Inline thermostat mod complete.
I was serioulsly thinking of doing this mod since I'm now in Georgia. But I might have a job in Germany and with the cold weather there, I'm holding off doing this mod.

Added seat heater switches to my 2001 Disco.
FYI... If you have leather seats package, then you have the heater elements in the front seats.

My 1" K&N filter #62-1370 on the SAI pump. It seems to quiet the pump noise and the filter is washable.

I had the OEM Rims Powdercoated matte black. Pick up later this week. Looking for recoemdndations for new rubber. Have studded snow tires so just something for 3 seasons that is off road capable but still appropriate for city driving. Thanks

I did this too. Went with BFG All Terrains and been super happy.

You could do inline with a 190 thermostat. I am going to do that next time I drain the coolant.

Hard to tell from the photo what size tires are those?
Do you have another picture of them on the car from further away?

Ive been contemplating going from 18" rims to 16" rims and trying to get a good idea of how these look.

Thanks.

My favourite mod is the exhaust. Hard to beat a v8 symphony.

I have General Grabber AT2s on mine (LT265/75/R16). Does extremely well off-road, even in mud. Surprisingly quiet on the freeway. Very happy with them so far.
