200 Tdi Budget off-road alterations - advice please
Range Rover Blues:
Loose as much weight high up as you can. Don't go for a lift straight away but try dropping the shock mounts for better articulation. A body lift might be cheaper than a proper suspension lift in time anyway and it will be more stable.
Check to see if the pump is tweaked already on the engine.
As suggested shorten the towbar but don't remove it, remove the front skirt if still fitted and sort out the breathers if you intend to dunk it. In which case you must check all the bearing seals and swivel seals, it's not my V8 i worry about in deep water it's how many wheel bearings I'd better have in stock.

I removed all the trim from the front bumper and ran the Discovery like this for a while.
mentalmoshio sophs V8i:
i was gonna trim the end cap section right off and have like a defender style bumper. if it had been full of rust on the end :doh:
mentalmoshio sophs V8i:
rear overhang cut off and rear bumper removed and towbar removed gives a great departure angle improvement
Dr Strangeglove:
What about guards, steering, diff, etc. Can these be fabricated and what from. Are any drawings available anywhere?
