    The DiscoDavis Discovery 3 Build Thread

    Why the FR over the prospeed given that they are made on the island? Don't get me wrong, my FR 1/2 rack was excellent-but loud.

    On the road help!

    Look at it as your move toward a D3 commercial spec replica (except they do have a rear window I think)...the gorrilla tape looks good, I bet if you did both black tape and some clear packing tape you could finish the journey!

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    I'm very much looking forward to being back, I rather like living overseas and the travel but the toll of it at the same time has worn thin too. My rattle is weird-it's not over bumps and such so I'm stumped. Haven't driven the truck since I pulled the heat shield so we'll see tomorrow if that...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Prepping for departure, chasing rattles. A quick update since I can't leave well enough alone in many ways and in others its just a facet of rover ownership. Truck is entering the final phase of getting ready to go home, that meant an 'export inspection' here in Abu Dhabi which means going to...

    Who makes this?

    Damnit Doug, they are inspection portholes for frame rust!

    Show me your custom fridge slides

    Nope, I was concerned that the cord would get tangled but in truth its really not that much motion and there is room under the slide for the slack of the cord, i.e. I pull the fridge out, then tilt-when replacing it the fridge tilts up and then slides back in with some element of the cord just...

    Show me your custom fridge slides

    Late to the party since I mostly lurk in just the Rover forum but I needed my fridge to both slide and tilt so a lot of measuring and such later resulted in allowing my vertically challenged self to access my fridge fairly easily: Sadly don't have any at hand of me accessing it tilted down...

    Maybe, I'll hit you on the side-I have some questions on the line's configurations/specs. r- R

    Need winch advice

    Superwinch Tiger Shark series off Amazon gets you a synthetic lined winch that is not bad. I prefer my EP9 but have been happy enough to have bought another.

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    A few more items, as you can see the prospeed wind fairing is slighting warped, that seems to be conditional. Meaning these kind of conditions at 10 am the other day: Though I think the sensor may be slightly off, as it didn't feel a bit above 110. Or as someone posted to my FB, this is so...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Yeah, I doubt I'll be taking her to the dealership for much-am def looking forward to having my tools back and an ability to really work on her. Weekend update; I pulled the little LED bar off after some reflection, I prefer the cleaner look of no lights and between the HIDs and the LED fogs...

    Sould I even bother...CB Antenna

    Sat phones def have application depending on location, or a SPOT. In my D1 I currently have vehicle mounted HAM, vehicle mounted CB, handheld HAMs, and handheld FRS. If she was going somewhere more remote than the US (or even in some parts) I'd prob grab a SPOT too. I'll wholesale acknowledge...

    Sould I even bother...CB Antenna

    I see where you are coming from, though I find it completely foreign to the way that I go about most things-or to put it in my daughter's words when a middle school friend remarked on her organization and planning penchant she replied "In my family we don't go to the grocery store without a...

    Sould I even bother...CB Antenna

    So much truth in this. At the end of the day it is theoretically possible to get good performance out of a CB but to what end? HAM is so much better, I'd rather run a handheld Baofeng than install a CB in my trucks but unfortunately too many folks run the CB and thus, as you stated, its the...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    ~100k service As the truck rounded 97,000 miles and her time here waned I decided that while I was on my last work trip I'd drop her off for a 100k mile service of sorts. I say of sorts because I've found that my mechanic is really, really good but will do what he is asked, and what he finds...

    Are Non-Genuine OE Lower Control Arms Acceptable?

    Interested in the specifics on the AUS bushings, though truthfully I think the next time my truck needs LCA's I'll end up with the RRS version. I am trying to find where on the deep recesses of the inter web I saw cross reference to the D3 armored for those (I saw it...should have copied the...

    Converting LR3 tail lights to LR4 tail lights

    I'd suggest doing some searches over on D3.uk, that's where I get most of my info for aesthetic things-those guys have done it all.

    The DiscoDavis Discovery 3 Build Thread

    Actually this is pretty helpful; as my hood-struts were going out the last time I had the hood up and its on my list of things to fix at some point...now I know I should do it before I get a nervous tic!
