The Discovery is a great budget-friendly alternative for those seeking Land Rover capability without the Defender price tag. The latter may take most of the limelight, but the Discovery similarly proved itself as an extremely capable vehicle during the gruelling Camel Trophy events (watch it in action here). Subsequently, it’s a desirable platform on our forum with recent examples including this 1997, 1998, and 1999. Today’s exceptionally clean 2004 Land Rover Discovery II has covered 111,742 miles (but enjoyed an engine conversion at 110,841 miles) and showcases several tasteful upgrades. If you’d like to better understand how the Discovery II performs as a travel companion, check out the inspiring builds from Xandera, Should I Get It Reviews, and Arkansas Offroad.
From the Seller:
“This Discovery is super clean inside and out. It’s ready for hauling kids to soccer practice—or, better yet, kitting out as an overland rig. I replaced the original motor (slipped bearing in bottom end) with an engine refurbished by County Rove in Portland, Oregon.”
2004 Land Rover Discovery II
Today’s Discovery is fitted with 4.6-liter motor from a P38 Range Rover, which is widely considered more reliable than the original V8. The upgraded engine provides 218 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. A desirable engine conversion is matched with impressive all-terrain credentials courtesy of 4WD, high and low range, electronic traction control, a snorkel, and more. Inside, the Land Rover showcases a well-equipped interior with driver comforts that include:
- Climate control
- Air-conditioning
- Center console with cupholders
- Power steering, windows, locks, and mirrors
- Sunroof
Distinguishing Features
- Old Man Emu suspension kit
- BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires
