Pat-Shuler's Books has Land Rover Mags. Like Land Rover Monthly and Land Rover Owners.
Everybody on here know that I am a BIG fan of the DI. I also like the DII but LOVE the DI.
BMW tried to make them more of a luxury vehicle that can go off road while when under LR's control they were a off road vehicle with luxury added.
Both are very good trucks, just that the DI is more basic in terms of mechanical and eletrical areas.

Landzu, I did wind up bolting the Tuffy box to the cargo floor. If you look at the "garage" album in my pics link I have taken photos under the truck so you can see where the bolts go through. I think you have a D1 right? The back is a little shorter than the D2 but there should not be any issues if you wanted to bolt yours down too. I also used some silicone on the underside for added insurance against any water/mud/fumes (for when I remove the resonator) coming up through the holes.

Yes I have a DiscoI and I did not bolt mine in ,I was afraid as soon as I did I would have
to put in a fuel pump.
I had to take the back woofer box and the pocket off the back door to
get mine to fit and with the tight fit it dosen't move much.
I did have to get a rear door panel to cover the holes from the woofer box
and make sure that the handle on the TUFF BOX did not mess up the new panel.

These are all great kits but you are missing some essentials... Warm clothes, camp stove and cookware, freeze dried food, lots of water, A BOTTLE OPENER, Cooler, beer, and maybe one of those aluminium drink cans with a screw off top to hide your "stash" or what have you!!! I also carry a machete and small baseball bat.

Slave7-He already has that stuff in a trailer in his garage. And instead of a baseball bat he has a hand gun.
Pat-Once you get your Disco it might be wise to get a used Disco axle to match your truck. i.e. if you get a DI buy a DI axle and put that under your trailer instead of the axle that you already have. That way you have interchangeable parts to keep your truck moving. And the tires will be interchangeable too.

Salve7 you're right I forgot to add what I keep in the storage bins:
Left side has a rain poncho, fleece pullover jacket, 20'x20' tarp, and about 15 bottles of water. I keep four bottles of water in the each seat back pocket of my WetOkole seat covers at all times.
The right bin has spare air filter, air compressor, work jeans and shirts for messy jobs, winch control, and any extra bottles of water that don't fit in the other side.

THATS MY TRUCK!!
My trailer is a late 50's Chevy 3/4 ton box on the original frame with coil springs and overload leaf's.
But what I really want is a LR pick-up turned into a trailer like mine was.
That is a nice looking trailer Pat. You must have canvas over it to protect the gear?
One thing that I have found is that if you have your trailer tires filled with nitrogen they wont go flat and the trailer is always ready to go.

I have a wooden cover that I have set up to lock down and it will
come off and set on two saw horses to make a table, and I have a canvas cover.
Its water tight and has two drains it you need to drain it.
I also am a card carrying member of REI,,,so the outdoors is my friend.
