The LROR videos for the last couple of years certainly back up what you are saying. These guys only seem to do medium and hard trails, and as someone once said on here 'there isn't a lot of medium' 😀
You are welcome and thanks for watching. I will try to find some old photos of the D1 Rossi during her build and put it together with some footage and do a voice over 👍
Thanks for watching, i am glad that you enjoyed it. You are not wrong a lot of hours have gone into it with the goal of making her strong and capable 💪
Never know when you need her 🤣. I would like to see the D2 walk around. Will you be doing other videos like this? I would be interested to see some of the trucks you go out with.
@@roverlord4262 im sure a few of the guys would be interested in doing some walk arounds of their rigs. I could do one of the Disco although the build is not finished.
@@lror That would be great, I would love to see a video of the D2. It would also be fascinating to see one of the old V8 you had. 🤣 As much as we would like to think the modifications and enhancements never end. 😁
@@lror hell yeah man! I like your L322 as well I’ve watched the stuff you’ve taken that car with it’s better traction control and it makes me want one now 😂
You have built her into quite a beast man. I love its old school, utilitarian charm. Love the wheeling videos, but I am a big fan of the technical videos too. More technical / modding videos would be great mixed in with the wheeling videos. Even if they are just short clips, that's fine.
@@lror I'm with John. Don't need much, but Ive been interested in the mods to the Green Tractor ever since I first saw it. Looking forward to the D2 build.
Thank you for the walk around video! I saw the PSC ram in one of the recent videos and was wanting to know how you ended up doing it - thank you so much for sharing!
You're welcome. The hydro assist is a very good mod and im hoping it will protect the steering box. I will try and put together a more specific video just on the steering.
Everything happens in the fullness of time. Yes I have been waiting for this video for awhile. Stunning thought and work gone into this vehicle. Thank-you mate downloaded it for future reference when I modify my Landie. All the best for 2022 with your other rebuilds 🤩👍
Mate thankyou so much for the walk around bloody fantastic .👍 Im a Landy tragic thanks to dad , I got brought home from hospital many many years ago in a Series One landy . I have watched your vids for yonks with passion . I've always wondered what made the beast tick now all the pieces are in place no more wondering . Thanks again look forward to the next instalment .
A video on the adaptation of the salsbry and the front coil overs would be extremely interesting. I've located one out of a rusted out FC 101 just wondering if it would be worth the time, probably in combination with a Detroit stuffed in it. And coilovers aren't something seen on landrovers at all so it's very intriguing, especially with thoughts to cost and effectiveness it'd be great to have a breakdown. You've done a lot to the landrover, it's really insightful to see something done to this level of complexity it almost makes it seem compelling to do, anything you share from it is extremely educational Awesome videos as always, happy new year.
I've got plenty of photos and video clips of both the coilover and dana 60 conversions that i could put together for a video. If people gain some benifit and find these type of videos useful im happy to put them together.
@@lror It's honestly incredible to see, even if you don't own a similar vehicle it's still extremely interesting content. I've waited a few years for this having a bit of a fan girl moment I'm not going to lie haha
Thank you. I have noticed more imports going your way. Some of the companys are doing great work there taking these old units and transforming them into new rigs.
I like your Beast...! I recently bought a really old Defender 90 looking like an old 88... a crazy vehicle with many fixes needed, but a Beast in its DNA as it sows in its firsts off-roads ! Your videos are a continuous inspiration for us.. thanks for sharing !
A really rugged yet effective fourby. You're MaxiTracks are inline with the rest of the build utilising the "KISS" method. Thanks for taking us on the tour of the beast.
Definitely need to catch up mate, always good fun. The motor on the compressor still works but leaks more out the piston than the air line 😂 So in practice it deflates rather than pumps the tyre 🙃
Sylvania Silverstar halogen sealed beams are a good option, I have used them. They light a wider, further path and have a whiter/brighter light. I think the Defender takes part# H6024.

It means us Land Rover enthusiasts are more mechanically curious compared to other brands. I for one would be interested in your build videos as well as your wheeling ones.

Haha please dont remind me about the leaky coilover, it made me miss out on wheeling that weekend.

