IDK bro, I would have kept it because it is an effective safety component plus the TC is nice on non locked drivetrain. But the biggest reason is that you could have been rocking Nanuuq that much faster. I would hope I could still remember to pump the brakes on the ice. But since it is your ride, I'm glad you are making it the way you want it.
Love your work!!! Are you intending on fitting the RRS brakes any time soon? Very interested to see how it goes. Looking at putting D2 axles under my D1, so could be interested in a similar upgrade if it works for you!
@@junglejonny1000 On a standard road going car perhaps. I'm no high level driver, but I have disabled "driver's aids" in every vehicle I've owned since 2004, including several vehicles I've used in competition. ABS is terrible offroad no matter which way you cut it, & I have plenty of experience without it in every terrain _(doesn't do a thing on ice without studs)_ . Traction control in a open-diff Disco can't compare to a locked-diff Disco, that's why all the offroad builds go locked in all 3 diffs. The initial implementation of Traction Control & changes inside the LT230 in the Disco's was a cost cutting move, not for better offroad performance. There's a reason the locking diff came back, plenty of uproar about poor performance offroad. It was no delay in the project really, had to happen either way to make room for the new electrics & some ideas I have for 4BT parts. All that being said, I do appreciate the concern!
I'd reposition the valve as vibration and heavy bumps will be liable to break it! The idea would be to have it inside the cab if you are towing heavy loads you could always put more pressure to the rear as in like a load sensing valve
It's well supported! The master & fittings are steel, it's surprisingly rigid, but I'll be keeping an eye on it to see if maybe it deserves an extra bracket for support. I planned to put marks on it for loaded & unloaded weight, just like I do on other vehicles I've built braking systems for. Although this behemoth will be a little more hair raising to test the lockup! I would install it inside for a racecar, but this will be a set & forget type of thing since I'll be far from looking to set lap times haha!
Thanks. I know you could just pull the fuse from the ABS for offroad, but if anything in the ABS fails offroad it would be a nightmare to repair versus my new setup. And my traction control worked "okay" since mind didn't have the locking center diff, but after the lift with the bigger tires it was a disaster & I disabled it completely.

Tinker, whats your reasoning behind soft lines and not using hard lines? Also, are you going to make a video on trans tunnel firewall insulation? Icon 4x4 uses OEM style heat deflectors. Could you make a video on sourcing those and fitting to you project vehicle.
Durability, longevity, ease of modification. Yeah I'll probably get into that sort of thing as I start getting the dashboard back in place, & for sure! Not that the 4BT makes much heat, but I'll do a bunch of research & digging around to find the right thing for the build to at least cut noise down.
every video i see of yours, its getting more tempting to do a cummins than an LS. It had me wondering though, my disco 3 is an auto v8 and heavily relies on electronics to go wheeling, how would a 4bt fair? I really like the idea of a mechanical 4WD with standard tranny, transfer case shifter etc.
The electrical system on the Rovers past the Series rigs is definitely the tricky bit. I've filled gutted my electrics & I'm building my own system. The newer Cummins 2.8L might be a better fit if you did want to keep a lot of the functions of the newer trucks. But I feel you on the mechanical build! It was a big step to tear out all my wiring, but I think it will be a fun side of the project to do a custom electrical system. Reliability is going to be the the roof on comparison to the old factory setup!
The modern stuff isn't too squishy like people worry about so long as you size it appropriately & keep excess length to a minimum. It's sooo nice to work on compared to hard line, longer lasting, & well worth the cost in my opinion. I've patched plenty of rusty hard lines, so don't get me wrong, very much depends on the project!
@@Tinker1837 there's always cupro (copper/nickel alloy) brake line... easy to bend, does not rust. Use SS brake nuts and you'll never need to replace the lines again.
@@JordanVH98 True! I've heard things about copper leaching from that but I don't know if that's been tested to be a real issue. The AN stuff still has the durability win, since the cupro stuff squishes easily (working near it or trail damage) & the AN hose flexes out of the way of most anything.
I love your videos. I need to replace a brake line in my project car and now I think I’m going to redo all of then to this type of line. Keeping abs though
Thanks, & yeah you could upgrade the lines while still keeping all the hard parts where they were. I would definitely keep ABS on a track car, or a daily driver with a more modern module then my old clunky one.
I didn't, & everything I ordered was straight from Summit Racing since I already knew what I was after. I would highly recommend installing AN hose the same inner diameter as the stock lines. The "dash" sizes in AN refer to how many 16th's of an inch it's inner bore is. In my case my Rover had 3/16" hard line, so I replaced it with -3AN _(the -3 = 3/16)_
Very nice!!!! Got a link to those hoses and fittings? Think I will need to redo my front brake lines in my jeep:-( Is that a new power steering pump I see there????
Thanks! Those are mostly Eaton Aeroquip fittings + hose. Mine weren't too rusty but were well on their way to falling apart.

