I think I got the coolant issue figured out and sealed finally.

Parts trickling in slowly for front end. Doing tie rods, ball joints and drag link. I don't think the heads on my alignment machine can 'see' around the tires. It's an older hunter. Might have to reinstall the old tires for alignment ughh.

Next is an exhaust rattle that's been driving me insane.

Also ordered new single piece lug nuts. The ones on here are similar to the ford and Chrysler devil lug nuts.and are separating.
Very common for the cat converter heat shields to break loose and rattle, suggest you check that.

Yep. I've had it twice on mine and I've only owned it a year.

It could be that the ceramic medium inside one of the cat has come loose? Happened to my original cats about 5 years back. The rattle was unbearable at idle. Embarrassing, too, when I was stuck in traffic.

I had that too. A couple months ago I had a local exhaust shop weld in two new CARB compliant cats that I bought from AutoZone. After fixing that and the loose shield, no more rattles, just a purring V8

Replaced the bulbs in the dash so I can see the odometer and temp guage! Straightforward and something else crossed-off the list!

Quick camping trip with the wife and doggo to just south of the OR/CA border in the redwoods. Pretty fun trip other than it raining all afternoon yesterday. Disco did great and feels finally sorted! Bummer as I think I'm going to have to let it go soon as I've gone a bought a 300TDI 110 LOL. Not sure I can keep both with the limited parking in SF.

I have 2ea RAM and 2ea Takform AMPS mounts plates and the arms and attachments are all RAM products. I have 4 nice carbon fiber Joy factory mounts but they'll stay in the Range Rover. I'm still playing around with the configuration and I'll rarely have 4 devices mounted at once. But its cool to know I can.

Over the weekend I installed some new mounting options on the roof rack. Getting closer.
