Twin Locked Land Rovers Battle @ Appin Classic Rangie vs Disco 1

[@bobbyshaftoe]

What a great vid of the crawling ability of these well equipped but totally streetable landys.

Le D1 est incroyable, le Range, lui, est juste fantastique! Bravo les gars.

[@kevinpalmer3770]

I'm so glad I own a white discovery 1! I want that exhaust system. Sounds mean as hell! I have owned many Landrovers including a 67 S2a 88" and a late 89 RRC. another discovery 1 and I currently own a Fuqi... probably the only one in the USA!

[@glendavis9881]

Good to see a Range Rover Classic tackling this type of terrain. Well done guys. Nice video.

[@lror]

Glen Davis Thanks for watching 👍

[@BIMMERZEITT]

Love that classic rover. Very nice!

[@lror]

+BIMMER ZEIT They are such a good car. Hope to one day own one myself.

[@blueskymut]

Love that V8 sound!

[@Aliens_Gonna_Get_Ya]

Gotta luv the old Rangies.....!

[@jdenmark1287]

Sweet you put the Isuzu into the RR, best motor in my opinion for Land Rovers

[@lror]

Agreed

[@audiofree2153]

That's impressive! Nice job guys!

[@lror]

+Kirvi Music Thanks mate 👍

[@scottriggs2592]

great video guys!!!!!!!!!

[@PyrateMickey]

The snorkel on the D1 where did you get thr pillar mounts? that's awesoms

[@lror]

Thanks man i like it too. I actually made it from a couple of pieces of exhaust pipe. It runs between the inner and outer guard/panel and comes out the pillar. Tight squeeze in there but no snorkel sitting on the outside of the guard 👌

[@lror]

Oh and the pillar mounts are just a couple of brackets bolted onto the inside and welded onto the pipe in place.

[@ramial-saifi8045]

Good job! You guys made it look easy!

nice offroad vid

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a comment 👍

Man that Rover V8 sounds 👌

[@lror]

John Smith Thanks mate.

[@jimmiller4667]

Yeah, that little Buick sounds good

[@axewell2037]

Maybe i should join you guys next time and show you how it's done! I live close by - I love taking my d2 on that track

axe well You are welcome to join us on any of our trips mate. Just flick me a message when your free and we can organise it.

Nice driving there gents

Thank you sir 👍

awesome video!

Like tractors those things. Beasts

[@raymondlogister6828]

good driving both. nice video. wich size are the Toyo open country MTon the disco 1? 33?

[@lror]

Raymond Logister Thanks for watching. The disco is running 35s atm.

[@raymondlogister6828]

in older video you drive at Bf good rich mt. Are the Toyo open country Mt better then the Bf good rich Mt?

[@lror]

Raymond Logister In terms of off road they are about the same however i need to air the toyos down more due to the stronger side walls. I do find the toyos are less precise and more vague than the km2s but thats probably because they are wider.

[@samftr]

Oh, subscribed! Love the driving, plenty of mechanical sympathy which is often lacking on some of the offroad videos around Love the note on the D1 and how good is the isuzu powered range Rover? Is it the 4bt1 engine?

[@lror]

+samftr Thanks mate, yes we try to be as gentle as possible yet some obstacles demand a little more throttle. Yes you are correct that the rangie is powered by a 4bd1-t motor and is almost unstoppable.

[@samftr]

LROR Land Rovers Off Road was it easily engineered? I know the army had them in the perenti and land rovers, would be cool in a disco

[@lror]

Definitely be awesome in a Disco. Probably a lot of mods on the trans tunnel would be needed if going with the reliable LT95.

[@Doctoberfest]

There's a gent that did that here in the states. Really nice set up, but he finished the build and then solid almost immediately.

[@lror]

Doctoberfest598 That seems to happen often. Sometimes its the journey and process of building the car more so than the end result that gives people pleasure.

[@doctoromnom]

what's the lift on the disco? also what did you need to do to fit those 35s?

[@lror]

Ryan Pallas 3inch lift. Some cutting and hammering was required to make them fit and bump stops accordingly.

[@adventuresofjake2553]

LROR Land Rovers Off Road what have you done to the disco arches, they have obviously been cut back but what have you got around them

[@nickcraig5875]

Literally tanks😍

[@lror]

You're welcome, thanks for watching 👍

[@bobbyshaftoe]

These would be triple-locked, rather than twin-locked, wouldn't they?

