the content Nate! Great work! Have loved watching every minute of every video. Hopefully some J10 and TJ content next?!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you! I'm honored! My wifes gladiator should be a quick build then I will start bouncing between the taco and my J10 👊

[@Tboffroadfab]

Idk you done that on purpose or not, but I love the part where you’re swinging the hammer and it lines up perfectly with the beat of the music lol

[@simon-mouse8739]

I had forgotten just how much you had put into this D2 and I love it. Fantastic high quality job as always and especially so even though you had to chop it into 10 mins and miss out so much of what you have done 😎👍👌

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you!

[@shaunjohnwood]

Incredible, I watch your Disco videos over and over. I purchased a '97 Discovery 4 years ago for $3k CDN... Haven't done anything other than a few oil changes.. I have no tools, no space, no time, no money and she is running a bit rough now, which makes me sad. Your rig always provides me with "what if" possibility dreams and I thank you for that! Great work!

[@DirtLifestyle]

These are great rigs if you take care of them! It is certainly worth the time and money to build one if you are willing. Thanks for watching buddy 👊

[@Revnahead957]

enjoyed watching the build series and then then really enjoyed capping it off with this 10 min video. WELL DONE - all of it!!! THANK YOU!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the series as well 🙌

[@MyShadowblue]

Know how much I love this rig? I'm a 3rd gen Tacoma owner and this is still my favorite of your stable.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Lol It sounds like we have similar taste. I can really relate to folks like you that aren't necessarily brand loyal but Instead appreciated something unique. These days I just see these projects by what parts they have not the brand that build the original chassis. I'm sure you would love to see all these parts on a 4 runner or land cruiser but I'm happy to see you can appreciate it even when it's on a land rover lol 🙌

[@MyShadowblue]

We just like what we like! What attracts me to the Disco is the work you've done to it. I'd love to pick up an older Defender and follow your lead.

[@DirtLifestyle]

@@MyShadowblue same here man! I just like what I like as well 👍

[@xj_overlander]

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you for the high praise 🙏 I appreciate your positive feedback

[@Kris-jk9mq]

As a Disco 1 owner that hits the AZ rocks HARD and beats it up good, I have to say they're quite a capable vehicle offroad even old and stock. I just installed a 2" lift more so because it was sagging the 'Gansta Rover lean' to the right. Oddly new terriforma kit is still 20mm leaning to the right. Anyhow HATS off to you man! Super awesome build and LOTS of inspiration here! Quality work on a Rover!

[@hoss8115]

I have a fondness for 'old' rovers, what you did with yours is just amazing! I went a different direction in the end and kept modifying my YJ.

[@kennethtew2740]

From a fellow Discovery II owner....Super impressive build. That truck is badass!!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you!

[@RobertLowery]

I have been really impressed with your skills over the past few months, since discovering your channel. Having all these examples of those skill being put to use pulled together into one short video really blew me away.

[@luckypenney116]

That was supremely satisfying to watch. Well done in all aspects, fab and film.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thanks! Happy to see so many of you enjoyed it!

[@kissane1980]

[@diegodmitry]

[@calebjared75]

you are living my dream, I love that garage! Thank you for doing what you do, this is so much more satisfying that people who just buy and review expensive parts that they didn’t even install themselves.

[@adamseaman7306]

Have loved watching this all come together. Thanks Nate. Amazing skills and content.

[@richardogden4800]

Although I’ve watched every video as they came out it wasn’t until this 10 minute retrospective that I realized how much TIG ( which you claim not to be good at) went into the build. That and the amazing number of fabrication specific tools you’ve amassed and mastered are a tribute to your “get it done” attitude. Years older, and years behind in fab skills, I aspire to build something like you do in my retirement years.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Hey man! Thank you very much for the positive vibes. I'm just a dude doing his best to build cool stuff lol

[@jackiejoe8930]

[@ZachC-130]

Some budgets are different than others no doubt. Awesome build none the less.

[@jahannsurvival1556]

As someone who wants to learn how to fab my own parts for building offroad vehicles and race cars I love your videos. but my engineering degree looks at this build and is defiently in aw of the amount of work you put into it. Hands down an incredible build. I look forward to see your future builds. and maybe one day being able to see them in person.

[@samwalker3441]

Crazy good work. The Devil is always in the detail. Outstanding skills. Thanks for posting, Nate.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thanks! Yes she is! It's a lot to handle sometimes lol but I love this rig

[@mikebiron7339]

Wish we were neighbors. I've had neighbor friends like you, and got the biggest amount of fab work and custom work done together. Without them, my inspiration is none. That's where I'm at now. XJ sitting on 31's with a 3" rough country cheapo lift. It's begging for 33's or 35's and a nice lift with all the goodies. No inspiration. No motivation. Too bad you don't do house visits like Stacey David did for awhile. Kind of like an emergency make over visit. LOL. Luv watching, hope some day I can go on the trips you and Trail Recon go on. Maybe get the whole fab youtube crew together for a trip? You, Trail Recon, Lite Brite, Fab Rats, Matt's offroad, Bleepin Jeep, etc. That would be epic. Hell, that would motivate me to finish the XJ!

