So i was going through my 04 disco se thoroughly and i have decided it needs a new frame. Its a northeast salt truckand the frame is not just flakey but almost rotted through in some parts. It will make my trip to orlando florida for school, but while I’m there, i want to get it reframed. I wont have access to a garage (campus housing) and i need to save up some cash to do so. Any suggestions or thoughts on whom or where i can get it done? Thanks folks. I want to keep this truck for a long while.

 

If you have a shop perform this work expect it to be around $10k +- $2k. If you are headed to Florida just get a new rust free disco and swap over parts from your old one. You can get a good used one down there for a lot less than a frame swap.

 

Are you attached to this specific Discovery? For example, I've owned mine since I purchased it new in 2004, so I'm willing to spend more money to fix than replace.
If you just want a Discovery, then getting a different one while in Florida is far more cost effective.
A complete reframe job will cost more than you can buy a Discovery with a good frame in Florida.

rent a space and do it yourself is another option

 

Thanks for the thoughts. I may just bite it and get a rust free and swap what i like about this one. Im not too attached to this one as i was my first one, and 02 that i put a lot of blood into, but maybe a different one would be the best bet and maybe keep this one for parts.

 

Mine just died, and I am going to keep it for parts and possibly reduold the engine and put it in a rust free DII.

 

That sucks. I really like my disco

 

Is it just the rear 1/3? You can patch that in fairly easily.

 

No. Unfortunately the entire frame. It will last maybe a year more but barely.

 

This. Do this. Check prices in Florida, its nutty cheap like 3-6k for a very nice D2.
