Just curious what people have done to their Discovery and what is their favorite or best addition to the truck. I just bought my 97 D1 not long ago so I haven't had a chance to add much yet but I am really glad I was able to find a Haynes repair manual for it. That is the best addition to mine so far.

 

I just have a LR brush guard for now. Lots of additions in the future though. It will eventually look kinda like a Camel Trophy truck.

 

Most of the addtitions on my D2 were pretty much thought out and were all welcome. From the old man emu suspension with bigger general AT/2 tires, safari 5000 fog lights on my A bar, to the Benevento wood dash overlay,rear G4 light guards and oversize tire cover. If I had to choose the one that made me the most happy, I'd have to say the lift and tires. The disco is just too big a vehicle to be sitting so low and sport a tire size that should go on much smaller vehicles.

 

Don't copy everybody else. What do you plan to do with this truck, have you owned a 4wheeler before and have any experience???

 

My intent is not to copy anyone else's ideas. I already know what I want to add to my Rover but since there are so many accessories available I thought it would be interesting to see what others are doing. I am just waiting for time and money so I can start my modification and my wheeling adventures. I plan on an ARB bumper with winch, OME lift, ARB air lockers front and rear, and dual battery setup. But that's just the short list.

 

On my D2 it was the '04 CDL linkage, but you have a D1 with the linkage already.

 

Before any mods see what your trk can do stock. You WILL be suprised.

 

first thing i got was a Brownchurch full-length roof rack, made favorite modification so far. It separates me from all the grocery-getting Land Rovers around where i live, and it's actually really useful.

i just got a rear ladder i'm about to install which i'm also looking forward to.

as for favorite REDUCTIONS i would say removing the front aero spoiler

 

Another one of my additions was a good pair of binoculars. I keep them in the center console so that I can look into, um, I mean watch the critters when we off road. I also carry a machet' and a foxhole shovel. Recovery strap too.

 

Definitely going to do some baseline runs to see what my truck will do before I start with the mods. I'll be able to afford wheeling in stock form long before I can afford all the toys I want. Thought about the roof rack but more for a place to mount off road lights than anything. Haven't quite decided. Don't need a lot of extra room to carry stuff since it's generally just me in the truck or me and one passenger. I learned in the military how to pack light.
