purchased five new tires, Pirelli Scorpions AT Plus 275/65/18, and then drove down to Charleston, SC.

averaged a little over 14.5 mpg the entire way. hate to say it, but that's the best highway mileage i've seen in some time.

now, if i can just find a beach near by that i can drive to and drive on.

 

Thanks.

It's Fabryka from Poland.

Thanks Dervish. Very nice front bar. Never heard of them before.

 

I’ve just been racking up miles in my 03’. About 1,000 miles in the last 3 weeks, trips for work, some family travel etc.

Bought a dirtbike a while back and have been carrying it around on a hitch carrier with the Disco.

Decided to preventatively replace the radiator and flush the coolant Friday. That went off mostly without a hitch.

I did a 500 mile round trip from Birmingham, AL to Bowling Green, Kentucky. I cruised around 65-68mph, ran a lot of the way with windows down and no AC. Ended up with 16.7 mpg on that tank of fuel. I’ve got aggressive off road tires, thought that was pretty solid!

 

I had a pine tree jump behind me while I was backing into a camping spot over the weekend.

I had heard of people "shattering" their back bumper before and thought that was kind of weird. Now I understand. Sounded like I'd ripped the truck in two! Good thing I have a spare ready to go

 

So, got the wheels and tires done, painted and put under the Bogeyman.




Wheels are from Raptor 4x4 / Tyrex in Italy.
16x8" with ET 8.
Painted with some Polish rubber paint, and I might redo at least few wheels some time later to fix my fumbles and as the LAST spray can wanted to start spewing out drops of paint so I didn't have enough to completely fix that.

Tires are Toyo open country M/T 285/75/16 equivalent of 33".

 

I finally got a day to myself so I took care of a few Rover projects I've been waiting all year to do.

1) Added some heat shielding to my exhaust manifolds:

2) Added some steel heat shields to my catalytic converters:

3) Added a front parking camera to compliment the rear camera I added several years ago:

Nice job on the heat shielding!

 

That is the best looking Disco I have seen in a long time. I love the monochrome look with the pop of color on the wheels.

 

I bought another one, a famous one at that too!
