Awesome build man. Thanks for the info, hopefully we'll see each other at the mudhole or the mountains. As soon as I get mine I will share my vids with you all.
I completely agree with your thoughts about the Discovery, it annoys me to hear anyone say the Discovery is unreliable. Hope you don't mind me adding my comment about my experiences with these vehilces, a bit long but I want to see the D1 and D2 on the roads for years to come so maybe anyone considering buying or that is having concerns about a Disco will read my comment.
My Disco 2 I bought new 17 years ago which was my 2nd Discovery, my first Disco I also bought from new which I drove daily for 6 years before trading it in on my 2002 D2. Never had a head gasket issue in either, no cylinder slippage or overheating issues other than 3 years ago when my D2 overflow/reserve tank had the smaller hose nipple crack and break off. The temp warning light and gauge showed that it was overheating while I was driving threw the mountains, had a few tools and extra antifreeze with me and some epoxy glue so I repaired it temporarily and drove 2 more hours to the next cities auto salvage to find a tank but no luck so I continued on for another 6 hours to get home (checking the levels, oil for any discolour and checked for oil or fluid leaks along the head and block). The only problems I had with either the D1 or D2 were not anything that wouldn't happen to any vehicle, the two times I was disabled on the road was once in the D1 when the rear diff broke which was repaired on warranty, the 2nd break down in my D2 where I was disabled was because of the crank position sensor but that was after 14 years of never being stranded because of problems with the vehicle. A week ago I was forced to limp the disco 2 to a garage because the front prop shaft was vibrating then started clattering but that was my negligence since I had already boughten a new improved prop shaft but was too lazy to install it and just kept adding grease which I only could because I had installed grease nipples 5 years earlier and had the stock driveshaft balanced. There are legitimate problems with the Discovery V8 cylinder sleeves but major issues can be avoided with proper maintenance, regular oil changes, paying attention to the engine temp, and having the Head torqued every 50K and should change the bolts to ARP head bolts (nothing cheaper because they will stretch). Putting an inline thermostat is a good idea but it would be also wise to get a better temp gauge that reads the fluid temp that's flowing in the engine. Land Rover could have dealt with the sleeve slippage by retooling since the machining of the block is why the sleeves slip or drop breaking the seal but with preventive maintenance, you can avoid all the problems people have with Land Rovers (Not just Discoveries). Discoveries are actually one of the best vehicles in its category, if not the BEST! They perform off-road better than any other and are very comfortable on the highway or on city streets. Toyota and Isuzu make a comparable vehicle but not equal or the same. Discoveries are in their own class really and I believe had Land Rover stayed with the same format the discovery could have been as iconic as the Defender since, in reality, it is a far better all-around vehicle that is far more refined than any Defender while being as capable if not more so. I don't feel the same about the LR series, Land Rover obviously didn't as well since after the Discovery they no longer did the Camel Trophy (at least not the true version of it, it became a lifestyle adventure game with bicycles, Kayaks and they avoided the extreme terrain they use to drive the Discoveries threw). Don't be afraid to get a Disco, just be sure you know what to look for and take care of it.
Yup! that's its all true men, its been the same with mine! This one was my daily for for around 12 years and Now I used it as a recreative vehicle! She never left me down and I'm still on original head gaskets and Motor with over 250k miles. This motor its been solid reliable.
YOU PEOPLE AND YOUR DISCOVERYS!!!! Lol.... LOVE EM'
Very nicely done. Gave me some ideas for my 99 disco 2
Bruce West Sure! Follow me on Instagram! I’m Britishprecision
I love this rover...I will install the in-line t-stat soon.
Boulder 4x4 Thanks brother!! Bring it to me I will get it right the first time 😬🇬🇧
Good video. I myself I'm driving a Defender (like you: for offroading, but also as a daily driver). I'm looking for a Disco 2 as a daily, to keep the Defender for the weekends.
Really cool.Would like to get one of these and do it up similar.
Nice rig 👍👍👍👍
Nice truck man! Love it!
marty mcmillan thanks!!
Looks good brother
Michael Villalpando Thanks brother!!! 🍻👍🏽
Considering getting Disco 2 2004. I little nervous cause I’m on a fixed income. But you guys make this look simple.
Have at least $10,000 on the side for repairs as parts are also expensive lol
Beautiful!!!!!!!
Derek Jackson Thanks bud!!!! Go watch my lates video! I get stuck in mud 😂🍻🙌🏽✅
Damn dude so these things can be reliable in the right hands.
GhettoMist if you don't mind replacing every gasket as regular maintenance!
