Thanks Nate! 10 years of forum hunting hasn't given me the all in one vital white board info that you did. Gotta hash tag the shit out of this!! And for everyone that thinks Nate's very fast skip over like intro of just throwing a axle underneath the truck and using lasers and chalk marks on the floor is absurd it's really not. Don't over think it..you don't need to be so precise.. no frame table/machine needed.
@@DirtLifestyle thank you man , you are a dam good teacher. I have found it hard to get info . Like they think it's a secrete sauce" for real " and you show a guide and a safe looking way to do this set up . I had a guy tell me mine was going to be a trainwreck. I was like dam a doushe bag . He is in a group I'm in , I decided that's going to be the name if my Jeep . It's name will be Train Wreck ! Just have to order and make a few things . Can't wait until I get done ! So can't wait !!!!😀😁
Hi Nate, don't worry about your talking, when you talk, it's informing, and educational . whoes going to complane about a free educaton .thank you for your time and knowlage.
Nate, your ability to eliminate so much of the intimidation factor on these builds is so important to us noobs! Thank you for the always high quality and encouraging videos!
Jake Burkey over at Busted Knuckle did a few great videos on link geometry. Highly worth watching, very informational. He covers a lot of pretty advanced stuff in a fairly concise manner.
I consider myself a 'skilled novice', I am a fairly proficient fabricator. But I am ignorant in suspension geometry. This video has cleared up a few things and filled in some holes. Thanks.
Nate, thank you for these videos. I have a 1952 and a 1954 Dodge M37CDN trucks I'm building a garage/workshop to build them. One is in fairly good shape and will be built to original condition. The other will be built as a regular driver for hunting, fishing, camping, hauling, towing, trail runs and such. That will require significant driveline, steering, and suspension changes. I have yet to watch a video of yours that I didn't learn significantly from, and get the brain going. Keep them coming!
Dang, wish I had more shop space to take on bigger projects like this for my channel. Keep it up! Very inspiring. Really like the high level of production you put into your videos. Makes me want to spend more time on mine.
As a small company plumbers labor nice to see a former plumber using field tools in the shop! When I get my barn built so I can start building my truck and operating my own fab shop all these plumbing tools were worth the investment
After growing up around Land Rovers and building a few D2's, I'm really excited for this and I can't wait to see it finished. I sold mine for a Jeep because of the ease and capability to be built up capable of doing trails the D2 could only dream of. The price/lack of aftermarket parts, small wheel wells, and high COG just couldn't compete. All of the built D2's that I wheel with in the Jeep still don't seem to work well. I'm sure you'll have it dialed in!
As a Disco owner and a 1 ton swapped 78 f150 project that stalled out a couple years ago you have motivated me to get back working on the f150, once i finish my np230 build for the disco. Thanks for the great content.
One of the only that can cut the words like, subscribe, and share from the script homie. Your content changed my life, especially 6 months of thought in conjunction of settling for a gm dana 60 low pinion now I'm confident in a passenger drop super 60. Thank you.
Thank you for a great channel. Your my go to guy for all things Jeep. Very few that really know their stuff in Australia and the good ones cost a fortune. You have solved so many problems for me. Keep up the great work.
Sweet video! helps me understand how to build some R/C suspension setups. i know its not the same as your big vehichles that you drive but still helps alot. thank you for doing them.
Such an awesome built, big fan of the DISCO's. Be interesting to see how the transfer case and transmission hold up over time pushing the bigger axles and tires over time. Personally, I think they should do fine.
Im curious about this as well. Its way under geared right now and I'm over gearing it for this build. The engine is going to rev higher on the freeway but this should take a ton of stress off of the transmission and tcase. 5.38 gears on a 37 should restore a ton of power and make hills easier then stock in theory 👍
I hope not! Reliability is so important for an overlander. I can deal with an over heating engine but breaking an axle shaft in the mountains, 1500 miles from home could be a game changer lol. I'm even going so far as to put chromoly front shafts in this beast. 💪
I can't say enough about how good these videos are! Super informative, and not overwhelming. Nate does such a good job explaining these concepts. Vary good channel
I was waiting for this. Thanks for all the info and really appreciate taking the time to explain in detail. In the near future I will be doing a Solid Axle Swap on my truck and will be saving all this info. Long live Nate Garage/show🇺🇸
Thanks Nate for all the knowledge. I've been thinking about 3 linking the front of my daily sas'd toyota and I learn more and more from you every video. 👍
I’m extremely impressed with this channel. Love the discovery 2 even with its issues. This will be a one of one build for sure. Never gonna see another rig like this and hardly see another build discovery 2. Thanks for the hard work and great vid. God bless.
Love it man! I'm looking to do a long arm on my TJ when I do the LS swap next year. All the info you provide is great insight and will be extremely helpful. Keep up the great work!
Glad to hear you're driving this out to do wheeling. I'm apprehensive to take my offroading to the next level because I need to drive it home. Looking forward to this series! P.S. Thank you for not leaving the music loud when you're talking or blaring some annoying song anytime you do grinding or welding
Great video, Nate. The production quality of your videos really can't be beat. It's like I'm watching @MotorTrend Channel so kudos to you for going the extra mile. Great topic, too. I'm trying to digest all I can about understanding suspension geometry so if you did a series where you get deep in the weeds on that topic it would greatly appreciated.
11:00 I see how you put a couple of joints at the outer holes for the upper link frame mounts to keep them square. I did the same thing for my link mounts. Seeing this, I know I'm on the right track for keeping everything square. BTW, I'm using the same Barnes brackets for my build as well.
As always top quality work. Your editing has gotten really good, watched all your bleepin Jeep episodes. I really enjoy your wheeling videos, but I love your shop videos. However I am patiently waiting J truck videos.
Such good content made my morning! Excellent attention to detail as always and very cool project. This will be one of a kind very capable overlander rig!
Thank you for the suspension explanation! Building a link setup for the LJ is on my long-term list of projects, so i'm just soaking up the info! Hey.. you wanna come on out to PA sometime and oversee my build? :P Nice work, as always.
Man that's some good info. I'm starting my coil over 3 link setup on my FSJ 71 J2000 . I'm hoping the Dana 44's will last a while with 37's till I can build some axles . The 401 in her has already snapped both rear shafts with 33's . It's hard having a long wheel base .
Sweet Ive been super excited for this series! I’m going to be putting 1 tons on my rig soon and I know what I’m doing for the most part but I need to do some more research on dive, squat & whatnot. I’m sure I could stick everything together and most people probably wouldn’t complain how it handles but eh, I’m picky I want it to be as perfect as possible. Any chance you could do a video on this stuff? I like the way you teach it’s just super easy for me to understand 👍🏼
Hey man, I'm planning on hitting these subjects toward the end of the series but we will see. If i have a good spot before then that dovetails into that specific video then i will cover these sooner 👍
@@DirtLifestyle I have been trying but right now the thing holding me up is power. I keep popping the breaker when welding. I need to run power to the garage. I would have an electrition do it but it is so expensive
I’ve been watching your Chanel building a 86 bronco 2 just got the body off of chassis yesterday and trying to drop axels and suspension off frame tomorrow then sandblast at my shop and powder coat it at my job
Thanks Nate!

