I’ve been working at this shop for 8 months, Jeff (owner) is an awesome guy and went out of his way to help me get my Discovery’s 2 to a drivable state. Glad to be a part of the JC’s British & 4x4 team. :)
@@denbyr4488 It's called a Perentie, named after a very large Aussie monitor lizard called a Perentie Goanna. Here's a video of one in case you haven't seen it : th-cam.com/video/LFupmBWcFoQ/w-d-xo.html
I saw your comment before I watched the video and thought "why is this dude impressed by both axles braking?" You obviously meant they managed to BREAK both axles!
Yeah I don’t get you guys hate on the landies. You take a thirty year old neglected RRC and try to throw giant tires on it while all your Jeep builds you go out and get new axles engines and top of the line suspension components. It’s weird.
in 2019 i got a disco 1 for free put 31s on it did the rubicon, black bear, top of the world and a few others then drove it ti alaska then back to colorardo,all i replaced where the front rotors. 15k miles. gave it back and it went back out in the field from wence it came. legend.
IS THAT A PERENTIE IN THE BACKGROUND... Aussie Aussie Aussie. Hahahaha yanks be drooling over a v8 rangie with a Buick aluminium v8 that they all outlasted 4 years ago. Great episode guys!
As much as I get that the build is in keeping with the vibe of the channel, I’m fairly confident the old girl wouldve done just as well, if not better with a ride height closer to stock, softer springs and simply more aggressive (but stock sized) tyres. Rangies have more than enough clearance and flex without needing such a ridiculous lift/tyre combo.
I'll put money on it broke the pin in the diff it's quite a common break and cos you had 35" tyres it's just a case of when the pins break not if they will break if you fit a locker in both axles and with the locking transfer box they do very well you could do with about a 3-4" lift on the RRC either all in the spring with caster correcting arms or split 2" on the springs and 2" body lift and some +5" travel shocks all-round it's a very capable truck then
A mate of mine and I changed the water pump on a 4.2 liter V8 Range Rover Classic of his once and realised that Land Rover decided to bolt every part of the car to every other part of the car. It wasn't a fun job.
That is a notoriously poor area of the car. Every bolt is a different length as well. It didn’t start like that it just slowly evolved to become like that because they built them for so long. When it comes to range rovers the older the model the easier they are to work on. The carbureted models really are very bullet proof.
@@MK-1010 it’s based on the Buick 215, totally different to the nailhead. However the valve covers where designed in such a way to look like a nailhead, which causes some confusion.
First episode I've watched in ages (it all got too stupid).Bit of a shame you still made a pigs ear of the Range Rover. You'd have been much better running a 7.50 x 16 tyre (or 235/85R16) instead of 35's...... Also way better options on the suspension than running short HD springs and shocks with limited travel.
@@christopherwindsor5165 They looked the same, but in fact almost everything changed. Body panels, dash, chassis, fuel tank. Very few parts remained the same, they just happened to look the same.
I have the same model and colour but bobtailed and caged. It brakes silly things like the distributor on one occasion and the rear caliper because the last owner didn't lock tight the bolts. Go's very well up steep stuff with the centre diff locked and it's 3 inch lift.
Used to work at that shop. Wasn’t such an awesome place to work at but I learned that I will never voluntarily own any kind of Land Rover. Mater said it best; if there ain’t no oil under ‘em, ain’t no oil in ‘em. Jut get a Jeep. Or a Chevy. Or Ford. Or Dodge. Or literally ANYTHING else.
Nah. I'm on my 6th discovery 2. Current one in mint condition with 65k miles. I've had numerous people offer me 30k for it. Yes, 30k. I won't sell it. It has a certain nostalgic look and feel to it. If you take care of them and they don't overheat they can go north of 200k miles easily.
@@xm3ntal620 funny you’re on you SIXTH LR. I’m still on my FIRST Jeep. Been reliable for almost 20 years. Friendly jabbing aside, I’ve honestly never known a single European car to be reliable EXCEPT an old diesel Mercedes. Seen plenty of those with 600,000 miles and up.

Can we have some more info on the Aussie Army 6x6 that we saw a glimpse of twice?
why would you every want the least reliable vehicle every made?

