This thing is HUGE! Arctic Land Rover Build episode 3

[@dannyv2335]

That thing is fricken sick. Can’t wait to see it in action

[@DirtLifestyle]

Dude me too! Hopefully next week!

[@TheShooter466]

Hurry up snow!

[@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports]

Right!!

[@jamiethomas8975]

Gotta be one of my favorite channels to watch these days and for the past few years. Great stuff man

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you!

[@ashersurdu9967]

I love that you never let the weight of the competition dictate your choices. There is not gonna be a single flake of snow in the challenge, but you want a snow truck and gosh darn it you're gonna put that winch in the back and make it a snow truck. Beautiful.

[@PaulBrown-v9u]

do not run a Land Rover turbo diesel engine on a oil bath filter. it can suck the oil up and run away. don't ask me how I know.

[@RadDadisRad]

Correct

[@DirtLifestyle]

I didn't even consider this. Great advice 👍

[@TripleXclown]

Came here to say this.. 😂

[@LukeEdward]

That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking!

[@KCampen1986]

Install a positive air shut off before the turbo just incase it tries to run away. All diesels should have positive air shut offs.

[@PaulBrown-v9u]

p38 steering box pitman arms do not point straight ahead when the steering is in the straight ahead position. there is a plastic pointer on the input shaft the lines up with a groove on the box at the 9 o'clock position. loving this build as it very similar to my series 2a 88

[@DirtLifestyle]

This is GREAT info. Thank you!

[@dustinsnider1646]

I built my 8.8 using your gearing videos. Everything worked perfectly!! I feel confident building axles now thanks to your teachings!!

[@keithrushforth4019]

As a UK viewer I'm loving this build. Can't wait to see how it performs.

[@TheMarshallReed]

There is absolutely no better feeling than watching old Dirt Lifestyle videos trying to fill a void and then boom. New episode, just makes my day.

[@gertroos8946]

Your Landy has a Tropical Roof. Super cool and cool. Landy is looking super cool. From South Africa 🍻

[@TheOffroadCamper]

I’m glad that you made the vehicle choice change and I really like that rig, and I can tell from the smile on your face that you’re gonna enjoy using it.

[@DirtLifestyle]

I get butterfly's just staring at this thing 😁... such a cool classic.

[@bwofficial1776]

This is turning into an awesome build. These old Land Rovers have the rollover protection of a Radio Flyer wagon so I'm sure you're going to build an awesome roll cage at some point. Your theory of weight distribution is interesting and makes sense.

[@kylancook3477]

Nate, for the panhard bracket you could add a bolt on brace that uses the same holes as the gearbox, that ways its removable, yet adds the strength to make you comfortable

[@DirtLifestyle]

This is exactly what I came up with! I hope I have time to build it this week but the plan is to have a unbolt-able brace that will go around the steering box 👍

[@auldman]

I was confused how the panhard bracket and gearbox shared the same location. Then, when Nate stated the “steering box” it made sense.

[@HighPlainsMedic]

We were on a 3 month adventure and just got back a month ago and getting caught up.. I think your skills are top notch... I voted for you just now.. looking forward to the build end and have enjoyed your videos for the last 2 1/2 years.. wishing you the best

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you! I hope you had fun on your trip!

[@DuaneCaldwell]

Get her done, Nate! We'll enjoy the first drive video.

[@dogpotter]

Thank for sharing I really enjoy watch the fabrication . you've done an excellent job. I hope it meets your expectations good luck

[@beadblaster9508]

For air filters just look at what the trophy trucks use. UMP housing with donaldson filters. Your filter almost looks like a Donaldson. By far the coolest build. You are the best off road fabricator out there.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Much appreciated 👏 thank you for the kind words

[@mathewmay5361]

The Landy looks amazing, good luck for the last stretch

[@Solvefunction]

So much is getting done. Keep it up almost there

[@DRDE_CUSTOMS]

I've been voting for you all along man you're killing it keep up the hard work.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you so much for the support! If you ever see me at an event come say high and let me know you were voting for me. I will hook you up 👊

[@DRDE_CUSTOMS]

@@DirtLifestyle right on hopefully see you out on the trail sometime. I live in the center of the idaho BDR maybe catch you on that run in the future.

