I tell ya what! If I ever catch the bastards that run around sticking black stickers on everyones number plate I'll kill the bastards :cool:

Tens of thousands of people see the plates every day.... Why do we insist on hiding them:confused:

Just an observation!!!!

Cheers

I have always wondered also mike, maybe its a thing from the USA where privacy isnt as good as ours and a rego can give up a lot of info.

Nice Disco , it is worth the wait to find a goodie, our 98 is in similar condition as the previous owner was a retired service manager from...drum roll everybody...... State service manager for TOYOTA..:D:D true story
Log books look like those froma ship not a car, graphic detail on every fault fixed. Side by side with the fender and bonnets up they look like two different engines:D:D

[tempestv8]

That's one helluva clean engine bay! :eek:

I knew it, Toyota's don't break because their owners don't take their vehicles offroad.... :twisted:

The 1999 MY Disco I was the last of that model series, so you've go a fine example there - a collectable! :mrgreen::mrgreen:

You sure you want to get it dirty? :p

[Cap]

haha - yes the number plate thing is a habbit. You see, I own a motorcycle and like to do some stunts on it, and when we share these photos on a Mototrcycle Stunt forum we hide the plates, never know whos watching :nazilock:

Im very happy with it, just under 140k on the clock, went over it on Sunday spraying all the plastics etc etc, and she looks a beaut :D

As for its purpose, wife and daughter like to do some long distance traveling, no real hard core 4x4 or anything like that, but just trekking.

BTW, any Tasmanians here who can give me any hints on some nice spots to tackle?

just about anywhere you are liable to get it dirty :P

i like to keep my engine bay clean as a whistle as well....

One of the main reasons in the 4wd world is the potential of illegal modifications... every now and again vehicles spotted in the 4wd mags with their licence plates showing may receive a letter from DOT saying please bring your vehicle in for an inspection :eek:

Ummm no thanks... if she's not quite roadworthy i'll cover the plate.. if i know it's all certified and above board i'll leave it be ;)

Now back to the subject at hand... Nice looking rig there Stooge :D

[justinc]

Give me a ring at work stooge, 6229 1102 if you are in the Hobart region. We have a trip planned this weekend ...

(don't ask Stevo 62, He'll take you through some FILTHY DEEP stuff!)

[justinc]

What a thing of beauty,
now for some 235/85/16 MTR's, a guard trim, a 'fender transfer, some decent shocks, snorkel for those DEEP holes Stevo 62 is always spouting off about,

If you are in the south stooge, give me a ring (BH) 6229 1102, we have a small trip planned this weekend...

justinc, im in North Hobart. Ill be interested to catch up, but at this stage am only learning the art of 4x4 so am pretty much inexperienced :( . Ill give you a buzz before the weekend. Cheers

[Utemad]

Well done on finding a good one. I just spent months looking myself before travelling interstate for one. Although I am sure you will agree it is well worth the wait to get a good one:)

Holy moly!!! I dont think im ready for that kind of 4x4 just yet... everything looks great apart from the HUGE mud hole! :eek:

Ill be happy to head out to gain some experience but maybe not that extreme just yet ;)

G'day well done,

Just wondering if LR changed to white coolant reservoir's with the 98/99 models or do you know if the previous owner changed it?

Cheers

[Cap]

From what I understand the previous owner changed it, but im not expert in LR so cant be definite.

[Norm Mueller]

My 99 Tdi Disco has a black reservoir identical to the one in my "old" 98 model. Stooge's one looks like an aftermarket swap.

[sniegy]

Nice rig, very clean..well done.
The white coolant bottle "IS" a factory unit, from the last of the series 1's the reservoir coolant bottle changed color & manufacturer. It was also a stronger version which didnt split the seems.
Cheers

This is going to sound funny, but I find myself staring at the disco, looking at its sweeping clean lines with agression showing under its smooth facade. (in a Homer Simpson voice) Hmmmmm, discovery... arrrggggggggggggggggg :p

I fail to see the problem.

So when's it getting dirty?

[Cap]

Hopefully bloody soon... im planning on doing a 4X4 course as well, so im going to take it slowly but get it dirty non the less :D

[dobbo]
