Pulling my hair out - purchasing a Disco4

Nice looking car, enjoy. I too am going for the Tuffants as soon as these Maxxis are worn a bit more. Don't like the performance on sand and certainly don't the easy chipping I experienced not long ago.

Nice one 516! I’m solo’ing again come Feb next year so getting into my training already. Swam Coogee jetty to jetty return this evening after work which was a nice end to the day.

Nice looking car...same year i bought but i went petrol this time and I'm enjoying comfort capability and 250 kws of POWER😆

Is it too rude to ask about ks and price?

Look who I spotted on my drive home tonight

I would have tooted, but a random bald bloke in a red Toymota would have probably confused you.

Did you know that your tail lights are on with your DRLs? I'd seen another facelift HSE (The XXV is a fancy HSE) setup the same way. My facelift TDV6 brings on the DRL without the tail lights.

Spotted! At least you got my good side

Not sure about the DRLs. I wasn't even sure that the driving led's were on until I spotted my reflection in the back of a bus.

Love this car by the way. Such a pleasure to drive. My 18" ToughAnts and BFG's have just arrived as has a Llams! Did anyone say slippery slope!

I’ve got full APT bash plates, Rhino racks, CB, onboard compressor, LLAMS, Traxide and driving lights installed if you want to take a look. I’m in Kallaroo.

You can go nuts with the add-ons.
But the one I've never regretted is the long-range tank. Gives me about 1700km between fills. And having the spare hung out the back on a swingaway is SO much less of a PITA when you do have a flat on a long trip, not having to empty the cargo to get to the slung-under spare.

Wow that's some range☺

**ATH** · 19th November 2019, 07:33 PM

I've been thinking about a long range tank too. I used a home made carrier on the roof rack for 2 extra jerries on the Defender which gave me good range but feel they may detract from the overall appearance of the D4......
I did ask a supplier of bits for LRs for a quote for a swing away 2 jerry holder to match my RWC and got a figure of around 1800 bucks and after fainting I thanked him but declined the offer.

I know we're all mad but that price was absolute madness.
But as at the mo I'm not a member of any club I may not be doing any long remote trips so might just not bother. I hesitate to travel too far away from help with just the Cook to give me a push.

Great to see what others are doing with their pride and joy though.
