Why do you think the trail lines go high on the right side... to avoid this. Glad you made it out. Did this in my 1st gen Tacoma. Piece of cake when taking the correct line.
With enough traction and clearance anything can make it up anything. There is no magic to any vehicle, including Land Rovers, no matter what marketers want you to think. In this case, my tires lost traction and I slipped into the gap. In other cases I may have just walked right up. What you don't see in a commercial is how many takes it did or didn't take for that Kia sportage to get up and how much time they spent studying to find the abosolute perfect line for that specific vehicle.
Okay, for those that say the Kia Sorento did better, that is true. But it WAS a commercial, so we didn't see how long it really took. It could have taken just as long, and they could have cut out the pauses. Also, you are comparing 20+ year old technology to brand new. Not to mention, driver skill matters. Just my $0.02.
Justin Taylor Totally true. Bottom line is that I needed to be about three inches the the right on the climb and the tires would have had enough contact patch to avoid the slip into the crevice. Off roading is a matter of clearance and traction. The best drivers know how to put whatever car in the best place to optimize both. I will say that if the Kia or similar stock vehicle would have followed the path I took that day, it would no longer have a front bumper, rear bumper, and lower body damage on the door sills. It could have made it through, though. That is where the modifications of lift and aftermarket protective parts come into play.
pearsth - Yea, that's what it looked like, (vehicles position). I hope to one day get out that way and drive some trails. I'm actually looking at getting my own Discovery in the near future for trails, hunting, and what not. I like vehicles that you don't see on trails that often. And here in Wisconsin, I haven't seen many Land Rovers. That's why I've been watching every video I can and learning as much as possible about them before I take the dive haha. So far, I like what I see.
Justin Taylor Discoveries are dirt cheap now but you need to love them. There are good ones and really bad ones that have a lot of shit break all the time. My first one I bought new in 97 then sold in 2003 after modifying it a bit more than this one (33” tires, more lift, and some additional suspension mods to radius arms and trailing links to account for the lift). My friend bought this one used at 3 years old and did all of same mods (bumpers, sliders, etc) but with a smaller lift and these 31 inch tires. I always regretted selling mine and he sold this one to me a few years ago. I have it for occasional driving for fun. If you want something cheaper and easier to maintain there are better options (Jeep Cherokee) but they don’t have the same character.
pearsth - Yea, my buddies always say get a Jeep or full size. But I don't see the need for something that large, plus Jeeps are super common wherever I go. When I was younger I had a bullet proof 94 Geo Tracker and that thing was a blast on trails. After that I had a basically stock 92 Jimmy that was beast. But there's something about the looks of an old Discovery that gets me. And everything I've seen about their off-road capabilities puts a smile on my face. Plus it doesn't seem like they need a whole lot to be capable of most anything thrown at them. I've seen many that have been basically stock, all the way up to everything that's modifiable, has been done to the extreme. Plus, I've taken care of everything I've ever owned religiously. And have always done the work myself. So that's not a big deal to me. And the most I would do is tires, lift, and bumpers for a better approach and departure. And a few other minor extras that don't really affect its off-roading ability. That seems like all that is really necessary to make these super solid on trails.
Justin Taylor You sound like the perfect Rover owner. Discoweb.org has a good forum for supporting these and debating what mods to put on. Not to mention a decent classified section for used vehicles. It comes with a lot of attitude but the info is good.
Practice makes perfect - however next time someone tells you to "Roll Back in Neutral" I suggest you tell them to go to hell... Never do that as it is just damn too dangerous... I drive a D1 like that except it is an auto... Also did you engage the CDL..? Cause it don't look like it was working...
Looks like the driver was not giving the traction control enough time to kick in. Looks like every time it was about to hook up he lets off. You really need to stay on the pedal on these Discos for a bit for it to start sending power to the correct wheel(s).
Disco 2 has traction control, Disco 1 does not. The front wheel has a limited slip that was not engaging, even though i rode the brake for this situation.
@@pearsth Ahhhh that makes lots of sense now. Didn't know the D1's don't have the traction control. Good job getting her up that with just a CLD then 👍 and thank you for sharing the video with all of us.