I guess you weren't listening and just decided to comment anyway. He has been running this rig on the original head gaskets for 11 years now- because it runs cooler with the in-line thermostat the head gaskets (and others) don't fail. These are terrific vehicles if you address the poorly engineered problems from the BMW team (most of the same problems BMW's are known for since the same team engineered them back when BMW owned Land Rover). Once you fix the known problems once (the right way of course, as he mentions with the Three Amigos) you don't usually have to go in again. But you have to research and do it right. Ask him- he knows.
Keep it dirty baby!!!!! sick video bro keep the good work up
Chauron Jordan thanks bro!!! 🇬🇧
could you do a video or drop a link to information on doing the inline thermostat swap? I'm looking to do that myself on my 01.
I totally want to change over to inline thermostat. Can you make a video on how to and list parts needed to convert?
I second this comment! and if you can can you give an updated fuel economy. ive wanted to switch out the stock engine for that ls conversion that utilized the stock traction control system and cpu. but if this really helps with fuel economy I would hold out on that till it dies
Damn, that's nice. Sadly, here in Oz pretty much every mod you have done is illegal.
Can you do a video on what to look for when buying a LR2. I always loved how they look but never owned one. I only owned FJ80's
Can you do a video on the most reliable years of Land Rover and the common problems or maintenance musts.
JP Oner Any year works, but yes, a video on common issues! I will
Make one pretty soon!!! Thanks for the advice 🍻🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
- on original head gaskets? ..... That is great....not worry about the 3 amigos- just bypass the module . Thanks for info !
what about the diff
what modification did you dit to run normaly with those big tires
Can you tell me more about the hydrogen please, I don't use mine much because of the crapy mileage
How noisy those tires lol. Cool Rig ✌️
To me, they are great men but for some people is just too much, so it really depends on your taste. I used this truck 80/20 20% off road
@@landroverzone9824 Thanks 🙏
The web site is offline... however can you list the mods that you have applied to that sexy disco?
your rig is awesome bruh. could you send me a list of the items that you had done starting with the suspension and onwards.....thanks! i have a 2004 disco and want to make it look like yours. cheers.
Nice Disco! What part of FL you go off road trailing? I'm refurbishing my Disco 2 right now. I want to make a nice setup for touring instead of extreme off-road but your setup makes me want to change plans with it. Lol Keep it up!
Jonathan leblanc Thanks brother!!! I'm not in Florida anymore, I recently moved to Georgia!!!
Seth I got mine from D&D in Michigan.
Fantastic setup. How did you mount those front bumper lights?
The bumper came already with those holes to install lights
Another nice video. You haven't changed the rear driveshaft or ring and pinion?
Christopher Haynes Thanks! Both drive shaft have been replace with toms wood, ring and pinion stock for now! Still running 3:54 gears
Land Rover the best 4x4 by far - Jeremy Clarkson
Hi I noticed you have an oil catch can and closed off the pcv to the intake manifold great job also it looks like it’s routed somewhere?
Yes! They come together from each valve covers into one line that face down top of transmission and rest there
ok. mira a mi disco le puse lift kit de 2' adelante y 3' atras pero no se que patas le quedarian bien con mi rodado 16 que no toque los lados ...
aca en miami le puse poner un motor diesel ahora. gracias brother
Do the tires roar going down the road!!
Hi mate! Looks a really nice disco. Thinking of doing a similar lift myself, 6 inch spring lift. How much cutting did you have to do to fit 37s?
Not much cutting really, just a little trim on the rear doors
Buenos tips en tu video, que marca y donde puedo conseguir el medidor electronico que traes en el tablero gracias yo tengo un 2004 saludos, a y otra pregunta me interesa el termostato que le pusiste a tu disco donde lo consigo
Nice rig mate, can you tell me what are the cables from bumper to yr roof rack for?
Cheers
Those are call limb risers, to protect the windshield from tree branches
How is it possible for the inline to run so cold, if so why didn't Landover fit them with them, or at least tell people who live in warm climates with discovery2s , with regular thermostat they run real warm, already replaced a fan on mine, they run alot.
Where did you get the bumpers, that rear bumper is a really nice design. Do you design and build this stuff yourself? The watts articulation link bracket is also a great idea!
tactical rovers got it.. you should make a list or links to dealers. love it!
davidisdivad Hey bud!! I got the bumpers from TacticalRovers and the rear watt braket I designed it my self!! Thanks for your comment!!!!
I always wondered, what are those wires going from the bumper to the roof rack for?
They are called "limb risers". The purpose for them is when you're on a trail that has branches from trees hanging over the trail, those will guide them up so they don't hit your windshield.
