:)Hi all I am new to all of this. Just picked up my disco v8 manual and am loving it it on duel fuel and its a 96 model its great to see what can be done to these disco's and this forum is a great source of information, it helped heaps before I found one to buy. Mine is pretty much standard but that will change in time:cool:
Regards

Not very dramatic photos, these are taken on one of the Port Phillip Piers that I work on occasionally.
95 D1 - 300 TDI
TJM 2" springs, OME shocks
Performance wheels with 25mm offset (which work well for turning circle).
BFG All Terrains - 235/85-16 (just put these on a few weeks back and I like them a lot). Pushed the rear guards out with new brackets and a small cut.
Found a same size spare on ebay which fit with 5mm to spare over the bumper.
TJM bullbar and Lightforce floods
Airflow snorkel
A few other bits and pieces like rear light / antenna mount and roof rack - both home made.
Bonnet black is matte vinyl - hand cut to fit. I thought this would be more for show but it really cuts down the glare from the silver.
Inside has some purpose built racking in the back with small left seat removed for long items. Have to keep the other seat in for the dog.
Shown with my work trailer (also home built) with Disco wheels and stock tyres.
Work to do soon - get rid of the silly side steps and trim and make a set of sliders out of 50x50x3 steel. New brakes, etc etc - beast is getting old and needs all the attention it can get.
Had a major engine rebuild about 40k ago by AMV and running well - really racks up the k's with work and is very reliable with super regular oil/filters service intervals.