M.A B hahahaha, after growing up in the U.K. and it being called petrol, when I moved to North America and they called it gas (gasoline), I was scratching my head, gotta love the yanks for twisting a language.
Seems the spotter was pretty craptastic. I'm thinking "why isn't he turning to the left? Why is he driving up the wall on the right? Oh well, that's why you trust your spotter, they see things you don't. OH MAN!!! IT'S GOING OVER!! Whew"!
You actually need to stay more to the right on this trail. Let your tires crawl up the wall and avoid that crevice. The line to the left away from the wall looks better but that is how drivers get stuck.
observation: Never mind that Land Rover would like to forget they ever made those and no Land Rover/ Jag dealer will take one in trade, He has all the yuppie add-ons yet can't figure out where his tires are,. I wanna see his "testing my snorkel" video.
Dear camara men please believe on rovers will climb the hill if a good driver is at the wheel and without braking half shafts as some popular american brand
I would have to agree my friend owned 1993 Series 1 3.5lt V8 Discovery and it gave him nothing but problems it was the most unreliable 4WD he has ever owned, the Diesel is pretty horrible too when you get the three amigos your up for an engine rebuild.
@@ghettomist1575 only good if youre willing to spend the money to take care of it or are willing to get under it every month. I have one with 170k, never broken down on me but I do replace parts frequently... the nice thing Is once you fix the issues these are known for, which most people ignore. They are good suvs, and they're fun as hell to drive. Just be willing to learn.. any discovery on the market you should multiply by 2... thats the price you'll pay for a good running one, then multiply that number by 2 and you'll have a reliable one. 😉
Love my little disco 1. My biggest issue is that it is way under powered with the 3.9 V8. I had a 4.0L V8 in a 97 with newer engine management system years ago and it didn't seem nearly as under powered.. In the last year, it has started to show some rust in places on the body that had been held back by warranty rust repair 20 years ago, but it is 25 years old.
'Go'! The mighty Disco! Its 'pucker' times like this that you realise the value of a good spotter. Nice video mate. Cheers for sharing
Dude, is the first time I hear the guy whos recording saying "sorry", awesome! Also awesome that climb, must be really scary!
GREAT JOB GETTING IT UP THERE! I Really Wanna Do This With My Land Rover, and mine looks exactly like this one!
Let’s go! Lol
I can spell the tyres burning from here in Ireland. Great driving. Great buddies Great video.cheers for sharing
Nearly forgot, great effort for a TWENTY PLUS YEAR old truck. 😎
Stuck between a rock and a hard place. It's incredible that the truck sustained no damage beyond a scrape or two.
Let's wait and see if the sorrento can do it when it's 20 years old......
Land Rover. The best 4x4xfar
And that's why you don't use a torsion driven limited slip for rock crawling. Doesn't work without weight on the tires. A trutrac is not a locker.
Only thing you would be doing out there is pounding sand
@@hayden8693 I’ve been there many times and I do a lot more than pound sand.
@@afsisasotk I know I just wanted to use that line, seemed like the perfect opportunity
Nice video, it's on my bucket list to go there one day with my 4Runner
Good spotter. Driver should've taken the line to the right so the left tires would be lower and touching the ground. Good recovery nonetheless.
Why do you think the trail lines go high on the right side... to avoid this. Glad you made it out. Did this in my 1st gen Tacoma. Piece of cake when taking the correct line.
Right, I was thinking just follow the tire marks.
me, too! looks worse from the op than it does from the bottom.
“Make a scene...that’s the scene.” Lol
Had me on the edge of my seat legit haha 😮
KEEP your arms inside the vehicle, unless your arm is stronger than the big rocks!!
Jeep! Hold my Beer!
Finally being overweight pays off!
A later year Disco with traction control and centre diff lock will climb this with no issues.
Disco 1 has center diff lock
Center lock aka 4x4 since it's always in awd.
Nice job Tom
Once Kia sent a Sportage up their all of these people’s vehicles seem superfluous and just a show for this particular obstacle.
With enough traction and clearance anything can make it up anything. There is no magic to any vehicle, including Land Rovers, no matter what marketers want you to think. In this case, my tires lost traction and I slipped into the gap. In other cases I may have just walked right up. What you don't see in a commercial is how many takes it did or didn't take for that Kia sportage to get up and how much time they spent studying to find the abosolute perfect line for that specific vehicle.
Where is the part near rollover?
Good job!
That's a pretty lousy place to be, I've been like that in my own d1 it sucks. In that situation the only option is forward
Am I missing something? This is all on the spotter.. He should have gone a little more passenger & spotter tells him to go driver..
Ok thanks you must be a pro. Kick rocks.
Some serious angles! Holy *#&*

