    Love the sound of this rig, sounds like a semi truck! Never been a big Land Rover fan but between this and your disco I’m digging them.

      It's tempting to toss in a more powerful engine but this old idi with the right turbo sounds soooooo good! It definitely adds to the experience of using it.

    JW Speaker and Trucklite make heated LED headlights. Awesome build, just needs better headlights and rollover protection because these things have the structural integrity of a house of cards. Your sidemarker lights also need to be wired up. I love that engine sound.

    Hey Nate, if you use a aftermarket p38 steering coupling shaft the lower half that connects to the box is a pentagon shaped rod that is easy to shorten to the correct length. makes for a factory look without the bolts hanging out of it. keep up the fantastic content.

    Swap out the amazon lights for a set of Hella H4 E-code 7" round lights with some Osram Night Breaker bulbs. You could use yellow bulbs for off-road. That is one crazy build!!
    Heat cycle the tires before you sent it. Studs may not hang on, some tires require it.

    Awesome build Nate! But if you are going to use that rig on the snow you should use some Paint like a raptor or same kind to protect the frame and the cab from rusting, because the frame of the Doors, cab, tail gate are steel and they Will rust hard and it Will be expensive to replace all that! I already had to sell my defender 90 TDI because of that and a live on Portugal and there already are away to expensive to replace parts!

    Those bead blasters work pretty good. You gotta work that valve quick so it'll force the air in the tire faster. They also make a pistol grip style that has an air actuated valve that works great, you just have to wait for your rich uncle to get out of the poor house for those
