We are Lucky8 Off-Road: North America's premier Land Rover Parts & Accessories retailer.
We provide both OEM and Aftermarket Land Rover Parts, in addition to our own custom designed, engineered and fabricated parts for modern Land Rover Vehicles. We started this business because we couldn't find quality parts & accessories that were good value. We are constantly testing EVERYTHING we sell to meet our obsessive standards. If we wouldn't use it on our own vehicles, we wont sell it to you, to put on yours.
On our channel we aim to provide instructional, informational and entertaining videos, all about driving Land Rover Vehicles off-road.

Its going alright so far..... so far......😊
You bet you should
Yes!!! Do it so we don’t have to. Do it for us. You’ll be doing a purely selfless act to save the rest of us Defender lovers money. Thank you for your sacrifice!!❤
I had a deposit down for one and was invited to see it at Goodwood. It’s an interesting thing, but…. In the UK it will cost £185,000 and you can only have it in a few select colours. The First Edition only comes with lots of gold and carbon. Carbon on a Defender just feels very wrong. So I then thoughts I’d order a std edition car, thats only available in gold or grey, (but no carbon thankfully). In the end I decided that for this much money I want to be able to choose the options I want, so I’m out and have cancelled my order.
06 with 210k miles, towed 7,400lbs through mountains in 100 degree heat multiple times as well. Horse trailers, travel trailers, landscape trailers, etc. Replaced suspension, air compressor(s), about to replace my second HVAC blower motor, 2 alternators, a starter, water pump, tstat housing, etc - BUT that’s all to be expected, and none of it really surprised me. Love this thing. About to get a D5, 4th rover in a row.
Yes sell.
Sure it’s impressive but not for overlanding with all the weight extra on roof rack. More for those who want speed on blacktop
"if you have not heard about the Defender Octa, you've been living under a rock" That is such a pretentious statement.
JLR…… have me completely confused!!! Jaguar is going all electric with their cars…… but the electric car market is tanking!!! Land Rover has bought out the fastest Defender EVER??? And it’s a V8!!! Also I understand that JLR are having trouble sourcing aluminium to build their cars….. Yes buy the OCTA…..’cause it may be the last ever V8 Defender!!!! Regards Ian 👨🎤🇳🇿👍🍸🍸
Don’t second guess yourself Order the the Edition One full spectrum and later have your own off-road wheels & tires specifically for the trails. And if I were you I will install the PLUM roofrack & also the PLUM bush grill with the Brit made laser led lights. In it a mode it can race the Baja 1K… this Defender is “the paragon”
I’d say sit tight on this one. 175k+Tax and fees seems a bit of a stretch. In addition, it is so far out of reach for most people that from a business perspective it doesn’t make a lot of sense unless the plan is to duplicate parts to sell them. Outside of that, I am not sure losing two vehicles everyone follows you for and is the bread and butter of your content makes sense. I’d pivot with that money and broaden the audience with a new vehicle in addition to the Defender. I think in a few years some of the design elements will find their way into a next generation Defender. Now, if it’s for you personally , that’s a completely different thing. Buy what you want if it’s not breaking the bank.
when you have this video, you ve already made your choice, just order one. no question
yes, you should!
Nope. You need a D350. Oops! Not in the USA 😅😂
Nope. You should get a Ineos Grenadier instead. Or would you get in trouble with JLR if you did? I bet you have an agreement with them…….
Did you go with the 22 inch rims with road tires to obtain the highest Vmax? In speaking with the rep, if you order it with the 20 inch/off-road tires, the Vmax is program limited from factory and then you may be stuck with this.
Just hearing you talk about it I think you should 100% get one if you can. Something maybe to be aware of since the engine is a BMW unit. They had alot of trouble with burnt valve seals in those hot V TT V8's for awhile. I'm not sure if that has been rectified or not with the later generation motors. I was once told by the head mechanic at my local BMW dealership to never buy a TT V8 bmw and definitely not an X5. It wouldn't stop me if I had the means, just some food for thought.
