Used her as a freakin' camper!

 

I installed the Atlantic British towing adapter. It was not cheap, but damn it was easy. Also, I put in a new cabin air filter. These little jobs are fun.

 

In the middle of a head gasket job. So far no surprises and I was fortunate that it was leaking from the rear water jackets to the outside. So far no signs of anything wrong with my liners.

 

Friday, put on larger spare tire adapter from British Atlantic. I also attempted to install a crutchfield sony single din but had the wrong adapter. I realize now that i own an alpine amp!

This weekend will be the continuation of A/C troubleshooting as well as properly installing my new radio.

 

Finally got around to welding up some brackets to help move the mounting holes of my driver seat. Gained a total of 3.5" of backward movement give my 6'1" fat *** all the leg room I need now. I tell y'all, I was back and fourth about doing this because of the trouble involved and I was starting to tell myself that the leg room wasn't to bad. After all is said and done I'm extremely happy with the results. Night and day difference, I my legs feel really relaxed as well as my arms on the steering wheel.

 

I recommend the $100 replacement radiator on eBay. I put one on my 03 D2 3.5 years ago,......still going strong. SEVERAL people said "Don't do it",......but I couldn't find anyone who had actually bought one and then had a problem with it. It looked IDENTICAL to my OE Radiator in every way when I got it. Happy with it so far.

Installed one of the "Shapeways" split replacement roller for D2 window regulators yesterday. So far so good. Install went fairly quickly. Ill post up some pics of this soon. Cost was about $16 for 3 split rollers shipping included and took a few weeks (I selected the cheaper Ship them later method).

 

Changed out the Coolant overflow reservoir since the one I had was leaking like a stuck pig. While I was at it decided to flush the coolant, that was a pain in the ***.

 

Took my 2000 TreK to get a new headliner ~!

 

Throw up some pics afterwards. This is a fix that every Discovery owner will likely encounter at some point.
