So I'm guessing this topic has been covered for many of you guys so apologies upfront; it's basically new to me.
I just bought my first disco a few weeks back, 98 Disco1. Pristine rig; only 77k miles on it and babied by a soccer mom throughout the years. Only things I've had to replace are some oil cooler lines and tranny lines, gasket here and there. (I'll start a build thread soon enough):sombrero:
So here's my intention for the post. I will be doing basic overland as a means to get away from the city. Nothing over-kill on wheelin and def. not looking for a crawler set-up. I really want to maintain both form and function of the vehicle. I have come to love the camel trophy trucks and their set-up; especially for that era they ran them. For the record: I do not in any way shape or form want to "pose" this rig as a camel trophy truck. I do however want to integrate some of the same design and product to achieve both form and function.
I need some help on where to locate some of the trucks exterior products. Namely the front bumper/brushguard (Brownchurch/Mantec?) Snorkel? I realize those trucks were equipped with the 200TDI but is there a way of running the snorkel closer to the window frame? Also...steel wheels? were they the NATO wheels? Roof rack; is that the Saftey Devices? Anything you want to add, I will appreciate..any links you want to post, I will read.
