RE: 04 LRD S, info please?
Your rig sits and performs nicely. Thanks for the pics. I defenatly want and need 285's so I will go at least 3' to 4'.I can also build the stock disco axle to be stonger for gears and lockers but I'll stick with a lift and bumpers for now. Any good spots to get a lift,bumpers, winch, steering/gas skid plates, snorkel, rack and anything else it needs.

Lift and bumpers first is a good starting place. RoverTym (RTE) is a great place to start looking at serious off road parts. Give them a call with any questions, or tell them your intentions when purchasing and you'll be sure to get the right setup. I'd stay away from the ARB front bumper. It's approach angle is almost as bad as the stock bumper. Compare to the RTE and it's a crazy difference. Safari Gard, and TJM are other places to check out for bumpers. If you want a little more performance from the front bumper you can trim the area in front of the tires where the fogs go.
For the winch, Warn or SuperWinch are great choices. Get one that is rated for at least 1.5 times the weight of the vehicle (6,000lbs.), so we're talking at least 9,000 lbs. capacity.
Racks can be tricky since there aren't a lot of options and they're all expen$$$ive. SD (Safety Devices) made the rack for the Camel Trophy and ones purchased through the dealer. They are no longer in business and the racks still command premium preices (at least $700 for a used one). Hannibal, Brownchurch and RoverRacks are other options. You will also lose at least 1-2mpg with a roof rack.
Look into getting diff guards too. There are bolt on and weld on options, and some (like QT Services) offer protection of the flange for the driveshaft.
AtlanticBritish is your single best place for parts, but there is also Rovers North, Rover Connection, and Expedition Exchange. RoverLand Parts is great for used parts.
