Rock sliders - got
Steering guard - got
Diff guards - got
Light bar - will use roof rack to mount Lightforce's to when I get it.
Tyres are 235/70/16s at the moment, until the BFG AT's wear out. Then comes the camel cut, and 85's.
:(kerching): NEXT! :lol:
Thanks Jake. :wink:

Just been reading your list Jake - love the Disco, looks like we're on the same path. :wink:
I'm not particularly mechanically minded (so excuse the question if I'm missing something obvious!), what's the difference between a "Devon 4x4 cranked rear drop arm" and the "QT services 3 degree castor correction radius arms" ?
Also, is there any advantage using TD5 lights? Are they any brighter?
Great vehicle Jake, you've added about half a dozen things to my shopping list! :lol:

"Devon 4x4 cranked rear drop arm" - the clue is in the 'rear' bit :lol:
The QT castor correction arms (for the front axle) are, from peoples experiences, either required or not dependent on how yours behaves - I haven't had a problem on mine with the lift and tyres but some people experience tram-lining and lack of self centering on the steering.
If you do fit the castor correction arms it brings the diff back into its original (pre-lifted) aspect and as such will munch UJ's on the front prop like there's no tomorrow - that's when you need the cardon jointed front prop off a Td5. The cardon prop really goes hand in hand with the castor correction arms (from what I have read of other peoples experiences).
There's also the modification to the rear axle of fitting an earlier rear prop and coupler to do away with the rubber coupler - http://www.discoweb.org/rotoconversion/index.htm
Horness:
Thanks Chris.
In my head I thought that one was rear, the other was front, but was not sure. Better to ask. :wink:
Since the lift, the steering still centers fine, and other than the harshness of the Britpart springs making the road noise a little louder (applied more volume to music to solve that one!), the ride is the same (only higher).
So with nothing else done after fitting OME shocks, and +2" Britpart springs, am I wasting my money with castor correction radius arms, cranked rear drop arms, and a TD5 prop?
I'm really just trying to finish my Disco before the year is out, and thought I'd be pro-active with some of the stuff, but if I don't need it, I won't spend it.
Cheers

they are not any brighter.
I just prefere the look of them :wink:
I'm still trying to work out if i can open the white indicators and paint the inside surround black to match them to the head lights.
I'm a bit scared of breaking them though.
I'll need a dry run with and original colour one to see if the lense is removable without it breaking

I'm very pleased with its look too, thanks :D
My shopping list is still running too though
I still want:-
Detriot diffs, TD5 front prop and a winch with a plasma rope and devon 4x4 stainless fairlead.
I will change the suspension for Old man Emu when the current system dies and i think i can then draw a line under it and begin to start on a 90 or something.
Take plenty of pictures of the work you do and display it here.
We're always interested in seeing vehicles develop :wink:
