Default 95 Disco Dream Build

I'm about to have the gaskets redone on my 95 Disco that's already pretty moded out. I'll list everything out below. The HG blew a couple of years ago and it has sat every since. Planning on redoing all gaskets, fluids, etc. I have a around 4k I can put into this build right now so I'm wondering, what would you all do with an extra 4k to drop into a build? I don't want to go crazy with stuff like engine replacements, new interior, etc, but I am open for suggestions. List of mods is below.

Exterior
Front and rear custom steel bumpers, with custom tire carrier on the rear
Rock Sliders
Custom roof rack (I'm open to replacing this) built to hold RTT, MaxTraxx, High Lift. Light bars do need to be replaced
Wheel wells trimmed w/ 235x85x15 with good tread

Interior
Aftermarket Radio, stock speakers
Everything else is stock

Drivetrain
Defender Brakes
Tom Woods DS with Spicer UJs
Everything else is stock

I wouldnt mess with a bumper mounted tire carrier if your only going to run a 235.


you should also do the headgaskets first before spending that 4k. Its not a d2, headgaskets generally dont fail on these so theres a good chance it needs a block

The modifications I listed are already on the truck. There are a few more I left off.

The reliability of the D1s over the D2s is a major reason why I bought this truck. Fingers have been crossed for a while that the hgs are all that failed. The failure was pretty text book, so I'm hoping worst case i have to rework the heads.
My main goal with this post was to gather ideas and get opinions on what everyone would do with an extra 4k to throw into their rig. Kinda excited to hear what everyone would do!

I am selling my D1 and I have a lot of D1 parts like a full leather interior and 5 boost wheels and sunroof let’s. Let me me know if you want or need anything. I won’t hurt your budget much.

Sorry for the delay, These are old pictures I have cleaned them up a lot, both fronts and both rears I have the plastic center consol and the console leather top in a couple colors, I guess I have a complete interior out of a black 98 LSE. I will take better pics.
