As you may recall a tree fell on my DII and squished the hood. Well after looking everywhere for a black hood I finally found one. I got it from Paul Grant and only had to drive 640 miles round trip to pick it up. My family now officially thinks I have lost my mind but I got sick of look at my ssad cross eyed truck.

Thumbs up to Paul Grant who drove 150 miles to meet me. I guess he has tons of parts so if you need anything email him:

paulgrant@me.com

 

I have to agree with your family but I can relate.I drove 3hrs round trip on monday to pick up an alternator from push-n-go.Just owning a used lr makes you alittle crazy.

 

lets see some pics when you get that new hood bolted in

 

Yeah I will snap some pics, right now I am in the middle of replacing a rear hub but its so cold out I am procrastinating. Note to self buy that propane heater off of craigslist. I'm tired.

It was worth it as most hoods I found were damaged and or cost $150 to ship. My local yards told me theycould not recall the last time they had a good black hood in or a decent shape hood in general. Then say if I went with the burgundy hood from will tillery for $400 shipped it would cost another $400 to strip and paint it. So for $200 plus $70 of my own gas (thanks dad for the full tank in the pickup) I got a better hood then I had in the first place.

 

you gonna flat black it?

 

HEY. Go buy your dad a tank of gas!

 

I was wondering what a Series or Defender hood thread was doing in the Disco section.


Glad you found a replacement bonnet.

 

I put a roof on his house, maintains all his vehicles, and dug him a leach field,

 

Leave the hood off, it will look cooler that way, and even better if you put some neon lights under there too.

 

not neons,.. those new LED light bars from Wal mart
