    It is possible to do, just wouldn't recommend it. SWMBO's back tends to bother her as well so I kept that in mind while making the rebuild plans. I've replaced the old leaf springs (they were bad) with RM parabolics and better shocks. Were also replacing the original seats (but keeping them)...

    Here is the main forum: https://discoweb.org/index.php Caveat lector homo novus!!! I have never been on this forum, yet I know many Disco owners that have. They have told me that out of all the Land Rover forums they've been a part of DW is by far the most..."obnoxious" for lack of a more...

    When it comes to old Rovers, which I love, a quote from Kandi (Two and a Half Men) comes to mind: "...it's like being in the back seat of a car driven by a really smart kangaroo. He may go up on the curb a couple times, but he'll get you there." So...not the best on backs.

    Sorry to hear about your friend, but lucky for you!!! Also - it's a bit silly, but the Disco is about the only LR uot there you can paint "Camel Trophy Yellow" without some ribbing from the Rover community.

    Disco parts are super easy to get here in the US - lots and lots of them are on the road. From price perspective they are no more expensive as the equivalent Toyota or other brand. I don't own a Disco yet I know they are extremely popular with the 4x4 and overlanding crowd. The Disco was THE...

    True. I've read about various methods used to secure them better when it comes to the older Series Rovers; don't know about the Discos and new. Many Series owners have added extensions to the front of their rigs. These get locked in by attaching the supports to the windscreen supports.

    KISS Remote Camping List

    It's been that way in pharmacies around her for at least a decade, just getting worse. Southwestern KS is by far worse. 12 years ago, when I was on the City council, we had a meeting with the Chief of Police and the County Sheriff; three meth labs had just been taken down in our town and we...

    The Official Bacon Thread. (Got your attention?)

    Here we go with California AGAIN... Can we drop the legal/health aspect and get back to the original intent of the OP and celebrate the deliciousness of BACON?!?!

    The Official Bacon Thread. (Got your attention?)

    Heard a discussion on the radio yesterday similar to this. They were saying "remember when they said eating fat was bad? So eat less fat and eat more carbs."

    D'oh!!! Never even thought about the need for a possible LZ and I've seen it happen! Good catch. The two legged kind are getting bad in SE Kansas as well. Was traveling through a remote are, stopped in a town of about 500, met a sheriff's deputy and got to talking. He had a row of handcuffs...

    While I do try to keep everything basic and simple my main issue is that I collect vintage and antique camping and campaign items! LOL

    KISS Remote Camping List

    At about the same age my best friend and I would toss basic style sleeping bags, a cooler for beer and meat, and fishing equipment in the back of his El Camino. He had one of those low shell tops for it - that was our tent. And we would go camping/fishing for a few days or a week. Never really...

    KISS Remote Camping List

    Well...without digging out a list... Everything has to be able to fit inside, or attached to, my ALICE pack with the exceptions listed below. The wife has a similar set up. Each pack contains what I basically carried in it while in the Army, mainly clothing and survival gear. Enough for a...

    what's with all the asian script posts? did we get cyber bombed?

    OB has had this happen at least 4, if not 5 times that I'm aware of. The 1st one I think was the Chinese one; wonder if EP is in for another 3 to 4 waves.
