It was a 'what if I' moment that I just went with...

Lowcoe........give 'Scouts a good listen, he has very good advice.

Disconnect battery, as well as place your ground clamp near your weld area, you don't want to be welding on one side of the truck & grounded to the other.

The 03 and 04 do have a ton of problems, but at least with an 04 you can get the consolation prize of a locking diff (Early D2s had the lock but no way to engage it, 03 didn't even have the lock at all).

If I was building a vehicle I wanted to keep a long time, I would consider an 04 with a Chevy swap. The 4.6L motor is terrible.

Whatever you do, DON'T do anything like the pics in this thread. https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...mel-cut-39163/
Absolutely horrible job by everybody.
I'll try to dig up some pics of mine.

Here. Unfortunately I don't have a closer pic but I made a camel cut on the rear side of the front and rear wheel arches. Can hardly tell if I do say so myself. 265/75/16 tires on a 2" lift for reference.
