I loved my 97 Disco as well. It had its reliability issues but as an off road car it was the best. Made my 70 Series II A ride like a log wagon. I climbed over stone walls and forded 4' of water to win me "best off road" driver in a Land Rover sanctioned event.

Great car! I have the same car, same color, same model but engine TDI 300. I love it!

Nice! I often wish mine was a TDI. Mostly when filling the tank...

Love this video. Offroading with nice view and relaxing music. It’s good when you can still hear this engine revving. Unlike other videos with loud annoying beat music. Keep it up! 💪

I Owner Twoo Disco: 300 TDI and V8 3.9i..... more Freelander 2.0 and Series 2a SW 109 1963 model.. The Disco is the Best!!!!!

I've never bothered with carrying a chainsaw off-road, but a few years ago I bought a fantastic folding bow saw that lives in my Disco year round. It's made by Agawa, and I just love it. Takes up no space at all!

That’s a good call. I’ve since picked up a Dewalt 60v saw, and it’s come in handy several times. But putting a bow saw in the truck at all times is a good move.

Your video is very good! Hugs from Brazil

So cool Tyler… looks like a good time

Amazing!!!

Love your truck!!! I am a complete Disco nut. Own a 96 5dr V8, 98 3dr V8 and a Disco 2 facelift Td5. Keep the vids coming so that I can enjoy your part in the world in one of my favorite vehicles of all times.

That’s actually a brilliant idea. Usually it’s just a race against the clock (childcare/babysitter) but if I ever have more time and want to clear trees, I’ll definitely bring a snatch block.

You nearly tipped over! I'm glad you didn't You should be careful using your brakes like that. It's better to let the vehicle stall, then change to reverse and start in gear for a gentle descent.

@tfrasca142

Жыл бұрын

It's an automatic, so it wouldn't have stalled. Maybe it looked worse on video, but it didn't really get close to tipping. Never say never though, I guess.

Not bad for an American, try slowing it down a little and consider using low range if you have it. Slowing down will stop you dropping as hard or beating the suspension. I'd personally avoid stumps if you can help it, unless you have the money for a diff case and/or diff. Overall nice video and trailing. Keep up the good work.