It was on my feed,was like TH-cam saying look someone actually building a rover. Looking forward to the series. 👍
🤘 lots more rover stuff on the way brother
1 tons under the rover? sweet dude! Something I’ve been wanting to do on my TJ for a while now !! Awesome video!
Yes sir! Pretty much all of the information in this series applies to 1 ton swaps, your TJ included 👍
After growing up around Land Rovers and building a few D2's, I'm really excited for this and I can't wait to see it finished. I sold mine for a Jeep because of the ease and capability to be built up capable of doing trails the D2 could only dream of.

Thanks bro 👊
The amount of effort these vids take + the amount of effort to do the work... = ridiculous. Good man Nate.
Looks good Nate. My yj is in the shop right now getting 4 link 8.8 rear end with arb lockers. And king coilovers, bump stops. Very exciting.
Nice!

Loving the Disco stuff. Just bought one (2003 with 64k miles). Looking forward to the series.
Congratulations! Keep up on maintenance and you will love this thing 👍
Wow those are low miles!

Great video. Love the balance between fab and edumacation. Until the next video. Keep it flexy
Sweet video! helps me understand how to build some R/C suspension setups. i know its not the same as your big vehichles that you drive but still helps alot. thank you for doing them.
I am one of your Landrover friends, five to be exact; great stuff for us!

Glad your calling it a disco now and not a rover 👍 great videos too 👌
I really like that yoy hit the very important aspects of the build.
Thanks for sharing and all the effort to make your videos.
really appreceate this series, its just what i need as someone whos never built a suspension before
Trussed Tons... And 37s... Those shouldn't ever fail. 👌
I hope not! Reliability is so important for an overlander. I can deal with an over heating engine but breaking an axle shaft in the mountains, 1500 miles from home could be a game changer lol. I'm even going so far as to put chromoly front shafts in this beast. 💪

