As much as possible, at the 2018 HCRR event I ended up in the hardcore group (only D2) and I kept up with em just fine. Since then I lifted it an additional 1inch (3inch total lift), and I hope the tail end will do a little bit better at clearing obstacles.

Hey Best4x4, nice truck you have there. I'm collecting parts to start my build. I bought 16" wheels. What size are your tires? I am undecided on 245 or 265.
And just curious, do you still own all of those Discos?

Did you re-paint the hood black? I'd love to do that to mine because its all cracked and blotchy.
Any tips? cheers

My Kalahari had the CDL nipple, and sorry the Kalahari is a limited # vehicle with limited # one of a kind parts which makes it totally stand out against a standard SE D2. I know this post is from 2011, but I just had to comment on this!

I have the original blackout on the hood. It's still in decent shape. My 97 XD on the other hand = it's hood blackout is getting rustic looking lol.

The black fuel door was an idea I had. My original fuel door paint had clear coat damage when I bought it from fuel spilling on it I guess over the years. I had a flawless Java Black fuel door on a parts truck and I thought it would be a nice contrast to the rest of the Kalahari. It's been installed on it since the day I brought it home.

I've had the chance to buy 2 other Kalahari's, but the sellers on both did not stand by their word. They sold them either as I was driving up to get it, or to someone else who offered 500.00 more even though we had already agreed on a price. I'd absolutely love a white one, but it would have to be in excellent shape because I would have to sell either my 04 D2 or my 99 D2 which has been amazing to own and drive. I really wish I had a GoPro at the time of Hurricane Harvey, because the 6 times I went thru water over the hood without a snorkel that 99 D2 kicked some serious *** and never even got a drop of water in it!
