That Land Rover Series is a beast off-road! 🚙💨 The twin lockers really make a huge difference in its capability on tough terrains. It’s amazing to see how well it performs at the Parkwood Outdoor Center. Thanks for sharing this thrilling off-road adventure - it’s always exciting to watch such powerful machines in action! 👏🌲
Yeah buddy. :D The plan is to keep it on leaves and push them as much as I can. I also have a disco that is running coils so I wanted to build something different.
Cheers buddy :D I might do one in the future when I get an decent camera. the car is a series 2a with a 200tdi without a turbo, disco axles with detroit rear ashcroft locker front and parabolics.
Hi mate! Awesome build I love it! Could you tell me more about it? Have you changed the gear ratio? What tires and tires size are you running? Can’t wait to see more videos, really interesting car!! Cheers
Hi buddy thank you ❤. It has a naturally aspirated 200tdi, with a stock 4 speed and stock transfer case. Also has disco axles on 4.1 Ashcroft gears so it it a bit higher geared compared to stock which is not great for offroading. This will get fixed in the next iteration of the car with something completely out of the norm. Read axle has a Detroit locker and front an Ashcroft air locker. Also has Ashcroft halfshafts and CVs. It also has parabolic springs with military extended shackles. This will also get changed in the near future. Tires are 315/75r16 so technically a 34.5-35 inch and wheels are 0 offset wolfs with 6.5 width. This set-up allows me to lower tire pressure quite a bit.
@StylRatRover Thank you so much, I do own Disco 1, recently bought, your answer will help me a lot when gearing up my car, can't wait to see you posting more vids, cheers!!
@@Raqqqqie mostly depends on tire size. On my disco i have 34/10.5/16 simex tires and that had 4.75 in the diffs and 1.4 transfer box ratio. It is a bit short geared but it only has a 2l petrol engine. Generally my advice would be to be a bit lower geared compared to stock when you go for bigger and heavier tires. Ashcroft has a nice ratio calculator in his website
hello greetings from Pontassieve province of Florence Italy happy new year 2025 may 2025 be better than 2024 which is passing by! (What type of tire do you have for going on snow all Terrain or mud Terrain m + s with snow flake? I have equipped my Suzuki Jimny 4x4 off-road vehicle with a 1.3 LT m13a petrol engine petrol year 2001 with mud Power ziarelli m + s tires with snow flake in size 205-70-15 retreaded I do not use winter tires and in the trunk I have a box of snow chains! and I use my Suzuki Jimny 4x4 off-road going up in the countryside and in the mountains on dirt tracks and forest tracks!)
@@lmalesci hello there, i am using these very cheap comforcers that you see un the video but i have never really tested them in snow. Unfortunately we dont get much in the UK. Ziarelli has very good tires. Most likely i will get his extreme forest model at some point in 9.00/16 size
Great Rover, nice machine. I also have a series 2A with lockers front and rear. It's also very capable. It's build differently than yours: th-cam.com/video/Ohr14Ph-3sU/w-d-xo.html
@StylRatRover Not impolite, some of us value the Series LR to the point of considering it almost sacred in its original form. Things you have apparently done are mutilations, distortions, and near sacrileges.
@StylRatRover "An Englishman's home is his castle" and I guess the same goes for his car. Maybe you enjoy that thing and maybe you are not responsible for all adulterations made, which however, do look abominable to us purists.
@@78a67h Oh, You would hate me even more, though my 1958 series I is far more original and stock appearing than this one. That's mainly because I learned back in the 1990's that coiler axles are actually weaker than leafer axles once I started playing a lot harder than this young man. I live in California and My 1958 series I was built for the USA market and arrived in San Francisco in December 1957. It was run hard up in the Sierra Nevada mountains, doing trails like the Rubicon back in the 1960s, getting "rock rash" on the bodywork, getting rolled over, ect... However, it never had to suffer that horrible UK rust, it still has original black paint on its chassis! And the body still has most of it's original dove grey paint, where the rocks or trees haven't scraped it off !! The 2 litre went bybye decades ago, and a fuel injected 350HP Chevrolet LS V8 barrels it down the interstate highways to its next trail adventure anywhere in the western USA. The old style Chevrolet SM420 four speed box sounds very close to the original, and I did keep the original axles under it, but with my own internal upgrades because I found that the late 24 spline stuff was just too weak for my kind of hard rock wheeling, and don't even get me started on how s**t parabolics are !! I may not agree with all the mods this kid has done, but give him a break !!!

Thank you :)
Had many a happy playdays in here !
It's a good one isn't it? Proper greenlaning vibes. Shame they dont do 4x4 days more often
nice seeing it still running leaves considering alot swap out to coils for this sort of thing
Yeah buddy. :D The plan is to keep it on leaves and push them as much as I can. I also have a disco that is running coils so I wanted to build something different.
Great video! Any chance of a vehicle walkaround with specs/mods ect?
Definitely need this! I love a series off roader!

The off-road super car 🚀🚀🚀
Fastest vehicle ever
Parkside development boys weren't expecting it to walk up that muddy hill 😂
I want not expecting it to walk up that muddy hill either :P It was the first proper outing so I didnt know what to expect

I've never heard it called twin locked
@@chrislewis5069 is has lockers front and rear hence the name :)
So what was the lifesaving mission you were on tearing up the forest floor like that?
Hello kind sir, this is a private offroad center made for this sort of thing. Thanks for looking ☺️
Don't be a knob there's plenty of original landies out there to look at
Cracking machine and used as it should be. Ignore the purists 👍
@@bumbleo8993 cheers buddy :) everyone is entitled to their own opinion i guess

@@cardriven9578 hi, thank you :)
Yours looks very very nice and clean. How do you find the soft top?
Stupid modifications done cutting the fenders, fitting "Recaro" type seats and God knows what else have utterly ruined the vehicle. Heap of crap.
Hi kind, i build this vehicle for me to enjoy and do things i like :) taste is personal but either way i don't think it is nice to be that impolite.

@@78a67hIt was a non runner when i got and already chopped. In my eyes it is better to be on driven as it was intended.
Have a good evening kind Sir