No problem! I'm happy to help! Link that yota bro 👊
I'm looking into converting my tj to long arm look g forward to this series to motivate me
I’m extremely impressed with this channel. Love the discovery 2 even with its issues. This will be a one of one build for sure. Never gonna see another rig like this and hardly see another build discovery 2. Thanks for the hard work and great vid. God bless.
Thank you for taking the time to write a positive comment! I appreciate the kind words and hope you enjoy the rest of the series 👍
Thank you Nate! Tremendous amount of information. I'll be watching sections of this several times. Already looking forward to the next video. 👍👊
We use the chalk and clear coat all the time for reference lines in framing up buildings! Great technique!
Sooooo helpful, Nate! You give hope and courage to the average joe who doubts he can do this kind of stuff! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Love the Disco build. Nice work Nate.
Thanks!
This will be the best video I watch today
Its looking good Nate.
laser and chalk line, brilliant idea. love your channel, Can't wait for next video ... Cheers from Iceland!
Thank you! One day I hope to visit Ice land 👍
12:46 holy smokes check out the cribing on the jack stands.
Nate definetly a perfectionist!
That build is looking high quality👍
I like your music choices for this video, pretty unique stuff.
Amazing content as always Nate! This Disco is coming out pretty cool for a British vehicle 😝 Thank ya sir, can't wait to see you overland it!
Thanks brother! I'm glad you are enjoying content that isn't Jeep centric 👍😆
@@DirtLifestyle Of course, your content is so awesome that I'd watch a video of you watching paint dry haha
Wonderful video Nate !
Thank you!
Great work Nate!
Thanks!
Nice to see a u.s. disco build . Keep these disco vids coming
Im always impatient for new video notifications to pop up from your channel! Love the quality that goes into the production and your work man!
Thank you!!!
Thanks for the info, great vid. I am about to start the same swap on my 2.4 L factory TD range rover classjc. Best channel on youtube
Funny how the skills we develop as plumbers/fitters translate so well to 4x4 and fabrication.
Absolutely 👍
Best trade in the world
Barrett Plumbing & Drain Hmm, but I assume it can also be the shittiest in the world too lol!
Love it man! I'm looking to do a long arm on my TJ when I do the LS swap next year. All the info you provide is great insight and will be extremely helpful. Keep up the great work!
Can’t wait to see trail to sema that disco will be a beast!
Looking forward this series.
Awesome bulid.
Thank you!
Awesome video Nate, thanks👍
Thank you!
Amazing content perfectly explained. Thanks for the great video.
Thank you for the kind words bro 👊
I’m super excited for this series!! Can’t wait to see this disco finished and on the trail to sema!
Me too bro! I'm not sure what I enjoy more, building or wheeling! In any case it's win win to build something and take it on Trail to sema 👍
Dreaming of an SAS on my '04 Dodge. This series has really helped make it seem feasible. Probably have to learn to weld first though.
Glad to hear you're driving this out to do wheeling. I'm apprehensive to take my offroading to the next level because I need to drive it home. Looking forward to this series!
P.S. Thank you for not leaving the music loud when you're talking or blaring some annoying song anytime you do grinding or welding
So excited for this series. I love my jeeps man but it’s so cool to have something different to watch you work on
Looking forward to it. I'm gonna 4 link my square body suburban this winter. Just in the front though.
My buddy David @willomet_motor_and_fab on Instagram is doing this right now 🤘. He has a great TH-cam channel as well
Cant wait to get a shop and start building with the knowledge your passing on. Keep up the great work Nate.
Thanks for watching man! I hope you get your shop sooner then later!
@@DirtLifestyle thanks man
Pretty nice content Nate!
I'm planning to 4 Link my FSJ Chief, and this series will definetly help me, thank you again!
I’ve had and built Jeeps Toyota’s and now I’m on my 3rd Land Rover. Currently I’m building a 2003 disco and Loving your channel.

love seeing the fabrication videos.
👍
Oh yeah! Can't wait.
this will help me on the cherokee build for sure.
Get to work man!!! 🤘 build that beast
@@DirtLifestyle I have been trying but right now the thing holding me up is power. I keep popping the breaker when welding. I need to run power to the garage. I would have an electrition do it but it is so expensive
Awsome video once again. In a planning stage now of my project fj40 and these are extremely helpful.
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Just discovered your channel, great video quality, awesome fabrication, and really useful information.
Thanks!
Great videos dude but if you're retaining the full time 4wd keep that in mind for your castor, toe and a few others. Cheers from Aussie land ✌🍻
Hopefully this is the last W.E. working on my TJ before selling. I'll never start out with a rust bucket again. Learned alot though. Your vids help.
I'm hoping to sas my 04 4Runner eventually, so this will be a great learning tool for me. Keep up the good work, Nate!

Love how you break everything down 🤙

Great stuff Nate! Gives me hope that I might not always be stuck with these goofy LR axles!
Great video! Can’t wait for the next one!
