Speaking of which , have you ever ask yourself how they come up with design for the Discovery?
So here is what I come up with.They developed it from Popemobile.To learn more about Popemobile click this link.
http://jalopnik.com/5054965/the-evol...the-popemobile
1982 Brits build Popemobile on the Range Rover Clasic as a donor vehicle.
You just have to see beyond.Here I posted picture of the actual 1982 Popemobile.(Tell me about top heavy...)Under is photoshoped same picture.
Remember these roof rails we all have .On the actual popemobile they were on the side , and their purpose was for body guard to have handle while stand on the running boards...

That IS a lot of screwing (and not even the fun kind lol). So why so many? Was there just too much movement in that area? I would have thought that maybe half that would have sufficed. BTW, still my favorite thread on here. As I don't have the time, money, or knowledge to do something this big I have to live vicariously through your build lol.
