    Overland Journal Article on James Bay

    Does anyone know if the Mercedes engine that was installed in the Series in this article would work well in a late model Disco? Is there another Mercedes Diesel that would work better? Or any other Diesel engine that would fit nicely and provide suitable power for the Disco? I looking for...

    2004 Disco African Outback Drawer Installation

    Slee Off-Road has them right now for $1245. I think that is a mark down from $1400. I jumped on it after thinking through the cost of materials, time for construction, and untold erturns and trips to Home Depot. These are supposed to be the best out there.....I will let you know.

    2004 Disco African Outback Drawer Installation

    Has anyone had any experience with this installation? If so, can you provide any advice in regard to things I should "watch out" for? Is the install easy, moderate, or difficult? Are there any special tools required? I have rear AC on the drivers side and the storage bin on the passenger...

    2004 Discovery Turning 45k

    Can anyone make any suggestions that I should try and make the dealer replace during this last free warranty maintenance checkup? I would love for them to replace the plugs, plug wires, and O2 sensors, ABS sensors, and anything else anyone else can think of, please throw down your thoughts...

    Entry Level SLR Camera

    I have been lurking on this thread as well, but pulled the trigger today on the Nikon D60 kit with the 18-70 and the 70-300 lenses. Really wanted to get the D80, but just couldnt spring for it. I'll let you all know how it works out.

    About to buy FJC 2008 Trail Team Edition

    Thanks again for all of the sage advice. I have run the numbers, haggled with the dealer, abd come to the conclusion that I am going to keep the rover for 4 more years. By then, she will be paid off in 2 years, I will save about $12,000 if I continue my payment after it is paid off, in 4 years...

    About to buy FJC 2008 Trail Team Edition

    The $3500 is refundable completely as long as I dont get into it. After that it is pro-rated based on use. So it is basically cash back as long as I dont use it.. I think you may be right about the new girl and dumping the old one. The old one is beautiful, but the new has better curves and...

    About to buy FJC 2008 Trail Team Edition

    Guys I really appreciate all the comments and advice. I hear you loud and clear. I felt "the love" drove the actual TT tonight. I do really like the truck, but......honestly, my ultimate goal is toward saving $$$ in reduced fuel consumption and monthly loan payment. The way this is working...

    About to buy FJC 2008 Trail Team Edition

    I have made the proverbial "test" drive around the block, but not any time off-roading. I love my Rover and plan to join tdesanto on some overland trips. So, needless to say, I really dont plan to do anything too extreme that might require a 3" lift per se. But, I would like to take it off...

    About to buy FJC 2008 Trail Team Edition

    Will you need longer shocks after the OME? I know you got the MT, but what is your mileage really doing to you? I am fighting the expense, and also do you run Regular Unleaded, Mid-AGrade or Super. And, does it really matter?

    About to buy FJC 2008 Trail Team Edition

    Thanks for the feedback. Off-road, is the FJ as capable? I was going for the 2008 TTE FJC. Does, will it need a lift? WHat about armour? Do after market bumpers truly void the warranty? Or does it depend on the dealer? I am very serious about making this purchase in the next 14 days and...
