Hello all. We are finally getting around to building a shop truck. I picked up a 2004 disco II. The previous owner attempted to replace the head gaskets and got in a little over his head.

PLANS FOR THE BUILD

Rebuild engine
Front and rear bumpers
2 or 3 inch lift
Rhino line the complete exterior
Roof rack
Lots of lights


Here are a couple of before pic's:

 

You can go ahead and send me the cattle guard bumper when you don't have any other use for it.

 

That thing came off in about ten pieces.

 

We got a lot done over the weekend. The engine is out. I was actually impressed with the engine. The heads were re conditioned. The block was hot tanked and decked. The rocker arm, lifters and push rods all new. I was not sure why it was not running. Then I took the heads off....












Not good



This piston has seen better days

 

Well, I tried.

 

"Lots of lights" lol.

I got a fevah! I gotta have more lights!

Good luck with the build.

 

Need more cowbell.

also, don't rhino line it! White is the best color!!!

 

I think LineX comes in white...

 

I have a guy that uses a "rhino liner" like product. He can do any color. I am going to do G4 orange. I am trying to post pic's of the engine tear down, but it says I have to have mod approval. I must be a newbie, lol.

 

Don't worry the mods are pretty quick around here. G4 orange will look great. I'm considering going the same color as the Camel Trophy truck color for mine, since those are the first Rovers I fell in love with.
