Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лис 2017
- We continue from our last video at Marrangaroo National Park and head to Unimog Hill for this challenge between a Hummer H1, Land Rover County 110 (Defender) and a Land Rover Discovery 1 v8.
Unimog Hill is a short but steep climb with a couple of large steps and is extremely loose shale/rock surface.
The Hummer H1 is running 40 inch Nitto Trail Grappler Tires while the County is running 35 inch Toyo Open Country Mud Terrains and the Land Rover Discovery is running 35inch Maxxis Creepy Crawlers.
We hope you enjoy the video and be sure to subscribe for more 4x4 videos.

hey guys...jb here,in the usa...the hummer guy just keeps picking for that perfect line...what a driver!! honestly though,i can't remember a time that the land rover had to back down a hill..he's always been one of the best..i love watching your videos..you guys rock!!! and its always great to hear the spotter in the back round..take care,guys…..
jon b. Thanks a lot for dropping us such a comment JB 🍻
The line was everything! Back wheel stuck in that hole, no way of pulling up and out!
InstaBlaster...
Feels good to see a Hmmwv wheeling with a civi paint job and no bullet holes in the fenders. I haven't seen an other-than-coyote brown hummer since 2003. Thanks y'all, keep being hooah! Display that beast!
Wow, that Disco sounded great AND handled that climb like a boss!
Disco for the win
Lower air pressure in the tire helps..great job
hi just your friendly Canadian here. its really nice seeing someone who actually knows how to drive there hummer
A pleasure to watch people who obviously know how to drive these things. 👍🏻
Scott Pyatt Thanks for watching and dropping us a comment 👍
Success depends 20% on the vehicle and 80% on the driver.
Roger Metzger yes and no mate.
LROR, I have those percentages on the best authority--my wife. LOL
Roger Metzger 😂😂😂
Then try it with a ferrari 😉
I don't consider myself a world-class driver--which is why we sold our Audi Fox and bought the least expensive model of Isuzu Trooper in 1987. Have you seen where a base model '87 Isuzu Trooper can go, even with such a klutz as I am at the wheel?!!
Salut les gars, même si le Def et le Disco n'ont pas démérité, loin de là, il faut bien avoué que le H1 est impressionnant, le off road c'est son truc. C'est lui le "maître". Félicitation à lui et bravo à ceux qui ont essayé (en vain) de lui contester son titre.
Well. Had no doubt about Hummer but its really hard for me to swallow a Defender being beaten by Disco!
Well done and though the terrain doesn't appear as dramatic as some of those rocky ones, yet everyone knows this is the hardest to negotiate with that loose bottom.
Yes it's very loose and very steep. The video really doesnt show how loose it is. As for disco v defender i guess this is one of the times the wheel speed of the petrol v8 ia an advantage.
Damn that Hummer makes a nice growl but the turbo whistle from the Defender is fantastic. Respect to anything and anyone that gets up there.
Mainz Man Thats a top comment 👍 Have a great New Year
It's not the vehicles, it's the driver. The trick is reading and picking the line and controlling the throttle. That hill wasn't that dramatic
I have had two H1s. That Hummer driver is a lot better than me.
Yes he is an excellent driver 👍
Disco #1. Great job.
Great Video both drivers did well. That rock sucks i saw you guys had your tyres nice and low and both still not getting any grip. Looked like a good challenge and a bit of fun. Myself and my 3 boys and little girl really enjoy your videos. Its a great way to explain to the kids on 4 wheel driving. Please keep them coming.
Thank you so much for dropping us a comment. I hope you and the kids continue to enjoy our content. You have a great eye as on steep climbs there's hardly any weight on the front and tyres always look full.
3 amazing trucks, great vid
Raymond Logister Thanks mate 👍
That looked like a lot of fun! Kinda expected a Unimog, but I've read that's only the name of the hill... Enjoy
AMAZING VIDEO THATS SO AWESOME
100% Honesty I clicked thinking they were RC'S 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for accidentally watching 😂 hope you enjoy our other content 👍
We spent our 5th wedding anniversary in Australia and Tasmania. We rented a Nissan Patrol in Tasmania and drove that thing places I didn't think I vehicle would go. Rental brochure said I had it had to be a road, they didn't say what kind :) We spent about 45 minutes power washing it the night before we left. I was so impressed with that truck as it rode nice on the highway got decent fuel mileage and was a beast on some of those trails. We met a lot of really nice people there. The only issue was that every hotel room we rented was freezing, we didn't stop at chains hotels though. The last room we rented didn't get above 10-12 C think the heater was broken, still it was a lot of fun and can't wait to go back.
