Orch's disco tale

Had one of these on another forum since buying in 2012 so thought I'd start one here too, and catch up from then to now.

Damn I forgot how clean she was. Bog standard TD5 ES.

Wasn't long before the toys started arriving

265/70 to start with

Orch · Jan 31, 2015

After a few trips out on the plains a few more goodies starting being bought

My first bit of basic maintenance I think

Back when I use to polish it

Few more trips out learning what this offroading business was all about

Snorkel time

Then my love for mud really started growing

Orch · Jan 31, 2015

More new toys, being checked over by the boss of course

We're a bit of a Land Rover family

Lifted vs non lifted

Service time

Orch · Jan 31, 2015

Oil cooler pipe decided it didn't fancy carrying on, leaving me stuck with no signal, hardly any battery and on my own with a 2 year old and dog late at night

New one soon fitted

New steering damper, plus signs of ATF let go by the cooler pipe!

Next was change the viscous fan pulley bearing, which was FUBAR.

Oops!

Got the begger out in the end

Time to go in size, 285/75 this time

Orch · Jan 31, 2015

It was rubbing on the rear most section of both front and rear arches, so added 30mm spring spacers, taking it to around 4 inch lift give or take a bit

Bit too tall for the trailer now lol

Orch · Jan 31, 2015

Remap time

Side exit fitted

Bought a daily driver, so the disco could become full time toy

Exhaust now completely straight through, and pretty loud!

That's a tidy looking d2 bud.

I do like them when modded.

Look forward to seeing it in action tomorrow.

Orch · Jan 31, 2015

Cheers chaps. Next on the list is remove roll bars, cut arches back and fit 35s

Gregja · Feb 2, 2015

Awesome work my friend looks great!

Orch · Feb 2, 2015

Cheers Greg.

Think I've pretty much decided next purchases will be 75mm Flexi arches, 16x10 ET-50 steels and 35x13.5 Mudzillas.

Now just got to gather the pennies!!

Dipsterson · Feb 2, 2015

Really like this........gives me more motivation to get on with mine

Orch · Feb 2, 2015

Good stuff. The more D2s that are up for taking the mods and mud a bit further, the more demand, and hopefully supply!, there will be for better products!

It's frustrating that there's such a lack of parts available for D2s still in the UK, even after 15+ years, yet the Aussie's and yanks seem to get as much development and attention as the D1s.
