My Arctic Land Rover Build! Yeti The Snow Wheeler episode 1. Land Rover Series 3

[@EricaMTB]

Limit straps are factory. Take off the courtesy skirt trim below the doors, and replicate in box section as a sleeper slider.

[@richardburns1698]

x2 on the sleeper slider idea. Perfect idea!

[@martijnbrandt7553]

That is how we do it with our rovers

[@tanco2158]

That's exactly my first thought...,👍

[@gtbodene]

Yes, and make it into a tank for lockers and tires.

[@elpatudo3670]

Sliders for snow?? 😂

[@DirtLifestyle]

What a bitter sweet video to make! I was so pumped on the j10 but I just had to much going on in my personal life to pull it off. The good news it this j10 will now get all the right parts. I REALLY wanted to do a p pump swap on this cummins but didn't have it in the onx build off budget. Now, I can do some of these smaller details that will make this the J truck of my dreams 😎. Plus.... Look at this old rover! What a great looking little monster. Snow can't come soon enough!

[@OdyTypeR]

Your lemonade is fukkin delicious😁 🍋➡️🥇 👍🏼👍🏼

[@calebberglund53]

Still stoked for the j10

[@Weidjeep]

Glad you're going to finish the J10. Also the Onx build is going to be sweet I'm sure.

[@diytoptricks]

From rust to ruggedness, this Land Rover is about to embark on an epic journey. Bring on the snow!

[@jrhill7059]

Ok ok, I might be a little let down on your choice of ONx build trucks, sorry. It's that I've have waited longtime on that j truck update. It's all good, keep up the top shelf work you do, later.

[@RadRover99]

We The Land Rover community and content makers are happy with this decision that Nate made. If we don’t make this American Land Rover content and build these trucks the American way who will! Great work bro!!

[@TheExpenditionForge]

If there's anything i like more than a Dirt Lifestyle build, its a Dirt Lifestyle restoration/build. I love a good before and after. I think this could give the Samaurai a run for my favorite build so far. Awesome Rover, keep it up brother!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you! I'm glad you are seeing the vision that I'm seeing 😁. This project has a ton of potential!

[@thomasleonard9685]

Nah…. I’d love that sammi. You take the rover even with big balloon snow tires. The sammi is badass. I don’t love the motor but the look and size is awesome

[@One_mole_worth]

Bought a discovery 2 with a blown head gasket because of your first land rover series. Went from only changing spark plugs before the LR to having several thousand miles on an LS swap I did myself in the disco. I cannot tell you how excited I am to see you working on another land Rover. I just turned on notifications. So stoked!

[@GarageBuiltRoss]

I bought a D2 after watching his build. Mine also had a blown up rover V8 which i rebuilt. It's got lovely sound and "enough" power. A alloy LS would be lights out so good. At the time I just couldn't see me making it work, a year later now I have a welder I'm thinking I could have done it no prob lol oh well

[@roydykens7376]

What parts did you use to get the ls in? Wish I had bought an ACE kit before they went out of production.

[@matt6986]

With winter coming I totally support a dedicated snow rig build. I would love to have something with giant balloon tires. Looking forward to seeing what you do on this new build!

[@janmartens7954]

It IS a clapped out one. Permission to slaughter: APPROVED!! Love the snow monster idea

[@ltmedic3]

I have always loved the badass look of arctic trucks, add that to a classic like that. You get my vote.

[@rodneyschmiede5847]

Congrats on the first deer with a bow. Nothing like feeding your family that way.

[@TannerFarrand]

This wasn't even on my radar of possibilities! Although i was excited to see Dirt Reynolds for the build challenge, I'm excited to see what you'll really be able to do with it now that you have the time you need to do it right. Excited about the Rover now though!

[@DirtLifestyle]

The J10 will end up being a much better final product! I want to do a mechanical injection pump and a few other pricey upgrades that wouldn'thave been possible for this competition. November will be all hands on deck to rebuild Tacoma. Then we get back to work on the jeep truck once the taco is back on the road 😎. I can't wait.

[@uwharriebigfoothunter]

As a die hard Land Rover lover, I'm totally going to enjoy this series.

[@baldurfreyr3570]

at38 tires need at minimum 14" wide wheels. the fenders only need to cover the tread of the tire in iceland

[@michaelharris1455]

Congrats on your harvest, makes a man feel good to provide meat for his family. Hate to see the p/u bumped back again, but understand the neccessity of it, and it makes it easier to take with you doing the Rover, which I think looks great! Thank you for acknowledging your help, their contributions often go unrecognized. Another great video, Nate, thank you for all you do to pit this stuff out for us!

