2010 L322 Range Rover Autobiography Black. 135K Miles

Been in for some service items, CV boots, a leaking turbo pipe, worn ball joint, full service, get the rusty and rotten side steps off, along with the front mud flaps. The wheels have been replaced with Black L405 1065 style, with Cooper Discoverer AT 275/55/20’s, yep, they put the tyres on white walls out, so they need to change them to black side walls. the old wheels will be put up for sale next week on here.

I installed the Easy lift suspension module, 10 min job, which now gives me 5 ride heights, the added factory raised heights, so it will raise to 4” in extend mode, all controlled via an app, pictures coming on the install and the heights. One cool function, it has an auto level function, which will help when the RTT is on for trips.

Few things to do next, remove the cheap stick on wind deflectors, 🤷🏼‍♂️ I know, they are terrible and cheap, clean the leather inside, it’s in really good condition but needs a good clean and the leather fed. All incandescent bulbs being replaced with LED’s, and put on a new set of front mud flaps, without the side step cut out. Install the full rear dog guard / cage, and start to plan out how the fridge slide, dual ARB compressor and Redarc BMS Manager 30 will fit in the rear loadspace. Then it;s on to de-bringing it, remove the chrome and silver trim items, and replace said items with black versions, easy to do.

Which brings me to a general question for you, does anyone know of a drawer system that fits in the back of a L322, that is not permanent, maybe one made for a Disco 3/4? if not, it’s out with the CAD and start to design something custom to my needs.

More soon as the mods continue apace.

You'll probably find the wind deflectors are there as the black window surrounds start rusting from the top down and the deflectors cover it up...

Where are you modifying this vehicle to go..? Pete

The window surrounds are fine, checked under them when I peeled one back, but you never know what’s under them.

Off to Spain, Pyrenees in May for 10 days and then a 3 week trip in September to Croatia and the Balkans, almost all of it taking the road less travelled, and some wild camping with the RTT on it, assuming I can find a decent roof rack, Land Rover Passion in Italy looks the best bet at the moment. Check out my YouTube channel

If you don’t find a suitable roof rack I saved this from the Disco3 forum.

Million miles away from you though. visiting from www.rrsport.co.uk

Rename the "wind deflectors" as "rain deflectors" and you'll remain dry with the windows open an inch while driving in the wet. L322 3.6 TDV8 Vogue. 07MY

I have them on the Defender, which is far worse with rain pouring in off the gutter, but they look terrible on the RR  Check out my YouTube channel

Thanks, I have a cargobear on the defender and love it, they make a rack for the Disco 3/4 but I’d have to check the width dimensions and the mount brackets for the roof rails / factory mounts, and how they match up to the rack.

As with anything, can be done, just depends on the time, effort and probably £ to make it all fit.

But, looking like this one and avoid the hassles

Ive had a drawer made for the back of mine ( I use it as a gun safe )

It was made to measure and cost around £800.

Will dig out the address if it’s the sort of thing you want.

I’m going to be using the company again to add to the drawer system in my disco 1.

That looks like it would work, how have you attached it to the load space floor?

If you have the address of who made, be grateful if you could share.

Thanks

It’s a guy on eBay “metallicsuk “. I dealt with him through eBay messenger.

It’s a very tight fit so I haven’t felt the need to secure it into the back. When I’m using it to transport guns I have a cable lock through the back of it and through the range rovers cargo hooks by the back seats.

( I’m also going to fit a pair of dead bolts to the lower tailgate for increased security )

The dimensions I used were
1080wide
900 deep
220 high

Ive another gun drawer in wood but it’s to high (for me) so limited my boot space as I needed to get things on top of it and still be able to use the parcel shelf.

(It’s in the for sale part of this forum !!!! )

Thanks Andy, Will contact him

I plan to put my fridge slide on the top, I also need somewhere to house my BMS and inverter, so might get a little more custom.

Good news, after destroying an old plastic locality card, the wind deflectors are off, and there is zero rust underneath.  Check out my YouTube channel

As I mentioned in my initial post, the tyres where installed white walls out, yuck, so they turned them around, and I think you’ll agree, it looks much better that way.

A full weekend to getting to grips with the L322.

Easylift kit installed, was straight forward to plug into the ECU and configure.

3 weeks in, the plastic trims has been removed, almost all of it, grille, vents etc were cracked, missing tabs, paint chipped, or the fake chrome peeling off, all replaced. Fog lights replaced with smoked LED’s, the trim that holds them in, rattle canned gloss black. The high level brake light was cracked, only 4 random LED”s working, replaced with a smoked version. The stealth look not for some, traditionalists will be shouting “heretic” at your screens, but this for me is how I want it, and this is not, or won’t be a curb princess. This is going to do what it was built to do.
