Setting up the Disco 1 & 2 for Touring

The Land Rover Discovery 1 and 2 is a super capable / economic touring 4wd. It has a super strong gutter mount - allowing fitment of our 1 piece gutter rails. A truly loved vehicle by owners of them - Its challenges are off camber stability, small storage space and a short wheelbase.

Recommended 'Touring' Upgrades for Discovery 1 and 2:
 

  • Overall - If your going to need accommodation while touring - We reccommend Load bearing Roof top tents for the Disco as storage space inside the Disco is minimal - and the rack space on top is critical for longer touring. Tents like the Tuff Trek Mk3  provide a space to sleep in, carry heaps of bedding and double as a roof rack .
     

  • Awnings: Your chosen awning should have a zip on wall kit option that is good in wind, and your awning needs to be light and easy to set up pack up - so our first choice is Ostrich Poleless 270 degree awning.  more on all awnings on the shortlist here 

  • ​

  • Tyres: - Get some heavy 8+ ply sidewall off road tyres while your at it, these will help reduce body roll. + 300Kg Rear coils add enormous handling improvements. Especially with the Roof weight and rear bar increasing vehicles weight.
     

  • Rear Bar - Again storage is premium, a good rear bar can Carry your water and spare wheel off the rear door as the standard disco hinges fail quickly if larger wheels / tyres or gear is hung off it.
     

  • Roof Racks : As Light and low as possible - Racks need to be mounted forward to allow 270 awnings to swing around and cover the barn door 'gap' in rain. Versatile slotted racks like our tough touring platform allow you to customise the gear you carry each trip.
