Default WTB lots of Off-road stuff!!

Hi all looking for a ton of stuff for my new 2004 Land Rover Discovery 2.

All parts are for my 2004 Disco 2.

1. Plastic light guards for my 04 disco. Front rear etc.
2. Baja roof rack
3. Rubber floormats front and rear
4. ARB or like metal front bumper
5. Frame sliders
6. Rear ladder
7. 5 Steel wheels. 16"
8. Partial used MT tires.

I'm in Southern California so prefer face to face for some stuff.

First, why used? What sort of wheeling will you be doing? Are you a member of the SCLR club, might want to join.
How many miles on your truck, have you looked at my major service list posted at the top of this section, might want to especially the front drive shaft rebuild/replacement.

I would waste money on the plastic light covers, they don't hold up and break off.
Will you be running a winch, if so what about a lift to compensate for the extra front weight.
Frame sliders are not needed or made for a D2, only D1's and older vehicles.
What size tires are you looking for?

Well most of these parts i figure will be substantially cheaper if i buy used. I plan on doing some medium off-roading. Just starting out so we shall see how crazy i get.

I will look into the SCLR..my buddy who had a land rover told me about that too just the other day.

My truck has 65k miles and most of the 60k service has been done. I plan on rebuilding/buying a greaseable front drive shaft ASAP. Been reading a post here about some company called proshaft and the drama around that vs some other companies.

Here is my post about me on another section.

I like the look and think they would be better than nothing. Do you know of metal ones for the 04 disco2?

I'm looking to do a 2" OME lift springs in the front and Airbag spacers 2" lift in the rear. When the airbags go out i'll pull them and add the OME springs to the rear.

I did some minor off-roading and got stuck on a rock and scraped the plastic molding on the side of my truck so I figured frame sliders might be nice. I was looking at these.

So this is a big question. I don't think i can do over a 31 total tire circumference without lifting and replacing the bumper. So for now I'm thinking of getting 16" steel wheels and running a 265/70r16 MT or other aggressive tread. Then when I get the lift and front bumper going up a size to 265/75r16. But i will be able to use the same steel wheels and just sell my old tires. What are you thoughts?


Thanks