Im pleased you enjoyed that and i will put something together detailing the main parts of what was needed. You are right the Salisbury is based on a dana 60 so it makes the conversion possible with a little work.
Awesome video man, great to see a full walkthrough of its setup, hopefully catch you out on the tracks soon mate, hope you had a good Christmas and a great new year 👍🏻
Amazing build! Can you help me out? What do I need to do to my discovery 1 front axle to convert it to your Toyota internal type? I’ve been trying to figure this out. Thanks so much!
Hey bud where did you get your ring and pinion from? What was the name of the ring and pinion? Also give us some detail of the 35 spline setup. Is it jack mac stub axles and hubs?
Months later I'm doing a LROR video catchup and I see a walk around on the green tractor, shit hot mate its a great truck. my only surprise is seeing Land Rover-ish stock driveshafts. What about gearing in the gearbox, ya diffs? are they still 3.54? I missed it in the video if you said it. LROR channel great videos, cheers.
Thanks man and welcome back 👍 The transfercase rear output shaft on the lt95 is short making it unable to handle much twist before it fails, so im hoping the stockish driveshafts become the failure/weak point instead. Gearing in box and tc is standard while diffs are 4.10:1 or maybe 4:11, i can never remember 😂 pretty much same same.
Cool as I'm jealousy. Many years ago a mate saved a life with a little fire extinguisher, so since then I carry one you can always build another rig. Try compressed air on your fuel tank. Sometimes works on motorcycles. Cheers libert Gero WA. td5 defender& 1986 hilux
Oh you are absolutely right, plastic and metal can all be replaced but we are not and fragile at best. I actually carry 2 extinguishers that size. The other is in my recovery bag and an arms reach away. Thanks for the tip. I will give compressed air a try when i remove the tank cheers 🍻
Hey Luke hope you and the fam had a good chrisy and new years. Definitely dude im looking at getting out as much as possible this month so be great to see the Coly in action 👍
The front is uprated with a puma shaft which runs bigger unis capable of running at wider angles. I did contemplate going stronger/bigger front and rear but decided on standard. They are somewhat my weak link rather than the output shafts in the transfercase.
Thanks mate, I would love to run crawler gears but none are available for the LT95 unfortunately. Could possibly run an underdrive but even that is not straight forward with an LT95. Box and TC gears are standard, from memory low is 3.32:1 and 1st gear is 4.07:1
@@seanmclellan2370 It would be nice to get 49% reduction on tc ratio that the lt230 can offer but its a lot of work. Id either need to get a different box or cut the lt95 as the box and tc are integral. Finding a different lr box that will sit happily with the torque of the 4bd is debatable.
Its a good box/tc but has its issues. Like the shortish rear output shaft which doesnt allow much twist before it fails and the ratio jump between some gears isnt great.
Happy New Year Evo! Hope you had a cracking Christmas cobber. Your Christmas gift to us was Envy! What a weapon! Any builds you would like to share would be awesome! Being a Queenslander stuck in NSW, i need distractions lol. Great video mate. Cheers for sharing.

They are really good on road in both dry and wet conditions. They are loud but not as loud as one would expect. The soft compound does wear out fast on road though.
XZL's? If so i really like them, shame you cant get them. The treps are great but definitely not value for money if you are doing a lot of blacktop kms/miles.
@@lror Nah, XMLs. Cant find XZLs on a 16 either. My XMLs are 325 x 16, ex Military. Phenomenal off road, not so much on the highway.. Probably have to go to a different rim size. BTW, I'd love to try the OKA out where you go.
@@greebo7857 years ago when i was stepping up the disco from skinny 33s i wanted a set of xzl's in 255/100r16 ( 36.4") they were hard to find as they are an XD tyres reserved for mines and emergency services. Eventually Michelin agreed to sell them to me but at over 800 a corner it's just way too much. I still love skinny tyres and think they can perform better than wide in a lot of ways. Shame there isnt much tall skinnys to choose from.

XZL's? If so i really like them, shame you cant get them. The treps are great but definitely not value for money if you are doing a lot of blacktop kms/miles.
@@lror Nah, XMLs. Cant find XZLs on a 16 either. My XMLs are 325 x 16, ex Military. Phenomenal off road, not so much on the highway.. Probably have to go to a different rim size.
BTW, I'd love to try the OKA out where you go.
@@greebo7857 years ago when i was stepping up the disco from skinny 33s i wanted a set of xzl's in 255/100r16 ( 36.4") they were hard to find as they are an XD tyres reserved for mines and emergency services. Eventually Michelin agreed to sell them to me but at over 800 a corner it's just way too much.
I still love skinny tyres and think they can perform better than wide in a lot of ways. Shame there isnt much tall skinnys to choose from.
I've been wanting a walk around of this truck for years!
Apologies it took so long. Hope it was worth the wait.
@@lror of course! Love to see the inner workings. Be safe don't catch the Pikachu variant 🤣
