For Sale – Land Rover Discovery II on 36″ Tires With Overland Mods


This fully off-road modified 2000 Land Rover Discovery 2 overland rig is an unexpected eBay find that we came across recently. Aside from the extensive off-road modifications, it stands out because of the insane Powerstroke 2.8L diesel engine conversion. Thanks to this upgrade, this Discovery II became extremely reliable and fuel-efficient. These engines are famous for their reliability and huge maintenance-free intervals. A properly maintained engine can easily do over 300,000 miles without the need of a rebuild, which makes it a perfect find for any fan of the off-road travels, expeditions, and overlanding.
According to the owner’s description, the truck tops out at about 85mph on the highway with the off road gears. “She’s certainly not built for daily highway driving but she cruises at 70 just fine all day long. I’ve personally taken her on multi-day trips and even drove 14 hours from Oklahoma to Colorado when I first bought her” – says the owner.
Engine and trans have about 12,000 miles on them and the whole drivetrain has been gone through and rebuilt, so this diesel swapped Land Rover D2 is ready for another 100,000 miles.
The engine is not the only interesting part of this project, because aside from that it also features a long list of the off-road and overland upgrades that include 4.11 gears, Rovertym 3” lift with springs, 2.5” body lift, castor corrected arms watts linkage, remote reservoir shocks, 36” Toyo M/T tires and many more!