[@Workmate_outdoors]

I was not ready for this. Super happy you changed and doing this build. Cant wait to see more episodes on the build and hopefully snow wheeling in the future. 1 vote for Nate

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you! This is going to be a blast in the deep powder

[@williamskidmorejr1359]

Winter Romp. If you’ve been around rovers long enough, you know that is the place you want to drive this truck.

[@Connor-re8pl]

I'm from England and land rovers are common over here which is great because I love them! cant wait for more videos.

[@uwharriebigfoothunter]

I'm in North Carolina and I'm a die hard Land Rover lover. I wish they were as common here. All the Rovers are becoming expensive in the states.

[@snakeskinproductions7500]

Always loved the series 3. Just classic Land Rover lines. They always remind me of watching Wild Kingdom as a kid when they would chase Rhino's with these things. A bit under powered but they were tanks. Looking forward to where you go with this build (after the build challenge).

[@lrcb40]

Series 3?

[@scottstone4948]

That is super cool! For the sliders, consider 1.5” square tubing. You could almost delete the panel beneath the door, and it would look factory,

[@jakeg2312]

Cream colored wheels like factory would pop like crazy on this with the tires. Last video on this I posted about putting yota axles on this so I’m amped to see this go down!

[@tylererickson4914]

Ok, I live the way this thing is turning out. It looks like the front axle needs to move forward an inch which could make it so you dont need to cut as much. Keep up the good work!

[@RogueD90]

I love the switch in direction, sure i want to see Dirt Renolds finished but seeing an old put away wet rover revived is amazing.

[@DuaneCaldwell]

While sad that the j10 will not be in the build off (I can understand why), I'm excited to see this Land Rover build come together. Always impressed with your fab skills, Nate. I know you'll come through with flying colors on this late switcharoo.

[@quinlafrance3260]

As a snow wheel only guy who lives in Lake Steven’s.. I love this!

[@branchandfoundry560]

Love seeing hunting interludes. And such a rad shift to build this Rover!

[@Thomasservo]

As a Series III owner in the US, I approve. You're not going to please everybody but at the end of the day, it's your vehicle.

[@kenbrown102]

Dude, I am super happily shocked to see this getting out in front. As an old Jeep guy 78 j-10 golden eagle/levi. But also a LR LR3 x 2 guy I just love this! Can’t wait to see it finished!!!!

[@jonastoigodesouza222]

Now I can't stop imagining how cool it will be to drive this thing in the snow

[@DirtLifestyle]

Dude, me too! Snow season can't come soon enough!

[@MichaelBlack-ud4bg]

You're a good dude Nate, love how you think deeply about projects and how you convey your ideas to your viewers. Keep up the great work 👍

[@ellertingvi]

So happy with the landrover, can't wait to see the AT38 super versatile tire and perfect for lighter snow rigs, but the AT44 is the shit in the snow.

[@mathewmay5361]

Very surprised about the change, but I absolutely love 'Landy's' and this build is sick!! Love and can't wait for the finish!!!!!

[@menzenski]

The stance with those 37s and those wheels is just perfect - it’s going to be incredible in the snow (looks like it just rolled out of Snowrunner, really).

[@kjohns236]

Another sweet, interesting build! Congrats on your Deer!!

[@jamesloughran7278]

Congratulations on your deer. I was really looking forward to seeing Dirt Reynolds on the trails. I hope the new one works out.

[@GarageBuiltRoss]

I came here for the Land Rover content stayed because your craftmanship and story telling *chefs kiss* so good.

[@shaneherman8906]

I love the Iceland vehicles. Watch them alot. I remember being in Fairbanks Alaska in the early 90s and going out the winter. 4 years there and I loved it. This will be a great build and I can't wait to see it all the way through.

[@dlansburg2673]

Great lesson for the kids,nothing more natural than hunting and venison. I’m all in on the new build! Thanks

[@jonaathansimons7938]

Rover's lookin good. Whole heartedly approve of the dedicated snow rig. Kids are generally accepting of hunting harvests if the surrounding adults (parents) are all for it. Introduced my daughter to it very young (watching daddy take the deer's "jammies" off & observe and then help with the butchering) and she's never looked back. Good job dad.

[@davidchappelle6480]

I have watch the Artic truck channel for years .. Love Um !!

[@oldjunkandrandomstuff]

I have 5 weeks left, let's start another build from the scratch then 🤣 love it 👍

[@Patrick-te1sc]

Big Snowrunner energy on this build. Love it. Cannot wait to see it all done.

[@doughaven-rf8id]

Gutsy yet smart move switching builds, Nate. Mocking up the stance was like a kid peeking into a Christmas gift. lol Awesome stance on the Rover, awesome build, awesome dad and the list goes on.