[@aaronscott2278]

Keep up the amazing content can’t wait tell the day I can afford to do a build been grinding hard slowly but surely shout out from Western Wa

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thanks man! Keep grinding 💪. I had many years of grinding to get to a point where I could build what I wanted. You will get there

[@PavementOptional]

That thing is super cool. Looks Great

[@asdfjkl426]

Cool build. The looks are freaking awesome!

[@austinskidgel2690]

This thing is sick!! I absolutely love the gladiator and have bugged you in the past to do something with it, but this is seriously a dream build too and makes me want one so bad. Good work!!!

[@e.c.8668]

man, that looks good. I like it with the top off...but it looks really good with the top on, too.

[@KC-7mm]

I really enjoy these longer videos. Love the build I can’t wait to see it in the snow, it’s gonna be a cool rig.

[@MasterfulStu]

We want to see it run to! Like the content, as always. Voting for you.

[@Ryan_Tidwell]

Ok Nate, you got one vote. Mostly for all the times you said hump hose. Lol. This rig is looking pretty awesome. I don't know whats going on suspension wise right now but it was cool to see the whole body roll when the engine revved.

[@johnwebb8395]

I really have enjoyed Your video’s on this build! If You release Your inner Slasher, You will get to Arizona! Thank You!

[@DirtLifestyle]

It's crunch time. Let's do this 💪

[@lukethompson5885]

The Land Rover 101 forward control had a cool PTO driven winch that could pull from the front or back. It basically runs the cable to the back bumper through a block and back out the front, so you can pull the cable out the front or pull the loop out the back of the rig for a double line pull. I saw one a long time ago and thought it was a cool concept but can’t really find any good pics or videos of the full setup. You mounting the winch in the back reminded me of it and might be a cool idea to be able to utilize the single mounted winch out the front or back

[@iamblaineful]

The J was gonna be cool, but I absolutely LOVE the Rover. Its small, it's diesel, the top comes off, it's got awesome axles, I can't but help to love it.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Both are going to compliment each other VERY well. If I saw that truck filling up at a gas station while towing that rover I would have to go talk to the owner!

[@ben2687]

"WE WERE INVERTED." Cracked me me. Great video and build as always man. Love you attention to detail and QUALITY design. I hope you win.

[@terrynewman8783]

Fantastic work mate, you are a magician when it comes to making things work.

[@jordansvc]

Seeing the tires on that thing just makes it look that much better! I'm stoked to see it wheel!

[@andrewhowton1961]

A tip regarding Series Rover oil baths and deep wading. If a cloud of blue smoke comes out of your exhaust while wading shut the engine down right away, the air filter is filling with water and it is displacing oil into the intake. Treat it as an early warning.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Great tip 👍

[@Joe-hz1nw]

It looks like some sort of cartoon/Tonka truck - awesome.

[@One_mole_worth]

Vote casted. Thank you for doing rover content. I love it so much, I've watched every land rover video you've done and now have a LS swapped land rover because of this channel. Looking forward to your snow vids with this beast.

[@brandoninaz]

I love seeing this thing coming together!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thanks dude!!! Me too. It's such a cool, classic, 4x4

[@FatGreenSheep]

I really didn’t think I would like this thing. Now I’m in love with it and want to build my own.

[@Adrian-rn1ym]

Amazing work, Loving all the videos . Keep it up sir

[@rotards3036]

can't wait to see the final form for snow, i loved every snow related video this channel has.

[@jkcole3410]

It’s too bad that you were running out of time. You’re one of the KZbin channels. It does a great job of showing everything that you do. Good luck to you this week and in Arizona.

[@freeidaho-videos]

Portals, hell yes. I have been a fan of portals since I saw my first set on Pirate4x4 way way back when.

[@DirtLifestyle]

I've got a BIG portal video planned for next month! Cheapest options all the way to the most expensive. It's going to be sweet

[@iankovac1878]

​@@DirtLifestyle That is so sick. I want some so bad for my 83 toyota pickup, nobody probably makes any, but the dream is real :)

[@tylerbuhite5432]

Id love to see longer content like this more often, but hey ill take it anyway i can! Appreciate the high quality super satisfying content that hits the spot like no other off road channel does. Appreciate ya Nate and family !

[@RileyLawrence8]

I love old land rovers! Its such a shame you don't see more people modding them in this way, it looks sick!

[@keithbishop4656]

Can’t wait to hear Alexia announce “ your Hump hose has arrived “ the look on my wife’s face will be great!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Lol amazing 👏

[@tomandhistruck]

Heck yeah!!! This thing is going to be so rad! I'm amped to see it in action!

