MSO Discovery II Budget Build

This is all just getting too expensive, right?! Well, it doesn't have to be.

For the last few years we've documented trucks builds and mods at OK4WD. We planned on doing the same this year but we opted to dial down the budget and build something affordable. The original plan was $10K for a team guide truck including purchase, parts and repairs; however, that plan changed quick when our personal schedules conflicted with filming and sourcing a complete build. We weren't sure it was going to happen until Ben (team photog) stepped up to the plate with $5,000 and an open schedule.

We bounced back and forth between Toyota and Lexus before we closed the deal on a Land Rover. Considering we could buy a Disco for $1500 or less, it left a lot of money in the budget for mods and equipment.

For a complete parts breakdown and build recap, watch the 3-part build series on YouTube >>