[@theadventuresofsaltyjrover]

Nate here we go again I was a jeep guy until you started the Discovery 2 , and have always loved vintage Land Rovers ( I have a 02 Disco 2 now that I’m obsessed with) now I’m on the hunt for an old Land Rover ( a bronco killer)

[@codychilders8307]

Man... watching you lay out the lasersis almost nostalgic at this point. I think last year I went back and watched the TJ videos.. feels like Dirtlifestyle lol

[@DRDE_CUSTOMS]

Changing gears is a bold strategy but if anyone can do it it's you Nate. I'm still voting for you everyday (that I remember). I'm excited to see this thing built.

[@kmas0n2390]

Its rad for sure. keep the cool 3 link suspensions, throw skinny 31's on it. dual lockers and go with it. Locker stocker

[@jdenmark1287]

Owned land rovers for decades and good choice for the one you got.

[@alans585]

The way you approach building makes it feel super accessible. Every time I think of selling my 85 K5 I see your stuff and think, “no I could build something cool with it”

[@chrismccotter5351]

Big congrats on that first archery deer Nate! Glad to see you including the family on the processing. That is awesome! Oh... And sweet new build as well.

[@LandRoverDrive]

Hehe, "Don't do this at home" , I don't think I could have helped my self either. 😅 Just some AT fun fact from Norway. :) Arctic Trucks in Norway are made with either 33", 35" or- 37" and based on either Izuzu D-Max, Toyoyta HiLux, Toyota Land Cruiser (Prado), Nissan Navara or VW Amarok. You can get the HiLux mk6 with 38" as a special build. They stopped making this tire so AT got it made them self, so it's now call the AT 405 tire, same tire used on the Top-Gear North Pole special. Dimension is: 38″x15.50 R15 Love the content and the creative side of the fabrication you do, a true inspiration! Thanks and best, Simon 🇳🇴

[@jeepindave5464]

Atleast you and Rudy can grab a spot of tea

[@IdExplorMor]

That'll look awesome. It's nice Ian and onX are letting you switch up... hopefully the other builders are cool with it. It'll be cool to see this on those snow tires you're talking about.

[@searchBLOC941]

Glad you're back! I'm constantly checking to see if you've uploaded. Loving the content brother.

[@DirtLifestyle]

That means alot bro 👊. Thank you!

[@searchBLOC941]

@DirtLifestyle such a sweet build. I'm stoked about the J truck not being rushed into four wheel drive. My only question is; motor plans for the SnoBro? I can't imagine keeping it completely stock due to the age and years of neglect.

[@hawkie333]

Glad you went with the sliders to protect that classic body! Also glad the deer weren’t put off by your conversation about wheel choices 🤣

[@richardcaudillo1108]

DUDE, you just keep on amazing me with your content. Excellent job.

[@SandiHall]

I am wheeling a 65 series 2a on 40's. 3 link front and 4 link rear. Love the build

[@rwalsh5714]

Where can I see pics of your set up??? Plus what motor tranny combo did you use?? Trying to prep for mine!!! Thx

[@yjsaabman]

The genuine reaction makes for great content! I can completely understand the need to pivot. I expected a little more reinforcement/plating of the frame, if it's so thin. Loving the build thus far. I'm glad you had this and the powers-that-be were willing to allow it.

[@stephengallina1774]

So excited for this change in direction on the OnX build! Of course I’m still looking forward to Dirt Reynolds being completed but this build will stand out in the challenge. Keep up the great work!

[@joshhowell8654]

Absolutely awesome rig. And congratulations on your first Bow harvest. It's not an easy feat. Well done on teaching your kids to do it for the right reasons.

[@Ligoweez]

Nate, this land Rover is SICK!!!

[@CTMadModz]

Nate, drag that rig up to Alaska and I’ll bring you to that glacier that I parked my samurai on. 🤩

[@mat2ca578]

Like the change to the Rover build and I think it really meets the intention of the ONX Build. Build a capable, dependable rig and get out there and have fun. Really looking forward to this build. Would like to see the front axle maybe 1.5" to 2" forward. Will stay tuned for the J10 build.

[@PCC_in_the_field]

Yes, those are factory limit straps. I had them on my 88” Series 2A.

[@beefeeb]

Would be sick to see this rig in Iceland one day!

[@charleytodd5792]

Now I’m super stoked about both builds!

[@karlnylund3349]

Fun to watch! Cool ideas out there for kicked up factory look front bumper that works with winch.

[@Earlywinters09]

I like everything about this build.

[@StormbornJKU]

I would absolutely love to be able to just build and build and build like you get to do everyday. Of course you’ve worked for years to be able to get to the point that you’re at. I’m not discrediting anything you’ve done to get here. But it’s so wild how you worked for weeks on the Jeep truck and then just change gears out of nowhere to start building another vehicle. So wild but also very cool.

