Hello from Alabama
Hello from East-Central Alabama.
New to Land Rovers in general, and especially this site. On initial review, looks like LR’s are chock full of problems but there seems to be a wealth of information and knowledge on this board to make life with an LR easier and enjoyable.
I don’t have an LR yet but looking to get a Disco for a second vehicle. My plan is to build it for long trips with the wife and kids to do mild overlanding, trail rides, camping, and sight seeing. I spent a lot of time crawling the deserts out west when I was in the Marine Corps and would love to get back out that way.
Any leads on a good Disco, advice on issues to look for, and recs on maintenance and upgrades would be greatly appreciated.

The key words here are “long trips” “wife and kids”. Just my opinion, but I would be looking for a well maintained LR3 or LR4. Certainly not a D1 or a D2 (1995-2004 years). Of course, there is the new D5 which is a mixed bag so do your research. As far as where to buy one, they can be found all over the web. Plenty of forum members here can help out also.
Out of curiosity, what drew you to the Land Rover family?
