    Coyote; aka my 96 D1 5 speed build thread

    A little mud The kiddos demanded some mud, ok in truth I did-and the dogs wanted to run so we played on the park for a bit.

    The DiscoDavis Discovery 3 Build Thread

    Hit Jay Stahl (jjstahl3), he is the man for decals-may be in there middle of a move soon but I have found his work to be excellent and it's always good to use a fellow enthusiast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Coyote; aka my 96 D1 5 speed build thread

    Minor milestones & being used as intended Hit 130k the other night, fittingly enough after I'd grabbed the eldest from camp and we were heading out to WV. The stop lined up with a ~300mi tank of gas, so about 12.8 mpg which given the 255's, rack, and her weight I can't complain about...

    CB radio install location?

    The sad reality of being on the East Coast. Though we are trying to change the tide on Defendersource to get these damn rednecks off CB.

    Different Editions for 1995 Discovery?

    Um...1999 was the transition year. 94-95 NAS D1's were 14CUX, 96-99 D1s were GEMS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I always viewed that as more a trim package than fender flares ala the Dii. Semantics perhaps.

    An LR3 on the Rubicon

    I used to have a great 'Mall Rated' sticker on my D1. May need to figure out where I sourced them! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Nah, it's the SD low but it does hug quite closely. We need to find you one as the coup de grace of your rebuild! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Coyote; aka my 96 D1 5 speed build thread

    A triumphant return to my baby who is back to DD duties until the D3 gets back. Already seeing some light wheeling in WV and also stopping at the local flora and fauna for the most excellent cookies. A small list of mods and some well deserved attention is on the plate for June/July. Sent...

    Different Editions for 1995 Discovery?

    Always sad to see a D1 fading away like that in indignity. They also didn't come with fender flares, that appears to be more/less as it left an Autozone before the 5th owner ran out of $$$ to fix things.

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Some final shots of a sort from the final days in AD. The truck should start her trek back shortly as the export cert is done and I'm already in transit. Some amusing shots from the pack out of my household...only a rover owner. Anyone need a FR half rack w/LR3/4 rails? Several weeks...

    Are you switching to diesel D3 brakes too?

    LR3 rock crawling carnage

    Concur wholeheartedly though it has been great seeing all the stuff you've done with the truck (and ultimately what that has meant in terms of what has been done to it). I absolutely love my 3 but know I'll never get rid of my D1 for the same reasons you espouse. Both do things well, but they...

    The DiscoDavis Discovery 3 Build Thread

    Its an extra but I didn't get it, though it is highly regarded. I want to-and ultimately will end up ordering as the truck moves to the US-use the same polymax flooring that I have on my SD rack. I like that material and find it very easy to modify to add elements on to the rack.

    The DiscoDavis Discovery 3 Build Thread

    I hit this here and elsewhere in the threads, but I'd say the difference is night/day. That's not just based off having a FR rack on my D3, it takes into account having a D1 that's had SD high and now low racks (with a wind fairing). In terms of DD with a rack as far as noise and fuel go I...

    The DiscoDavis Discovery 3 Build Thread

    It's loud. At least that was my impression from having had one fitted to my truck for a year. Intolerable, no-that's what the radio is for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LR4 Hidden Winch: HF DIY Install

    Warn does a great job marketing. Beyond that I'm not clear there is a substantive difference in most major brands-& I've never been let down by my superwinches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1997 Land Rover Discovery XD - Build/Restoration Thread

    That looks damn good! I'm also glad about the hood but we already discussed that! Everything in its time. You may also want to craft a Saudi style grill as I think that'd be a nice accent too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
