Clearly your MTSgt was better than some of those I cam across!! Joking aside, we had to do a 500km convoy run in Canada and the MT were so worried that my FFR wouldn't make it, they actually sent a recovery truck with us 😂😂😂. But I'm with you, LRs (anything pre 2016 for Defenders, the Disco family up to and including the D4, and the RR up to and including the L322) are great, as long as they're properly maintained. And you understand in advance their faults and niggles. But they can be equally annoying when they do go wrong. Anyway, great vid. Been thinking of an overland/exped spec LR and have trying to decide if I want to fully spec my 2012 DCPU or get a dedicated D4. I think Mrs Angry Poulet would prefer the D4. 🤣

Super cool build! I have a 05 lr3 built mid year so has the Jag v8 and not the BMW. I built it up so my son and I can hit the trails. It's a beast off road and doesn't even have the HD package with the rear locker, all traction control. I am a Toyota guy and own a Tundra and a old 4runner but there's something about my LR3 that puts a smile on my face when I'm out on the trails. Most people don't realize how capable and comfortable they are off road!

I’ve put over 350k miles on the two LR3’s that I’ve owned. Incredible platform. My current one is a 2008 with 246k miles and I drive from Texas in it on overland trips with fairly gnarly trails all over Colorado every summer. Don’t let the Nervous Nellies rain on your LR parade. Keep ahead of regular maintenance and preventative repairs on major wear items and it will not ever leave you stranded. Get a GAP obd11 tool and as others suggested, the SYA kit from Lucky 8. Great video, great rig, keep it up! #onelifeliveit

Exactly! The LR’s do require more maintenance. The problem is that most people don’t maintain their vehicle well enough and that will sneak up with you on this vehicle. Add to the exorbitant dealer prices ($1,800 for a break job with rotors) and you can start to see why many people complain.

Great video and amazing build. I see a lot of comments saying “I’ve heard” that these aren’t reliable and maybe that’s just from Land Rovers reputation in general but I have a 2005 LR3 with over 200K miles on it, rode hard in the southwest US camping, biking, over landing and I have absolutely loved it. So much more cabin space than a four runner with better materials inside with a ride quality that is unbeatable with the air suspension. Power distribution to all 4 wheels is better in the LRs than any of the Toyotas in an off road situation, that holds true even now in the new Land Rover models.

I've been overlanding my LR4 for 4 years now and it is hands down my favorite vehicle that I have ever owned. Yes, they are stupid expensive to work on. I spent 5k to have multiple small oil leaks fixed and I do choose to spend $300 to have my oil changed every time (every 10k miles mind). All that said, I bought mine for 18k 4 years ago and have put 70k on it since (currently at 160k). If you understand the maintenance costs up front it actually comes out pretty even when you figure how cheap you can get into a used one. So all together, vehicle plus maintenance for 70k miles, I am into mine for well under 30k. Try even finding a decent used 4runner in good shape for that...and forget about a jeep. And as a side note, I wheel pretty hard and this thing with the lift and some BFGs, it will go toe to toe with any Jeep in almost any terrain. Plus...at the end of the day, it rides like a Cadillac with the air suspension and weight and is super posh inside. Just make sure you have the timing chain checked out before buying one. If it's over 90k miles and is fine, you're all set. I really do think these things are slept on big time and there just really aren't any real negatives....but we're not gonna talk about the gas mileage. 😬

You are dead on correct here. Talking from years of overland experience in Africa. There is a very good reason why 90% of the offroad vehicles in Africa are either Hilux or Land Cruiser. Ability wise these Landies are cool as hell but holy shit they will break on you in worst places. We have a rule here. Sell it before it hits 90k km's. For weekend warrior stuff. No problem. But will I take it to the most remote places on earth and bet my life on it? No bloody way. Just not reliable enough.

But I chose to fix it, so she will be back on the road very soon. I live in Romania, where we enjoy the last prime forests of Europe.

Interesting to see an American style overlanding build. I love how it is perfectly set up around mountain biking. In Australia, most 'touring' builds (as we call it) have a custom 12V second/house battery system, instead of these newer off the shelf power packs. They'll typically be charged by a DC-DC charger which will pull power from the alternator via the engine battery terminals while the car is running, and optionally solar while it's stopped. Then people run simple 12V USB devices like you have, or pick up 240V (Australian mains power voltage) inverters to run larger appliances. Only thing missing is a fire extinguisher. I'd recommend a bracket that mounts to the front passenger seat bolts, so it's readily accessible in an emergency. And maybe more water storage (a simple gravity fed water tank mounted in dead space could increase your water capacity significantly). You could look into internal storage for the top/just under the roof of the cabin at the rear. Whether it's a cargo net or a rigid interior tray/basket. Might be a nice place to stash lightweight items, like those chairs, clothing, pillows, first aid kits, paper towels, things like that. Makes use of otherwise dead space.

