Going to black out the hood this weekend and silicone the sunroofs shut forever! Tired of the leaks!

Hopefully this will hold her for awhile. Some people including myself was wondering why I would keep dumping money in this rig. Well I also drive an M3 so I'm not the most practical guy around.

Haha!! You must be getting that "what in the world are you thinking" voice in your head from my wife I just keep dumping more & more money into mine too. I think she is past the head shaking & now looking for intervention from a specialist for my LR affliction.

My wife HATES wheeling. It scares the crap out of her, so she doesn't need to know what I'm working on. Plus working 2nd shift I get to work on it while she's at work, and what goes on at my buddies house on Saturday's is need to know as well...and she doesn't need to know! She would s**t kittens if she knew I was going to torch the spring perches off, weld on big *** shock hoops and run coil overs! I keep her in the loop when money is spent and on general maintenance. Everythign else I have gotten really good at buying, selling and trading to support my addiction!

Ha no my wife's idea of getting all this done. I think I may also have the shop convert the exhaust into a true dual exhaust system while they have the cats off. Already have one magnaflow muffler thinking maybe just running duals out to the sides

My wife has been in tears multiple times over little ruts on dirt roads. Where's your Camel Trophy spirit woman!

Keeping the wife in the dark is the best option.
But I am afraid that the day I die she will sell the Disco for the cheap price what I told her the parts and mods cost.

Definatly harder than normal but rides like dream when loaded and can take what ever pot hole is in the way.
In Mozambique driving to town is the same as a drive over the Rocky mountains. Our roads are terrible !!!!!
