Hey guys!

I'm still searching for a Disco, but I'm down to basically two model choices. One is a 2000, the other is a 2002. I am 95% sure I'll be driving a Disco within two weeks... maybe less.

I'm wondering... what are the differences between the two?

Consumer guide says the following, I've at least found here that there are some differences in the transfer case's locking differential system, so I have to assume the Consumer Guide report is missing more...

"A new top-line HSE edition with DVD-based entertainment and navigation systems debuted this year, joining the base SD and midline SE. The LE model was gone. An optional Suspension Package for the SE/HSE added Active Cornering Enhancement. A rear self-leveling suspension was standard on seven-passenger models. Leather upholstery was standard on the SE and HSE, along with 18-inch wheels (versus 16-inch for the SD). A limited-production Kalahari off-road edition went on sale later in the year."

THANK YOU guys!!!

Pat

 

2000s have a CDL (center diff lock) better for off-road.

 

Thank you nite-train. The biggest question I have, is when exactly did they begin making the Disco 6 inches longer on the rear?

Man.. I once had a webpage of ALL the changes, year by year, but I can't find it now... I almost thought it was Wiki, but the version of the Disco page now is a very basic one.

 

They went 6 inches longer when the DII came out. All DII's are longer than DI's.
The thing with Discos, all DI's are the same, all DII's are the same. There are a few differences, but for all intensive purposes that is the way it is.
So in other words, a 2000 is the same as a 2004. Meaning that most body and mechanical parts are interchangeable.
2000 fender will fit a 2004, 2004driveshaft will fit a 2000.
I had a great link that listed everything you ever wanted to know about a DII, but it is not working.
Here is another one.

AWESOME man... GREAT info... thank you very much!!!

Dude... you are gunna be the first to see this sucker when I get it. I am SO excited.

 

I cant wait to see it Pat.

 

disco2fever, don't rush out and buy the first one you see..you can get them WAY below blue book price if you shop around (because of fuel prices).

 

Absolutely man, thanks for the advice!

 

Pat,
What are you planning on using the truck for, if for wheeling, don't go older then a early 01 so you can get the CDL, otherwise alot less traction and no possibility of installing lockers.
What are they asking for both trucks?

 

Sorry I've been away... I had some business to take care of, and the '02 guy won't come down, so I'm going with the '00.

Hopefully I'm picking it up this weekend or EARLY next week. You'll all get photos when I do!
