Default Our D2 profiled on a You Tube influencer's channel!

We were approached recently by an automotive videographer who wanted to do a profile of our D2. He is definitely a car guy but not a 4x4 or off-road guy.

Nice representation. Short and sweet and to the point of necessity of upgrades.

Well done with the spare tire. I thought, there is no way the door hinges can support that tire and wheel. Great looking truck. The limb risers were the most asked about item on my first Disco I way back in the day. Here in the South, every other say it was "water dem cables fer?"

Disco goals! Nice rig! Very well thought out IMO. One thing I noticed was how you offset the RTT to the back. I am guessing it was to open up some real estate on the roof rack up front? I do like how you used the overhang of the tent for a mounting point for the maxtrax. That’s a great idea that I’ll probably borrow from you!

What lift are you using?

If your concerned with engine reliability and fuel consumption, please consider a LS swap from Trailhead 4x4. Because they keep the factory Land Rover engine management, your truck will still be legal in CA, not to mention having 300 HP and run on 87 octane fuel. Your rig truly deserves this

I was thinking about hood louvers as well. How did you determine they didn’t help much as mentioned in the video?