[@mikemorgan4670]

Very cool video, awesome rig. Nice fabrication work. Hands down best fast action build video this year.

Holy cow man, such a clean build!!

[@Zechimus]

Awesome "summary" video Nate! Love it. 🤙🏻

[@laloolhouvum1634]

I've seen the full series and simply just love it. Nate, when I, subscribed your channel a couples years back, your subs were like 2.5k. Trail recon is one of my favourites overlanding video and I, got into overlanding after watching whole Trail recon videos. Then I, found out 4WD24/7 (Australian) just love it. Australian off-road like hell. Love their canopy system. I, got the latest ISUZU 2021 D-max top variant just when it was released and slowly building up. Trail recon, Dirt lifestyle and 4WD24/7 got me.

[@DirtLifestyle]

I hope you enjoy the video!!! Budget of course means different things to different people. All said and done this is about 25k worth of parts and material including the cost of the rover. For an off-road rig that is triple locked with 1 ton axles, a roof top tent, custom suspension, one of a kind bumpers, sliders, gull wing windows, a full air system, dual batteries and a full size fridge... this price is rock bottom. The capabilities of a 1 ton Land Rover on 37s is extremely high for the money you spend. For comparison my stock as a rock Toyota Tacoma cost me 43k and its still on 30" highway tires lol. That same Tacoma with all these specs would be a 70k dollar build easy. This Land Rover Discovery 2 took thousand of hours and lots of carful planning but I absolutely love the way it turned out. It still does 70 on the hwy and it floats over obstacles on the trail. If you want to learn more check out the series of videos I did on this Discovery. It is very detailed and you can see all that is involved in making this truly one of a kind Off-road monster!

[@tysonj3910]

Thanks for sharing the cost. I agree that you definitely got a lot of bang for your buck. I'm not sure how you don't get overwhelmed having so many rigs though. How do you even pick which one to drive let alone which one gets new parts!?

[@DirtLifestyle]

@@tysonj3910 lol it's a little overwelming but but I manage it fine. I ran the plumbing side of new construction for many projects over the years so I'm use to having many irons in the fire. And I like getting to choose what to drive lol. It's pretty fun to figure out what to take to the gym in the morning 😁

[@tomd1939]

This is like redline rebuilds. But.....dirt life rebuilds. Lol awesome

[@mrbear143]

Very Damn Cool!! I have a 99 Disco 2 - purchased in 01 - always envisioned overlanding with it. 20+ yrs later, just retired- maybe now I can do something to it. Only 125k miles on it. Lol. Need to at least toss a rooftop tent on it so I can go camping with my 7 yr old son. Thanks for some cool ideas! No way could I ever do all those things - I don’t have that skill set. The pull out drawer systems would be a good project to start with though.

[@mrwonkwonk]

Holy crap bro. I'm surprised you didn't build the fridge from scratch.

[@leapinlizard9487]

Nate I am so impressed with your many talents. My son-in-law & I also each have a 2003 Land Rover Discovery SE7. We also love these vehicles & have taken them on numerous off road adventures in the last two years. However, one problem that continues to plague us is overheating. We live in the Phoenix area so we have excessive ambient air temp. in the summer of 105-115 degree for many months. We have both installed Ultra Gauges to monitor our coolant temp. During summer months our coolant temp. run about 195-203 at speeds of 40-45 mph. At stop lights or stop & go traffic we can hit 205-208 degrees. What is the max. temp. of the 4.6 V-8 engine in these vehicle before we can expect damage? Have you had any heating problems with your D2 or have you done anything to address overheating? Your 1,000 mile summer trip is absolutely amazing to us!

[@ShotGunner5609]

That first song sounded like a badass anime intro. I'm more of a detailed build guy. But a recap video is still fun to watch. Beautiful looking rig man.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you! I can see where you would get that vibe 👍

[@the_bencredible]

The fact that $25k is considered budget is why I’ll never have money lol. I’m $18k in to my TJ and even still I’m not sure I’d run the Rubicon

[@DirtLifestyle]

Lol I feel you. And yes you can build an offroad rig for less but if you want all these features, capabilities and durability it's gonna cost some money. The TJ is one of the better value for dollar spent in my opinion because the low weight high reliability is pretty damn Good right out of the box. And I've been saying this for years but a TJ on 35s will do 99% of the trails in America 🇺🇸 You got a great platform to start with

[@michaelelliott2026]

It was great meeting with you at CES-thanks for taking the time to speak with me about the Discovery build. I finally found a 2004 Discovery for a project build late last month so here we go….my third LR build is on. Can’t thank you enough for this series. As we discussed, I have been working on Rovers for about 20 years and I have never seen anyone document a build as comprehensively as you have with this Discovery. It’s really hard to find this level of detail on a Rover project. You will help a lot of people who are interested in this very unique vehicle. By the way, what was the name of that additive you were putting in the vehicle to stop the “alleged” slipped cylinder sleeve problem (I may have the same problem…)?