I have a 94 LWB. I installed Eaton Tru-trac in the rear, which compliments my rear traction control. Recently i installed some heavy duty Johnny jointed rear radius arms, which happen to be adjustable. The Range Rover is quite sensitive to lift, pinion angles changed more than I anticipated. Requiring a new double cardan front drive shaft.Of course the air suspension is long gone and it only has a 2 1/2 inch lift. On wrangler Dura Trac 245 75 16. I found the rover to be very sure footed off road. I haven't installed the LT-230 t-case but I have one. So far I haven't needed the t-case, as I get full lock at the center diff when it engages, However it does require a bit more trail speed than is prudent at times. I love these videos!! I wish I could find me some enthusiasts here where I live In California. Next I will start on the 94 Range Rover SWB all original that i just bought for 300 bucks. Suddenly they are everywhere for sale and very cheap. I am scooping them up as fast as the bank account allows...Take care keep the videos coming.
john Kemple Sounds like you have your hands full. Thank you for watching and taking the time to drop us a comment 👍
Yes. I rebuilt the stock 4.2 with top hat liners, had the block, and rods returned to factory spec's at the machine shop.Then added the last factory set of .020 over sized pistons I could find from a small Land rover shop in England. My local machine shop said to me "we only work on race engines".. I said okay so pretend it's a race engine. It's all aluminum and comes from England..He said "Okay then bring it in" lol. Yes, hands full, the national debt looks easily manageable next to all these receipts. No reply needed..Take care
I know this is 4 years old but I also live in California and I own a 95 discovery 5 speed. Lifted it 5 inches, running 285-75-16's, open front and rear with the CDL, and some upgrade drivelines. I posted some videos on my channel many years ago. Don't get out as much anymore. But I still own the disco. Just needs a few days of TLC to get back on the trails.
The discovery Has the best sound, and it made the hill look easy...
john Kemple It sure does sound awesome. Huge part of the fun driving it.
Because it was the most modified vehicle in the video. The Humvee was the closest 2 bone stock then the defender then the Disco. The Disco use multiple camera angles and multiple edits so we don't know if that was the actual climb or not. The other two vehicles used one camera angle.
Love the sound of mine i upgraded ny exhaust to the magnaflow aftermarket exhaust and it sounds even better. Thats the real v8 in the discovery unlike the defender thats a diesel hiding under a fake v8 sticker in this video
@@reds7vn644 you can tell pretty clearly by matching up where the two camera guys are standing that they're just editing the boring bits out and that it's all one run, even the other two cars had a couple edits in their runs.
@@reds7vn644 salty much that hummer was way more capable than the defender
Keeping momentum would be a big help 😂
WHERE is the UNIMOG????
Karl K The climb/hill is named Unimog Hill.

Ok - still would have been interesting to see how an actual Unimog was doing there - and ideally a modern Range Rover with its modern Terrain Response System.
The unimog went over this so quickly the camera crew was not ready yet...lol
Rob Rose 😂😂😂
I Love Both LR And Hummer Both are Unstoppable
Hard to get traction on loose rocks! Nice job
The Hummer has lots of low down torque, those wheels were going to keep turning, the Discovery relied on lots of revs, does it have a low ratio? The Defender was defeated by lack of power, as it had similar suspension set up to the Disco, though in LR, ah, never mind.
The way to successfully overpass that steepy slope of loose rocks and a deep hole in the middle is to avoid driving the front left tire into the hole and then forcing the motor to climb forward the heavy and unsteady vehicle out of the hole. Instead the driver ought to maneuver the tires so as to climb them over both sides of the hole, leaving the hole under the chasis and avoiding falling into it.
