Almost there! MLV is in! I liked this product (Soundsulate). It was easy to work with and made in the USA, which isn't always an indicator of quality, but in this case it was. How much of a difference it actually makes, not sure yet... The rear trim is also finally back in place. I still need...

Productive weekend! Finally got around to laying the butyl vibration dampener material in the front and back. Next step is closed cell foam and then mass loaded vinyl.

I know these updates are becoming few and far between. The Rover is still running well, but im only driving it once a week now that the Grenadier has arrived. And with the baby due any day now, there is really no time to work on it. However... I've been pestering this person on Facebook...

Wow! That is a hell of a build! How long did it take you to drop that engine in there? What transmission are you running?

Well, Ol Blue has finally moved on to the junkyard. Stripped it for all of the best parts and sold it off for $500, which is pretty great given I spent only $1,000 to get it. With that said, the final part I pulled was the practically new ARB front bumper with 2x Hella lights. This is now...

Nice one! I thought about putting it there, but I dont like having something so close to my knee! Agreed on the Disco community. Especially for D1, it's dead quiet. Nobody really talks about them and for accessories, almost nobody is willing to spend a fair price for product. Case in point, I...

Still here, but spending a lot less time with the Rover these days. I've got a baby on the way and now that the Land Cruiser is back in my hands, most of my little free time has been spent working on that. However, I did manage to get some small things sorted on the vehicle in the past few...

Ya sure. What’s it worth to ya?

Not yet. Just sought input from DiscoWeb. Will update if I hear anything...

My favorite Discovery 1 color is Caprice Blue, which was probably one of the rarest to come to the states. At first I thought i'd wrap or paint the truck that color, but at this stage I highly doubt that's going to happen. So instead, I think im going to add accents to get the vibe. To kick...

It's funny you mention the Porsche because that was my very first comment when I saw the color! Gemini Blue, I believe. The new Defenders are so nice, but what did it for me with the Grenadier was the more utilitarian design. I do with the Gren had some of the interior refinement of the...

The green with white top is awesome! I wish it had the Disco 1 green though...

I finally got the sound dampening up on the ceiling! That means I can move the headliner from Ol Blue (the parts truck) over this weekend or next. Been a long time coming, but it'll be worth the extra noise reduction. In other news, I am about to jump into another extraordinarily poor...

Hell yeah! Now to just figure out which one works for the D1...

It's my favorite bit of kit on the truck. It's an OEM Hot Climate Grille AKA "Saudi Grille". It took me ages to locate since they're basically unobtanium.

Spent the day wheeling in the snow and I cannot overstate just how much I love this truck. There is a lot of negativity spoken about TrueTracs in the snow, but I can't figure out why. The diffs were great and got me through areas most trucks would struggle through.

Oh I didnt see that permanent mount. I'll have to check that out. Im using the cig lighter plug since it was faster and I dont need the Overnight Mode. Hmmm I didn't see this either, but to me its irrelevant. I think the camera I got in the box is more than adequate for how I plan to use it...

Ya it's nice and im glad I got it. Honestly, 1080p for the rear is all you need. I work in the IP video industry and I am impressed by the quality you get despite the whole thing being so cheap. I bought a parts truck and it came with a 12" version of the Wolfbox. To me, it's just too much in...

Shoot me a message. Are you in CA?

Well, the second project vehicle's disassembly is slowly moving along. On Friday, I sold off the wheels and tires after spending an hour replacing the starter and getting the thing moving! I was thinking that i'd maybe try to sell the whole truck once im done with it since it runs so well, but...
