Negative. Uwharrie, NC, USA.

Got about an hour and a half into the trail ride today and my buddy lost his rear diff we welded up a few months ago. I brought my spare stockers I had just pulled out. We got him back to camp, we got it swapped out, and went back out for about another hour and a half so far.

 

Spent the weekend at the Hill Country Rover Rally at Hidden Falls Adventure Park. It was a blast to see and wheel with so many different Land Rovers and Range Rovers. There was at least 100 different vehicles out there. Probably more.

 

Drove about 200 miles round trip this weekend (Birmingham, AL to Decatur, AL, then Pulaski, TN, Area, then back). Took the family (wife + 6 month old) to my in laws, and brought my dirtbike on the hitch receiver as well. Got to both ride the dirtbike and do some light off roading in the Disco on Saturday in Southern Tennessee.

Brought a big load of firewood back home as well. Only possible due to the massive amount of space in the back of the Disco.

I did a 75 mile round trip on Thursday this week as well. The Disco has been a real family work horse since I bought it. Really enjoying packing on the miles.


Yep, those are cow patties 🐄

 

I’ve had this brush bar for about a year now. Finally got it sandblasted, then cut off the brush bar, filled the low points and imperfections from the welds, and then painted with high build primer and flat black rust oleum. Installed it today with the help of a buddy. It is a bit tweaked but it’s pretty unnoticeable unless you start to look at it a little harder. Winch and aluminum fairlead to come shortly.

 

 

New here and to Land Rovers. Just bought a 2003 w/110k miles, with a newly rebuilt engine and transmission. The first thing I did was put in a 180 degree thermostat to replace the stock thermostat that was running high 190s and up to 204 idling in traffic. When I pulled the original thermostat off, it had a rubber seal or something dangling inside. Using blue European coolant. In the test drive it held 185-190 driving backroads, and got up to 194 while idling in traffic. Do these seem like normal numbers, or should I be looking elsewhere to keep temps lower? Radiator is a Nissens, replaced 20k miles ago.

 

Those temps are perfect.

 

Just picked this up. Anybody what to buy some rims.... There 22's

 

I was getting some weird cutting out of the LS lately since it got pretty cold in the morning. My afr gauge would jump all over and it would buck if I was cruising or die or almost die if it was idling. I tried to track the leak down to a fuel regulator or small vac leak, but I couldn't. The last thing I could think to try was the intake manifold gaskets. I ended up doing those and replacing a bad knock sensor while I was there. It seems to run better now and hopefully no more bucking as soon as it gets up to temperature on cold mornings.
it seems to run better so far. Not sure if it's faster, but I did hit about 90 on an on ramp from a 10mph roll right before. Given how it's a dog on the bottom that needs a lower 1st gear or a looser converter... I felt it was alright. Not a rocket ship, but a fun grocery getter. I need to do a cold start video. It sounds nice and choppy when I first start it up. My little British/American muscle wagon.

 

Wow. Just wow.

The wheels are the perfect complement to the snorkel.
