    Disco 2 Suspension lift and tires

    It's a TD5 manual The gearing is something that I thought I would need to change. Not sure if a remap would help or it's just best to change the gearing. From what I've read and what you have been saying I'm not going to go 35". I agree with what you are saying about keeping it low for...

    I appreciate the advice I'm getting but I really do want to put 33" tires on. Can you advise me the best way to do this.

    I mean no disrespect it's just me being stubborn on the 33" idea.

    Disco 2 Suspension lift and tires

    The D1 drives quite well on the road so I'm fine will 33" on the D2 for long distance. I've got TC but no CDL but I am going to put it in.

    Disco 2 Suspension lift and tires

    On my D1 I've got 33" tyres so that's what I'm used to. I like going pay and play so 33" is the minimum. I think if it is done right and driven right it can still be reliable.

    Disco 2 Suspension lift and tires

    Thought some one would say that.;) From reading posts on here I'm thinking 35" is a bad idea but I definitely don't want to go less than 33"

    Disco 2 Suspension lift and tires

    Hi all, I've just got a 2004 discovery 2 TD5. I've got a D1 at the moment but I want to do some more long distance green laneing and maybe some expeditions as well as some pay and play. The D1 is too slow and unreliable hence why i have upgraded to the D2. The first jobs is to make it as...

    Quick question

    Thanks 1988smithy. I thought a disco 2 would be wider than a disco 1. I got 1090mm on mine. Thanks agen. I will post a pic when I'm finished.

    Quick question

    I'm still going to make a folder as I'm going to do some draws for the boot. Could someone with a disco 2 message between the inside of the 2 wheel arches in the boot please. Thanks Elliot

    Quick question

    I'm sure I'll be able to extend the pipe somehow. I would imagine breather is a breather. It's probably going to go wrong but I've all ready started making the folder.

    Quick question

    Didn't think about that. Looking at my disco 1 the winch will be too low down but I know the disco 2 is different at the back.

    Quick question

    Hi all. Just a quick one. I've got a disco 1 and going to upgrade to a disco 2. I'm planing on putting a custom made fuel tank in the boot so I can put a winch in place of the old tank. I'm making a sheet metal folder to help me make the tank. I need to know the distance between the inside of...