Having driven both whilst i was serving, Land rover all the way :). Those deep ruts will stop just about anything not 'tracked'. lol. Awesome stuff. Cheers for sharing.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to drop us a comment 🍻
Man I would totally love to have one of those, put a tent a water tank some food n supplies, and there you go on an adventure with your dog.
Go for a good old land rover discovery series 300. Reliable durable and easy to repair. Great fun at affordable prices, depending on your location of course.
Would it be fairer to say this was a competition between open diffs and locked diffs?
Andrew B Only if you consider Torsen diffs (torque biasing diffs) as open diffs.
Defender - Respect
Hammer - Salute
Jeep Wrangler - All time favourite
to much tire pressure for rocks and to much weight on the rear.
But great Cars and a great Hill.
looks like fun
Awsome footage dude 👍
Dropbear Customs Thanks mate 👍 Maybe we hit this one next month
LROR Land Rovers Off Road think iv done it going down hill. Lets give it anotger crack ay
The donkey gear on the Hummer is incredible. If the wheels would hold it would climb up a 90 degree wall
As a retired Army veteran who use the Hummer in Korea in 1994, I would take that thing everywhere...I now own a 2008 Range Rover Sport SC that I wouldn't take places I took the Hummer.
Agreed. The H1 is just so robust and with the it's portals has so much clearance.
@petnzme01 I served from 1986 - 2001 and I am a retired Army veteran. the wars that cover my service are the 1st Gulf War, Iraqi Freedom along with Afghanistan. I am a GWOT veteran (Global War on Terrorism) Being a veteran is the accurate description for my service. I did not say that I was a Korean war veteran only that I served in Korea from 93 - 94.
Excellent driver in Hummer.
Just noticed that's a right hand drive HUMVEE. Never knew such an animal existed. Cool.
oldschoolgreentube Yeah its been converted. There are a handful of companies in Oz that do this job to comply them. You will also notice a few alpha bits added to this older model.
Good job 👍🏻
Unimog was the fastest vehicle of the day I guess.
Fidio yang keren
i was surprised the Disco made it up where the 110 didn't. my..... that Hummer sure had some hoops there, little wonder he made it up!! i'm not a fan of the Disco purely on reliability issues. still good to see it at work here though.
Bit disappointed the disco didn't get the close up angle that the other did but was a great video. Definitely don't see to many H1s getting around.
Defender driver made a hash of that.
Camera doesn't do justice to the slope but a LR 90 might have fared better by virtue of the shorter wheelbase. Like to see a Unimog or Pinzgauer have a go though.
Dartmoor Dave Yes that would make for a good video. Thanks for taking the time to drop us a comment.
I've noticed in another vid you have an LR90 so you know what I'm saying. The smaller boxy wheel at each corner has certain advantages.
The Hummer sounds like my grandmas joints sqeaking
nothin like putting a four foot wall 1/2 way up the hill Lol
Awesome old trucks rockin it old-school and making it look (mostly) easy! Who needs 37's and 6 inches of lift?!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to drop us a comment 👍
That hummer just has infine torque, It just spins all 4 wheels on rocks while idling. That is crazy. Looks like 37" as well
To long to wide to low to heavy
Discovery ROCKS!!!
TRILHOS CDTM disco 💪💪💪

Sacréé montée que celle-là!! Bravo!
If I live in the jungle, I’d have a Land Cruiser for going to town, and an Unimog for everything else.
Keeping momentum is the key.
As others have stated a lot depends on the driver and the tyres.
Big like
Meanwhile in Germany: hold my G-wagon
Bullshit
Is there a video of a Unimog driving up the mountain? Greetings from Germany
Defender 110 baby !
💪👊
Hummer looks like it's just trying to dig away the hill until there is nothing left to climb. LOL
If the 1st one had a V8, it would have helped! Hummer needs to let air out of tyres! 2-5psi should work! But they havin fun, that's all that matters!
I never knew they made right-hand drive Hummer H1s.
That hummer is so cool
It sure is
They look badass, BUT if you want to get up that hill...go by a Suzuki Samurai!
@ 2:21 would have been a great picture! teatering on that rock was cool!
It looks like Defender didn't have axle locks, H1 had way too big tires (small articulation) and Disco had lockers (also on front).
