Default A cold day

Thought you guys might enjoy a picture of my Discovery while I am out working. On this day it was -10. I am still in the process of my build so it has changed a little in the last couple of weeks from these pictures.

Thanks guys! I am happy with the build I am doing so far. This site has been great! I have found many of the mods I am doing on here, plus great info and help along the way while doing them. My goal is to do all of it myself. I used to build cars when I was in high school and my early days of college, but then I got out of it for 20 years. Times have changed but the Disco still has enough old school to it that I can figure it out.

The tires are Toyo Open Country M/T 265/75/16 on TerraFirma Anthracite Rims with a OME 2in lift. I will be finishing my other grill up soon so I can install my 11,500lb winch (did not want to butcher a Saudi Grille). Also adding a bull bar to the front so I can add two more lights, plus going to put some fog lights on the bumper, and a rear work light on my roof rack as well. I will be removing the current recovery points and adding standard D rings both front and back. This is the rig I am in the process of putting terrafirma rock sliders on with tree bars, and a Jerry can/jack holder. I just added a light bar to the top the other night, and a Moab retractable awning to the back. I am going to finish all my external additions including light mounting before I run my wiring for everything. This way I only have to rip into the dash once. I am also adding some interior mods. I have added a mount for my Windows Surface tablet, a wired in mount and charger for my iPhone. I am also adding a dog barrier, Hella map lights, a new stereo with a built in navigation unit, new speakers and amp, a water tank, table mounted on the back of the door, a drawer system in the cargo area and a few other odds and ends.

I like to do amature photography and use a Canon 50D DSLR and host the images on photo bucket. I have been taking photos for about 5 years. I mainly shoot nature photography as well as hunting photos of my bird hunts. I have even got some in a magazine before which was cool to see.

Here are a couple of examples from Yellowstone, Africa, and while hunting around home.













Here is one that was in Plains Game and Fish last year.

BTW I corrected my tire size. They are 265/75/16 and are TerraFirma Anthracite rims.
