Four By Land's Discovery

[FourByLand]

That's where I'm at! Not too sure who the grey haired guy is. The only fixed up trucks out here are Mike Hallmark's Epsom green kitted Disco I w/ rack, mine, Rudy Barrow's kitted black DII w/ rack, Randy Banis' fully kitted D90, and a stock G4Challenge DII running around. Oh and you and your nice DII.

Next time I go out I'll let you know. There are a lot of really nice trails and places to wheel/camp within about an hours drive from where we live. I often get to play tour guide for my friends with 4x4's who live in LA.

Yeah, I was going to sneak over there and take a peak at the Rover but my wife told me that you guys have a gate over there so I guess my recon mission will be a little more envolved!

That's funny Because I haven't seen any outfitted Rovers except one in the immediate area, I guess I will have to keep my eyes peeled! Let us know when you head out, we are ready to go!

you are right. Green and Black does look good on a disco!

Yeah, I'm pretty much in love! Actually I professed my love about a certain green rover to my wife the other night and then I found out that it's parked right around the corner from me...

:Astrologist:

.....and not just because 50% of the 10 or so Land Rover colors offered for the Discos were some variation of green.

Well it is gated but the main gate stays open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. for deliveries and such so if it was before then you might have been able to catch a glimpse of Sprout. I actually live right on the corner in so I'm always parked closest to the exit.

There aren't many. Come to think of it there are a couple more I can think of but I don't know the owners personally (incl. the G4 Challenge)...there is a crazy looking dude with a Series that has a grey camo job, no top, and a set of bull horns on the hood like Boss Hogg. There is a white D1 with a mild lift and a rack that belongs to one of the guys that works at the Sears Auto Center by the mall, and a lifted w/ big tire RR Classic SWB I've seen a couple times.

Weird huh? We live in a small enough town that I end up seeing and meeting the other like minded Rover enthusiasts.

As long as the wife doesn't get jealous you and your green love machine have nothing to worry about. :wings:

Let's do it! When do you want to go? I need to get another track rod since mine is good and tweaked from my last run. I won't need my rear locker, so i can fix it another time. I think we can get Nightmare Gulch in the mix too.

So whaddaya say Louis and Amit, shortly after Christmas? A gift to ourselves?

Okay. Let's see what's good for Louis timewise and we will get a little meet and greet run going.

I was kinda starting to feel like there weren't any at all. I saw your photos from Crazy Otto's and figured you were just passing through.

Weird huh? We live in a small enough town that I end up seeing and meeting the other like minded Rover enthusiasts.

Yet I only saw one, very weird.

MUHUHAHA!!! I think that there is something brewing here. I have started to contact some interested parties but I think the 30th is going to be the date I'm shooting for. Post X-Mas pre New Year's.:victory:

Andrew,

Thanks, I am trying to keep my mods tasteful and somewhat uniform, next will be the ladder and the flooring so it will be easier to get on top of it and to get things off of it.

Louis,
The Disco is looking good. Get up here to Northern AZ and we'll do some runs in Sedona/Jerome area.

I see that you are in the Air Force. I assume that you are using the auto hobby shop on base? I think that is the biggest benefit that I miss from the Navy. We had an awesome shop with inside bays, outdoor "shades", long term project areas, and a great paint booth. You could use the shop and tools for a couple bucks an hour. I have honestly thought of starting my own do it yourself business based on the military auto hobby shop principle. I just have to win the powerball first. I don't think it would make enough to be liquid.

Louis - the mods you are doing on your Disco look 'top-notch'!! You got some mad skilz.

Very capable looking rig without going over-the-top. Hopefully someday our off-road paths will cross.

What do I spy with my little eye.....

.....someone who needs a new bumper!:shakin:

I had a blast on the first of our many adventures.