[@shanemedbery8199]

Love the build! Can’t wait to see it out in the wild!!! …hi to Nick(fellow Delica owner) ✌️

[@phillippearce9680]

Looks awesome! Well done!!👍

[@Inverted_Driving]

Voted! I have felt every bit of pain you have come across building this rig. It's part of the same reason that took me 3 years to build my Defender 110 with similar modifications. I would still trade my rig for yours instantly lol. Love these videos man, its also the channel that has probably motivated me the most over the years to just get s*** done one way or another. Thanks for all the knowledge and setting a good example to building capable and safe rigs.

[@TJuvis]

Looks awesome man. I live in Finland and we have an Arctic Trucks shop just 15mins away from where I live. I still remember when I saw a Toyota Hilux built by Arctic Trucks for the first time in my life. It was out of this world. Nowadays they're alot more common here, but much more tamer than the "genuine" AT44 that I saw like 15-20 years ago. I really hope the build goes well, take care man.

[@dwightvoeks9970]

These videos are fantastic. Keep up the hard work. It's coming along nicely. Grind it out

[@sherylryan7038]

In Australia they cut radiator cross member fit a heavy angle and move radiator forward to clearance fan works a treat just as strong great work

[@PaulKaiser42]

Looks so great Nate!! Can’t wait to see you pilot her 👊🏻👊🏻

[@RyanBennett_Gpd605]

Voted! Love all the rigs you build and can't wait til this one is done!

[@tictaxy]

I would love you see you and your samurai on a "fun" run with Rory from Trailmater. You two are some of the best off road drivers I have ever seen on YT.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Dude that would be so fun. I've known Rory for along time but we haven't ever wheeled together. Maybe Easter jeep safari this year 😁

[@jdenmark1287]

Looks great Nate! Good luck on your competition 🤙🏻

[@m721ac]

I salute you for your resilience and enthusiasm. Because Its never over in a land rover...😂😅😂😅😂

[@brianmarkel2072]

Straight up impressive!

[@jonastoigodesouza222]

Bro, I think I'm more anxious than you in this project 😂. Awesome looks, crazy tires. Waiting next video.

[@GLR6_]

Great video Nate I truest hope you win this thing. If not Holly should. Loving this Bulid looked forward to it each Sunday thank you Nate

[@AdventuresOfRogersAndHenderson]

My wife and I also love “Alone”

[@Warbyfett]

You the man Nate keep it up !

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you for the positive comment brother 🙌

[@TamiyaRunner]

The background music you are using at 32:30 is SO GOOD! its such a vibe and i love it

[@Billrovid]

Nate push through my guy. While we all appreciate seeing what you are doing just focus on what you need to make it there in time. We can catch up. Youll have my vote no matter what my guy.

[@jiggyquinn5635]

Thank you Nate, excellent adventure!

[@xozindustries7451]

Great progress guys!

[@aarontena]

Im an adult and Im ashamed to have laughed at the words stiff hump hose Great video as always! Im loving the look of the landy

[@DirtLifestyle]

😆. I'm glad I'm not the only man child in the shop...

[@jaredboballen68]

Bruh... I have been wheeling and watching wheeling videos for many years, and your work is meticulous, beautiful and super-stud strong. I am thoroughly impressed, as a fabricator/mechanic/professional driver, and I would simply LOVE to see you in the Flathead valley for some SERIOUS snow wheeling. (I will feed you slow-roasted buffalo hump stew, if that helps...) 😁 Absolutely LOVE this build, btw. If I could afford ONX, I would vote for you...

[@DirtLifestyle]

Shoot me an email. [e-mail] My great grandparent's homestead was in Polson back before the dam was built! I've been going to polson twice a year for pretty much my entire life. Hitting so deep powder with you out there would be great 👍. And Buffalo stew sounds bad ass 😁

[@MrGrant440]

What a beast!!! Great work!!

[@darrenmackenzie1645]

What a beautiful looking rig this is at the present and it will be in the future.

[@holdthatdown6695]

Do what you do Nate. We will be here.

[@juliekesler8035]

great build as always

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank yoh!

[@DirtLifestyle]

I mean you... thank you 😁

[@sas86toy]

Looks so awesome

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thanks dude, I'm kinda in love with it! Definitely a head turner!

