Terrafirma HD steering rods and Tom woods HD driveshaft this weekend. Just ordered yellow urethane bushing from Rovers North. Currently have Britpart steel rear bumper, Safari Snorkel, 3 inch Terrafirma kit with extended stainless steel brake lines, upgraded rear driveshaft with u joint conversion, CDL transfer case with D1 linkage, new goodyear ultraterrain 265 75 16 tires with more to come. Next is detroit truetrac front and rear LSD, upgraded axle shafts and front steel winch bumper.

 

[QUOTE=Kalliste80;723774] Yes definitely, thanks. My ‘99 D2 had an issue with that after the PO had just had the headliner replaced somewhere.

 

Pulled the required parts off my disco and started lifting the wife's this evening. Only go the rear done. I'll do the front in the morning. Proved you can lift the rear without removing the wheels.

Also, if anyone is curious what a Disco with rear springs in the front looks like:

 

Installed a Nissens Radiator, Britpart 180F Thermostat, T-pipe, and new air filter. Removing the battery compartment and airbox on each side makes removing the radiator super easy. I also avoided getting coolant all over the place by doubling up some thick garbage bags and opening it up inside the engine compartment when disconnecting the hoses. Took about 3-4 hour total.

 

I did front and rear diff fluid, engine oil, spark plugs, ignition wires, and swapped to an OEM 180 thermostat.

Previous owner had been using a MotorRad cream colored stat - my temps went from 200-205 around town to 188-192.

Next up is transfer case, transmission filter, and fixing my AC and sunroofs before the summer.

 

Finished the install on the wife's 3.5" lift. This is the same lift I did a write up on a few years back. The "$120 DIY Lift" or whatever I called it. You can find the link in my signature.

Rides great, steers better than mine ever did for some reason. Happy all around. Wife loves it.

Not the greatest welds on the shock towers by plenty strong enough for what it is. I got rushed pretty badly at the end cause we were a half hour late to meet some friends for a hike.

 

I should also update said post. Parts have changed somewhat for it.

 

Well I got stuck for the first time today

 

@RossN99 Mud slicks such fun

 

I haven't driven Myrtle in a few weeks so I did an "Italian tune up". I dumped some Berryman's in to half tank of fuel, drove around in second gear at 50MPH with the revs at 4200RPM for about 30 minutes.
She semi kinda purrs like a kitten/mountain lion now. lol
