The Land Rover Discovery LR4 seamlessly blends luxury and capability. Today’s one-owner 2013 Land Rover LR4 (175,804 miles) is a great example and benefits from both the rugged HD package (with locking differential) and well-equipped HSE (high specification equipment) interior trim. This means you can conquer the backcountry while enjoying heated leather seats, an infotainment system with navigation, 11-speaker Harmon…

In most cases, it’s a comfort knowing that you’re overlanding with a second vehicle just in case something goes wrong. That is unless the support vehicle in question is either a Land Rover Discovery or a Vanagon Syncro. It’s therefore deeply unsettling when Thunderbird Snapping Crankshaft and HMS Chocolate Gearbox decide it’s a good idea to make friends and head…

Land Rover and vehicle overlanding are somewhat synonymous, and while the company may have leaned more towards the luxury market in recent years, they’ve continued to produce class-leading all-terrain vehicles. The LR4 is one such model that successfully blends luxurious comfort with rugged capability. In the past, we’ve shared several expedition-equipped offerings, including this 2013 LR4 and a one-owner 2012…

If you’d like to know more about why the Land Rover LR4 is a great overlanding option then I highly recommend viewing Scott Brady’s Land Rover Discovery Shoot-out for a fantastic overview and off-road demonstration. Today’s stunning example has covered a mere 129,000-miles, has been meticulously serviced, includes many interior options from the factory, and showcases premium overlanding modifications and…

I recently shared a Toyota 4Runner classified and discussed the benefits of owning a vehicle such as this, which is suitable for both overlanding and everyday life. Well, I’m excited to offer another fantastic do-it-all alternative, the Land Rover LR4. Handsome, rugged, and oozing British charm—no, it’s not me—is today’s tastefully modified LR4. Here in the land of Shakespeare, crumpets,…

Editor’s Note: This article was originally published in Overland Journal, Winter 2014. I will be the first to admit that the introduction of a Land Rover Discovery with an independent suspension system sounded like the death knell to a brand I have come to love. Over the past few decades, each new model seemed to become increasingly complex and less utilitarian, with…

ARB finds a way to make the LR3’s and LR4’s even more capable

I recently picked up my rolling home, a 1986 Vanagon Syncro, from the body shop with a bill of $4,000. This certainly wasn’t the first time I’ve invested this sort of money into bodywork during my decade of ownership, and it sure won’t be the last. However, this is my home, and replacing the van and building something comparable simply…

The Discovery is a popular overland platform on our forum with recent examples including this 2005 LR3 SE w/ HD Package, a 2013 LR4, and a 2012 LR4 HSE. Sure, there’s something undeniably romantic about an outfitted Defender 110, but in reality there’s a lot to be said for the added refinement offered by the Discovery line-up. In his article,…

Editor’s Note: This article was originally published in Overland Journal’s Summer 2022 Issue. Hyphenated titles come cheap these days. Celebrities aren’t just actors but count themselves as advocates or activists. Emily Miller, a woman whose diminutive stature belies the punch she packs in the way she lives, earns every comma in her introduction. Sports marketer, champion off-road racer, rally instructor, director…

There have been several overland-ready Land Rover Discoveries posted to our forum recently, such as this $32,000 2013 LR4 and a heavily modified $29,000 LR4 HSE. Today’s low-mileage (130,000 miles) LR3 SE showcases desirable factory options, including the Cold Weather and HD packages, yet is priced at a bargain $8,000. Furthermore, it has been routinely maintained (oil changed every 5,000…

  The overland theme continues into the South Hall for our coverage of 2019 SEMA day two. The Gladiator was certainly a darling of the show, but Tacomas and Colorados also filled the halls. One theme that was encouraging is a general trend towards functionality, with many of the parts reflecting better durability, improved coatings, and even the use of…

(Updated: August 1, 2019) The used overland vehicle market is more exciting today than ever before, with high quality and capable options available from nearly every major automotive manufacturer. With so many models to choose from, you might be wondering which four-wheel drives make for the best second-hand overland vehicles? In 2011, we published our first US and Canada top…
