Land Rover vs Hummer - D1 vs H1 @ The Nepean Trail

Land Rover Discovery 1 vs Hummer H1 4x4 challenge.
The Land Rover Discovery 1 goes up against the mighty Hummer H1 at the rocky Nepean trail at Emu Plains. This was also the first off road run for the newly acquired Hummer.
It's a rare opportunity to have the iconic Hummer H1 tackle Australian terrain. Be sure to subscribe for more videos featuring the Hummer H1 off road rock crawling in Australia.
The Land Rover Discovery 1 v8 is twin Arb air locked on 35 inch tyres while the Hummer H1 is on 37 inch tyres with Torque Biasing Differentials front and rear made by Torsen (Tor/Sen, Tordue Sensing Diffs).
Enjoy and as always feel free to comment, share and subscribe.

disco all the way for me.....great work guys

[@0hn0haha]

That hummer needn't have suffered so much. Learning how to drive a thorsen/limited slip diff offroad makes it actually far more rewarding, easier, and faster than a locking differential.

[@ashchaya7676]

1:20 brilliant demonstration of how to overcome the shortcomings of a Torsen LSD (when one side gets zero traction) - use the brake to give it some resistance to get that torque multiplied to the other side.

[@gc8032]

Great driving and Communicatipn by both of you guys looks like a great day. thanks for shareing looking forward to seeing more of your 4 wheeling adventures

​@@lrorwhy has the hummer content stopped it's sad but anyways I subscribed to you I have never seen such good videos of rock crawling thank you so much for this

[@scalercenthusiasm6983]

BIG fan of hummer h1,great video!

[@adventuresofjake2553]

Once again great vid, good to see the d1 monster again

[@lror]

Thanks for taking the time to drop us a comment, glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@51mondays]

Nice vid thanks. What do you think of ATB difs ? Looks like a bit of a struggle to get the dif to stay locked on the first hill

[@lror]

Thanks glad you liked it. ATB like most limited slips are a reactive system and need to be driven as such. A locker selectable or auto definitely has an advantage.

[@jiggermast]

Two VERY good drivers & two VERY capable vehicles, but I'd put the Disco slightly ahead, a better test would be to change the same drivers around & do it all again. Nice vid LROR.

[@ciumoiucucaca]

is it me or the tires look a bit too inflated ?

[@RichardHubbuck]

1:32 - No diff-lock?

[@landroverzone9824]

Cero articulation on that Hummer 😧!!! Discovery Winn by far!!

[@samftr]

Been meaning to ask, is this D1 a manual or an automatic? Love the exhaust too.

[@lror]

Thanks mate. The D1 is manual.

[@IndyHepburn]

WOW that H1 Crawls so good! must have excellent gearing, shame about the lack of travel..

[@lror]

+Indy BUCHAN-HEPBURN Yes they have great gearing and he is just getting used to driving it. Stay tuned as a few mods have been done.

[@scottriggs2592]

excellet video!!!!!! was impressed with the Hummer!!!!!!

[@shmuelleib6591]

Kudos to both drivers and vehicles....and that's the best looking Hummer that I've ever seen.

[@lror]

Thanks for watching. We have many videos with this hummer.

[@nickjovanovic5258]

nice work LROR i love the footage mate😍😍

[@lror]

Thanks a lot mate, glad you liked it 👍

[@sebastiantaylor9188]

hey where in emu plains is this? never knew there was a track in emu plains

[@tommyv4980]

If diff lock not available on the hummer?

[@creepycrawler5667]

Great video.. Hope to see more of the hummer.

[@lror]

creepy crawler Stay tuned more to come.

[@LEGOCAMARO]

Find it amazing how little suspension travel that hummer has like a board. Yet still managed with big tires and ground clearance.

[@jslakenes5540]

A right hand drive hummer?

[@Abraxas_90]

Disco is the best car ever

[@bobbybulan8472]

U compare a half Toyota/rover whit lockers vs a stock H1

[@shemmac4700]

great video, and again, some very good spotting

[@lror]

Thanks for taking the time to drop us a comment. Glad your enjoying the videos 👍

[@Overlandwithjanandmaxine]

Which rims u got on there ? Planning 35treps on my d1 cheers... edit.. the video is fucking awesome like every video from u buddy!!

[@brentcraddock7169]

Nice looking bit of rock ,will have to check it out

[@zakutha]

Brent Craddock Come down mate there's a few other interesting sections in the area.

[@brentcraddock7169]

Soon , going to do a Menai /Appin weekend.Is this near Appin

[@zakutha]

Brent Craddock Probably same distance from Menai as Appin. Let me know when your heading down and I'll join you.

[@jacquelinecheong2454]

Does the left foot braking and throttle makes all the difference with the torsen diff hummer? Was there a time the humvee felt lacking without a proper locker? Or still a very capable truck? How's it crawling or still need lots of braking?

[@gc8032]

Jacqueline Cheong hi by brakeing it places the most torque into the wheels with best footing. This is exactly what is surpose to be applied when you have any wheel slippage. The advantage of doing this manually is once you develop a feel for this it becomes a natural part of your driving. And actually will provide ypu with much better footimg and stability whilst you climb any obstical in the way. I hope this is the answer you were looking for.

