Hey guys,

You know I realized that I have never posted on this excellent site. I have, however, used it's forum as a resource countless times, just never had a reason to post. Well I thought I would share my Land Rover. I maintained a site for the entire build process. That can be found at http://www.disconomad.com.

My latest mod has been integrating iPad as a central navigation tool, that page is here.

Anyway thanks to everyone who helped me along the way...it's been a really fun ride.

Cheers!

Dang... Makes me wanna go out and buy a 03-04 D2 !!! Great rig you have there !!

Perfect rig. Been a huge fan over on LRRF and LRO. Wish you had dimensions and a CAD file for the IPAD bezel and holder. CNC machine is just screaming my name if i had the specs.

This has always been my favorite D2. Thanks for sharing!

Holy rolling computer! Nice truck. Like the overall package. So, where do/ have you taken it?

Wow, Christian... Been a long time. Truck still looks good.

What a clean rig. This makes me want to bump up to the 3" RTE

Trucks been all over areas of Texas and now resides in Northern CA where I use it to get to favorite extremely remote fly fishing locations in the high sierras. I'm having a great time exploring areas of Cali! I've been building it for years so it's really dialed for me personally know. I don't think I could ever part with it.

I'm so impressed with the level of quality of the rigs on this forum.

Thanks.

Thanks good to hear from you.

Very clean rig. I like the $G bumpers on your rig with that lift. It looks balanced.

I also like the Hannibal rack and awning. Good choices.

Only problem I have is the iPad. The install is clean and functional.

However, I am trying to avoid purchasing an iPad. I almost bought one when they first came out, but was trying to avoid impulse buying. Now they have been out for several months, and I'm still trying to avoid buying one. I want one really bad.

Your review and examples of the mapping apps has not helped my cause. Makes me want one even worse.

Yes I know... The apps that are out now are even more amazing. MotionX really is doing some amazing work.

Great web site!

What size tires do you have on there? When you went from 2 to 3 inch lift did you also one up the tires, or are the pictures deceiving me?

Yes I did. The link to that article is http://www.disconomad.com/DiscoNomad/Blog/Entries/2007/4/30_Rover_Tym_3_inch_lift.html.

I went from a 265 to a 285 tire size. The 3" system on the Disco is exponentially more expensive then a 2" but honestly it does wonders for the trucks ability and believe it or not the ride. I urge those who are between the two to just save your money and make the jump to the 3". I did three different lift systems on my truck when I should have done one. Oh well you live and learn. RTE is in my opinion the best 3" system. Again thanks for the kind comments.

those pix are staged. Nobody sets up camp with their chairs that far apart.


its all way cool, especially that Ipad setup. I emailed that link to all my expo buddies.

Man that sure is a serious trip just to "stage" some chairs...too bad geotags dont come through on forums. Pretty remote area bud...
