So pretty much, she's just about finished from my perspective. There's probably a couple of other little things I could do to get her ready for touring, there is still the rear light pole to go on,,, just waiting for its arrival. I'd also like to swap out the crappy fog lights supplied with the front bar with the original fog lights, and possibly add a set of Fyrlyt spotties. The last job which will get done will be removing the third row seats to replace with some storage and a stainless drinking water tank.

I used to think I loved the Defender,,,

The Discovery just eases along with absolutely no effort, is sooooo comfy, and IMO, does everything just so much better. Luxury that's capable of doing what seems to be "everything",,,, you gotta' love that

Awesome,another skateboard.My shiny headed mate will love that
They do look good,dont tell Aaron!!!!
Andrew

Looks good mate. What wheels are they? Oh and finished you reckon. There's always something else

Scott

I thought i was finished once. So very wrong.

They aren't quite as flash as Mr Shiny Heads rims,but the 20" black rims do look good on a skateboard.
Mr Shiny Head keeps telling me his 20" wheels will look much better on my D4 and he is happy to swap,must think I'm a better skateboard rider!!!!
Andrew

In the voice of the old guy on "The Vicar of Dibbly",,,,

no no no no no,,,, she says it's finished

Whos the Shiny Headed one your referring to Andy,,,, does this mean I have a twin in a D4

Aaron40.
His isn't blue,I love taking the **** out of him about his 20" rims,he is very good at returning fire.

Hi Scott, they're Advanti's, I can't remember what sub name they give them, that will have to wait until I've found the receipt, hiding somewhere in the car which is full of stuff at the moment.

Since the the wheel alignment has been done, wow,, she sits on the road so much better. Was a fair way out apparently, which is supposed to be normal as everything beds in. Now, she's as tight as a drum, and just hugs the road very nicely.
Because both the wheels and alignment were done at the same time, I'm not in a position to say which is more beneficial, but I would think its the WA, not the tires.

Looking forward to to getting into the bush to see how they perform.
