first change to make to a stock disco?

i've got some tires in mind, aside from that what do you guys think are the first things to change in making my disco more capable and offroad durable.

not a mud machine, or a rock crawler, but a good all around vehicle that will still handle decent on the road.

Set of diff guards would be a wise investment after the tyres.

and that's all you need for the use you describe...

Isn't this the same question as your other thread??

The answers you got there will be the same answers you get in here.


I dunt know. Fokking fick septics??

Well, for my deepender, I'm looking at steering guard, diff guards (which I've got, pics up soon!).

Next I'll be looking at the rock sliders on the sills, then some tyres, then some suspension bits, bit by bit, week by week, until I have a full suspension kit with more articulation and a little lift.

Then I'd be looking at a roll cage.

Projected time at the wage I'm on for all this....6-7 months!

thanks, yes its pretty much the same, sorry, thought this title might be more appropriate

thanks guys.

treworgey, this vehicle spends time in sand, and some mud, i usually avoid the latter. all the trails are kept up just enough for military vehicles, and sometimes we just winch them through if they aren't kept up enough. it also takes weekend trips up to nyc or carolinas outer banks (more sand). lots of water crossing, usually with a good base under it, sometimes even a rock bed to the streams.

ive had mine just over 6 weeks and ive done few bits changed the tyres and wheels put steering guard diff guards next to go on is fuel tank guard when i get time saturday and ive put a 3" lift on it to and made my own front bumper

and i use it as an every day car to get to and from work etc

Then you might want to consider a snorkle, and extending the axle and gearbox breathers up to the top of the snorkle. Also, fit wading plugs to the bell housing and timing case before wading.

I wouldn't recommend lifting the suspension, unless you're prepared to do all of the other work associated with it to do a proper job.

A steering guard might be an idea too, if the ground is rocky - that can also give you front recovery points if you fit the right type.

wot trewy sez.