Or bush wires in the UK
How are the bias Trepador tires wearing after some daily driver mileage? Thanks!
jeffery van williams They are doing pretty good actually, rear tires are like 95% new front like 80% after a year! Now the stickiest treps are another story. Those wear ultra fast.
How do these models compare to the LR3 or LR4?
Great content. I'm thinking about getting a 2004 Disco 2 but want to know if these are easy to work on yourself? I've read that changing the spark plugs and coil packs are a bear because they are in the rear close to the firewall? Do I need special tools or diagnostic scanner? Thanks in advance for your response. "keep it dirty" Lol.
Esteban Serrano Hi there brother!! Well, to replace the coils and spark plugs it’s not an imposible task, You can do this job with basic tools! And you may need a scanner just to deleted a posible obd2 code. They are great great trucks in the right hands!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@landroverzone9824 Thank you brother and stay safe! Looking forward to more videos!
Esta muy linda la discovery pana pero con esa 37'' qye tienes un lift kit de 3'.
la medida que tienes es cuanto
en tus tires. saludos gracias
lucho beltran Epale compi! Chamo es un lift de 3.5 pero en realidad como es HD te da como 5 adelante y 3.5 atrás, entonces adelante añadi una pilgada más para tener 6" y atrás añadí 1.5 más y está en 6"
Nice D2 bro, where did you bought the inline termo? And where did you install the hidrógen? Iam Daniel from South America, thanks and cheers!!
Search for inline thermostat housing! That’s it
Hello, do you have a direct link to a step by step instruction on how to do the inline thermostat mod?
Kenneth Embalsado No, sorry! That should be another future video!
What diff gear ratio for the 37" mate ?
Really nice truck . What kind of shocks do you have. .. and if you have part numbers will be awesome....
Also about the Thermostat... I been installing the 2000 jaguar s type 3.0 Thermostat in this cars for a long time . It works way better and cooler than inline Thermostat. Not mention is wat cheaper.... and if you want to make it run cooler install the oem 2008 honda civic hybrid 78' Thermostat.. this way I can promise you you will love it. .... more than 10 disco happy after this upgrade ..... ..
Hey! I’m using Fox 🦊 shocks! 2.0 with 12” of travel all around! Can’t remember the part number but I got them from Lucky8. About my thermostat set up, the in-line thermostat modification puts the whole cooling system to work, by eliminating the 3rd return hose. So now with he in-line mod, the water pump will push 100% coolant into the radiator, not like the other set up that aloud just 50-70% coolant to the radiator. I also went with a full 3row aluminum radiator with much cooling capacity and did the conversion to twin 12” Spal electric fans, now pushing around 5000 cmf all conbines!! Cheers 🥂🇬🇧
Oh, I almost forgot to mention, that I also install an engine oil cooler to keep the bottom end of the engine safe! It will improve engine life!!
Awesome information... thank you so much for your help and keep posting awesome videos .....

Where can I buy a good lift? Got a new disco 2 in great shape and want to start building it for off-road use
RTE Fabrications bro
@@landroverzone9824 the best for the Discovery
What year 2000, can u run it in manual transmission?? My 2002 could not
Graves Conglomerate any disco can be convert Into a 5-speed...
210k on original head gaskets. Damn lucky Rover
Do you have any more information about your inline thermostat? I'd love to do that on mine.
Seth s where are you located?
Oregon, US
How is the on road noise with those tires?
Garth S impressive quite, my old Pitbull are way more noisy
Hello, are those the stock fenders or did you buy them aftermarket? I have a 37 Disco 2 here in Turkey but cant decide on the fenders. And i did 7 cm wheel spacers to get the 37s in how did you fit them with only 1.5 cms? :)
Hey 👋🏽!!! Those are factory fender flares, I trim them a little bit. I’m running a 6” lift on mine with wheel spacers 1.5milimeters. Factory Land Rover wheels!
@@landroverzone9824 Going to try some 1.5 spacers next week ! I have just bought some 37/12.5/18 bfg Km3 Mud tires, maybe they will work. Going to stay with the original fenders as you did, ı love the way your rig looks. Cheers from Turkey !
@@landroverzone9824 Also i would like to ask; what did you do with the radius arms?
Cool. I am going with 37's as well. I am going with GBR 4.73 gears and his rear driveshaft. How can I get in touch with you. I am not too far and go to Chattanooga sometimes.
Christopher Haynes Add on instagram!! Vgreenfit4life !!!
Cayman is 4x4 Landrovers where is the video on hydrogen? Did you use the longer arms on the lift? I am guessing you did?
