Hi everyone, wanted to introduce myself and say that this forum has been a great wealth of information on a vehicle that seems to not have much written about it. I live in Southern New England with my wife, 2 elementary school age kids and a large English Pointer. We do lots of long road trips and are towing an Opus 4 camper so this is a big upgrade in comfort and power from my 2014 4 door Tacoma.
I picked up the white Disco on Tuesday from a local BMW dealer. It has 61000 miles, good service history, the windshield has been replaced already along with recent lower control arms, front and rear brakes and brand new Michelin Defenders. I’m the 3rd owner and there is 1 year and 39000 miles left on the Cpo warranty.
First thing I did in my garage, with info from this forum, was an oil change along with fuel filter and air filters inside and out. Fairly simple even with removing undershield and draining from sump. Most trouble I had was removing plug from bottom of fuel filter but once I figured out the clip the rest was easy.
Few questions going forward. What site is everyone’s favorite for Oem accessories? I would like to order a rear cargo net and maybe 2nd row rubber seat back mats. Also will be installing a Front Runner rack. Does anyone have any experience using the clamp on mount over bolting to the roof? I called Front Runner and the person I spoke with didn’t know that was an option anymore but I think the Range Rover Sport mounts may work. Lastly does anyone have any experience with the Toyo open country at lll in stock 255/55 r 20? I would like to stay with a stock size and no lift rods.
Sorry for such a long post but in excited for this new project. Look forward to being part of this forum—Brian
