- Today we spend some time with one of my favorite Land Rovers. Yes, the Eco Challenge Discovery. This is just 1 of 28 that were built off XD model Discoveries to support the Discovery Channel TV show.
I had a tree fall on the house, over my ravine and in a precarious position. I'm not a skilled tree removal guy so we use the Eco Discovery to assist in the matter.
We also had to figure out why we couldn't shift the transfer case into low range, and we create a few more problems along the way,

No matter what you are working on it always worth the watch.
Appreciate that, just trying to have a little fun with life over here haha.
Yikes!! Between that tree and the leaky roof, you've got a lot on your hands! I'm glad it worked out. 🙂
Like everything else in my life, I bought a project house haha. I just can’t start with something nice for some reason haha.
On the roof front, the repair hasn’t leaked in the last couple months so that is good. The house will probably come down to the studs at some point. But I’ve been weighing back and forth on just plowing it and started over with a new design that doesn’t require 50 custom sized replacement windows.
Look at all the work on the ECO, as just being a preparation run for your next adventure out in the wilderness with the old girl 🤣. With regards the chain lubricant, every day is a school day and you have to start somewhere. It turned out to be a great job as nothing managed to get broken which is always a bonus, plus the ECO is now in a far better condition, bonus. Keep up the great work.🍻😎
I’m definitely in school every day haha. It’s funny what little things you don’t know if you aren’t exposed to them.
Nice few hundred foot shake out on the eco haha.
That looked like a lot of fun! I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for taking us along.
Appreciate you following along. Makes it fun for me too.
I do enjoy these educational how to do it videos! Just another day at the ranch.
Always something entertaining going on around here, some days more than others haha.
HAHAHA that was perfect way to make my day. But hey nothing bad happened really and good thing the house went now and not on your trip. Oh check the coolant too. Oh and bar chain oil hope you mix the gas too for the 2 stroke too.
That’s what I’m here for haha.
No, it was good to figure out the few small things before taking the ol’ girl out.
Hey now, I was smart enough to know that much haha.
@@LostCauseRanch yeah I always say to myself when heading out on a trip did I check everything ?? On the rover Lol I do forget some of the camping stuff hahaha
I have the same shifting issue on my D2. The linkage is great and the center diff lock goes in fine but I can’t get it into low. I’m going to check my switch before taking the transfer case out. Thanks for the insight. Really enjoy the content.
Check that and check the solenoid. The solenoid is a little more common if it has it.
@@LostCauseRanchI got it fixed. Ended up being an internal issue with the transfer case. I had a spare one off of my parts disco and just swapped them. Works great now.
Thats hilarious the house came with a chainsaw! LOL!
Quite the deal to get a free house with chainsaw purchase isn’t it?
After watching the video, which was fun by the way, couldn’t get the t-shirt out of my head! Is it your merch, if so how do you get one?… And ship it back across the pond!
Yes it is. Shoot me an email at thelostcauseranch@gmail.com
I don’t have the international shipping set up on my site but I can get you taken care of through email.
always pays to have an electric fan on a landy when sitting still especially a v8 they get hot ,i have two on the go when i am towing a heavy load with my 300 tdi
That’s not a bad idea to add to this one. Would have been nice to have in that situation.
Bro! Your TOO Funny
Appreciate that. It’s probably more the dumb situations I get myself into haha.
