I got them from Lucky8 for $266 shipped.

I've got a whole lot to do on the front but right now I am struggling getting an inner pinon race installed so I need to find a nearby shop with a press. I'm not even sure what kind of shop to call.
Any auto shop will have a shop press. If they don't then never take your car there.

That's not terrible, but crazy priced(not by L8) for what they are.

Thanks! I absolutely never take my truck to any shop but I will at least bring the diff carriers to one. Thanks for the response.

I found that a nylon pipe had melted through, which might explain the odd vacuum leak I've been seeing. I'll delve in tomorrow after the sun rises....

Default fun with my disco

Today, I took out the shield under the engine and cleaned up under there. I've had my 03 D2 for a month now and that's one of the things on my list. Wasn't too awfully bad but I want to eventually get all my leaks sealed up. Last weekend, I put some 8mm Magnecore wires in and bosch plugs the week before that. My next priority is trans fluid and filter, diff oils, transfer case oil and then flush coolant system and replace with new antifreeze. Never a dull moment with a Disco.

Tried to pick up my valve covers and intake manifold from the mechanic so I could clean and paint them. I've been waiting on him to start working on my head gaskets for 2 weeks. I'm starting to get a little peeved. I haven't driven my truck regularly in 8 weeks now. He's doing gaskets, injectors, high torque cam, rhoads lifters, and a port and polish while he's got it. I cant wait to get it back.

However, I've got parts piling up for when I do get it back. Terrafirma steering damper, aftermarket temp gauge, dual electric fans, I still need to make a shroud.