[@SuperScout77]

what exhaust system are you running on the discovery?

[@afk1448]

probably de cat pipe or maybe a muffler removal

[@sebastiantaylor9188]

love this video!, continue to watch it all the time. is the range rover powered by a 4bd1 as it seems pretty quiet compared to others ?

[@lror]

Yep it sure is.

[@spencerrunkvist7775]

what wheels are they running on the disco?

[@lror]

Dynamics neg 25 offset.

[@michaelcarey299]

Well the Range Rover is the best looking car by a long way, any agree/ disagree?

[@lror]

Methinks cant beat a classic 👍

[@doncarlo5]

the 2 door Range is an ICON , by far one of the most well proportioned of all 4x4 's ! If not THE best looking AND more capable ! ( as long as you do not grow too big in wheel size). It's like the Supemarine Spitfire ... ICONS are ICONS

[@levisalvini4110]

Legendary good look... She will always remain a beautiful girl!!!

[@VanLifeWithMuzz]

Anyone know the suspension specs on that rangie? I have the exact same rangie at home it's nearly ready for rego I want to beef up the tyres and suspension but I'm assuming it's got a 2" lift and 33's? And assuming it has lockers if anyone can tell me that would be good and maybe prices on a 2"-3" lift for one?

[@lror]

Lachlan Smith Hard to say prices that depends where you are in the world. Overall you are correct it has 2 inch lift.

[@toddpalmer3507]

I've got a Jeep LJ and now I want my daily to be a Disco 1

[@lror]

Todd Palmer They are definitely fun on and off road.

[@gordonjcp]

Oh man, it's so dry, not a drop of mud! You guys have it so easy :-D

[@lror]

gordonjcp In the wet some of those sections would become even more interesting thats for sure. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍

[@hugooakey2245]

how bigs the lift on the disco

[@lror]

3inch lift

[@franciscopereiradasilva5543]

what were the major mods to the RRC? nice vid!

[@lror]

Its twin locked with the Isuzu 4bd1t and lt95 box. 2 inch lift and now running 33inch mud tyres.

Appin NSW Australia

@@lror ohhh ... all righty !

[@jackgarrett114]

is the v8 a petrol and gas?

[@lror]

jack garrett The D1 v8 is petrol.

[@jromesmith968]

Is the range rover an auto

[@lror]

jrome smith Manual, guess the torque from the isuzu power plant lets it idle and look like its behaving like an auto.

[@rogerwenzel8126]

[@danzeman4520]

Is that the 3.5 or 3.9? I had a '93 Disco 3.5 so gutless! Yours sounds pretty tough

[@lror]

Dan Zeman Its a 3.5 definitely not the most powerful thing out there but does ok.

[@richoz27]

I guess appin isn't closed anymore

[@lror]

richoz27 Yea the gates has been open for over a year now.

[@petersajkic6749]

Technically not.

[@chungteng1972]

Just curious why people called discovery as disco?

[@lror]

+Yisrā'el Yaʿakov Not sure but maybe cause of all the lights.

[@davidisdivad]

Yisrā'el Yaʿakov people call me David but my friends call me Dave.

[@nicholasklapsogiannis5763]

Mad, did it easy

[@lror]

Nicholas Klapsogiannis Thanks man 👍

[@aaronjohnmaughan]

Disco driver needs to work on getting and keeping momentum.

[@lror]

+Aaron Maughan Shows the difference between the isuzu motor just able to idle while the rover petrol needs a lot of revs to keep momentum.

[@oliviermosset7431]

[@Ronhickmott]

I like the way the rangie gets along on at's, the disco seems to have to do a lot of reving to get anywhere. It may be the low ratio he's running.

[@lror]

Spot on about the low ratios and higher revving on the D1. The 4bd1t motor on the rangie gives it low down torque which is fantastic for this sort of stuff. Thanks for dropping by 👍

[@Ronhickmott]

@@lror the military motor didn't occur to me, I thought it must have been the very rare straight six diesel Range Rover.

[@lror]

@@Ronhickmott apparently the 4bd1t was original from factory. As the story goes the initial owner worked in converting the 110s into perenties for land rover. Wanting to buy a new rangie he managed to get land rover to agree to fit the isuzu or something to that effect.
