Title kinda says it: I ordered a particualr steering guard for my ARB bumper equpped DII! But what came was a Terrafirma piece. Admittedly it looks great (lightening holes, etc...) but I'm concerned that it may only work with a Terrafirma bumper. not interested into tearing into the project...

Ray, I JUST saw this thread of yours...Boy do I wish I had seen it before the VOT (or, maybe not!). What I really wish is that I had taken the time to take a close look at your rig. You've incorporated so many great ideas, coupled with obviously great execution, into this truck. I think we're...

Just sent it along. Very cool of you, much appreciated. Steve

Hi guys; This may seem like a basic question to most but I'm looking to eliminate any guessing by tapping the knowledge base here. My M416 currently has Jeep pattern hubs and I want to swap it over to the same bolt pattern as my '02 Disco II for all the obvious reasons. I don't know the first...

Email sent, thanks! Steve

Cityside Garage in Holliston, MA is the only shop I trust to work on my DII. They are a Land Rover-only shop and will do every from an oil change to build you "new" Defender from scratch. Technical ability is one thing (and they have boatloads of that) but I've never had the trust in a garage...

Thats what I figured! Thanks for the quick reply btw. I only moved it off of my M416 trailer because I'm doing the Vermont Overland Trophy in a few weeks and no way am I gonna complicate things by hauling a trailer through that four day event. I'm going to do a dry run with the RTT this weekend...

So, I moved my RTT from the trailer to the Disco II last night and my question is this: Am I missing something or is it a royal PITA to open and close this thing all the way up there on top of the SD roof rack? Is there a trick that I'm missing or is it just going to be difficult to open this...

Dan, just saw your latest post and wanted to talk to you about any interest in a possible seat/ride in my '02 Disco for the Vermont Overland Trophy. I'd have PM'd you but I'm on my mobile. If easier, call or text me at 617-909-0604. Will also pm you when back in just in case. Steve

Found this older thread while looking for RTT mounting info and this question comes to mind: How do you install the spring bars for the rain fly canopies when the tent is mounted up this high? Am I mising something here? I have this exact same tent and same setup truck-wise, (DII with SD rack)...

I'm a technically a member of of the Bay State Rover Owner's Association, but it's kind of died out. It actually comes and goes in cycles: people get motivated and do stuff, then it slows down. Would like to find a group to do some trials and camp with a bit more often. You a member of any...

Scott, spoke to Nate. Se when are we gonna rope him into a trail ride?

It is! Who's this?!

Posting here as I am looking for Disco II-specific feedback from people who have installed one of the major brands, such as IBS or National Luna in their Disco II. Wondering about reliability and ease of use primarily, cost is secondary to quality. Also, what battery make and model are you using...

This is exactly what I went with, fwiw. Thanks again! Steve

Gren, thanks for taking the time to post the link. Helpful all around. Long Dong Silver: First: Greatest Forum name. Ever. Second: thanks for the pic. If Darth Vader drove a DI, this would be it. Just kinda ended up banging it out. got a few closeups from a buddy that helped clarify things...

Was wondering if anyone might have a quick and dirty pic of how they mounted bush cables/limb risers to their Disco's Safety Devices (or similar) roof rack. I have the stainless lollipop-eye bolts that came with my set but am trying to figure out the best way to attach that to the rack. Drill...

Consider me in if this gets off the ground.

Guys, thanks a million for the input, suggestions, and offers. I ended up speaking to a guy at ARB. I learned that ARB designs it's bumpers around The Warn line. After talking too few other people on the phone I ended up with a Warn VR10000. At only $579.00 with a $50.00 Warn rebate it was hard...
