I bought the lug nuts from L.A. Wheel and Tire, through their ebay store. Their physical store is in Chatsworth, California. They are DII lug nuts, 14x1.5 mag style with washer. I can verify that they fit the DII alloy wheels, because they are currently keeping the stock alloy wheels on my DII.

Today was a busy day for me and my Rover. Did some last minute offroading, and my front bumper (which was already beat to **** from an accident before I got it, and all of my trail driving) decided to come loose, except for one bolt on the passenger side. I'd already planned on working on her today, so the first thing I did when I got home was pull the plastic bumper cover off. Then I went after the spare tire carrier. Flipping it was simple enough, and my 265/65r18 spare now clears the bumper. Then I went back to the front end. There was a little bit of rubbing on the wiper fluid reservoir, so I decided to address that. After straightening my front bumper support and removing a bunch of hoses I don't need to wash the fog lights I no longer have, I was satisfied with the space I have between tire and reservoir. I also noticed a break where the fill neck meets the reservoir. It will hold fluid, but it will also allow mud and water from the trail to get in... hard to get clean windows with dirty water.

And since I was already in the garage with tools out,and covered in dirt and grime, I decided to go after my Jeep. Took some pictures of it so I can sell it, tried to get it started, and pulled out the CB so I can mount it in the Rover one of these days.

Motor mounts and transmission mounts were sheered in half.

So we made some new ones.

Small amount of work done, scored cheap headlight/turnsignal/taillight and hood hinges.
The hood closes now and doesnt look weird.

that a wild guess, and the first two guesses at replace frozen guide pins wins.

Rear brakes after a caliper froze. New rotors pads and calipers look so nice. And now it's also inspected for the year!

Still debating the HG.

Had a vibration around 60mph. Felt like driveshaft. I just rebuilt the front one a month or so ago. So eyeballing the rear....I noticed the rotoflex was installed backwards.

Arrows go towards the flange.

Flipped it and the truck is smooth as butter.

Took my '03 for a drive to the dealer since I was in the area just to see if they had the new Discovery in stock and they had two. Parked my '03 right next to the new ones and read the window stickers. 4 cylinder turbo (Ford Ecoboost) and a 9 speed automatic plus tons of electronic chotskis to go along. Could not tell if it has a low range transfer case. Took a glance back at my 2003......then back at the 2015......thinking man my old Disco II looks pretty good. Then looked at the car next to the new Discovery and it was an Evoque. So compared to the Evoque the new Discovery is a few inches taller (say 3-4") and a little longer. Looked back at my 2003 thinking "My 2003 still has the original Land Rover DNA whereas these new ones are aliens". I AM GOING TO KEEP MY 2003 UNTIL I CAN GET ANTIQUE LICENSE PLATES PUT ON IT !!!" Sorry Tata even though I love my 2012 LR4 I want to keep the heritage look of my 2003. Anyone agree with this?