Not everyone can brake both axles with just open diffs. Well done!
Well they did use a land rover and 35"s which is kind of cheating.. 😁
(Im a LR owner so Im allowed to make fun of it) 🤫
Done it to my rrc haha. Tore the rear c&p to bits and took a chunk out of the front... haha even had the spider gears spit out the casing 🤣
@@PaletoB i'll stick with my toyota 😄

Range rover is the best 4×4 by far , but american 4wd s are very very bad in engiurity and chassis . American is boof
"Land Roverings fun!" 🤣
As a brit I can 100% identify the fault its 1 of 2 issues
1 rust
2 a its a range rover
If your looking at keeping it Bob tail it
Haha. Agree with you on points 1 and 2. Subjectively disagree on #3.
I’d like to see that rig built up , new axles suspension and more power !

i have a range rover classic and it is a blast and a pain at the same time but i love it.
Hackett is one of my favorite trails!
Next time you're in CO, come wheel with the Misfit off-road crew, and try to keep up with my Kia Sorento!

It had the extended cab and 6 wheels so my bet is that it was.
Stock range rover diffs are 8 inch. Putting 35s on em with out upgrades is asking for trouble.
Great vid, really enjoyed!! 👍👍👍
35s on rover diffs? Good luck
Waiting for new dirt every day episodes isn't easy.
What’s up with people in the usa, cant they be nowdays without coffee cup on their hand?
Love this place! Always so much help!
Someone should re-body a Landcruiser with Range Rover. Then you'd have the ultimate package.
The thing didn't need that big a tire on it, breaking a fun SUV because dumb is entertainment?
Thread a cable through your bad front axle yoke to lock it up and u can drive on the other side's shaft.
Best upgrade for one of those is full gas can and a match 😂😂😂😂
Luckily it wasn't raining, because they would be soaked inside too.
I've had to do what they did to get up the hill a few times on off-road adventures.
Dave that is a perenti purpose built for the Australian army
Check the Bulk head before spending much time on it
Finally 😎 nice seeing the coffee mugs
I sure do wish Motortrend didnt sell the rights to all their shows to Murdoch in Australia. Can't access any of this anymore :(
Lol I'm building a discovery 2, went nuts with the motor and terrafirma stuff but I'll be dammed if I didn't have to replace everything.

How much for the Range Rover????
First
Whats that front bar? Plz
Why is this not on the motor trend app anymore?
FYI, E-me-You not E-Moo 😁👍
do a montero/pajero mk2
classics have 3 doors
Awesome show!!! where can I find parts for a 2006 jeep grand Cherokee lift kit
How about a fj80 build 👀
when is worlds greatest drag race 11
Good ol British quality
and i did not mention i am from australia so i did the whole trip on the wrong side of the road

At least it's not EV, MT has gone mostly EV content lately than ICE vehicles
@Jack Bradford Grow up, bigot
om606 swap 😍
The electronics for these engines are HORRIBLE !
Lookin like the Dude🤙
Why am I sitting here watching part of this episode on TH-cam when I have motor trend channel. Switching now?
My 92 RRC has been more reliable than any of my Jeeps. That's not saying much LOL! Cool card trick!!!

Let’s go more rovers!
Clarkson!!!
Tires... no studs... not Winter tires...
But love the tire and wheel set up
Go Dave n Fred
Cool to see you guys in CO!
You know what trail that is that they ran?
Ok super edited video for us non paying dirt bags.
that p38 tho
Whenever I go Wheeling the first thing I do is air down my tires
There is a saying that goes like this " If you want to go the bush take a Range Rover. If you want to go the bush and come out, take a Land Cruiser"
For the love of god learn how to pronounce EMU
Nice try. You needed more than that "lift kit" to put those wheels and tires on.
CoughSawzallcough.
at least you had an authentic Britsh car experience when it broke.
if the rear driveshaft was spinning you didnt lock your center differential. however i think you have the borg warner transferbox thats prob it,
Uh, if the rear driveshaft is spinning the transfer case is clearly working, and the rear diff is busted.
Strange Rover... you need to add the ST...
Does Range Rover still use Lucas electrical components?( Lucas,the lord of darkness!)
This comment gave me ptsd with the lucas immobiliser i had to bypass on my d1
This is cool but when are the new episodes coming out on the App?
These tires are way too big on the early axles
Would be if ya had a discovery
It’s called a Daisy Chain

Yeah, their schtick is a worn out pony. Hate to see them around any type of vehicle I like.
Man, you guys. These cars are really awesome when they are done right. You should try not wrecking one...
Boys, please. It’s not pronounced E-mu, it’s pronounced Eam-you. It hurts when you say Emu wrong.
eemoo eemoo eemoo eemoo eemoo eemoo
eem-you, not e-moo
Need this classic at ttc
Neat rig. Maybe 33s would of been a better idea to avoid breaking axles
Stock diffs will still break on 33s easy enough haha
This is DED, 33's are for Suzuki's ! LOL
this is depressing to watch... my rover is gonna take a lifetime to fix....
😂 👏 love it
Land Rovers always break down 😅