Does your brake pedal feel spongy using steel braided instead of steel lines? I love the look and would rather go that route instead of bending steel lines off the master cylinder.
It will certainly make trail repairs loads easier, not to mention potentially free up a mess of space under the hood. I think this is maybe my 5th or 6th ABS delete. But to be fair they were all on '08 and older vehicles which for the most part have pretty "dumb" controllers. More modern ABS is leaps & bounds better, at least on tarmac.
Not at all, it is a real mix of things now! It has a heavy duty upgraded clutch under an advance adapters bellhousing, a NV4500 transmission built in halves with a Dodge main case and a Chevy tail housing, a custom built divorced connection to a built LT230 and a pair of now equal-length driveshafts.
Best estimate is roughly 200 horsepower and 600 torque at 1600 revolutions, and hopefully around 25 miles per gallon fuel consumption so that I can get 600 miles range from the fuel tank.
Is there any difference in brake "feel" going from hardlines to flex? I know you did the abs delete in the addition of the flex line, so you have no true base line, but do you feel any difference in the brakes?
I've done the same in other projects & as long as you use the right size flex hose + master cylinder & booster combination it feels very near the same. I mistakenly went up a size in hose on my Subaru & it's a little soft in the upper bit of the travel. Thankfully tightens right up about a 1/3 of the way down, but to be fair it also has much larger brakes all around w/different master + booster + abs delete. I plan to upgrade the Disco's brakes to big Range Rover brakes, so remains to be seen just how good the combo will be.
For sure, some of the toughest around! I've left a fair bit of blood in vehicles where people didn't care to cut the tails flush... not on any of my builds! ✂️
@@timb4655 Couldn't agree more! And worse yet is usually forget all those scratches they cause on the back of my hand... until you spill any fluid on yourself 😬
Probably so they don't just smash or deform if hit by something off-road. Also all the anti-corrosion benefits. Brake likes can easily rust out if the coating comes off.
Pros: Longevity in materials, far & away in durability, easily modified, simpler to maintain, nice looking. Cons: Costs, can wear thru nearby things, larger bend radius, different skill set.
WHY delete ABS? Well I would say do not unless it's for offroad. If so, then it's worth it to free up underhood space, remove complexity for trail fixes, and improving durability + longevity + future modification.
@@ninjakiller09 Mix. Was primarily on-road for day to day uses, with many short off-road trips per year. But after all this work this Disco will be used much more off-road & for longer continuous periods of time "off grid".
Vibration loosening/damaging the valve? I had my concerns at first, but after those steel fittings locked down I felt very confident it saw l was solidly mounted. But I suppose a little support bracket from the booster bolts to the valve mount holes wouldn't be a big deal to fabricate either.

Pretty good! Has 4.11 gears if you can believe it. Still want to put a turbo or 6 cylinder in it though, more low end grunt the better.
I have problems break in my discovery v8
They have a common problem if you Google search "Discovery 3 amigos" you should find fixes for it.
👏👏 nice work, yes cut off this f......... ABS
Thanks! Chopped it clean off ✂️
Whole video, I'm thinking, "where's the distribution block? where it is it? this won't work." Then, it shows up.

046 sec 4runner meu carro aqui muito difícil de peças
They are common here, but the older 4runner are getting valuable now.
hummm...4bt in a rover and your prop valve is attached to the master.....that would make me worry.
Vibration loosening/damaging the valve? I had my concerns at first, but after those steel fittings locked down I felt very confident it saw l was solidly mounted. But I suppose a little support bracket from the booster bolts to the valve mount holes wouldn't be a big deal to fabricate either.
Where u from

Nah, master is made of steel & valve is aluminum.
