Thanks, It took me some time. I used Arm-A-Seal to clear coat it. The veneering was easy. I just traced out the original door panel and cut it with a jig saw. The walnut handle was not to hard either. I'm a furniture builder at heart.

Sorry for the resurrection but... I'll say my LED lights inside and out. Very different than other Disco II's out there. I got the extremely bright LED hyper flash effect when using the turn signal but it lets you know that... HOLD UP FOOL! I'm stopping and turning! :laugh:

I've done a lot to my Rover. But my favorite upgrade, by far, is the Alex_M hood strut. Instant success and satisfaction.

So far it's my Auber gauges for water temp, oil temp, oil pressure and fuse panel https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/landrov...513554af4d.jpg

In that picture is also an alarm that goes off on low oil pressure or high water temp.
Also a GROM unit - microphone drilled into the dash, and usb port drilled into the switch blank
And the ultragauge installed into the face of the ash tray. Secret compartment behind :)

By far my inline thermostat mod. Something so satisfying about seeing low solid temps and not worrying about temps climbing strong on long hill climbs.

Inline thermostat mod complete.

Such a nice engine compartment ought to have a plenum filter.

Can you provide a link or information on how this MOD was done?

Thanks In Advance.

Thanks, yeah I have a buggy wash really close to the house so moment it's back from wheeling gets power washed everywhere. People usually don't believe me when I'm getting to trails that I'm going to put my rig through them.

Although I placed mine in the center of the fan cowl this is the write up that prepared me for it. Inline Thermostat - LAND ROVER CLUB V.I.

My favorite is my GTO Electric fan and Ron Francis controller. The engine runs so much better without the fan on it.