No worries. That should buff right out.
this is exactly why I don't take my 50k dollar 4 runner out 4 wheeling
The Kia Sorento didn't have as much trouble climbing this.

Mad Dog Power Cycles This one is an auto and the CDL was engaged. Just couldn’t find the traction until he hopped on the front.
Is that a diesel or gas rover?
Cameron Romans Gas...3.9L V8.
It’s diesel and propane
Me extraña un land rover con tanta dificultad o es el chofer o la verdad el modelo ya dio lo que tenía que dar
my girlfriend said your spanish is very bad. You are a missing a verb.
Wrong line. Saw a stock d1 crawl up this without slipping a tire.
Good job by the spotter

Hi there, I really enjoyed your video, I am putting together an off road compilation of the Discovery, and wondered if you would like to be included?
Sure
@@pearsth Thank you, I will be sure to credit your channel as the source of the footage
What it DID roll over?
But where is the Kia in this video?
DID YOU LET YOUR TIRES DOWN TO 18PSI AT LEAST.
harry walker 15 psi. Front diff lock was not working properly. That was the issue.
Gas? I didn't know gas is liquid!!!!

I assume you've actually been there, unlike me. So I'll defer to your expertise. It was nice to see the Rover make it up though.
Come on the Kia Sorrento can do it!
It can do it and a new disco can also do it this the old one thats why and also it doesn't have terrain response the new dico does have it
That was almost a bad day. Should have had a spotter.
He had a spotter the whole time. The guy at the top.
Was that attempt without lockers all round?
78a67h Rear is a Detroit locker. Front is a TruTrac which is a limited slip.
Either marque go back a good 50 years, I did not realize they are still available today. The TruTrac wasn't much help on this attempt I bet.
Is this an auto or manual please
Paul Dashwood automatic
I think I'll go around.
Scary to watch, good job!
What size tires are you running?
225/55/16
I'd like to see what these Rovers can do with good tires. Meaning -BIG
Great climb... sorento has TC and this landy doesnt
Your videography is making us sea sick. I need a Benadryl...........

Dear camara men please believe on rovers will climb the hill if a good driver is at the wheel and without braking half shafts as some popular american brand
Thats the reasson I dont sell mine.
Air lockers?
Alex Molina Detroit Locker in the rear, the front is more of a limited slip called a Tru Trac. I am not quite thrilled with it for obvious reasons.
@@pearsth Drag the brake and it will engage. Limited slips don't work when one wheel is in the air.
Tommy Metz Oh yeah, I know. This is my second Rover with the same setup. I don’t think this one was setup right as I didn’t have this problem before.
kamerayı ne oynattın arkadaş..
please mr. camoperator stop shaking the camera. looks like earthquake TV what you are filming.

Plenty of bottle ,
Why ?
Why what?
The guy recording the video is far to positive. "This is where we crush the quarter panel" " this is where a bad idea... blah blah blah"
So sad looking at those tyre Marks on such beautiful place.
Too bad you'll never see places like this due to no 4wd youve got you areas we have ours
I would Park my 4WD close by and walk instead of destroying natural beauty of those rocks.

The Kia Sorrento was better
Looool thats the one i saw before this one
fmxinsane me 2 :-)
would like to know how many takes it took to get that one up
It was a commercial, obviously they are not gonna show it being stuck for 3 minutes.
There wasn't any takes it got up the first try.
Do these people have a death wish !
Running 100m is probably extreme and dangerous to you.
He was an actor in the USA , Look up Death wish movies ??
Hard to "roll over" with that much rock to the sides...
Andrew Nichols search for hells revenge rollover vids. You don't roll to the side, you roll backwards end over end.
This is such a stupid activity.. Seeing what you can drive on.