Christopher Haynes That video is all the way down on my videos!!! 🍻🍻🍻
where did you get the thermostat kit ?
Check D&D Fabrication. I used theirs and worked great. I also bought their cam.
HEY I FOLLOW U ON INSTA! DIDNT KLOW U MADE YT VIDS!!
Hi great video, id really like what you have done with your discovery, it looks awesome, but you may have got your mileage abit wrong there at @4:00 when you say it have done over 210000 miles because the odometer say's 166916 @6:50
Old Hemp Hey Thanks for the comments!! I can explain you! It’s easy, a big wheel count less miles than small wheel, that’s why my speedometer still read 170k when I know I’m at 220 or more
Old Hemp Lol watch my other videos were you can see the scann gauge II reads 70 miles the speedo reads 52 miles per Hr.. And my scann gauge is been set up for 37”s... Another way I can read my speed is by using the GPS
What Hydrogen setup do you have for your gas
Hey! I was using a dry cell with 75 stainless steel plates. That last me around 2 years
What shocks have you got on buddy
foxs 12' of travel
Can you give me a Reference number harp number cation purchase for that and line thermostat I have an 03
She has automatic change?
to put 37 tires, do you change the differential ratio?
rigs offrods no. I just increase the HP
No problem no change?
Do you know what her relationship is? 3.79 or 4.88?
rigs offrods original from Land Rover 3:54 Gears! Original..
ok thx !
The head gasket goes because of insuficient cooling. That is particuraly true with petrol engines but thr 200/300 tfi has the same proablem. 99% of the times the proablem are eather a radiator that lost the thins, a bad placed temp sensor like in the 300tdi
On Wheels the whole problem is the 3-way thermostat... Need to upgrade to inline t-stat to solve it.
Have you driven on highway in snowy condition? If so how are they?
Yes, one day I travel from Florida to DC, we were hit by a snowstorm
@@landroverzone9824 How did it perform?

Tell some more about you headgasket
Official MrBogus Profile original head gaskets, over 250k miles. Still my daily!
Sure, This is the original engine with factory head gaskets. Never over heated so she's one strong Girl!
More HP does not equal more MPG
Yes, it does, if you're not putting your foot in it. By definition an engine producing more horsepower is more efficient = and therefore gets better MPG...
I bet you cant off road that very much. Because when axles articulate the tires are going to rub like crazy. I've got a disco with 6" lift running 33's. Ive tried running 35's and they start rubbing radius arms and other things. So if you say you can off road I want to see you so a trench crossing diagonally letting the axles drop.
Roverman lol well watch my other recently videos, I got plenty material there cross axle stretching to the Max’s 12” of travel all around no problem
Roverman Bring me your disco, I will make some tweaks here and there and you should be able to run those 35” all day long with not issues.
@@landroverzone9824 just watched another video of yours and you are flexing pretty good with those. I dont run factory rims. I have steel rims that have alot of back spacing. I'll get me some factory dimension steel rims and try the 37's. I've got tons of travel on my rover. I'm running a rovertyme 6" lift with corrected arms. So I guess its junkyard search time for steel wheels with factory dimensions. Cool rover you got. Mines in the thumbnail.
@@landroverzone9824 the wheels in my thumbnail I dont use anymore. I dont like the alloy wheels. I like steel ones because they are stronger and I can put headlock rings on them.
My Ford Focus could totally out run this thing in the mud. I put fat tires on it!

Land Rover Zone I think he was joking
GhettoMist Lol who knows!! People always leave weird msgs here Hahahahahaha
Did you do a video on hydrogen Land Rovers?
Christopher Haynes yes
Christopher Haynes That's this truck, still runs on a mixs of hydrogen pretty good saving device
Can you send me some more info on the HHO kit that you setup in this truck? I'd love to look into something like that for my D2... anything to save on fuel costs ;) email is bllackpaladin@gmail.com
06:45 Its not at all surprising you haven't broken a diff yet. Stock gears, on 37 is fine structurally, but is going to hurt your torque. You could get your torque back by changing to a higher gear ratio. Higher ratio gears is when you start breaking diffs. That higher ratio means more teeth on the ring gear, fewer teeth on the pinion making those gear sets weaker than stock. Look on google sometime, side by side comparison of 3.73 vs 4.10 or 4.56 and you'll see what i'm talking about.
Andrew Nitchman totally agree with your comment! I did bump the Hp and torque! I did the electric fan conversion to free at least 20 hp, Also install the headers and deleted the cats and also intstall a High performance cam on it! So she moves pretty good believe it or not! 100mph is not a problem at all. Cheers 🍻🇬🇧