Sweet. I modded a 2016 LR4. No problems with it until the air sus compressor went at like 105K miles. Which 100-125K is about their life. Here’s my word of warning to you though- get the larger bump stops from Lucky8. Reason- any fault with the air sus and it will drop to the bump stops. If you have the factory and those oversize tires you will be stuck in your wheel wells. It happened to me, but luckily I was less than 2 miles from home. I was able to limp it home but if I were offroad in the boonies I would have been, well you know. Also, learn where the fuse is for the air sus so you can kill it in high risk scenarios- like water crossings and long distance higher speed washboard roads. Just set it at the level you want then pull fuse. Just dont lose it. LOL. I have a vid on my build and one on taking out the fuse on my channel. Btw- Front Runner stuff is awesome- get their flatware roll if you don’t have it. I’m in a Gladiator now with an Alucab canopy and clamshell RTT. I store my mtb inside 24/7 along with all my riding and bike stuff, offroading stuff, and most of my camping stuff. So I really wanted more room than the LR4 had (in order to store my mtb I had to flip half the backseat down), so when it was time to let it go I wanted a pick up with a 5ft bed that I could also legit wheel. Gladiator was the obvious choice. So far I’m loving it. Makes getting outta town on a Fri after work so easy. Ironically for a family of four an SUV with fold down seats is better bc two can sleep inside, whereas they would have to be young kids to sleep in a 5 ft bed (although there are some solutions where a tent type cover goes over the down tailgate allowing taller people to fit) but for me it’s just myself or my kid and me (mama doesn’t camp) so a 2 person clamshell works great. Plus for me stealth with ability to store everything inside with nothing outside and quick and easy setup were the two keys to my build, so the pick up works better. But I do love your setup. Seems perfectly suited to your needs. I’m eyeing that Oso- my LBS has one in stock with Transmission and Im gonna demo it when I pick up my bike from service. I threw a leg over it round the parking lot when I dropped my bike off and was super impressed. Watched your vids with it which confirmed my initial feelings on it- super easy to maneuver and pop for it’s weight- which given all the heavy build stuff on it- 38 fork, 35 mm internal width rims, DD casing tires etc, isn’t even that bad. You still likin’ it? Any pedal strike issue? I heard some complaints about strikes but it’s the same bb height as my Bronson V3 which I have no problems with cause I’m not an idiot so I don’t know if it’s legit issue or just noobs to mtb who dont know how to time pedal strokes and dont realize that that’s a thing in mtbing. Enjoy the build and see you out there. 🤙

Nice! What's especially cool about the X-Lifter is that is also has a program to bring the vehicle back to stock height if there is a suspension fault.

Granted the resulting offset looks cool but it may not be very safe. Use them when not off-raoding I guess. And what @kl3vr said about the fines.

Sadly your joke is well founded. It’s completely luck of the draw. I have a Gen 1 Discovery. That thing was a tank. Over 200k trouble free miles and it was rock solid, but there was never a shortage of them in the dealership for repairs. If he picked up a good one, you can’t beat it.

Having owned a Tacoma and 4runner before my LR4, I would take the LR4 any day of the week over the Toyotas. Yes parts and service are inconvenient and more expensive and I would not recommend a Land Rover to anyone who was not prepared to do preventative maintenance themselves, but it is all worth it in my opinion for a vehicle that looks, drives, and hauls as well as it does. Especially in BC with big mountain highways. It’s also a killer rig for camping inside, something the 4runner simply could not do, especially given all the gear and passengers you haul.

Love the build. One point though, if you're over 8,000 lbs as stated in the video, you're well over the maximum GVW which is 3240kg (7,100lbs).

Rad setup, D4 fan here! We did some overlanding across Aus in our D4 during Covid. Do you guys have different dynamic weight limits for the roof and payload? All that kit and 4 people plus bikes etc would leave mine well outside the legal limits here as well as average handling. In overland mode where we needed to bring extra fuel, 2nd spare tyre etc on the roof, we decided to take a chance but didn't take a rooftop tent due to weight concerns and took an Aussie swag ( 22kg vs 55-80kg for RTT ).

Loved your video and your set up. I'm envious. Well done! You've said one thing that I've said numerous times...well something similar, and that is that I can buy two Discovery 4's (LR4's) for the same price as a used Land Cruiser of the same era... I own a 2012 Discovery 4 V8 with a Frontrunner rack.

Be on top of maintenance! Top quality replacement parts . No china parts, THE CORRECT octane fuel (don’t be cheap) Get a Scan gauge 2 or 3 Get a IID Gap scan tool for deep LR3 diagnosing and testing , reprogramming . Get a cheap nice automotive smoke tester. (Yes air leaks , vacuum leaks cause most problems on these .) Proper oil changes and proper oil viscosity . You should be fine
