gamekeeperjames Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 hi guys, this is my first post on the forum. im a member of various other land rover and 4x4 forums but stumbled across this site when performing a google search. well had my disco since june now. not done an amazing amount to it yet. first job was to fit my cb radio and aerial. i then got new shoes for the old girl. these consisted of 235/70/16 insa turbo sahara's and white 8 spoke steelies. i then decided to be a cheap skate and make my homemade snorkel. used some 68mm guttering, silicon, flexi hose and some rubber edging on the cut part of the wing. i have since taken the rear seats out, sprayed the rear windows and put up a dog guard and ply boarding behind front 2 seats making it into a "commercial". i did this as i wanted more space and practicality for working on a pheasant shoot loading up with feedbags etc. i will finish this of by putting rubber matting in the rear load space. i have toyed with the idea of giving the old girl a lift but as its my daily driver and im a student, i cant really afford to fix the problems which come with the extra strain the lift puts on certain parts ( so im told). oh also have a light bar that needs connecting up. have got rebel diffguards and also finally got round to fitting my newly painted rebel steering guard, ( which was fitted on xmas eve) with the expense or loosing skin from my knuckles oh the joys. am happy with the way my disco is at the minute. im toying with putting a guardian tubular bumper with a bar but this will happen when and if funds allow. oh wired in 500w power inverter yesterday well heres some pics. enjoy heres how she started off addition of tyres and wheels and a weekends shooting addition of homemade snorkel me getting ground out on my diffs ( bad times) windows sprayed and rear borded after a good clean from offroading at the weekend and steering guard fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hi-lift handle down while the weight of the vehicle is on it is very dangerous. They can self-ratchet down with possibly disatrous results. Nice Disco though Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
