Today was mold-prevention day for my DII:
  1. I fixed/reattached the sunroof drain - no more leaky ceiling
  2. I fixed the rear driver-side door (back, vertical guide was *inside* the door) - no more wind noise and carwash "shower"

This was on Saturday, but I am just now posting...

Went to a local off road park with a friend in his modded-Ranger (lift, A/T tires, etc). My Disco is bone stock other than CDL, running on summer/street tires. Had a great time, even though my left fog light lens got cracked in several places departing a mud pit, and my rear bumper cover was partially removed (sitting at a 35* angle to the bumper) entering a mud pit. The close up of the right rear tire was taken when it was about a foot off the ground. As soon as money allows, new tires, a lift, and different bumpers will be in order.

Changed the oil for the first time since I got the Disco. Used shell Rotella T 15w 40, but had to use the normal Mobil Filter (autozone was out of the 1 301). Rig is running really smooth, and the oil that came out was horrible.

Not today, but on Saturday I broke a CV running a trail at Conclave, then removed and replaced it with a part I was able to source right there...total downtime 6 hours.

Changed the fluid in the T-Case and the Rear Diff. Front Diff has a slow leak in the pass axle seal so have to fix it before I change it.
Gonna rebuild the front driveshaft this weekend and flush the brake fluid.
Getting ready for ol man Winter.

Hey Antman, did you take the headliner out or do you know a secret?

Coors, thats a great looking SE7. Go Flyers!

Checked to see what kind of coolant I am running, and found the orange. Looks like a system flush is in my future.
Also, used a can of "right stuff" gasket sealer to try and glue my lower windshield rubber to the glass so I don't get a sloshy dashboard this winter. Leaving the broken cowl as-is if the gasket sealer holds things water tight.

I did not drop the entire thing. I remove the visors, oh-sh*t handles, and the documents holder/overhead sunroof button panel. Dropped/bent down the front and worked halfway out of the car facing backward from the front (i.e., standing next to the front door hinges.)
