Consider it, you could make a few bucks off it/trade it if you decide not to use it. Seems to be a hot subject lately..... I will bolt in a gen IV LS instead.....

yeah I know that it's a time issue on pulling the parts mostly. I seem to have a ton of stuff to do between the army, the rovers, my wife, my daughter, part time job and the MGB.

Oh and took the DII for a drive with the new shaft she is nice and smooth now


Next up SAI and a good detailing. Even though the interior was cleaner than any of my vehicles lol

I hear ya. I know you would've jumped on it if you had a chance.

I'm really curious about the SAI stuff, no experience with it so this will be virtual OJT for me.

I may still but I only can disappear for so long from the office for lunch.

Never screwed with it either so it should be good for some entertainment value.

I'm in it for the entertainment.......all the way.

Just had another first time DII owner fork out some coin on a front driveshaft. If I'd known beforehand I would've pointed em your l8 way.....dang.

The 40 mile commute went great with the new shaft in today nice and smooth. I found it curious that the Disco actually drives better and handles better with the 4wd connected. The steering seemed smoother and more predictable.

For sure. Out of the dozen or so times that I have been 2wd disco, I agree. Far worse as front wheel drive only than rear, but better with 4.
