Cool. Good job!

Do you have any pics of the parts installed before you reinstalled the console? It'd be great to see it mounted on the transfer case.

 

This is the only pic I have of the parts assembled. Its kinda hard to get a pick of it installed in the trans-tunnel because of limited space and junk being all in the way. But once you make the brackets, its real obvious how they mount up.

 

Today I removed the single second row seat for easier ingress and egress for our little hound.

 

how did you get the headlights so clear? and how do you keep them that way?

 

Today was clean and degrease the undercarraige, give it a good wash, and refresh the grease on the front driveshaft. Still need to clean out the dust from the interior. Yesterday I replaced some of the body mount bolts to put on running boards, really didnt like the look so I am off to find some rock sliders that can be used as steps normal sized people in the family.

 

I guess looks can be deceiving. They're really not perfect at all, maybe 10 footers at best, my phones camera seems to make the whole truck look a lot better than it does up close. Although, when I bought the truck about a year ago, it still had a full push bar with wrap around headlight guards on it. It was rusty and bulky, so I ditched it, but maybe they helped shield the headlights from some of the UV over the years?

I do plan to polish the headlights inside and out eventually, if/when I upgrade them to HID. I have had good luck with headlight cleaning kits in the past, like 3M. Just gotta make sure to get one that has a UV clearcoat to apply to the headlight once you're done polishing it. A good polishing and coating job can make a headlight look great for at least 3-5 years IME, and anybody can do it with a lil elbow grease. Just takes patience and a lil time, depending on how cloudy or yellowed they are..cracked is a different deal tho, no fixing that

 

New PowerStop Pads and Rotors and KYB shocks all around. The old parts where all factory Land Rover so 21 years old. The shocks had zero bounce back.

 

I just bought the same set of brake pads from Rock Auto. Stocking up for future use. They are a new product to me. I am interested in learning how well they perform.

 

I have them on my Daughter's GX470 and they have been great. Of course the GX had 2 warped front rotors so anything would have been better. They do not dust as bad as factory pads which is a reason I also wanted them on the Disco. These LR pads have basically ruined the finish on the wheels. The rotors were also super thin so they needed to be replaced ASAP.

 

JoshD, thanks for the feedback.

Great job on the CDL actuator by the way!
