04' DII build

looks like there's some rust on the passenger rear door latch retaining screw.

Well , I just finished the rear tire carrier. As you know, a stock disco tire carrier will only hold up to a 32" tire, and that's if you flip it upside down. Running 35"s , this was a problem. The only available options are a tire flip mount from a couple of purveyors. So I decided to build my own. I also wanted to use the tire mount to relocate my cb antenna, which was previously on my front bumper. We rerouted the wire through the existing channel in the rear door.

Love the build! What engine management are you running with the new motor? Any CEL without the cat converters?

Same engine management, yes CEL but that'll be sorted soon. Need to find the thread pitch on the 02 sensors.

Zach from rovers north sourced the window guards for me. And yes, they're from mantec.

I was considering making something similar before I saw these.

A few more updates. I received a eezi awn bat 270 from Paul at Equipt. Apparently left handers are hard to come by, so I jumped on it when he put his demo up for sale. Here are a few pics
