Depends how wide you want you're tyres. If you go 16", you can run 285/75/16 which is around 33x11.50x16. If you go 15" then you are pretty much committed to 12.5" wide tyres. Unless you can get some 33x10.50x15, which are blimin hard to come by at an affordable prcie (unless they're ...

Hi all,
I'm looking for some new muddies for my D2.
Interested in 245/75/16 or sizes around that (31" ish).
Cheers, C79

Crawlerer79

Yes, greased wheel bearings, oil in diff and swivel housing

Great resource, I can't see 'muppets' shelling out the $100 odd bucks to find some tracks tbh. Also a lot of the tracks on these sites are not super local to anywhere... I know here in Christchurch, we have a lot of 'Waimak Warriors' but you don't ever really hear of them making the journey to tackl...

Crawlerer79

Great to hear the progress! Looking forward to seeing it offroad

Crawlerer79

Yea that's not changed since I got my last set, they're a great product for the money! Haha no worries, hope the valance works out. My one never came with one so have no real idea as to whether it'd sneak in there

Sweet! How much did they set you back? Been a while since I bought any haha

Crawlerer79

Yea the panhard mount is a bit of a pain, but it can be easily worked around. I had toyed with the idea of doing shackle holes rather than hooks on the last one and I wish I had. The equaliser strap would be great, I've been meaning to get one made up for a while now haha. And yes, it sure adds up!

This is what you want: http://iforce.co.nz/i/2dp30mkc.5eh.jpg http://iforce.co.nz/i/nhitrufh.mby.jpg We've run this set up on all our Disco's, works well. They come drilled at 7/16" but we bore them out to 1/2". Max a Canterbury Land Rover Spares sells them pretty cheap ($30-40ish a side f...

I know there's been no updates or anything in the slightest as to what's happening with all my truck, as to be honest, I don't even know what's happening! I'll have some updates soon, Lando is supposedly 'For Sale' (is it really tho?) but I have been back behind the wheel of it and now that the 'eve...

Crawlerer79

Far out, that's a great price!!!! Not cert-able, but perfect for a trailer queen. I'll bear those in mind for the next build haha, thanks

Crawlerer79

I believe industrial welding suppliers are generally about the cheapest place (local). I know that's where Dad got his 50mm2 cable from (can't remember which place sorry, can look into if you're interested). Otherwise I've heard of people importing it

Crawlerer79

Looking great! Do you mind me asking, which kit and how much did it cost? Cheers

Crawlerer79

Awesome! Very excited for this one! Have just purchased an EVO winch myself... had been toying with the idea of running a Goodwinch Turbo Box controller on it, which gives 24v while winching in, effectively doubling your line speed (I think). I wasn't sure how the Runva motor was going to cope with ...

Crawlerer79

If anyone reading does have any useful tidbits or experiences with this any ideas would be much appreciated :D : I'm not sure whether I have any useful "tidbits or experiences" but on my blue V8, I had very similar issues to what you had. Once the motor was warm, whenever I came to a stop...

The MAF in my Disco died too, I got mine for about $180 from LRDirect. They have great prices and super fast shipping (last order made it to the Christchurch depot in 4 days). Highly recommend purchasing from them. If you have the time, the same MAF is available somewhere on aliexpress for around $8...

Ummmm its usually in October however I'm pretty sure it's only every second year

You're absolutely tearing through it! Great job! Loving the build

Track setting for Chch WC round. Few clubman courses still need proof driving before the event. You'd be just the guy for the job (and we need a few more hands on saws for clearing gorse). I'd be more than keen! And plenty happy to have a crack grading the clubman stages haha. And I'd be plenty hap...

Crawlerer79

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows of any mud plug style events coming up, preferably close to Chch?
Would like to get a wee bit more fun out of the truck before I decide what to do with it

Thanks

Crawlerer79

Great to see another Disco out there!

They sure are capable out of the box, and with a lift and those muddies, you'll be surprised where it'll take you!

Looking forward to this one!

Crawlerer79

I sure am watching! Loving the build, and stoked to see you're gonna finish it!

Crawlerer79

I think they could be quite easily converted back, I'll stick some photos up of the mounts soon

Crawlerer79

I will get some once the weather has cleared and isn't dark! I have someone potentially interested already, they are very rough but a sand back and paint would tidy them up... they are chassis mount to suit a 2" bodylift

Crawlerer79

Do Love Disco's I really enjoyed mine. Sounds like your already onto it with experience from your other. but anything from my build that may help. happy to discuss & try to remember what, how & where... http://www.offroadexpress.kiwi/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=7860&hilit=project+di...

Also, I have a FIA Approved Safety Devices 8 Point rollcage for sale... really want to sell with the comp. truck but will sell seperate... same with the beadlocks and rims I guess

Will be watching with intrest, getting back to basic's and using them is what it's all about. would be interested in the fuel bill and RUC compared to your petrol use. Thanks! Yea back to basic is a great way of putting it, just out there doing it! And yea I'll be interested to see how much I save,...
