Starting to Modify my Disco I
#13
Just got it back from the shop.
Installed Truu-Trac diffs front and rear, upgraded axles, and 3.9 gears. Can't really tell much difference with the True-Trac diffs on pavement, but I do notice the 3.9 gears. It pulls a little harder now, and acceleration (particularly going uphill) are noticeably better. Cruising on the highway at 75mph is still under 3000 rpm, which is good.
Finally found some shovel mounts that will work with my Thule roof rack system.
Next up is a front bar with recovery points.
Gotta find some time to take it out and play with it some.

I think the stock gears are 3.54
I've been doing a lot of preventative maintenance.

It was not custom, just "off the shelf."
I've heard rumors that African Outback is getting a new US distributor. (They're at SEMA this year, and are supposed to be putting US distribution in place.)
