My 95 Disco

[ColoDisco]

Been lurking and reading all the expeditions. Decided to start posting for a change. See if I can help out.

Name is Brad. Have a 95 Discovery with 180k.
Owned it for 2 years, spent the first year doing alot of maintenance and working towards reliability. Just started really modifying the past 7 months.

Mods so far:
Trailgear sliders with Por15 coating
Bullbar modified for better approach angle
245/75/16 BFG MT KM2 on stock suspension
CB

Mods in near future:
TF 2" lift
onboard air utilizing Audi allroad air suspension pumps and tank
Front bumper with winch
Rear bumper with modified exhaust to get rid of the muffler
offroad driving lights
rock lights

Here are some pics:

I am a Audi technician and do all but the fab work on my Disco. If there is anything I can contribute I will try. Look forward to a few extended expeditions in the near future. Heading to MOAB with my primary 4x4 club, frontrange 4x4 March 26-April 2nd if anyone is interested in joining us.

Very nice/clean disco!

Awesome disco! I am so jealous of the terrain you guys have out there

Lookin' good.

Is it a stick or auto?

 

[ColoDisco]

It is a Auto.
Anyone is welcome to come to Colorado and do some exploring!

At first I was wondering why you chose to use an Allroad compressor and tank, but since you are an Audi tech it makes sense. So are you a dealer tech? Certified, Expert, Master? I ask because I am an Audi tech as well, although currently unemployed due to the economy. Did you attend the Audi Academy? Nice looking rig!:smiley_drive:

 

[ColoDisco]

Yes. Certified Audi tech working at Prestige Audi in Lakewood, CO. I have 3 spare allroad compressors sitting around which all pump air still. Just have bad pressure sensors. I plan on hooking them up on a toggle to a tank which can be bought for $10 locally. Set up a pressure guage where it is easy to read.

I do go to training for Audi but did not go to formal training. I am a student of "it's broke and I am NOT paying that much to fix it so I bought tools and fixed it myself"

RIGHT ON! I totally agree with that, I'm a long time student of that school as well. However, in CA, where I'm from, that school isn't good enough for a resume. Are you guys staying busy out there or has work tailed off since in the last year?

 

[ColoDisco]

It is hard to say, we have been pretty busy lately but we are down a few techs, some quit in the past year and we did not replace them. I think we are technically still slow but with less techs here we stay pretty busy.

Glad you came over here also. Your Disco looks great and you wheel it!:wings:
