Greetings all -

During the past week this forum has been invaluable as I've started down the path of Disco ownership. I live in AZ so there are tons of trails with year round accessibility. I was in the market for an off-roader but something that A) doesn't cost a fortune, B) is easy to customize and C) had the type of mods that I was looking for already complete. Wrangler's seems to be made of gold these days, not keen on Toyota's BUT have always had a special place for LRs, particularly DII's.

SO, found one from an original owner that ticked the boxes. Really enjoying it - except for a steering fluid leak that just started - taking it as a sign she likes me... welcome to the club, right?

Cheers

 

post up some pics!

Starting point



Brought home and cleaned up - a few upgrades complete (Hella Black Magic 500s, Warn Fairlead, etc)

Hellas wired to high beams

 

Let me tell you, the path to Land Rover ownership is frankly uphill AND you bought a DII which is like a fallen tree about forty hands wide in your way. Tisk, tisk. Well, good luck with that.

Welcome aboard, the DII section is alive and well and the most popular. (Gee, I wonder why?)

 

A few pics, making progress.

- Full internal detail

Also launched a build thread for anyone who cares to follow the trials and tribulations of a 2003 DII.

 

My sentiments, exactly. I wouldn't curse somebody that I'm pissed off at with 1 of these things.

 

Chubbs I guess nobody knew I was kidding but hey. I am happy to be free of my Rover, no lie. Nine years as a daily driver and wrenching on any Rover that came into the driveway was a long, long time. I don't look down on anybody for trying though.
