Bought a disco 2. Lots of broken stuff. Rusted window regulators in Arizona lol. Going to try and plastic weld body panels to save some dough. Subs are missing and so is all of the air suspension. Going to try and restore it all. Had a 4” terra lift. Way too tall for me.

 

Yesterday, but I put new tires on. 265/75R16 Falken Wildpeak A/T4W. Impressions so far are great but I haven't been off road with the yet.

 

Love that color!

 

Still waiting on these head bolts.

(My daily driver Routan has been warning me that the transmission is on its way out, and I will not be repairing it. It's been a great vehicle for 12 years but not worth investing in to me. My kids are out of car seats so I'm leaving minivan life behind me.)

So more pressure to get the d2 in good shape!

While waiting for the head bolts I cleaned all surfaces and dunked all the parts I could into the new ultrasonic washer. I'm still just using purple degreaser and in between dunks using a small pick and scraper to get off the chunks of crud. Inside the heads (under valve cover) wasn't too chunky.

Next I might take off the oil and transmission pans and get them cleaned.

Or get the brake hoses installed and relube anything on calipers and grease front end while wheels are off.

 

How is the noise level on pavement, at speed?

 

Very quiet actually. I was pleasantly surprised as was the wife. She was afraid they would be noisy but they aren't.

 

Got a head start on my weekend project, couldn't wait!! 2/3rds done


2/3rds of the front steering drag links

 

Cool! Make sure you adjust your toe-in when you’re done.

 

Got some new rock sliders installed by a local rover shop. I got an amazing deal on them so I jumped on it. I'm very happy with the fit and finish but I haven't gotten used to not smacking my ankle on them. Overall I'm very pleased with the deal.

 

Those look great! Any idea what brand they are? Bolt on or weld on?
