That's a handy thing to remember. "Now before those wing-nuts walk away from vibration, drill a small hole in each wing. Then stretch a spring between the two nearest holes." I'm going to drill a hole through the bolts & put a little keeper in them.

Yes...It will not go in & out of my own garage lol. I don't plan to have this mounted all the time so daily driving won't be a problem. Just need to be careful with it mounted out on trips. muskyman: sorry I was being a MMMMM yesterday I think what is said in person and what is written can come...

I moved it to the rear.

Your not being a ********. Yes it's not the best place to mount it. That was the whole purpose for this thread. But at this time I can't really find a better place to put it. *note I'm not running around town with it-just on trips till I find a better place?

Thanks..motomech Yes I do have lift-mate do to the fact I have stock bumpers. As far as being as "poser" perhaps I could spend another 2K & pose with some store bought aftermarket bumpers:) Until then I'll just have to be smart enough to stop before I run into anything. Anyway.. yes I do plan...

Perhaps I should put it in a sealed water proof vault and tow it on a trailer with my hazard lights on & when I go off road I'll just leave it at home so as not to damage it. For God sakes....Live a little already!

After thinking about it, I mounted it on the front bumper. I figure if I hit something or get into a wreck the Hi Lift is going to be the least of my worries.

Thank you all for the input on this. I think I'm going to mount it on the rear of the hood left to right. I will place extra support plates under the hood to help with the extra weight. If I need to raise the hood I can just pull it off-Or it may not even be a problem raising it still mounted...

I just bought a "Hi Lift" jack 60" and a bracket kit for mounting. My 96' Disco has no aftermarket roof rack. I'm having a hard time finding a place to bolt it down? I really didn't want to mount it to the front bumper. Have any of you mounted it to the rear part of the hood-would that be to...

I've been looking to buy a new tent for the past six months or so. After looking and comparing every tent I could find...Today I ordered a Springbar Vagabond 4 with the Portico awning. For my needs I think it's the best one out there! I wanted something to stay in 3-4 days at a time in all...

Before you spend a bunch of money on parts... If all you have is "slop" free play in the steering have you tried tightening up the nut on top of the steering box there is a lock nut loosen it & adjust (turn) the lower to tighten your free play up in your steering. I'm sure you may be able to...

I installed a OME lift on my 96 D1 about two months ago. I was getting some vibration/noise. I replaced the rotoflex & u joint on the rear drive shaft, took care of the problem. I rebuilt the front drive shaft as well while I was at it.

revor, I talked to JC's last week he wanted $2500. that price was if he did the job start to finish. Not if I just took him the carriers in, I didn't ask him if I could just do that. I'm sure he would work out a cheaper price for that? After it's all said and done the price GB Rovers gave me...

Thank all of you for your input on this.. I've gained a great deal of information on this. Now my question going around it my head is if I should look into having the hi range gear changed in the t-case or just go with 4.10's R&P.. My cost with R&P going through Great Basin Rovers would be...

monkeyboy, Do you happen to know off hand what your rpm's are at 65mph? Aren't 235/85's & 245/75's about the same dia. If you were to do it over would you have gone with 4.75 gears?

Before I put the 245 tires on, this is what I was running into 4th was way to high and third was running my rpm's up to high. I need to take it up to the mountains & play with it fully loaded again maybe I can get a better feel for what gearing to choose? I'm willing to give up open highway...

These pionts are well received... I'm marreid & it may be easier to "sneak" these gears in now....The engine work can always be a "must do" later...LOL Thanks for the replies so far!

She's purring like a kitten...other than the lovely ticking.. (not sure it's a lifter, may be a exhaust leak?) 126k miles on it, maintenance up to date since I've had it. (I've only had it for 6 months) Anyway going up steep grades & at altitude 8k feet and up just wipe it out kills it when...

How many of you have changed your gears from stock. I have a 96 Discovery with 245/75R/16 tires & stock 3.54 gears. I think that is stock?....Anyway I live in Colorado and going up passes in the mountains is a joke! I'm running 2250 RPM's at 65 mph.(4 speed automatic transmission) Most people...

Have you seen the suv Tata has on there web site? Very basic compared to U.S. standards.... Yes it would be nice if Land Rover would go back to basics with some of there offerings to the U.S. market.
