Hi all!

I just bought a 2004 Disco 2 SE7, 126K miles.

No major problems but will start in on Disco Mike's 60K list soon. I've been having fun just commuting in her. It does have leaky rocker covers but the only code pulled is a bad O2 sensor and it's not eating coolant (though it still has dexcool in it). I've installed an Ultra-Gauge and will see what other demons I might have. The PO broke the tabs on the instrument surround so I'll have to source another one of those. Was thinking about replacing the original black with a tan one for a two tone look. Interior-wise that's it though.

Goodies that came on the truck are a full Voyager Challenge rack, ARB front bumper (sans winch), 16" black steel wheels with appropriate rubber, 2" OME lift, grease-able front driveshaft, 6 Hellas (unwired).

This is my second Land Rover having owned a D90 for about a year. Miss that truck but this one will haul my girls around better.

I'd like to connect with a good group in the Seattle area to go 4 wheeling on the dry side (not interested in mudding) with my kids. If anyone has recommendations...

You gotta wonder why someone was taking out the instrument cluster... make sure all of your warning lights work, the cluster lights self test in key position one. if one doesn't light up look for black tape or disabled lights.

Welcome!

Check out the link to the WABDR: Washington Backcountry Discovery Route (WABDR)

I'm planning on doing the southern stretch of this when things dry out.

I have a black interior and was thinking about going two tone as well! Glad it's not just me

I've been thinking about doing the WABDR for years on a motorcycle but time away from the kids was tough. Now I hope to take 'me with!

The three amigos popped into say "Hi!" yesterday. Luckily they couldn't stay long and left after the first stop I had to make.

Lol!
