    Mounting of the face for the Ham Radio

    I am looking at the Yaesu 7800 and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for mounting the face? I was thinking of the overhead console where most Discos have the sunroof buttons. Mine is a 2004 Discovery S. Let the pictures fly.

    2004 Disco bumpers

    I liek the HiCountry rear bumper. It is the solution to added fuel at a low COG. I am awaiting McVick's review and then will probably pull the trigger this summer. That thing looks great!!

    Roof Top Tents for the Disco

    TD, 13% is 13%. I ain't gonna do it. The small will suit me fine. As far as the fuel cans are concerned, why would I ever need to take them down from the roof or put them up there when they were full? My favorite vendor in the world (Expedition Exchange) hooked me up with the Super Siphon...

    Roof Top Tents for the Disco

    I totally agree on the trailer as a solution, but once again it is all about the $$$. Right now I am not ready for that yet. Maybe in a few years, but not right now. Thanks again for all the great feedback. I really appreciate it.

    Roof Top Tents for the Disco

    OK, you are quite the salesman. I am going to go on and bite the bullet. Now, next question, additional fuel storage? My buddy T DeSanto was kind enough the other night to help me do a quick measue of the AirLand on the roof. I think we figured there would be about 10 inches left. Think I...

    Roof Top Tents for the Disco

    I totally agree with this. This is what pushes me more and more towards the Maggiolina every day. What size do you have? I am looking at getting the small, I will almost always be a solo occupant of the tent. If I were to happen to get ,y wife to join me, how jammed in there would we be...

    Roof Top Tents for the Disco

    All wonderful thoughts Lance, I really appreciate them... I will look into these other manufacturers as well. The trailer idea is stellar and I would love one. Problem is champagne tastes dont fit a beer budget. Going to bed now and will be in touch with you all again tomorrow. Thank you...

    Roof Top Tents for the Disco

    I have been doing the platform for the last few years, it's a beating and I am done with it. How about off and on for the AirLand, since this is my Daily Driver? Is it something that two can easily handle? All really good points, I am going to have to hit the sack. Will pick the discussion...

    Roof Top Tents for the Disco

    And therein lies my dilemma. Both of them are pretty much one man tents, so if I am going to be true to my "North", I have to be honest with myself and clearly recognize that my wife will never join me at all on any Overland Trip. So with the fact that I am good with them both being only one...

    Roof Top Tents for the Disco

    Well let's see..... *I might get to use it about 4-5 times a year from 2-3 days at a time *I like the ease of the Maggiolina AirLand, and the streamlined, rigid top *I also like the Overcamp as it is narrow enough so that I can also have a couple of bikes or other tiems on the roof as well as...

    Tires on stock 04 Disco II

    I would suggest not hacking away at body panels. There are plenty of lift options.. Review and make a better decision.

    School a Jeep Guy on Discos.

    I have an S, naghahide seats and all. Absolutely no sunroof. I dont think it is available on the S at all. FWIW, if I had a pot of money or at least $50,000 that I could part with, I would probably buy as many low mileage 2004's as possible and garage them and drive nothing else as long as I...
