I was just one truck that crossed. The bridge was out.
I needed Tequila.

 

lol i was just about to ask if he is a coyote... i want to smuggle people across the border...

 

I'm not a huge Walmart fan. They wanted to put a Walmart Supercenter on the corner near my neighborhood. We fought them for 5 years and finally won. They really don't care.

But you can't beat their ammo prices.

 

Don't post often, but read them quite a bit. I must concur with the members who received compliments on their Discos. There is no greater feeling with regards to my vehicles than compliments from people who owe you nothing, want nothing, and don't know you at all.

Bought mine in October after wanting one for years, but driving Jeeps that I heavily modified. Wife wouldn't agree because it looked "Boxy". The ironic part is that she drives an H3, which is more boxy.

Nobody noticed my scratched up, stock, plain looking, black '03 Disco. I figured out what I wanted to upgrade, found the best prices, and started the build. I finally mounted the winch bumper, Bulldog Winch, Surco Safari Half Rack, 2 pairs of Hella FFs, Old Man Emu lift, and Nitto Terra Grapplers during the last month. My fender flares looked horrible, so they were sanded, filled, and painted to match. I had the whole truck clar barred, wet sanded, and buffed. Anyone with years of scratches and swirl marks should get this done. It looks like new.

Now, almost everywhere I go there are people asking about it, complimenting it, and a few offers to buy it. The biggest crowd I've drawn was actually at a Rover dealer. Went to pick up my roof cargo bag at the parts department and all of the parts and service guys hanging around came out and looked it over.

I also replaced the tired factory sound system, added video screens, a real subwoofer, a wood kit, and a second set of Land Rover plush floor mats to complete the black and tan look inside. I only use those when taking my wife out, who now loves the Disco.

Still going to add rock sliders with the subtle step, a snorkel, rear bumper with side exit exhaust, Powerchip upgrade, Borla cat-back system, and mount my Hi Lift Xtreme Jack, Axe and Shovel on the rack.

Sorry for the guys with rough views on Walmart. All I've got to say is that is the free market system working. Don't forget how Sam Walton built that company from one little store to the empire it is today. Nobody forced people to shop there, work there, and promote their stores. It was the public who begged the folks in Arkansas to start selling groceries, which gave us the Super Walmarts we have now. Personally, if they will just add a Sports Bar to my Walmart, I'll never have to go anywhere else again!


God Bless Our Troops.

 

I cant remember where I saw this... but this fellow made this one out of chimney pipe or some such and finished it off with a replacement "top". I think I like his design and materials better than both the safari and mantek and will prob try to find someone to fab this type up for me in the distant future.

 

I was helping my landlord change the ball joints and tie rod ends on his toyota tacoma and one of his friends stop by to let their kids play together and the friend looks over at my disco and walks up to it, she bends over looks underneath it and says, "These things can go anywhere right?" I said, "Yep".....

Then one occasion I was offroading and a tourist was driving a 2007 expedition through the same trail coming towards me, I pulled off to the side and told him not go from where I came from as he may need help getting pulled out...he was friendly and was like, "I guess I need your car, I feel like i'm in one of "those" commercials whatching you drive by!"

 

After our trip yesterday we were driving home and some kids walking down the side walk all pointed to us and were yelling at their dad to look, I cant wait to get all the goodies added to my truck and get my paint job, its going to be freakin' sweet!

A guy in the Great Lakes Land Rover Club made his own snorkel out of PCV pipe, used a 90* elbow for the intake, just turned it backwards and put mess over the opening.

Thats how people have seen Land Rovers for years.
For me its fits my lifestyle better than most all other 4x4's out there.

 

you should come out here, to Cali, where WWII veterans call you "Dude". 'excuse me dude. can you help me get my wheel chair out of park?', 'when I was your age, dude, surfboards were 14 feet long'

 

clear pvc used to make a snorkel... one of the guys in my local off roaders association made it
