I MADE MY LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 3 OFF-ROAD READY

- Before heading off to the off-road area I needed to get my Land Rover Discovery 3 off-road ready with some much needed bash plate, or Prospeed front guard if you like, and some custom rock and tree sliders.
There is no doubt that I will be needing every mm of aluminium and steel I can get on it before I finally hit the off-road tracks down in Elvedalen off-road area.
So much fun to finally be doing some modifications to the Discovery and not only doing maintenance.

Wohoo, finally I can do some off-road modification! 🤙😊 What do you think of the front guard and the custom rock sliders? 🤔
This is a great modification, very well done. I think I will make this modification on my Discovery too.

Nice job on video and mods. It never ceases to amaze on how auto manufacturers can skimp on rust proofing vehicles and/or creating areas for condensation salt and sand to collect.
Every fuel pump I’ve ever replaced on my rovers had about 3 kilos of sand and salt sitting right where the fuel pump lived which corroded all the connections and components on the fuel pump canister.
Make sure those rock sliders have drain holes on the bottoms som the grit and sand can come out.
Thank you, it turned out great in the end, broken bolt and all. 😊 There are enough areas for the salt to hide for sure, need to do some rust proofing before the winter comes. The rock sliders have small half moons on each side of the plate and have worked out nicely, only big rock that have been a issue so far. 😊 And the rock sliders are made of stainless steel so I'm hoping they will last for a while. 😅
@@LandRoverDrive excellent they look sharp!
@@jdenmark1287 👍😊 Thanks!
A great job Simon. Protection where it matters. 🙂
Thanks Andrew! I’m glad the vital bits are sorted. Not sure what else should be played up really.. 🤔
Hello. Very good👌 But in my opinion I painted the Rock Sliders black. A hug from Portugal
Hey Mario, I was supposed to paint them but didn’t have the time, I even bought raptor paint and a paint kit. 😅 Will do it later after I have fixed the rusty sills. 👍😊 And hay back from Norway! Portugal is on my bucket list of places I want to go overlanding. 👍 Simon
Yes, I think it would be much better.😎 Keep up the good work 💪Ahug from Portugal.
3:00 Not even a simple thing can Land Rover make . Why do I love these cars ? (L320)
Not sure, no logic to it really. 😂😂
The rock sliders look awesome!! Bash plate is badass too!
Thank you Craig! 😊 I think it took the Discovery up a notch when it comes to off-road performance and the looks as well. 👌😊
Great work and looks like it can take some beating now with those solid parts fitted ( looks good )
Yeah, it has been tested as you will see in the upcoming off-road videos. I’m so glad I got it on, don’t think I would have saved the compressor and the sills after the off-road trip I did. 😅 And thank you, definitely like the look of it now! Not sure if I should paint the parts black or not. 🤔
Great video - I’m looking to fit the same modification to my Disco 3, so this will hopefully come in handy! Keep up the good work
Thank you! 👍😊 I think it’s a good way to go, not to little and not to much. 👌 Would have liked to get the rock sliders painted, but will come in time. 😊
Great to see it coming together. When you edited in that music for the bolt on the compressor guard I was like......oh no please don't snap 😅 looking great and nice rock sliders. At the end, was your D3 in off road mode? It just looked a little lower than I expected it to. Looking forward to seeing the footage from the trip😎😁
Thanks Simon and it is really good to be modifying the car and not only doing maintenance, or replacing a engine. 😉😂 The music was very intentional, as of my history in the garage with broken bolts, and it was nice to have it be a happy ending for once. 👍😊 Started on the next part where I drive down to the off-road area. I think it’s going to be a nice series and good edit some off-road on the next video after that one. 👍 I’m not sure if I was in off-road mode, maybe the angle made it lean, that track has a nasty lean to the left. I know I had it in normal mode a lot to be sure I could raise it of rocks if I needed. And I used the extended mode a bunch of times to. Saved me many times. 😊
Well done on getting over the obstacles. Good to see real time work around instead of “ the plate didn’t quite fit but here you see it in now”. Hope you had a good trip.
Hey Bill and thank you! 😊 There is something about being able to fix things when it doesn't go as planned, it frustrating as can be when it's going on, but the personal victory on the other end is magical. You really do appreciate it more. And now with so much work put into the car I like it more and more. 👍 The trip was awesome and it will soon be out on the channel so stay tuned. 😉
That is a lovely shade or red. The mods are great.
Thanks and couldn’t agree more. 😊 Love the red and black and the car is getting to the point where I am just smiling every time I see it. 😁
Ahhh nice rocksliders, I thing you have more doorsil left than me.😢
Thank you and sorry for your loss. 😂😂 I can hear the rust earring away at it outside my bedroom window. It’s on the top of my “should be done” list. 😅
@@LandRoverDrive it's the same spots as on yours the outside is marginal good but inside ...😢
Okay, I need to take a good look during the fall, not sure I'm going to like what I see. 😅
Well done late night effort 💪😎
Thanks Erik! Looking back the late night efforts was the only way to get things done. 😅 Hoping that will change from now on, would be nice to work on the car mid day and even have time for lunch. 😂
