    Rover Landers British Columbia Club Founder's Day Event

    Been crushing on the Disco IIs and got a chance to see a few up close and personal. More importantly, was able to talk to a few of the owners that filled me in on the particulars. I was strongly considering a 2004 because they had the center locking diff. What these folks said is that the...

    There's more, but you get the idea. Lots of LRs under one roof.

    Rover Landers British Columbia Club Founder's Day Event

    Went to a Land Rover club event in BC with lots of cool rigs and even cooler folks. Will send a series of pics of the rigs.

    djkaosone build thread

    @djkaosone Cool build. You and I have the same trucks. I was looking for fun things to do with mine. I've done a few things, but I don't really consider it "a build" because anything I have added could easily be removed or is an option that could be found on a stock vehicle. This brings up...

    Nickname for LR4?

    I didn't know that^ I do know that boats and ships get named. B.B. King named his Gibson guitar "Lucille". Even the first atomic bombs were named "Fat Man" and "Little Boy". I'm confident my masculinity will remain intact if I name my car.

    Nickname for LR4?

    I'm going with "The Pod" because that's what it is to me, my means of escape.

    Nickname for LR4?

    Seems like a lot of folks have nicknames for their rides. I'm thinking about "Stomper" because the shape reminds me of a hiking boot which we used to call a "Waffle Stomper". I've also considered "Escape Pod" or simply "The Pod" or "The Ark" (same idea). "My Precious"? (Maybe hitting too...

    LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2

    I found another Disco II that is a 2003 HSE 7 seat model in "White Metallic Gold". Guy is retired and bought it years ago and never got around to restoring it. Says it has some electrical issue that slowly drains the battery. (Alternator? Ground?). Sure is tempting. Saw a video where they...

    LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2

    Didn't mean to cause a brawl. Admittedly, I baby mine because I'm blind to any "ticking time bomb" problems that may be lurking beneath the surface. Expect to have a little extra cash to throw at it soon. Want to do all the preventative maintenance stuff and maybe a few performance upgrades...

    LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2

    @powershift I feel ya. The LR4 is nicer and I wouldn't trade it straight across. I just saw the Disco 2 that was all decked out and thought it was a really cool ride. I'm tempted by that Tapa engine too. Took a drive of over 600 miles round trip last weekend through Eastern Washington State...

    LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2

    Check this out. Wild third row seats with headrests to come down from the headliner. That can't be standard, right? And the gear in the rear door? Lots of character.

    LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2

    I've got my 2011 LR4 HSE Lux and am really enjoying it. However, I saw a Disco 2 for sale locally on Craigslist that is really cool and another that hasn't had anything done with it that could potentially be restored (project). Does the Disco 2 make any sense or would I be better served by...

    2011 LR4 Honeymoon - Day 1

    Just made it back. Drove through the Grand Coulee Dam region of North Central Washington State. Highly recommend it if you ever get the chance. Beautiful country, like a mini-Grand Canyon, with crystal blue lakes. LR4 held up fine. Air conditioning was a god send when the temp got up above...

    2011 LR4 Honeymoon - Day 1

    Okay guys, headed out on our great family adventure - camping trip. Wish me luck. Didn't have a lot of clearance pulling out of the garage fully loaded in access mode. Thinking about inflating the rear tires to 42 lbs. Not only is the roof rack loaded, but so it the back. Want to make sure...

    2011 LR4 Honeymoon - Day 1

    Reserved a camping spot in a place called Marcus Island Campground a bit NW of Colville, WA, for this coming weekend. It's a 300 mile drive and over 6 hours, but the scenery should be spectacular. It's mostly secondary roads, including mountain passes through the North Cascades. It's sad and...

    LR4 - Coolant Under Pressure When Cold

    @M32H32IS That's interesting. I will need to check that too. I feel like my engine compartment has been pretty hot lately (intermittently). Seems to happen more on short trips than longer drives. Why is that pressure when cold a problem?
