And the duratrac sidewalls are as durable as paper. Add Cooper S/T Maxx to the recommended list. They hold up to sidewall abuse very well and tread wear has been amazing on my LR3 which are notorious for premature wear.

My Disco got into the Green Lanes magazine and like a proud dad I have to share it!

Nice, congrats! On a side note, IIRC Butch Cassidy robbed 2 trains using dynamite, the car attendant both times was a man named Woodcock who refused to open the door.

Wow, just came across this thread. Great rigs here!
This is mine, a 2010 Defender 110 with actually round about 320,000kms on the clock (drove everything myself).

There are two simple but effective holders. Years ago many of the old school expedition outfitters here in Germany sold them. At the top of each holder is a kind of hook where you simply hang on the sandladder. At the bottom of each holder is a simple bracket to hold the sandladder tight. Hook and bracket are adjustable to each other. That´s it. Simple and working. Even when full of dust or the sandladder gets bent a bit while used. I will check my harddrive, maybe I find photo.

Here in the sandladder/ traction board topic are some pictures. Traction Board Review
I guess there you can see how it is mounted. If not, please let me know, will look for some other pics then.

Hello all! Just found this thread and love it. I’ve owned several Rovers over the years and currently have a 2017 Discovery 5 HSE Td6 as well as a 1979 Series 3 88”.
just starting to think about my D5 build so any and all suggestions welcome!

For discs, the Torrel or Zeus conversions are pretty reasonable.Are your current drums stock? You should try Ike at Pangolin 4x4. If he can’t find it, it doesn’t exist.

Those drums and shoes are out there; 576974 - Drum-brake - Find Land Rover parts at LR Workshop BRAKE DRUM 6 CYL. FRONT - 576974
Reasonable is a relative term, too many factors. I went with the Timm Cooper swap on all 4.

Hey Tripp! I'm pretty new here too. Interesting site, different outlook on camping and cooking. I have a cousin in OK who married a Westbrook. Happy New Year!
My first post, but I have two Rovers. A ‘98 D1 I’ve been using for over landing for 15-20 years and recently purchased an ‘11 LR4 that I’d need to get setup in preparation for the D1’s retirement. I’m not sure if I can attch pics in my first post. But I will give it a try :)

Thank you! I spent so many years getting that one setup the way I like, doing the same on the LR4 feels a bit daunting right now.

The Lr4's look pretty nice when they are well setup, this belongs to a member of our club it is a very nice build. Although he misjudged in the second image and needed a little tug backwards.
Mine is still stock, at the moment. Wheels and tires will need to come first. While pretty, the 20’s just won’t suffice off-road

Your pic came out fine. How about some info on what you have done to it. It looks pretty stock except for lights and bull bar ! Why would you want to retire the old girl other than maybe she won't pass the kali emissions testing. Still I'd keep her on the road no matter the cost.
