Default Coolest "Company Vehicle" Ever?? (see pics)

OK guys...I wanted to share pictures of my "completed project". We have two of these now, both are Disco II SE7 models (2000 & 2001). Still doing some upgrades on my 2000 but here's the '01 with the following upgrades and service done in the last 3 months:

-new brakes (rotors/pads) all the way around
-new upper & lower ball joints
-upgraded front driveshaft
-heated seats kit/switch plate
-2" Rovertyme Springs with OME HD shocks
-Sumitomo 265/75/16 All-Season Tires
-Rear Ladder, Surco Half-Rack
-ARB Winch Bumper with PIAA's
-STI plug wires, MAF sensor, upgraded oil filter
-In-dash flip-out CD/DVD/LCD
(Last thing still to come is the Warn winch!)

**FULL VEHICLE WRAP - I had this printed by Shockwave Sign in SC (www.shockwavesign.com) and installed by Wrap & Roll Graphics (www.wrapnrollgraphics.com) - I can't commend both companies enough for the job they did on both my Rover wraps! As you can imagine, I get a lot of feedback driving my truck around all day for my company, SiteWhirks (www.sitewhirks.com).

Anyway, I just wanted to post these pictures as I'm not sure I've ever seen a Rover company truck before, and we decided to go with 2 of them! Thanks for looking and long live the Disco!!

Man, that is one sharp looking company truck. Love the ARB front Bumper and the Half Basket top rack.

Would you mind sharing the price range of the full vehicle wrap?

I have a white 97 DI SE. My wife wants to do it in a Zebra Stripe, I bet the vehicle wrap could do an awesome job on that. She wants to do a mobile catering service specializing in Pulled Pork Nachos and call it Nacho Mamas. I want a big BBQ Smoker type cooker to pull behind the Disco.

Talk about some cool write-offs. Maybe even get an old Motorhome and do big events. In cool exotic locations.

Thanks for the positive comments...and Danny, as for the wrap, you could probably get away with a $2,500 - $3,000 total job, including installation. If you're on the east coast, the companies that I mentioned can design it and come to you to install on the spot - it takes about a day total to install.

When I committed to driving a company vehicle every day (to help with marketing) I wanted something cool that I would really WANT to drive. So, I took the plunge and decked out the Rover. Yeah, it's not the most reliable option for a daily driver (and we have two of them!) but so far so good and it gets a lot of attention!

Looks great! I'd love to have it as a company vehicle! The wrap is VERY well done.

Not to be picky, and i just noticed this because I have the same roof rack, but you can extend the mounts further apart so it doest block that upper window as much if you'd like. You might like the look better, or not, but here's mine to show you what I mean:
