Default The wait is going to be tough.

So I finally found a disco to buy. It is a white 99. I had a pre-sale inspection done by a land rover shop in the area. The mechanic seemed very thorough. Took the anxiety down a bit. I have a good list of what items I need to address and or keep an eye on. Now I have to wait for it to be shipped me. Probably around Monday. It will be my daily driver for about three to four months until my wife and I move to Ouray CO.

Love the drawers in the back. I have a 7 seater and I just can't convince myself to get rid of them just yet...

Don't lose your car in a snowstorm... you might not find it; there's a lot of white on there!

Not sure why the person painted everything white, but it does have nice accessories. Not sure what front bumper that is, but that's a greg davis rear bumper.

You may have a problem changing headlight bulbs with the current bull bar.

I will put a giant orange flag on it.

Did not think of that but wouldn't that be common with bull bars in general?

It does look pretty snug.

I made my comment when I was looking at the pics of your beautiful truck with my iPhone.

Now that I have taken another look at them with my regular monitor.... it appears you may have room to slide out the headlight assembly from under the bull bar.

Sorry for the confusion.

I had not really been looking for a rig with so many upgrades but this one was in my range and passed a pre-sale inspection so it seemed like a good choice. They had done most of the things I would have wanted to do eventually.
