I have joined the Disco brigade

Post by Weemsy »

Ice4x4 has long been telling me about the joys of owning a Landy, so after my Safari being stolen, I have bitten the bullet and bought a 95 Discovery.

It's a v8, but only a weekend warrior, so not concerned with fuel (lack of) economy.

If any has a rubber donut for the driveshaft though, please flick me a message as I need one before I wof it.
Will get some Nissan axles under it soon and trim the guards so my 35's can fit.

Pictures up when I find my photobucket password.......
Its better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

would be keen to see your pix of where you cut the guards, i am doing the same but it's a bit of a lottery where to cut and how to tidy it up so as not to chew up tyres

If your tyres still hit after you cut them, cut more till they don't? :?

Just Google it, there are so many UK sites with step by step pictures and measurements. I lifted my 95 V8 5 speed to fit new 33" mudders and it work like a charm. No more rubbing/ hooking. I cut them and fitted 2" lifted springs and turned some 2" body spacers. less than a days work on my own for all of it.