Exactly right.
I know comparing the Hummer to the Unimog is not apples to apples the inning has a clear advantage in any type terrain you put it in but the old tried and true Hummer/Humvee is a very capable all round offroad
The Disco driver made it because he/she was the only one with the stones to actually use the throttle. It was frustrating to see the two, otherwise capable vehicles, try to idle through an abstacle when a little throttle and momentum is all you need.
Exactly!
Can't help but think if the Defender was over one way or another by just an inch or two it might have worked. So close. I've seen a lot of cars fail, followed by another that is just slightly different, make it through; then the first car tries another line, and walks through without any problem. Other than the wide wheel track on the Hummer, one of the major differences was his ability to simply hold power on and allow the tires to just work and work and work. The Defender simply does not have the power for that. I could be mistaken, but both the Hummer and the Disco seemed like they were automatics, which in a situation like this, would be a lot easier. The Disco approached the problem differently than the other two.
It's possible and that couple of inches can make a difference 😉😂
You fellas having some trouble with the bunny slope there?
When I mini truck has a hill like this, you just drive off to the side between the trees :)
Can anyone give me the name and size of the wheels on the green Defender please 🙏🏻 I’m looking for that exact look and size ! Btw the v8 sound on the Discovery is the best sound ever 👌🏼 gave me goosebumps 😆
Haha yeah the disco sounds great. The 110 is on dynamic/kings steel wheels -25 offset wrapped in 35x12.5 toyo mt rubber. Hope your build is going well 👍
LROR
Appreciated buddy 👍🏼 great channel ! Please more videos!!!!
It's called unimog hill challenge read the title.
Man...The gas pedal is often not the answer. But often it is.
2.5 x 3,5 liters ?
U guys know what a Unimog is? I didn't see one unless it was cloaked
I beleive a unimog is made by Mercedes. And it wasnt in this video.
GUYS. UNIMOG HILL. NOT MERC UNIMOG.
How did you get ahold of those Trail Grapplers on the Hummer? Those are special edition from factory for team vehicles I believe.
Michael Kirst The Hummer is part of Team Extreme 😉 Have a great New Year 👍
In the UK we always say 100 inch chassis is all around best
MY FAITH AND THE ONLY ONE I CHOSE IS THE UNIMOG...
Disco made that hill look easy.
The discovery chose the best track.
Why did that defender give up so soon and back down the hill? He could have made it in another try or to. Should have just tried some different angles.
all cars are very impressive, nice video and respect to the drivers! What do you think about the Mercedes G in this situation?
greetings from germany,
Ronny
Not too sure, I've only wheeled with a G wagon once and that was a long time ago.
@@lror ok, thank you.
nice
Thank you
Very nice video!
i can't help but to think that they should have released some air from their tires. to much bounce, which was part of the problems. but great driving though.
What tyre pressures would you recommend for this climb?
How did the 4Runner do?
Hay que apoyar en la zona correcta, chaval
defender says v8 sounds like a td5
Harvey Baker Im quite sute it is a td5
Its not a td5 guys. Its a 4bd1-t 😎💪
Sounds like a 200 or 300 TDi with a V8 badge.
Agreed
Isuzu powered perentie
I thing the shorter defender (90/110) would have done the job better than the big one they had now :)
Putte MacGuff I drive a 110 on road and green laning but my old 90 is much better for serious off road simple due to the tyres being closer.
That is a 110.
LOL STICK ROCK KRAWLING
it is necessary on all cars to change the gasket between the steering wheel and the harness
The line they chose to me seems not optimal...but maybe it's difficult to judge from the vid
Number 1 issue with a humvee is the lack of suspension travel.
i need somer papers now :D !
Its all about the tires baby.
oldschoolgreentube tires are a big part 💯
1:35 quick way to break shafts...
What tires are on the hummer? They look larger than 37s
ntme9 They are 40 inch Nittos
a little less air in the tyres may have helped
Unimog?
Unimog hill.
Hummers are great off road they have good ground clearance they are wide and stable but being wide hurts it in tights spots many times they cause me headaches being so wide
Td4 or td5 are even last update for defender
ライン取りが難しいですね!!
Try and try again 👍