Hi, I like your red rover! I noticed 3 access holes in your new front skidplate. I am familiar with the middle hole for the recovery point. Are the side holes used for a high lift jack, or air flow, or something else? I've not seen those before.
Hey and thank you! The extra holes in the front guard are there to allow air to flow through to the radiator which sits behind it. There is a air shaft in the bumper, and now behind the front guard, that leads the air into the radiator. And maybe the transmission oil cooler, need to check that. 😊 Great question! I not sure how I would use a high lift jack on the front of the Discovery, also need to look into that. 😊 Maybe need to make my own solution.
How do like the electric ratchet I have been eyeing one for awhile, but I enjoy a good mechanical one like Snap on and S&K's LP90
Dude, I love it. Best tool I’ve bought in a long time. 👍 Was looking at Milwaukee but my wife bought some Ryobi so I thought I could test it out. Works great and wish I had bought it sooner. 😊😊
I'm looking at underbody protection at the moment, so expensive
Yeah, I feel everything is getting super expensive. I had to sell my Defender to afford to buy the gear for the Discovery 3. What are you looking for? 🤔
Hi Simon. The reason your spare wheel carrier siezed is because it needs a load on it at all times when being raised or lowered. If not, the cable has a tendency to uncoil from the internal guide carrier...ask me how i know 😂
Its an easy enough job to remove and open it and realign the cables, theres a video on TH-cam of someone doing it.
All academic now though as you went for the spare-wheel-thief option 😉
Also it would probably been a good idea to spray the cavity behind the rock sliders with some sort of FluidFilm / Lanoguard protection before you installed them...to stop any existing corrosion getting any worse...just a suggestion.
Looking forward to the offroad film!
Keep up the good work 👍
Aaah, I knew there was a reason I just couldn’t remember it exactly. 👍😊 I would think the old spare wheel was enough but apparently not, maybe a bit rusted under there too. 😅 I put some Brunox on the rusted part of the sill but I need to go back and redo the sills and do a bit of welding. Will after that spray with some oil of some kind. 👍 I think the rust will be the death of this car.
Salut pourquoi tu n'as pas traité les bas de caisses contre la rouille avant de poser les rock sliders ? 🤔
Hey, I didn't have time before I went on the trip. I had Raptor ready but I got recommended to get them sand blasted first but that I didn't have time for. So rocking the bare metal rock sliders. 😅 Was going to paint them black. But the good thing is that they are stainless steal so will probably outlast the sills on the discovery. 😂
Nice job, it looks like you caught the sills before there’s a big rust problem. Hey, what was for dinner? That looked pretty good!
Yeah, still got to get it done. Hoping the insides are holding up down the line, will be interesting when I open it up. 😅 Not dinner, just evening food, Some sandwiches/rolls with topping, cheese and salami. 😊 Quite tasting and easy to make fast.
Nice mods, coming along nicely, time to get those Coopers working. Those pink ear protection looks amazing, is that your new merch line? lol
Hahahaha, that's a great idea. 👍 They are Peltor kids edition that I bought for my kids, I found out that they were the most comfortable to have on so I started using them. 😊. Yeah, a couple of videos now and the Coopers will get a proper work out, I found them to be really good and was really surprised by the capabilities of the Discovery. Thanks Peter and keep up with the good merch-line ideas. I need to set up a store soon. 🤙
Great job !
What size wheels are you running ?
What type of tyre is your road tyre set up ?
Thank you Terry! 👍 it’s 265/65R17, it’s the biggest legal size I can run and I can still roll the car if the air suspension was to go bonkers. 👍😊 I use these tires spring, summer and fall. Then I have designated winter tires with studs, they are 245/70R17, a great on road choice, such a great tire to drive on. I think if I will do a longer trip down into Europe I will find a on road tire in that size or 245/75R17, the narrow spec is really nice to drive on.
What is the type size and still air suspension works?
Hey, talking about the tires and rims? If so it's 265/65R17 and yeah, air suspension works and the car can still roll if it drops down. 😊
💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍
Thanks man! 👍😊
Anche il nostro lo abbiamo preparato tutto overlanding 🤙🏼
Nice! 🤙 Anything special you are doing or is it a complete build?
I miss my d3 was a lovely car to drive on and off road 😢
@@adamdiscovery8181 yeah, it’s a great all rounder of a car. One of the reasons I love it too. 👍😊
I assume you were going off road in a dedicated off road park? Otherwise Kasper is going to be very angry with you: th-cam.com/video/VJyopr4M_Xg/w-d-xo.html
Or maybe not, as you're not German.
Hehehe, you got me laughing. My first thought was to write something inappropriate funny here, but I restrained my self. 😂 If you check my community page you can see that me and Kasper are on the same page when it comes to this topic. And if you watch my #overlandinginnorway series (multiple) all the way back from 2018 you will see we have addressed the off-road in Norway issue many times. 👍 One Norwegian rule I don't approve of is that legal roads covered in snow, not regularly cleared, is by law then nature, and there by you are driving off-road. It has stopped us so many times now it's getting a bit annoying. 😊 And yeah, not German, just plain old Norwegian. Be sure to subscribe to the channel if you haven't yet. 😉 Best, Simon.
Demasiado equipo para una marca tan mala
😱😱 You mean to little. 😉
