Still lots and lots of cladding. And yet the "traditionalists" hate the D5 because it *doesn't* look like the LR4...and it's too light, and it's too nice and....

What is *your* point? What is a "serious" off-road vehicle, in your definition? Is it one that's "hard" to drive well? Is it one you don't *want* to drive on a long road trip to the trailhead? My D5 shames the old D1/D2/LR3/LR4 off the lot - it goes well beyond "intermediate" trails while...

With my hands and feet I can go up a vertical wall. Try THAT in your new-fangled "horse-drawn carriage". In 20 years, people will be on this forum arguing about whether the new ultra-light battery packs in the Discovery 7 make it better than the old 3.0L dinosaur-burner in the Defender 5, and...

Lucky8 already has been working on a no-cut winch install for the D5 that works around the intercooler. And my D5 has far better approach, breakover, and departure angles than a Grand Cherokee. FWIW, it's not soccer moms and poser bro's who are driving the changes you're seeing in Land Rover...

So there *was* a pic, then it was gone, then I edited it to add it *back*, and now there are *two*. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love it! It replaced my 2010 VW Touareg TDI, which was also a beast offroad, but this is like that times ten. 20K miles of flawless operation so far, with some serious offroading in the Rockies and a couple cross-country highway cruises under its wheels. Upgraded the ******tty OEM Goodyear...

Intercooler(s). No NA engines available.

Very interested to see how these mods go. I love my diesel D5 and it's been flawless through about 20K miles so far. How does the winch integrate with parking sensors and airbag sensors?

Check here: https://disco5.co.uk/forum . I've seen some say they can mount LR4 18" wheels on the Disco but they have to take the brake shield/resonator off - the rotors are larger on the D5. So going the other way with 19" or 20" wheels should work. 18" wheels aren't available on the D5.

I own one - and it has air suspension with up to 13"+ of ground clearance in Extended mode. Trust me - this is not a problem. This one isn't in extended mode - it doesn't even look to be in Off-Road 2, maybe only in Off-Road 1. My profile pic has mine in Off-Road 1. There are 4 off-road...

No telling, but I have had fail to fire on my G23 with crappy ammo where the primer was seated poorly in 4 out of 10 rounds...could have been good ammo, but that one in 10,000 rounds where the primer wasn't seated properly and he had a light strike. ******** happens, as they say.

The first time you use one of these to save a life, you will realize it's worth double whatever you pay for it. I've used my older DeLorme InReach to rescue a HAPE victim who required a helo evac from 11,500 feet. The catalyst for me buying one was a time when some friends and I had been...

If you carry (open or concealed) to defend yourself against other people, then you should become a member of the USCCA. They provide not only training but specialized legal support and insurance in the unlikely and tragic event defense with a firearm against a human is necessary. Defending...

I'm sorry, what's dubious about this source? I find nothing of concern in the "Who's Who" you post. He accurately summarizes Federalist 46 and the reasoning for the 2nd Amendment. I've read the entirety of our founding documents as well, including the historical context of many of our nation's...

The point of the 2nd Amendment and the other clauses related to the separation of powers is to disperse power among the people from whom the government is formed and draws its legitimacy. Without the balance of power, in the case of the 2nd Amendment, specifically military power, the people have...

Yes, I have. I weigh about 195lbs, about 5'10" and exercise regularly. I grew up with firearms. Accurate firearms handling matters most for the first shot, especially in an emergency situation. Before the first shot, there is no recoil, there is no noise, no muzzle flash. There is only...

The contribution of hydrostatic shock to injury/death is controversial. If you've ever seen actual combat footage from the era before body armor, or been in actual combat, when people get shot even by massive rounds like a .50cal or high-velocity rounds like .338 Lapua, they don't go flying...

The first shot is the most important. Center mass on a charging bear is roughly its face - most charge head down slightly. Recoil only matters for the second shot. So those skills - draw/fire center of mass, move while composing follow up - ABSOLUTELY transfer. Sure, you need practice with...

If you can't handle the firepower, then practice, practice, practice until you can, or travel with someone who can. Lots of sporting clays, cans on strings waving in the wind, that sort of thing, will help you learn the art of leading a target. True, but you have to *know* that you can take a...

If you're hunting a bear you don't have a hair on **************** unless you do it wearing a loincloth and carrying a six-inch hand-knapped Clovis point on the end of a stick - gives the bear a fair chance. ;) Otherwise, let 'em be until they attack you - bear meat tastes like ******** anyway.
