Dear lord, some piece of kit u have there 😂 I just saw the roof box and mud Tyres and didn’t think further lol. Thanks for the tour, great inspiration ❤ 🇬🇧
@@Overlanding4WD yes, I meant that when I saw the thumbnail I just assumed it’s box. Fab piece of kit. You’re living the life, I’ve had a 2005 td6 vogue with 2012 lights n front bumper upgrade for about 7 years now. It’s done me well mechanically. Based in west mids. Looking to start doing it up for small adventure. Your channel is great inspiration. Thanks 🙏
A brilliant car and excellent mods. I've been watching all your individual video, but had forgotten all the work you've done. All in all a cracking job of the car and videos. Thank you for sharing.
I love it, nice to see another L322 kitted out for overlanding. I also have a L322 Autobiography overland build. I’ve not seen another one before in the U.K. This inspires me to get out more in mine, thanks. I’ll be following along as I’ve just subbed.
Thank you! They are an excellent platform to use a long distance tourer, on and off road. Once they are sorted from the previous owner bodges, moderately kitted out, they are excellent. We are limited on the extra gear we can buy for them, but that’s slowly changing as more people like us use them for venture further off the beaten track. Thanks for coming along for the ride 👍🏻
@@Overlanding4WD 100% want you say about maintenance and previous owner bodges. I bought mine a 2004 8 years ago with 113,000 miles on it as a problem vehicle due to previous owners trying to run and own a Range rover on a budget. It had full service history but the last couple of owners weren’t the ones who maintained it at the dealer and bodged everything possible using silicone and epoxy glue where possible, it was quite unbelievable. You couldn’t make it up! I parked it up on the drive, used all genuine parts and fixed everything that had been neglected in my spare time. It had not one serious issue but loads of small maintenance issues. I did it all plus more to get it tip top, I had 8 years & 38,000 trouble free motoring. It has never let me down in all this time, only issue it had is a few batteries and a starter motor & it still got me to the garage. Recently it has had the three amigos, so I parked it up to investigate but it still drives ok I just won’t drive it far with faults as that’s what causes the problems with any car. I never planned to use it as an overlanding vehicle so I bought a Toyota Landcruiser as the community convinced me that’s what I needed for my project, that was not a nice ownership experience. It spent so many times in the garage getting gearbox problems fixed I ended up using my Range Rover as I needed to collect my rooftop tent. That stayed on the L322 and that’s how the Range Rover became my overlanding project. I eventually sold the Landcruiser once it was fixed. I lost all confidence in it & just couldn’t warm to it, boring with no soul. I’m happy with Range rover ownership from experience and look forward to continued ownership.
Hello, I am watching your videos on the L322 with great enthusiasm. Great work and great information👍 Maybe I missed it, but can you please tell me where your rear ladder is from? Best regards from Vienna Erwin
I just wish Land Rover offered a wheel size that befits the capability of the rest of the vehicle. It’s an immensely capable off-roader with racetrack wheels.
My model was really never intended to be driven the way I do, the larger brake discs, the lack of a winch mount and any accessories to go off road, showed the last version of the L322 was firmly placed to go even further up market, unfortunately
Nice review. Great job with the build. Have. you got underbody protection?

Great built. Right now we own TD5 Defender 110 and we are thinking about switching to disco 3/4 or L322. I prefer L322 just because it's more uncommon to see them made for overlanding. I have few questions about your build. 1. is water tank made by front runner ? 2. what are the smallest rims you can install on L322 - i prefer to have more sidewall on my tires. 3. that dual amber/white lamp - who makes it ?
Thanks. IMHO, the L322 is a better vehicle than a D3/4, far more capable. 1.Yes, it’s a behind the seat 50l tank. 2. Well, you can do 18”s, but mine has pot brembos, and they need 19” rims to clear the brakes. 3. In the rear? It’s a drifta tent pole light, I took off the clips and used quick fist grips to keep it in place. Drifta have an EU site. Cheers
It’s not bolted down, the weight of the 50L water tank behind it is strapped to it, also, the pull out kitchen adds even more weight and that is screwed into the frame. it’s not moved at all, despite bashing over rocks etc.
One more question for you. I really like the ladder you installed. However, it looks easy for someone to steal. Are there any provisions for making it more secure, in your opinion?
Hey Mark, I’m hoping to get your opinion on 2 items: 1. What do you think of Land Rover Passion’s Expedition Bonnet Net kit and would you consider it for your RR? 2. Have you considered changing out the RANGE ROVER lettering on the front and back to all black?
Re the bonnet cage, not for me, would require drilling holes in the bonnet and TBH, not sure what I would carry there anyway. Seen the one on Max’s RR, it’s awesome, but not for me and my build. No, I like the silver lettering, my Defender had black lettering, was too much, and changed them to silver. The RR gives the black paint more definition. I did see a RRS with red lettering, and even for me, that wasn’t right 🤣
Impressive. What about access to your spare? Have you considered a tow hitch swing mounted full sized spare? Ive got the same 20” 275s and still a 19” spare in the boot. But on long journeys full loaded it would be a real pain to unpack and pull the spare. Doesnt look like you haven much/any access to yours?
I have a L405 space saver, covered in the “bigger tyres video” I don’t want a swing out, it is in the loadspace, yes I can get to it, at a push, but I have a tyre repair kit and dual compressor. 🤞🏼 don’t want a swing away, and no room on the roof either. 👍🏻
Great content as always! I myself am working on a tdv8 l322 overland build, I am delighted to see your choice of tyre size. I just have one question on this, what is your spare wheel situation? Have you got the same size tyre in the spare wheel well? (Obviously not easy to get to with a drawer system fitted) or do you just rely on having an emergency puncture fluid etc?