[@TheDefenderSisu]

So cool to see a defender in your shop.

[@frankmcgoldrick4014]

Awesome! Green Ovals rule! And yes.... it is a factory limit strap.

[@ricoolivier]

As long as one bolt remains of the original LR the spirit will be right there! Thanks for letting this one live the life it was yearning for!

[@christopherthompson4359]

Part of my childhood was helping dad process the deer. As far as the switch in vehicles, I approve of the swap.

[@TrailDrivenOff-Road]

Can't wait to see this one out in some PNW snow!

[@neilwainwright1455]

Also put a rubber football inside the coil springs and inflate slightly as a internal bump stop and the suspension will be so much better

[@JonnieB.]

I’m a little sad to wait to see the J10 finished, but glad it won’t be rushed. This rover is going to be awesome

[@photog1529]

I've always liked those old-school Land Rovers...you just can't beat that classic body style.

[@WeBleedGreen1]

I love series that are like "we don't have time to finish this build, let's start a new one!" Also. The way that is sitting is very proactive. I love the short narrow but tall chunky builds

[@PaulBrown-v9u]

dirt lifestyle, yes they are the factory canvas axle limit straps. saves tearing the eyelets off of the shocks.

[@evloftis4143]

i think it needs the Cummins 2.8l would be nice in that rig

[@DirtLifestyle]

Agreed! That would be a pretty sweet upgrade.

[@evloftis4143]

[@markburton8303]

[@blastworksllc]

The limit straps are factory. I had a ‘62 Series IIA. Left it stock. Awesome vehicle and tough as hell. Rode like hell too😂.

[@Will_Brock]

I am so stoked for this, I think the Rover will be amazing to see for this challenge while ensuring you don't have to rush and can dedicate the time needed to finish the J Truck properly.

[@speeddemon2008]

When I saw you using a laser on a previous build I immediately ordered one on Amazon. Got one that does full 360 on all 3 axis. This has helped my layout some of the front suspension on my 71 Datsun 510. And eventually I'll get to the rear axle, and I'm sure it will help there too! Such a good tip.

[@jasonhill390]

I wanna say I saw this one coming. I’m all for it dude. Crossing my fingers you’ll be ready when the time comes. Can’t wait to see it! Congrats on bringing home dinner for the family

[@j-ro]

Yup, limit straps are factory. Build is looking good! Good call on the sliders!

[@HitokiriRaiden]

Love the build thats the kinda builds that interest me. And nothing better than a walk in the woods hunting even if you dont get anything its still a great way to clear your head and think about things.

[@jereamyday8999]

Looks like a special edition hot wheels car! Keep up the great work!!

[@hodad200]

This is awesome! Sometimes we don’t realize the best way to move forward is to just throw everything out and start over. Good move on the change in trucks. Looking forward to seeing the results!

[@mrjohnsonclarke]

Hey, so I found your channel years ago because of your D2 mods and my corresponding interest in Land Rovers. But then this build! Man, this thing is RAD!

[@cadillacdan3404]

For the rock sliders maybe do some rectangle tube with 45s cut on each end simple but a little modern look

[@westernwanderer8397]

Looks like a Tonka toy with those tires on. Very cool!

[@MTJ1986]

That looks fantastic! Bet it will be fun to drive too! And with the jeep truck now on the back burner you will have time to finish it as you would like to do.

[@paulnewton943]

Layshaft! You need to address this weakness before you go or it will finish your fun, but I love it and I wish you guys over there would hot these things up more. Can't wait for the next video. Soon I hope

[@kevinmoss970]

Yup. Limit straps standard. They normally rot off. Been looking forward to this build. I know you always build your own bumpers. But Pangolin4x4 do an off the shelf 8274 compatible front bumper.

[@junkyardsearcher6407]

I think it’s awesome that you’re teaching your kids that food is placed on this earth for us to eat, and that we don’t have to see a middle man to get tasty food.

[@Thexkidd]

What a giggle from your daughter. Perfect.

[@BsDirtlife]

I love how this channel has a build that for anyone and everyone to be honest.

[@mafffmafff2354]

They look like front springs but can be used for heavy duty rear. It looks sweet from this side the pond lol. I'm so glad you saved her

[@davidanderson3999]

Great build, I remember my first dear 40 some years ago, I did the same process the whole thing myself, we made the heart the night wile cutting the rest up

[@raychilcote5558]

For the rear driveshaft, point the axle pinion at the transfer case. Then use a CV joint at the transfer case end. Effectively halfs the universal angle.

[@brihno360]

I like it. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!

[@seib6324]

That looks awesome I think you made the right choice by going to the rover
