First Start! × 4BT Cummins Discovery #35 [Land Rover Build]

[@Tinker1837]

*Skip to the start-up? [Click here > **15:39**]* _NOTE: I'm swapping the Valvoline for Redline MT85 due to a mixup with trans suppliers recommendations. Because as it turns out that SynPower stuff is "iffy" for the NV4500, but the Redline oil's on point with New Venture's (the trans manufacturer) specifications_ 👍

IT had to happen but nothing is ever guaranteed. I've had the pleasure of hearing a 6.3 V8 GMC diesel in a 110 Land Rover and a 3.5 litre 4BTD Isuzu in a classic Range Rover as well. So well done sir! Now show us how to close the lid...looking forward to that bit as well as when you use it in anger.

btw, that's a hell of deep and smooth sound. Recommend watching this with headphones or HQ speakers. ❤️

[@Tinker1837]

Two years old anticipation becoming a reality :D

[@rebel9838]

This thing is so freaking badass! It was mine and I could add one more thing to it, I'd a C.T.I.S. (C-central T-tire I-inflation S-system) to it which would just put it over the top and make it better than all of your friends vehicles. It would also make it so much more capable in any and all terrain you put it through. For those who don't know what C.T.I.S. is well it's a central tire inflation system which allows you to deflate or inflate your tires from inside the vehicle. So if you are off-roading and end up in a area with a lot of rocks that you didn't plan on, then you can deflate you tires to give better traction but also once past that obstacle you will be able to reinflate the tires. Another great feature you get with C.T.I.S. is run flat, where if you puncture a tire and can't repair it or don't have a spare you can press the emergency tire button which pumps air into that specific tire constantly to keep it inflated so you can get to a area to fix it or change it. The military uses it on most of their vehicles and since they do it makes it easier to find a whole kit from say a junk yard or eBay for pretty cheap. Oh yeah 1 other thing I would definitely add as well is portal axles. Which are found on unimogs for a solid axle or you can find independent portal axles on military Hummers. What is a portal axle? Well it's basically a axle with a extra gear box at the end where you Mount the tires which not only gives you a 30% gear reduction but also drops the wheel hub up to 6inchs lower which in return pushes the axle.upward giving you a extra 6 inches of ground clearance from the axle. Whit having a extra 30% gear reduction takes some of the strain off your engine and transmission helping them run cooler so you can also run larger tires without over working the engine and transmission. You can also change the gearing to give more reduction but less wheel speed for like rock crawling or less reduction for a higher wheel speed. Okay I'll stop here lol sorry for the long ass comment but when I start talking about 4x4,s and off roading I tend to not stop lol just very passionate about it. Thanks for reading this and have a great day.

[@Tinker1837]

I've got the modified Humvee wheels which have the ports for the CTIS and both my engine & transmission have PTO connections with options for air pumps... coincidence? Maybe. Haha!

[@biam908]

I thought I saw gear oil going in the trans. Just make sure it's the right fluid the synchros in the nv4500 need a special fluid. As amsoil makes a pretty decently priced alternative to the dealerships

[@Tinker1837]

Yeah that's what the company that built it for me recommends (high impact) which is really convenient because that's the same stuff the Rover transfer case builders use too 😁👍

[@Tinker1837]

...and as it turns out the trans builder's site was outdated. That oil I used is iffy for my transmission, going to change it with some Redline MT85 stuff specifically made for it. Thanks for making me think on it more & double check!
