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.

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.

Wrong line. Saw a stock d1 crawl up this without slipping a tire.
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.
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.
That was almost a bad day. Should have had a spotter.
He had a spotter the whole time. The guy at the top.
Too scary,...
i got the same landy..... so capable love it
jesus castro Are they alright to own? I want one.
jesus castro land over nothing but pile of shit
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.
@@uteopia engine rebuild for the three amigos?
@@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. 😉
Gas? I didn't know gas is liquid!!!!
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.
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
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
Kia Sorento already finished climbing and I went back to this video, this fool still climbing.
A Subaru Legacy did this.
If you had a slightly better line you would have just went up no problem how is owning a disco 1
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.
Why ?
Why what?
He just went at wrong angle
Your videography is making us sea sick. I need a Benadryl...........
please mr. camoperator stop shaking the camera. looks like earthquake TV what you are filming.
Cool video but that camera movement is atrocious.
this is hard to watch! put your foot thought it
Come on. I climbed this in a stock preius. 😂
This is how it's done kzhead.info/sun/aK6fmK9xrn6rfWw/bejne.html
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.
Plenty of bottle ,
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"
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.
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.
This is such a stupid activity.. Seeing what you can drive on.
Jaekn it's cool, if you don't get it we don't want you there anyway. P.S. why watch if it's so stupid?lol
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 ??
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.
3:31 white people.😂😂😂😂😂
Troublesome wallowy unreliable rusting piece of crap Discovery. Pants lol