The S68 is an all new BMW V8 which recently was released in 2022 and shares little with the previous generation apart from being a 4.4 litre.
YES!!!
Today, not tomorrow, not next week…….you need to get it done. For America!
You proudly represent our small Defender community. Therefore keep representing us, we support you! 😊
imo the V8 90 will be a collector car eventually… so cool/weird… but so maybe will be the Octa too? lol
Nope.
Hydraulic suspension that sounds like a nightmare leaks and complications complexity off of warranty like the hydraulic lines on the old r149 Mercedes SL series
The suspension are still air springs like any other defender but they deleted the anti roll bars and have a hydraulic system to manage roll, pitch and diving. Yes it is more complicated.
Yes, you should order the new Defender Octa!
Seems like you may have talked yourself into this purchase already...?!
Great video, love your spec. Definitely is a sacrifice to loose the other 2 from the fleet but I think it’s worth it, justifies the development of new parts and accesories keeping up with the market. Also such a cool vehicle all around 😍
YES!
If I had a nickel every time I said, Holy Sugar Shack
Yes! If you don’t you will regret it. Can wait to see it on your channel.
Surely I've spent enough on my Disco 1 on your products that you can get an Octa outright XD. At any rate go for it!
So are you ordering one?
Can you actually afford an almost $200,000 vehicle? Company doesn't seem to be swimming in money to afford something like that.
Yes. You have a path to do this. Is there really any question? I’d suggest the 155mph version and then you can swap out to wheels/tires of your choosing.
They all do 155mph, just depends on the tyres which limit the top speed.
I was under the impression that they were ECU limited when ordered from the factory with the 33” A/T tires.
@@JohnMcLauchlan I don't believe so but this may be the case I will ask the Dealer when I speak to them next.
Do it!!!
Imagine the cost of auto insurance on a $170K Defender?? 😯
$600-700… Could be worse.
Yes you should sell off some of the fleet. Change it up a bit. And probably would bring more attraction to the channel with something new.
I wonder if this uses the new S68 BMW engine
It does.
If you can swing it, go for it. I’ll wait for it to come on the used market as I beat my defender up on the trails.
octa is a limited production.
I have one on order, I currently have the Defender 110 V8 Carpathian Edition and I love the V8, I hope the new V8 will be as nice.
Big Spring Hollow is the steepest of descents at Wintergreen. The video doesn’t do the loose terrain justice. Thank you to the WPOA, the Conservancy, and the Resort for hosting ROAV each spring. Thanks Justin for putting your RR in play and introducing enthusiasts to Mike Boggs and King Carter!
Thank you..what rack is that you are sporting...
Had the same skid plate failure twice in the glades
This channel is making me want to trade in my L550. I really should just get an LR3 as a second vehicle though
lookin good!
It would appear that gravity is the greatest off road tool in this video!!! Regards Ian 👨🎤👍🇳🇿🍸🍸
2006 LR3 with 205k miles; owned her since 08. Preventative maintenance is key with these trucks. My list of repairs is a mile long, but I love her. The 4.4L jaguar engine is bulletproof. However everything surrounding it is a plastic nightmare. I've slowly overtime replaced coolant hose T valves with brass fittings. I always carry tools and replacement parts when overlanding. Underrated aspect of the LR3 is the cargo area folds flat! Perfect for sleeping, no need for rooftop tent. Put that money toward Lucky 8 upgrades ;)
nice wheeling!
How do you actually connect the lights to the electrical system of the car and operated from the cab?
We go about this multiple ways, but currently the best solution is the Garmin Bluetooth switch kit
Proud owner of a 2008 LR3 - taking it on our global expedition with a mission. Please share some great advice with me. I've converted it to a camper and looks beautiful.
I would love to give you advice, but I don't know what your car needs
Darn i got an 2005 lr3 oh well I have 189k and so far this vehicle has always taken me every where I have wanted to go i was in San Antonio TX and had a coolant leak wild i was over there drove it back home with no hesitation that is reliable to me ..
