Post a pic of your disco and mods

Hi Guys,

I'm currently doing some OffRoad preparation on my old Disco 300 TDI '94, which was from my father and is "part of the family" since then, so I decided to come here since I need some help.

The idea is to prepare it for some touristic OffRoad courses as well as some trips/expedition, etc. Nothing extreme such as trial, etc.

I've installed OME Nitrocharger Sport +2? springs and shocks (it was still with the original suspension which was quite saggy) and am thinking on putting the TOUGH DOG RTC steering shock (is it a good idea?) and more appropriate tyres (currently it has Michelin Latitude).

And it's really regarding tyres that I need your help. I want something more robust for this purpose but nothing with "bigfoot" looking (that ones getting too much out to the wheel arches).

I've been reading several opinions about this subject and was thinking on installing some AT ou MT on size 245/75R16, 235/85R16 or 265/75R16 but I'm still trying to know what's the more adequate, which ones need more changes and which (?camel cut?, reinforcing steering, etc).

I kindly ask you opinion about brand (BFG, other), type (A/T or M/T), size and recommended wheel hubs (iron/aluminium?, brand, model, etc).

On option I was seriously considering was BFG's MT 265/75R16 with boost rims, an alternative would be Cooper STT or Michelin XZL but I'm still very un-decise?

On the other hand aren't MT tyres too un-confortable on road? And about fuel consumption?

Best regards and thanks in advance for any help you may provide.

Gday fellas here's my 93 discovery 1, turbo diesel, 4" lift, 265/75/16 radar renegades on standard steelies, chopped guards front and rear, chopped down bull bar and homemade rear bar with recovery points. I've only had it for 2 weeks and bought it stock standard. Took it out for a run today in the bush and am stoked with how it goes. Went through a creek which came up over the bonnet to my surprise and lost my radio and floors got a little water in them

The disco is still doing its daily driver duties, but added a few little things

Wanted a rear light so just bolted some angle to the rear wheel carrier, put the switch next to the factory cruise switch.

stuffed a UHF in the map pocket, only down side is sometimes the mic bounces out!

actually spent some money on it and bought a lightbar for it! went to Toolangi a while back and did blowhard on AT;s which surprised me! ( I said somewhere I wasn't going to take this wheeling but ah well...)

wasn't happy with the ride height, the 31s hit the front guard a bit so mixed and matched some left over springs and raised it a little more. Rear 1/4 petrol tank means I cant really do a camel cut.

Looks nice, I have two 2 door discos.

Tell us more about it, year, diesel/V8 manual/auto, what are your plans for it?
