I remember getting pretty damn stuck on that little hill on Marys when I first got it, and I think you pulled me out. Let’s go do that again in a sketchier way!
Fun watching the technical sections! Two words... Diff guards. Will you be relocating the steering damper too? That puppy likes to get smashed on rocks in its stock location.
Yup, definitely planning on diff guards and burlier steering links/relocating the damper. My track rod is already slightly bent - enough that I can't get the steering wheel to track straight ahead.
@@tfrascanot really fair to judge their performance under modern standards…don’t forget this is an engine originally developed by Buick in the mid 50’s
@@MegaMezzz Cool. The things to look out for, in my opinion, are pretty similar to any old car. The bodies on D1s are prone to rust, especially from leaking sunroofs and windshield seals. Water goes to the floor and is absorbed by some really thick foam sound deadening material. First thing I'd do with a D1 is pull the carpets and dry that out or remove it entirely. Otherwise, I'd just be looking for one that had been regularly driven and maintained.
Found your channel the other day. I see you are a fellow Volvo head as well. I have a question about your Disco, what wheels are those? They look familiar but I can't figure out what they are. Thanks...great videos by the way.
Former Volvo head at this point. My turbo 142 hasn't run since 2019. Someday Redblock Jesus will forgive my sins and the Volvo will ride again. The Disco has 16x7" 0mm offset steelies that I ordered from LRparts.net. But honestly, I'm pretty sure they just source steel trailer wheels in the appropriate BCD.
@@tfrasca Yeah I don't disagree really. I enjoy them too.. But then your like hmmm I start wondering about certain parts or trails and wouldn't mind a little bit, but I get what you mean
Hell yes!!! Such a huge difference from when it was stock!

I’m down! Maybe within the next month or two? Play it by weather? 😂
yes dude! we’ll keep ya posted on the big snow dumps. fingers crossed!
Another great job brother!!
Thank you!
Looks Like all the work is paying off. Great video
Thanks!
Disco handled those rocks no problem, looks like a fun trail!
Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised. Given how bald my tires are getting and how wet the rocks were, I figured I'd be winching at least once.
If you’re ever up in Washington, we should definitely do some off-roading / filming!
I just checked out some of your videos. Really good. Where in WA are you?@@rustyintheoutdoors
Superb content.
Nice video Tyler. I love how effortlessly the discos go over stuff and the sweet sound of v8!
The sound track sure is nice.
awesome video Tyler! Disco is looking proper beastly! Pray for snow and let’s get out together soon.
For sure. Forecast is looking grim, but I’m trying to be optimistic.
I love your video
Thank you!

Slippy rocks!
Similar country to parts of the UK.
Well done for picking up the rubbish.
I always try to have a trash bag with me, because there's always something to pick up.

Love that V8 growling! Had a 2 door Classic Range Rover in Ardennes Green with the 3.9L Efi that I regret selling.
Pretty weak little engines by modern standards, but they sure do sound good.

Beautiful video
awesome video, where are you located? i have a d2 a lil north of pdx
Thanks. I’m down in Corvallis.
Love the video and your ethics towards nature, the disco is looking like a beast, I'm thinking of getting a v8, any advice?
Thanks! Are you looking at a D1 V8?
@@tfrasca yeah I've checked a few already.

PNW scenery at it’s best!
Where are you located ? I’d love to go wheeling with you I have a D2

Those wet rocks can destroy a tire side wall in no time but you did a great job! 👍
Yeah…people suck.

@@tfrasca I’m down in Eugene.
can we know the exact location please -

Ha, my wife must have said something off camera, but neither of us can make it out. I didn't even notice anything until you pointed it out.
@@tfrasca they say "psst" so I was waiting for a secret 🤣
Great video, commentary would be good though.
Interesting, I figured people preferred these driving videos without commentary.

More Shan cam! More snorting!