Thanks, good choice! I have a L405 space saver under the Loadspace, it’s there as an emergency, not a spare really. I can get to it in 30 minutes if I moved everything out / around. I have a tyre repair kit, and a can of fix a flat. I also have a ARB dual compressor. 👍🏻
Hey. Thanks for a great channel. I just bought the LRP roofrack for my Discovery 4. How do you spell the German name that made the rooftop tent mounting bars? Best regards / Thomas
The sensors are for dimming the old rear mirror, not needed, the other buttons are for garage door opening, not needed. The only thing I have lost, is the high beam assist function. Which was turned off anyway as it was too distracting.
What a great job you have done! Everything looks expertly done and I have no question that it all works great too! I’m curious if you have kept a running total of what you have spent on the vehicle.
Are you around UK on Aug 20th? Bring it to the Range Rover Owner stand at the British Motor Show in Farnborough. I can get you a free pass for one person and the vehicle. I’m on Facebook to connect 👍👍
What bulbs did you say you replaced your HID's with? I have an Oct 2012 4.4TDV8. How did you mount those spotlights. I had to modify the chrome-moly frame under the bumper to support some ARB LED lights
3.6 has twin turbos that are same size. 4.4 has twin turbos but they are sequential which means one is bigger than the other and the second one kicks in at 2500rpm
Overlanding it’s not about off-road capability but reliability and repair simplicity. RR was always known for its off-road quality, but it doesn’t match next 2 main points. No frame, air suspension, lots of electronics etc doesn’t make this car a good off-roader. How many km you can make with this vehicle?) until it breaks down or stop at one moment. It’s a cool car and I love l322 but I’m not deluded over it’s quality :)
I’ve fixed all the common issues, had everything gone over since I ‘ve owned it. I’ve done well over 10k miles, 3K off road, no issues. These vehicles get a bad wrap, yes, they are complicated, yes, they break, just like every other car on the road. To each his own. I’d rather have a well sorted L322 than a soul less Toyota, or god forbid, a J%$p.
Nothing unreliable about these cars! People who say they are have absolutely no idea and or never owned one. The front strut shafts inside the bilstein shocks on these rangies are as thick as a 200 series Toyota land cruiser axle! , Axles on these more like Toyota tail shafts. ... These v8 diesels are bulletproof unlike the garbage v8 diesel Toyota produced which they have had to can already... and speaking about been easy to work on try changing the starter motor on a toyota v8 diesel where among their stupidity decided to fit it under the intake manifold in the valley of the engine, If that,s not bad enough toyota couldn't even supply a air box filtration system that would keep dust out of your engine and turbo chargers! , The so called transmission in a 200 series is a useless set of elastic bands which doesn't even lock the torque converter up unless your in 5th or 6th gear.. however the zf transmissions in these cars are bullet proof units with little to no slip what so ever using the awesome low rpm diesel v8 torque returning great fuel economy without frying your transmission and its oil like a 200 series cruiser will, The air suspension system is rather basic and the air springs last a decade which are the same used on heavy trucks allover the world... there is 4 height sensors and an ecu!, You want to experience the ride quality of a 200 series cruiser after it has a lift kit and accessories fitted.... omfg its enough to make you puke or be too scared to go above 90 kph on certain terrain, Every car these days are full of electronics as they catch up to land rover and copy them 20 years later ..... electronics in general like ecu's etc simply never fail anyway.. they just dont!, and well you cant buy a fully mechanical diesel engine in a car anymore... haven't been able to for just about decades! Always makes me laugh when some moron says how unreliable these range rovers are or expensive they are to run.... ive put one million kilometers over Australia in l322's and never ... not once been let down by a (land rover reliability issue), Used half as much fuel as a land cruiser and didnt have to top up the engine oil every week either
While I applaud your loyalty to the Green Oval… the L322 doesn’t even hold a candle to real world Overlanding vehicles. All of the monocoque vehicles from the LR stable are famous worldwide for being delicate and fragile…. de-blinging a RR doesn’t make it a worthy advocate for Africa, Middle East, Asia, South America etc. I used to think that anything coming out of JLR was untouchable in the wild but since moving to Nissan I’m far better off financially and more confident on the routes that I drive. There’s a valid reason why no one makes Offroad bolt-on’s for these vehicles… they don’t belong Offroad.
@@Overlanding4WD I’ve got three of them! Two in UAE and one kept full-time in Morocco. The one in Morocco has been there 5 years now and only gets an oil/filter, brake pads and tire change… it just keeps on going! Last year it covered 18,300km in 5 months… boringly reliable Overlanding in comfort and with zero issues. I’d be a fool to say it was the best vehicle for Overlanding because it’s not… but after owning a fleet of JLR vehicles I know which ones are best left in the drive and which ones are better in the dunes & mountains! I’m keen to hear your updates on the Garmin Tread… the first review was pretty good!
It’s a good device, there are some really cool features, the 3d maps are great to see what’s around the corner, I especially like the breadcrumb tracks it leaves when you go off track. The only real issue I’ve had is it sometimes loses the satellites, and freezes. I’m not sure if that is my placement, although I have changed the mounting to push it further to the windscreen. I’m also wondering is the elements in the heated screen might play apart too. I do plan to do a full review when I get back out on the trails soon, although it’s not easy to film as you can’t screen record.
