    Need an Honest review of an Disco 3

    I agree with most that has been said. For the DII, the '04 is wanted because of the CDL, but it has NEWER blocks (made with even more worn tooling) than the '02~03. If you really much have a D2, I'd recommend a '99. That way you get a CDL (just add an Ashcroft shifter), but you'd arguably...

    2001 Discovery - short range expo build

    That's a great start. While you were underneath PB-blasting the T-case did you check to see if you had the CDL? I think early '01 was the last year of the CDL, right? If so, save up for an aschcroft shifter. I did the D1 install, and while it works, the savings aren't worth the headache. I...

    2001 Discovery - short range expo build

    Ultraguage is the cheapest way to monitor your temps. The "gage" works, but it only has three settings: Cold (dial to the left), in-spec (dial in the middle) and "you just bought a $5k engine) dial to the right. Not only is an OBDII gage recommended, it's NEEDED if you want to keep your...

    Defender Celebration Series

    I'll take one in.....oh wait, I'm from the USA. I'll just look at photos for 25 years. :(

    To LR4 from JKUR? Need advice...

    Nick325i, DO NOT drive a 10-13 full-size range rover. That's a lot of money on a used car you are going to put down after you do so.... I can't wait to get mine. ;)

    My D2 Project

    Another word of advice: SAVE FOR THE ASHCROFT. I did the D1 shifter install in fact, I just finished over the weekend. Sure you save money up front, but adjusting the linkages and setting everything up takes time and there is very little working space available. Add to the fact that you have...

    My D2 Project

    For $5000, I would seriously look at purchasing a second disco, this time with records, and using your current one as a parts car. Maybe get an earlier disco 2 that has that t-case with CDL and do an Ashcroft/d1 shifter swap, or an '04 that has a factory CDL. I overpaid for mine, $5500 and 98k...

    To LR4 from JKUR? Need advice...

    Not only should you drive one, but do it at a Land Rover dealer and let them take you over the obstacle course. My local dealer (Utah) had Rubicons on the course to, so you can compare both. (Sadly, due to the sue-happy environment which is our country, only the salesmen can go over the...

    Palomino PaloMini - MULE OFF-ROAD EDITION Reviews?

    It's true, but I'm going to quantify that. The palomino has superior floorplans (IMO) to the camp lite and it also has superior fit and finish. Have you ever been in a camp-lite? I don't think they de-burr anything and a new camp-lite 11 I walked into had the formica peeling off. One of the...

    Palomino PaloMini - MULE OFF-ROAD EDITION Reviews?

    I almost bought one the other day. The one I was looking at was a 179bhs to fit my family. I loved it and the price was decent. Storage is an issue, but they are extremely open for the size because of the wet bath. The off-road tires and lift make it look the part, but the drainage pipes...

    2010 L322 on 18"s...

    Thanks! I'm talking with Barry at Compautomotive right now. He claims they will work "later 2009 5.0L V8 non-supercharged". He's double checking because the rotors are the same size on '10 super/non-super, but the brake pads are different (caliper size?). In either case, if the...

    2010 L322 on 18"s...

    A quick part # search shows the same rotors on the 06-09 supercharged as the 2010 and up non-supercharged. How does this compare with the LR4's rotors? Could Scott Brady's spacer + LR3 trick work?

    2010 L322 on 18"s...

    Can it be done? I've searched rangerover.net, etc. and get misleading answers. I know the offset is a tad different between the LR3, LR4 and RRS, but the older L322s can fit 18s up to (I believe) 2008 depending on the proper wheel nuts. The earlier L322s could even mount D3 18" rims. This is...

    Post pictures of your Land Rover.

    This thread is just as good as any for my first post. It's not a 110, nor is it fording windshield high rivers; it's just a standard US-spec Disco II, but it's much more fun that my two previous Jeep ZJ Grand Cherokees. I already acquired a Disco I t-case shift linkage to enable the CDL, so...
