I just bought a 1996 land rover discovery i find it to be very solid. i'm also trying to find the best lift kit for discovery that will allow it to flex very well without having to pay a large about of money.

 

3" coils from OME and some extended length shocks will give you the most lift you can get without new drive shaft. shocks and springs should run you around 6-7 hundred bucks. you can go cheap way and get some big bluse from DAP, and some spacers but you articulation will be less.

 

How strong is the discovery I saw a car accident with a land rover discovery and a tahoe and the discovery wasn't even damage bad just a dent and the tahoe was badly damage front end of the tahoe was crushed and the discovery just had a dented rear left side panel just how strong are the aluminum/steel body,steel frame of these trucks someone tell me please!

Thanks

tahoe = GM = teh lose!

made of plastic and the door panels are glued in. my cousin has a tahoe and it is nice, but i don't really like it. freaking push rod motors! gross!

 

YOUR RIGHT THEY ARE PLASTIC JUST LIKE IT'S HUMMER COUSIN THAT POS

HAVE DISCOVERIES AND OTHER ROVERS BEEN KNOWN TO COME OUT OF WRECKS WITH OUT MUCH DAMAGE
WHILE OTHER CARS TRUCKS AND LARGE SUVS ARE MESSED UP LIKE SODA CANS

I HEARD THAT ROVERS ARE BULIT LIKE TANKS
I AGREE MY DISCOVERY IS VERY SOILD BOTH BODY AND FRAME

HIT ME UP WITH FEEDBACK.

 

Does this answer your question about how "tough" the GM Hummer 2 really is?

i bet it was only doing like 20mph

 

damn the Hummer got F'D up the ram didn't even take that much damage
that's what happen when it's made of plastic.
rovers are made of real metal
discovery 1/2
RR classic /P38 ALL THESE ROVERS ARE SOILD AXLES.
defender 90/110
SERIES 1

 

that ram looks pretty messed up to me.

I do agree though, Disco's are pretty tough. We were sitting in my inlaws F350 crew cab long bed dually diesel and got backed into by a disco in a parking lot. Felt like we got hit by another F350 but looked back and it was a girl in a disco backing out of her parking spot.
