Had to get it into your garage before you got a letter from the HOA I bet.... I hated living in Houston. They'd send me letters telling me my Jeep was dirty, and leaving mud in my driveway..... Or they'd try to send me a 150.00 fine for leaving my trash can out over the weekend (it was trash day on Saturday), and yep sometimes I didn't get back until late Sunday or early Monday morning... I live out in the country now and HOA can kiss my (_!_) lol.

I am really looking forward to seeing this D2 Truck project. I've truly been looking into it and the use of the original rear door, finishing the back of the roof off with it, and the corners is just pure creative!

I am part of the HOA committee so that helps some haha, but the reason its in the garage is that i am i know the damn thing leaks from the sunroof. I need to re apply the windshield sealant or find a different way to seal the sun roof.

I will be taking more pictures and documenting the build more, as of right now i just want to get it running for some footage at SCARR.

2 weeks after I bought my Disco, my truck dropped a cylinder. Not needing 2 money pits, I decided to sell the truck and keep the Disco(seeing this typed out has me really questioning my sanity).
I still need another truck.
So...which one of you guys is gonna start doing the Trover conversions!?

If I was good at welding I’d go for it.

Day 3 of the Trover saga, I have found the chewed through wires causing the engine misfire, i had found the ABS issue on day 1 so this sums up the codes being thrown.

The size of that thing constitutes big game hunting! You going to get it mounted?...lol.

Had a woodchuck build a home beneath the radiator of my Jimmy one time, saw a bunch of papers/plastic/etc caught up underneath, figured the garbage had just got caught up in there going down the road, reached under to pull all of the crap out and when that thing ran across my hand...believe me...probably should have been wearing depends. Really don't know who was the most scared...me or him...we both came flying out from underneath there like OJ at an airport...or after a visit to Nicole's place...lol.

Brian.
