FWIW, I have a 2004 DII with 120k miles on the clock. I have Luke at The Shop do my regular maintenance (it doesn't hurt that he's two blocks from my house) the ONLY problem I've had with the truck has been a cracked coolant reservoir which cost me 60 bucks to replace. Also, the coin tray is...

Good stuff. Thanks again guys!

I think that's what I'm going to do. I can foresee circumstances where I want to turn sharply, regardless of the rubbing. My quandry now is, since the fenders or valence aren't actually rubbing, do I bother trimming it now?

My mistake with the terminology. And you are right, it only rubs at full lock, such as backing out of a tight parking spot or garage. During normal driving, no rubbing at all.

I took a closer look at the wheels when they were rubbing, and it appears that the rubbing is taking place on the inside of the fender by the inside portion of the wheel. It appears that the larger tires exceed the range of the stock bump stops possibly? I suppose I could adjust the stops to...

I do have a sawzall which might work fine, but this is a good excuse to get a Dremel :) I can use that for some other projects I have lined up as well.

You are spot on. It is indeed the lower black plastic part of the valence. Next up, go to Lowe's and buy a Dremel!

I intend to just trim enough so that it won't rub. Looks like that may just be the plastic bumper piece and not the metal parts of the fender.

This week I had an OME Medium Duty suspension lift installed on my 2004 Discovery II. After that was done, I had a set of BFG 275/65/18s installed. Now I'm getting some rubbing when I'm at full lock on the front end. This was not exactly a surprise. Instead of taking it back to The Shop to...

Here's the lifted truck! Rides so much better, and doesn't look half bad either. Next up, a car wash visit.

Thanks guys. The Disco is in the shop getting the OME lift installed now. Tires immediately after. I'm pretty excited to drive it!

I did pull the trigger on the 275/65/18 size BFG ATs. With the OME Mediums and those tires I am hoping for a firmer ride. I have the factory suspension and tires now, and at 120k miles, the suspension is like driving a shopping cart on springs. Not fun. The work is getting done on Monday...

Thanks again for the replies guys, it is much appreciated.

Good stuff! Thanks for the replies! Yes, I fully intend to avoid rocks for the time being. I don't have any armor other than the factory stuff, so I have no business in the danger zone. I plan to mostly do light camping and mountain biking, and will be primarily getting too and from the...

Hello everyone! My 04 DII has been in need of a suspension replacement for quite some time, so this week I ordered an OME Medium Duty kit, which will apparently garner me an additional 2-3 inches of lift. At the same time, my tires need to be replaced. I currently have the 18 inch alloy stock...

Nice build, and looks like you know some nice spots around this area. I've lived in Athens and more recently Norcross GA, but need to get out and get my Disco dirtier than it has been. You mentioned SOLAROS. I joined that group, but haven't been to any meetings yet, work just hasn't allowed...

Here's mine: 04 Disco II. Bone stock right now. Upcoming mods will be the basics, bumpers, new wheels/tires, armor underneath. I'm sure Luke at The Shop will give me some more ideas.

Thanks! Thanks for the tips guys. I'm going to inspect it this weekend more closely. If there's any doubt, I'll get it replaced. Wouldn't want to lose a transmission in my first week of ownership. Edit: Just went back and checked out the link from AntiChrist. That was perfect.

I am the proud owner of a slightly used 04 Discovery SE. It's bone stock at the moment, and appears to have been well maintained considering it is at 98k miles. I'm under no illusions here. I'm expecting to have to take care of maintenance issues with this truck, but I wanted to get things...
