Passenger fog light and surrounding area is broken on mine and u dont want to spend 700 on a metal bumper, so I guess this is what i should do.
can you give me some detail about the camel cut? Thanks in advance

I like how the factory aux2 switch illuminates like the other stock switches.
What is the wire which runs from hood to rack is for?
It looks super cool, I already want the same thing on my d2! Lol

Yup! Although in my case I also use them to try and prevent me from ripping my rack lights and snorkel off of the truck.

Removed my blower motor, cleaned squirrel cage(bucket of leaves, literally), cleaned the motor and re-oiled. What a difference it made.

Limb risers. Go to Home Depot | Lowe's | Any hardware stores, buy an appropriate amount of wire cable, turnbuckles, etc... and put it together for about $10 or so.

I was getting away from my disco due to bad cosmetic after doing some stupid side walk climbing but now I start to think it makes my disco badass to have some broken/dented parts lol only thing keeping me away from falling in love with her again is the lock actuator. And i need to do camel cut to the bumper? I dont know if it is the correct term, i just saw it few posts ago lol
Today, I cleaned the trunk! It had so much nasty stuff from the last camping trip! tent, chairs, tubes etc have been sitting there for maybe 2 months!!

Looked over a 02 D2 that was towed to my house late afternoon to do head gaskets on due to overheating. It's a friend of a friend. To rule out possible clogs we had run it with white vinegar to break up deposits when it was left at my friend's house the other year. I've been given permission to swap whatever I want from it to mine as the owner just wants to sell it once it runs. Battery cover turnbucke swapped already, and might trade both "A" pillar mouldings as these actually touch the windshield unlike mine, and maybe driver's "C" pillar moulding since mine is loose. Already machined heads from my old engine and gasket set in the cargo area. Just need to come up with a parts list for when I do the job next week on my vacation.
