Disco vs Red Cone: Taking a 2004 Land Rover Discovery To The Limit Off-Road! 

The Land Rover Discovery 1&2 are probrably the most underrated 4x4,s around. When properly maintained and cared for they are reliable, robust and very capable of almost any offroad situation. My 2004 D2 which I bought new has 197k on it. It’s all about the maintenance.

I cant be the only one cringing while watching the Ford spinning and throwing dirt everywhere, just destroying the trail with excessiveness..... I'm sure it happens all of the time, but.....

When guys preface their thoughts with "when properly maintained blah blah blah". These vehicles are cool but don't kid yourselves, your better off all around with almost any other 4x4.

As an east coaster, I get so jealous to see those views you have when wheeling in Colorado , beautiful land .

came here for the disco but was really intrigued by the explorer

The reason your hill descent is too fast is because of the bigger tires. The calibration from factory is set for a certain amount of feedback torque and with bigger tires the torque feedback is greater because of having more leverage on the hubs turning them easier. I've used hill descent with stock tired and it slows the disco down easier. The 33's tend to push the descent control a little past it's ability to hold the disco back.

LOL. That dog walked the whole trail!

These 2 were hooked after Red cone as they should be it's a killer trail I run every year.

Lol Andres hummer wouldn't be able to hang in that crowd

Yes it's all about the maintenance......,my 2001 discovery 2 has 124k miles on it and it runs and drives like a new car. I replaced the head gaskets at around 100k miles and resurfaced the cylinder heads, and installed new valve guide seals...radiator, water pump, all hoses etc.....love this old truck. The frames in these older discos can also rust badly in the rear section....so keep it clean and check/treat for rust. I have driven this truck through almost 3 ft of snow...it is unstoppable, and the stereo is amazing.:)

These kind of videos are my favourite by far. Showing a more off road experience with something older. It has a bit of overland feel and I love it.

It was a pleasant surprise to have you all along on this trip. As far as I'm concerned, you two are welcomed along on any trail run! It was a great time... thank you!

Glad you were able to put this back up. It's one of your best!

Hey guys! just a tip for steep descents in an auto LR. Next time try using the hand brake(or park brake, or whatever USA types call it). Don't just yank it full on, just a click or two depending on how worn your shoes or cable may be. Remember that the hand brake is transmission mounted, so acts more so on trans as well as rear axle, but in centre diff lock mode acts solidly on both axles.

This is one of my favorite videos you guys have ever made. I've never been a huge Land Rover guy, but damn those rigs were awesome to watch climbing up and down the trails!

That is one brilliant made video from real life off-roading. Thanks for sharing!

Great video.. enjoyed it. Ran red cone for first time this year. Now my favourite Colorado trail.

I wish I kept my 98 Explorer. Those Ford 8.8 diffs are no joke, and well supported, so he could put LSDs or Lockers in them easily and cheaply enough.

Looks like so much fun! Great video!

Great job guys. I really enjoyed this one!
