Smile Happy New Year Disco Owners!

Welcome to 2013!!!!
Presumably your all having a ball drinking a 12 pack and watching the ball drop lol
So what are your plans for the near year? What do you hope to accomplish with your Disco this year?

Me personally, my goals are:
- Already started this project but Completely revamp of brake system. All new calipers, pads, hardware, SS brake lines, new master cylinder, brake flush maybe replace my brake servo. Sometime this year I will be upgrading to Akebono pads and EBC rotors. Ill keep my current rotors (all brand new basic rotors) as backup for emergencies.

- Upgrade front prop-shaft with recommend fully greaeable shaft, maybe replace rear rubber flex coupler to.

- Upgrade Thermostat, coolant flush, replace all belts.

- Engine flush and Shell Rotella engine oil, super-sized oil filter, new oil pan gasket.

- New All Terrain tires and new Winter tires

- Fix check engine light and 3 Amigos

- Service CDL

- Flush Transmission fluid and new gaskets and filters

- Oil Undercoating

- MAYBE if money permits a full size Safari Roof Rack and 6 Hella lights (4 front roof and 2 on rear roof)

-MAYBE 2-3 Inch suspension lift kit.

If money permits lol. Mods are last thing on my to do list so..


Well look forward to hearing from everyone and STAY SAFE THIS NEW YEARS DAY!

re: - Oil Undercoating

That is automatic on mine. Maybe the fuse link is blown to the stealth oil ooze pump....

I have done a ton of stuff to mine over the last month as I started bone stock. So far I have added TR front and rear bumpers, a 11,500lb winch, Brownchurch half rack, Pro Comp light bar with 4 Hella 50FF lights, Saudi Grille, 265/75/16 Toyo Open Country M/T on TerraFirma Anthracite rims, 2in OME Heavy Duty lft, Moab retractable awning and Mantec snorkel.

Next up is finishing my TerraFirma rock slider installation, a rear work light, a bull bar on my bumper with two Hella 4000 lights, two more 50ff lights for fog lamps, and then the outside is complete!

I am then going to remove the headliner and part of my dash to run all of the wiring for the auxillary lights and winch and to install new speakers and a stereo with built in nav. Then it is time for a head gasket job, new Stage 1 cam, head and intake port and polish job, upgraded radiator, 180 T-Stat, and finaly a new high flow Magnaflow exhaust.

Waxoyl the undercarriage, much superior to just an oil bath.

A happy new year to all as well.. as for my Matilda... well I am going to drive her, bounce her, get her wet, get her dry. I am going to continue to change her fluids, replace broken r breaking parts and look for ways to improve her without changing her. Oh and enjoy every agonizing moment I sit in her as the gas station attendant fills her with the good stuff regardless of its price.

Happy New Year. Looking forward to 2013. I just finished the HG, plugs and wires, all the coolant hoses, the t-stat, and the serpentine belt. I will finish the fluid changes, and do the front drive shaft. I will then be done with the majority of the major service list. Then I will look into a 2-3" lift and rock sliders.
