The third row seats have outlive their usefulness. They were great for hauling my kids when they were young. My 3 boys are over 6 feet. Removed the third row seats. These seats are heavy. I think I raised my rear ride height by a 1/2". The newfound cubby storage area works great for storing the Scepter water can and my ArkPak..
Started working on the electric CDL today. I was going to tackle it over the weekend but I got a text from one of the local U-pull-it yards saying they got a 2002 Disco 2 in. I had to hurry over and rob the door lock actuators I needed to get the locks working. Any way, pulling the center console out is a biznitch. I got the brackets fabbed up and the cdl tested and that's as far as my patience would allow me to go. I'll get it buttoned up in the morning. Here was my inspiration. https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...nic-cdl-95757/
I think this little light means success!! Got everything buttoned back up today. Mounted the toggle down by the Hi\Lo shifter. Took it up and down JoshD hill with no dramas. Thing is a little mountain goat now.
after putting in new injector seals and two new (used off my '04) rear shocks was able to get the 2001 Discovery to pass Safety and Emissions. hopefully, that will keep it on the road for another year or two so my son can use it while in school in southern Missouri. the frame is incredibly rusted, Rover lived in Detroit for a long time, but the body and interior are in great shape. we'll be checking all fluids in the engine, transmission and diffs today since he leaves tomorrow.
put RTE coil springs and Fox shocks on my silver '04 two days ago. it sits maybe a 1/2" higher than before. previously had a Terra Firma 2" HD coil springs and shocks lift. the ride quality is so much better with the new setup. very happy with both Simon at RTE for the springs and the guys at Lucky8 for the Fox shocks. i'll be using this Rover to pull a U-haul trailer when we take my daughter to school later this week.
Last evening finished job of installing stainless brake lines on 2000 D2. Fairly straightforward job, and has improved the overall braking performance and feel after getting it bled properly. If you're planning this, make sure to watch the AB tutorial on youtube. I used the
which only contains four lines as opposed to the AB kit that includes 2 extras for the "jumper" hoses. Used Foxwell 510 scan tool for brake bleeding along with this
and got very good results by doing the power bleed only - modulator bleed was not necessary although I may go back and do that as well for good measure. Used 2 quarts brake fluid total.

Reason: format
Got some prefacelift headlight guards awhile back for cheap, but of course they wouldn't quite work with my facelift front grill. So, I decided to dice it up, re-shape the shell to work with the headlight guards, do a "Safari" type mod to it with some Seagull shape wire mesh.
For sure not perfect, but I think I'm liking the way it looks in general. I'm thinking the A/C fan motor may need some black paint now to, hadn't noticed it when it was in the garage, lol.
