Guys, I've been out of the loop for a while but finally I'm back. I have an 03 Disco HSE V8 which is pretty much a street car as it has the 18" wheels. I have managed to put some At tyres on it and this has helped tremendously but I am also keen on suggestions for additional accesories from you guys. I don't want to turn it into a monster, I just want advise on what could be done to enhance it. I have no bar on the front as I don't see the need as I don't expect to need a winch and rarely do any night time driving in the bush.
So apart from having my CB and AT tyres what would you guys suggest as viable and no-nonsense or must have accesories to add to my baby? Perhaps shocks but there is apparantly more to this than meets the eye with the ACE and SLS gear already on board...These things are pretty good off-road to start with and I don't want to cover it with all the toys unless they are going to be used. Perhaps I'm a tight **** but I also dont want to look too much like a ******. (some may argue this already...)

Seriously, if you don't want bars and protection equipment etc, and you've got decent rubber, the only thing I'd suggest is a decent set of recovery gear and a hand winch.

And there is nothing wrong with looking like a ******, I've made a career out of it.

good points, perhaps I should also put a bigger lock on my fuel tank..........
What about bash plates? Are they really that usefull when 4wding or more for the guys who want to tear up the bush at 100MPH? I was perhaps thinking of a steering guard with recovery points as this would fix my lack or front recovery points and have the additional protection. What say you or am I pulling my plonker?
rated recovery points front and rear would be the most important things I would imagine..

Are these available as a simple bolt-on product from the likes of ARB etc?

Guys,
The D3 (& RRS) come standard with "rated" recovery points, suitable for snatching and other offroad recovery techniques.
Master
cool, mine is an 03 D2. What is the best solution for front recovery points? I would consider a steering protector plate with integrated recovery points if they are any good (and if you know where I can get a decent one that suits).

I think some sort of bash platey type thing is good insurance, you can still do damage at a lot less then 100mph.However, my own rig is overkill, Im the first to admit.

nice one Crump. Where can I get a bash plate with integrated recovery points then? I am looking for a simple bolt on number if possible.
