This looks amazing. Wish I had the cash. I’d buy this in a second

Wild. How did he do the aftermarket steering wheel?

I ask because that steering wheel accepts a spacer for those who want it closer.

The rebuilt Portal axles alone cost more than a used Disco......

But might have upgraded the engine to match the rest of the vehicle....

I love the front bumper aside from some of the upper cage portions in the middle.

Greg Davis is local to me, here in the Charlotte area. The rear bumper he designed and sells for the DII is legendary in the DII community. A Google search will yield result on discoweb.com and probably here too.

High volume long run production steering column shafts are often similar with measurements/spline pattern, so you can likely find a hub spacer. I had a Nardi spacer a few years ago for another vehicle. The key is that these are generally machined made for aftermarket steering wheels like Sparco, which have a six bolt pattern. They are not machined for the discovery wheel (which is currently held on by a nut, which will be used to mount the adapter). Second, the pass through wiring does not usually include the air bag or radio controls. Just the horn. So if you want a spacer and an aftermarket steering wheel, there is someone out there selling what you need.......

And I agree with you. I would like my wheel closer to me...

I hate this thing so much. At a certain point (that was exceeded) it just isn't a D2 anymore.
