I did the same but found I had to have it almost fully deflated so I can use the door easily... So now I get to carry around more tools 🤣

New plate to correct the switch area being completely busted. Very quality piece from Rocky Mountain British


Got out last weekend for a little bit to check out a new area to camp and run the dogs

What headlights are you running? The stock 02 lights aren't cutting it for me and I'm looking for new ones.

I'm sorry to admit that they are Jeep headlights. Oh the shame. But they are LED and much brighter at night. I saw a photo years ago of a Disco that had them, so a few months ago I designed my own plate that will accept the Jeep lights with the Rover mountings. Those are the prototypes I had cut - they need a little fine tuning before I do another set for the wife's truck.

Not a fan of jeep by any stretch of the imagination, but I would like to see before I crash into one. Could I see the design?

I bought the cheapest set of lights off ebay to get the pattern needed for the lights to fit into. Trim rings were an amazon purchase. 3d printed some spacers so I could aim the lights down better. Galvanized steel plates in the end painted flat black. The rings on the lights are white but turn amber when the turn siginal is on - that's kind of cool. I just drove 5 hours in the dark and even the cheapo $35 ebay lights were much better than the 25 year old originals.

Still have some work to do solid mounting the solenoids and better mounting the compressor, but got tired of dealing with plastic line issues due to exhaust heat and re-ran my locker lines with copper tube town to the frame. Good enough for a weekend of wheeling.

Replaced the shuttle valve switch and came away with a 'lesson learned' that I didn't figure out until after sweating like crazy for a good 45 minutes: Use wood and a hex socket


wood to support the abs module so that your hands can focus on meaningful work
