Default Eliminated the Sag...

Finally had a day to get under the truck and replace the OEM springs with a set of OME Springs and shocks. Big thanks to the guys at NorCalLandRover Club for support of spare parts, tools, tech, etc.... Gained a solid 2" over the stock set-up which was likely part sag...
Truck is looking stout and proud!

I removed parts to the bumper and cut the end caps, it looks better.

Took her out to the beach for the first time. Didn't worry about airing down with the 255's and it did pretty well. Next up...recovery gear. Hoping to replace the rear door panel with something to mount some recovery ramps or something. And the more I look at my truck, the more I wish I had gotten 75 profile tires.

Changed the oil using shell rotela. From the looks of the oil I drained 5k really is the max I'd go.

Installed modified center dash facia, double DIN Kenwood DNX7140 Navigation system, repaired original amp, installed modified Disco II subwoofer assembly (the amp is mounted to the backs of the subwoofers with Epoxy. and tested it.
Also added infrared rear view camera in the rear bumper.

Sounds spectacular.

The modified center fascia is a tight fit. The cables from the climate control made it tough to move into the lower position. I had to epoxy in steel mounting tabs; the original plastic ones broke off. I also had to cut out the back of the ashtray. It's a bit shorter now, but I don't let anyone smoke in my vehicles anyway.

Ordered two new rear bumper signal lights, couldn't find them for less than $44. Didn't use ebay, I hate that site and pay pal. Oh well, I needed them. Old one were beyond saving. Came out to $100.

Quick question, I know I need to buy 4 tie rods, just not sure of how many left and right. I saw it here once but can't remember. Help, thanks.