[@harris_music]

Bros attention to detail is so crazy. People out here eyeballin' shit and doing crazy things with their projects still...but your builds are another level

[@joshuacook1977]

Mount both winches in the back run one line through the chassis to the front for a front wind. Then you also get a little more of rear end weight.

[@idahoxj]

Land Rover looks b.a. Nate. Best of luck in AZ!

[@Fparrish]

Dude this is way cool. Makes me think I should sling 80 series axles and link my Series 109 Land Rover 👌🏼

[@btakin8737]

FYI these are my favorite type videos that you do!

[@SuburbanK2500]

Voted again for ya again today, keep it up.

[@DirtLifestyle]

You rock 🙌 i can't thank you enough

[@originalname9999]

Marlin Crawler is awesome company. Marlin Czajkowski (RIP) who founded the company did it out of love for the Toyota and off roading and gave us so much while being an amazing steward of our pastime.

[@ryridesmotox]

That thing looks badass.

[@justinkostelecky6201]

I’m so jacked to see this thing plowing snow with that grill! 🤘

[@BlackHawk295]

Man that thing is badass! It looks like a toy on those tires

[@8leach]

man nate, ngl at first, i was a bit disappointed when u switched up vehicles mid challenge. i thought u were taking the easy way out, but now i see the vision. ur gonna have 2 more tremendously capable rigs in the fleet that have both been so sick to watch u build!

[@jbuck3592]

Man U always amaze me with your builds. This things amazing bro can’t wait to see what it does with ONX and snow 👌

[@JeepTJay6]

24:50 Reminds me of Biker Buildoff back in the day. I feel the stress just watching it. I can only imagine the level of stress you are under.

[@PNW_Rodeo]

I think if you run 1/4" gusset from the top of your front track bar mount and tie it into the coil bucket you'll gain a ton of strength. Awesome job on this thing, Nate and Nick! Such a unique build.

[@hotshtsr20]

I was thinking use the steering box bolts to anchor a brace for the track bar. Either way, there’s options, they just have to be bolted on.

[@PNW_Rodeo]

@hotshtsr20 That would be a nice option as well. I believe his mount, and coil bucket are welded on. A nice strip of 1/4" coming off the top of the mount and reaching up to the bucket side gussets would look slick. Add a couple holes in it for decoration and 🤌

[@freeidaho-videos]

Love the look without the fender flares.

[@viking.adventures]

hey man. I live somewhat local and more then happy to give ya another set of hands behind the scenes to help out.

[@h.h.legacydiesel6724]

Great content, you are a teacher 😮, this thing just looks cool, GO GE-TEM. Look forward to seeing you push this build. Have Fun. ✌🏻🧡 🇨🇦.

[@michaelhernandez2106]

OH my lord she is alive 😮 she is looking so good 😊👍

[@viking7256]

This maybe a little late for you this trip but.. I have set up tow hitch's on the front and back. Then fabricate a mount for the winch to go in the hitch. I then used Anderson plugs for power.

[@autocrossratrod]

Love it sir!

[@DnDSeekingAdventure]

I voted! Put you at 10,250! 🤘😎

[@JamesPITCHFORD-h9s]

Nate the rust converter primer works excellent. It is a “moisture cure” paint. Meaning it sucks every molecule of h2o up as the paint dries. Rust must have moisture to happen, the product takes that away. An oil film does the same thing. However no paint product works over a dirty oily substrate. So clean with wax and grease remover brake clean whatever. Go ahead and wash part if you like, then rust convert. I love POR-15 myself. READ THE LABEL! Most of these conversion products require TOPCOAT ING! So spray your converter, most of these products turn black. Wait hour or so then rattle can or spray with your favorite topcoat. I have cars I sprayed with rust converter then painted with sealer, base, clear PPG over 30 years ago and they still look great.

[@PitFighter2007]

I recommend watching a youtube series by Roothy on his Land Rover "Milo 2" build. Has some good stuff in it!!

[@chopperchuck]

that's cool as fuck

[@DirtLifestyle]

Couldn't have said it better myself 😎

[@calebberglund53]

this thing is super rad also, you should point out that fact that viewers can vote after every upload. If I knew this sooner I would've been able to do it more

[@novaeverything4020]

Love these videos! Live in the PNW can't wait to go wheeling

[@scooterprint]

I see Nate post, I click.
