How far would you go in modding your disco?"
Disco Matt:
I think the best bit about the Disco is that you can use it off road and as a comfy daily driver - it will tolerate both. I have no intention to go down the "2in lift, big tyres, winch" route as it'd damage the on-road handling (plus I suspect it becomes more tempting to take it into situations where you will break something!). That's why I have A/Ts and standard height suspension. Apart from grounding the towbar a few times (must start saving for a detachable one) this hasn't posed me any problems.
I will say that the seriously modded ones are very impressive - just I couldn't justify doing that. Mine will still fit into multi-storey car parks on my infrequent visits to places that have them. I also worry about the effect huge tyres would have on the gearing - it must hurt your accelleration surely? I rather like being able to startle the local Novaboys... :twisted:

Well said that man! I too am in no way intending to go down the lifting cutting arches route. I like mine the way it is, with subtle things on it like the tree sliders and snorkel. It makes it look like I do off road (which is true) but doesnt say I do extreme stuff and just like some good honest fun (also true) When I put the rr alloys on with grizzly claws then it changes the look of the disco again to one I do actually like the look of. the grizzlies help me on pay and break sites but I cant afford the break part so I am careful.
Another reason for me not going down the lift option is that I find the disco rolls enough as it is on stiffer suspension etc as it is now, so why raise the centre of gravity and make it worse? I do alot of towing of large caravans and trailers so the last thing I want is an unstable disco when towing. I would be asking for trouble then!
