Angry Hello from Central New Jersey

hello everyone,
I bought a 2003 Discovery Series ll SE with 124k miles in Oslo Blue. I currently do not have the car atm since it is at the repair shop having a laundry list of problems fixed after taking delivery of it for a month. As always it has the 3 amigos come on and the usually problems that are associated with land rovers and 14-year-old cars. after I somehow get all the problems situated, I was thinking of adding a 2-inch lift, some nicer tires and maybe paint the wheels black. as well as a Baja rack and some spots or a light bar. looking forward to owning this intersting car and talking to all the new and old members here.

Welcome Tain.
Before you start spending money on extras, definitely sort out the required necessities on your new old Disco.
For starters, possibly replacing worn bushings, front prop shaft, brake pads and/or rotors, exhaust, differential oil, engine oil & filters, transmission filter & oil, gearbox oil, and the rubber GKN donut on rear prop shaft.
Good luck!

when I picked up the car it had the engine just rebuild with new fluids, brake pads/rotors, the bushings do not seem worn for the age. it might need new shocks and shock mounts on the front they are starting to fall apart. I was thinking of deleting the muffler and or the resonator.
