Land Rover Discovery 3 / LR3 Spare Wheel Tire Carrier - Part 2 of 2 / S1-Ep3

#Landrover #LandroverDiscovery #LR3
Finished the spare wheel carrier. Took way longer than I thought. It´s missing a feature to lock it in the open position. For now, I leave it like this. Hope you enjoy the video.

After watching all your most recent content, I thought I would go back to where you both started. Although I do not speak German, I can still understand your intent and plan. All I would like to say that is you are both incredible people, showing us all what is possible with the right attitude, material and tools. Thank you for your insight into owning and operating a Land Rover and Christian, your fabrication skills are amazing, your Dad (Master tool maker) would be proud of what you produce. Thank you once again and keep the excellent content coming.

Thank You Steve for your kind comment. 🙏😃🙋‍♀️Vera

Wow... This video popped up as a suggestion today, and I'm so impressed how far your channel has come. You were just baby KZbinrs back then, so cute! ❤

[@oxigeny]

Amazing craftmanship - thank you for sharing this process. It was mesmerizing to watch. Also the outcome is excellent. Looking forward for more vids - subscribed!

[@pwhan12345678]

Yes 👍...it's nice to watch a craftsman at work...brilliant.Keep it up mate 😉💪

Having built my own tire carrier for the Disco 3 and installed many after market ones on about 4 Disco3-4 models I have decided building your own is a much better feeling. Your version is much simpler to build than a whole bumper with swing away system. But each version has it's challenges. I liked your build and I will look into upgrading mine if I ever come up to that choice again. Great work.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Thanks.

It's great to see good design in addition to the clever and skillful machining and engineering. Besser als viele originalteile!

Christian, that's a genius design solution.

[@chrisviviers5649]

Visiting all your previous videos and I'm seriously impressed. Liked the reference to "This Old Tony" very much. You inspire me to make more mods to my old shape Defender.

[@firaszeidan]

Good job, and your work is very professional, specially the details, there are some details you could dismiss them, but you didn’t, that’s shows how professional you are and talented, I just bought the LR3, and I’m preparing it for off-road , & I checked with some local suppliers & welders, they made it a nightmare for me, but when I saw your video you made it so so so easy. And I just took the measurements of the spare wheel and planning to follow your steps. Thank you for publishing and sharing videos like that, I have a channel & I know it is not easy for such videos.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Oh boy, I hope you have watched also other videos from us. That was just about the first video we ever did for KZbin. 😀👍We have, however, modified that spare wheel carrier into a expedition kanister and traction board holder in one of our last videos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnfFiJlvaamljLc For us here in Europe, going to not too long trips, it makes no sense in carrying a second spare wheel. 😀 But I am sure your's will be great and it's going to look so good on your Disco .🙋‍♀️Vera

[@gregorpopp4245]

That is a wonderful job, I loved watching it, but way too complicated for most people watching. We need a bush mechanic who does not have a comprehensive workshop like you, I am jealous. Some people use a stub axle from a trailer. Having said all that love your show, ex German now Australia. 3 yrs old

[@Vera_and_Christian]

😅👍🙋‍♀️Vera

[@martinbradshaw692]

Dear Christian. I also carry 2 spare wheels when away from home. Would life be easier if you had just bought the carrier? Whatever, I enjoy watching your fabrication skill and craftmanship.

Nice

[@theobien5399]

Grosse klasse

[@maciejrowinski-jabokow18]

I wonder why you set it up on the right hand side. The other side would be much more convenient in a country with right - side traffic (and parking). Moreover, the rear window is smaller on the left side, anyway.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Well, when I open it while the car is parked, it opens toward the sidewalk and not toward the middle of the road. Remember, everything else is also the other way around here, not only the steering wheel. 🙋‍♀️Vera

[@EWOverland]

Very bright idea and mechanism. Which welding system you use and which brand ?

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Oh our old Lorsch Tig welder👍🙋‍♀️

[@hhhc364]

@Christian and Vera, did the spare wheel carrier last and work on trips? Any things you would have done differently after having used it? I have gotten some quotes to buy one and there is no way, I will also rather build my own. Thanks for the good video

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Hello Herman, we have modified the spare wheel carrier to a fuel tank and traction board carrier last year. Here in Europe, we just don't need 2 spare wheels for our kind of travel, at the moment at least. But, while we used it as a spare wheel carrier it worked just fine. We did not change it because it did not work. Just because we did not need it. Check this video out for the build kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnfFiJlvaamljLc 🙋‍♀️Vera

[@philadams92]

Really great informative videos, great humour just discovered your channel. Have a 2005 Disco 3 myself which i have turned into an overlander. Looking for your sliding rear tray for the fridge, where did you find that? or is it another of your fantastic builds? Regards Phil

[@jean-francoissavoy9213]

Excellent design and solution. I am about to built one for my LR4. Do you have some drawing? What about return of experience (i.e use) of your carrier. Did you experence shaky off-road conditions?

[@Vera_and_Christian]

No, no shaking what so ever. Unfortunately there are no drawings. We might do another take on it because now we have traction boards mounted to the carrier. We did not take a 2nd spare wheel with us this year because we had the mountain bikes with us. 🙋‍♀️ Vera

[@sokoletto]

Nice, great work. Now for what you will use the original place of the spare wheel?

[@Vera_and_Christian]

We actually mounted our recovery boards to the spare tire mount and kept the spare under the car. This will be visible in an upcoming video. Christian

[@davehanstock9586]

Great to watch but is there any chance of an English version so a non engineering numpty can understand a bit more . Buy the way I'm now hooked lol keep going.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

No, unfortunately not. That the spare part carrier was very first videos we made. More or less just for fun, and he did not really said anything of importance, no explaining or rambling, like these days 😅. Like I said, it was a first try with youtube. 🙋‍♀️Vera

@@Vera_and_Christian merci

[@andersstenhouse]

Great work but I am wondering why you relocated it the spare wheel?

[@Vera_and_Christian]

We actually have two spare wheels when we leave the country. Reason is that we had a flat in Croatia once before and it left a bad taste with us.

[@derek6044]

Do they not sell tape measures across the pond over there? Or do you prefer those ruler type deals?

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Oh you noticed. The folding scales or whatever they are called are more common. Of course tape measures are available but they are not good to point at stuff and talk so smart about it to your friends. Then you can’t open bear bottles with a tape measure. This is the primary function of the foldable scales - not measuring stuff. 😬👍