[@samftr]

Also what's the 3.9 like on the juice?

[@lror]

Its actually a 3.5 and its definitely not economical 😂

[@samftr]

LROR Land Rovers Off Road how scary is it? Lol looking for a D1 as a weekend and getaway vehicle.

[@jeffhalperin8066]

Brake, throttle management look it up, works for me. h1.

[@lror]

It sure does, watch the video again and you will see he is using it throughout. Thanks for taking the time to drop us a comment.

[@chefderappa4838]

Great video

[@Fumingzeus]

Not a fair comparison, H1 was designed and built for the military...the Land Rover, especially the disco was not. Still prefer my old defender👍🏻

[@lror]

Real world is mostly unfair 😬 Defender 💪

[@non-masturbatingtyrannosau3476]

Fumingzeus the hummer H1 is a civilian version of the HUMVEE and was never used by the military

[@bkeene12]

No, the H1 was built on the exact same assembly line as the HUMVEE. When it comes time to install the interior, it was pushed to the right of the line, installed and pushed back on to the line to finish up, then it is pushed over to a paint area while the rest of the vehicles go elsewhere. There is no other difference between the two vehicles. I know this because I went to Indiana where the H1 is built to pick mine up.

[@koitorob]

Yes, and as such it should have an advantage over the LR as it was built to be driven off road as rarely are wars fought along tarmac roads...

[@michaelfletcher1224]

Koito rob it does have an advantage over a stock disco. That disco is very modified. The stock Hummer could do all the carrying 2000 lbs of payload.

[@ersklordy]

Who needs traction control do you notice how they apply brakes to stop them losing traction you can see this working about 827

[@lror]

+ersklordy Well spotted man 👍

[@koitorob]

I'm gonna have to try and remember this when playing in my D1

[@captainwin6333]

Torsen aint no use when the wheel lifts off the ground. The driver has to apply the brakes.

[@michaelfletcher1224]

Cool disco! Not exactly stock right? The Hummer appears to be stock. Not really apples to apples. A stock Disco wouldn’t be able to keep up with the Hummer. Lift the Hummer a couple of inches and add bigger tires and the disco wouldn’t keep up again. Plus the Hummer can do that and carry a metric ton of payload. Anyway, it’s still a cool Disco.

[@lror]

No doubt, Hummer is a total weapon. Check out our other vids to see it perform on 40s 👌😎

[@HorseMeal]

Never knew they made RHD hummers

[@lror]

It's been converted 👍

[@eliXerxes]

It's like the driver of this beast (H1) uses brake trottle modulation late

[@bkeene12]

Quiet honestly, I'm not so sure he understands how to use it just yet. He might be new to driving that particular vehicle. He makes a lot of semi-rookie mistakes. There is a big learning curve with using the H1 off road- but in the end, the throttle and military grade hardware allows you to make mistakes and keep moving forward.

[@chefderappa4838]

But the hummer guy needs to put it in diff lock

[@SPARTAN-gv3bd]

Land Rover is the best

[@jameslight24]

The H1 being as wide as my ex wife’s ass would not work for the type of forest trails I ride but it would still be fun to wheel one every now and then.

[@DAGZ_OG]

#discosquad

[@pravasmandal430]

Land is the best

[@F6garage]

Did u see how easily the English disco climbed better than the great hunk of heavy useless hummer with out difflock 😂

[@DRTMaverick]

Well hummers have more clearance but less wheel travel. Plus they weigh a ton more. Honestly they aren't the most capable off-road vehicle but rather they are designed to carry personnel through wartorn streets where you'll have rubble and other things that might impede your ability to leave. Stick them on a slope and even with their diffs locked the 10,000lb+ weight of these things will clearly show how disadvantageous they are to offroading rigs. Even my 2nd gen Xterra has more wheel travel. Maybe less clearance because I don't have portals, but still I cycle 8" of wheel travel. The Hummer wasn't built with wheel travel in mind- it was built with keeping the drivetrain tucked up and away in mind, so at the sacrifice of wheel travel, they used portal axles, with the tradeoff of more ground clearance and the ability to skidplate the bottom w/ no drivetrain exposed. Great for military applications, not great for off-roading. These things cycle like 4" of wheel travel. It's pathetic.

[@F6garage]

I completely agree the hummer is mostly made for carrying people but the disco is more capable in certain circumstances. I do honestly think that the humer is mostly suited to battle field carrying military personnel rather than a steep rocky hill where it is very out of place

[@DRTMaverick]

Exactly- it wasn't engineered to be a rock crawling rig, at least not as much as the disco was.

[@F6garage]

Honestly the disco was originally meant to be a luxury cross utility. But they were easily customisable and easy to fix so that made them very good for lots of different jobs or just to have fun

[@rjofur]

Do not see why that matters; just rather pathetic fanboy comment. I like seeing different trucks taking on challenges. They don’t all have to be best. We are not all childish.
