    Removed spare tire carrier.....now what?

    So I had this great idea for a sweet dual Jerry can holder. SO I removed the spare tire and secured it to the roof rack. I then removed the spare tire carrier (good thing I did, cause the areas around the studs were starting to crack). The question I have is this- once I pulled the bolts out...

    Free Manual?

    Prolly wouldn't be free, but did you try eBay? I doubt Land Rover would have any Disco I manuals since they haven't been made in a while. Good Luck

    What kind of Stereos is everyone using?

    Uzbad, i know that there is noticable sound loss in using the Modulator, but is it bad enough NOT to buy one? Thanks everyone for helping me out with this decisision.

    What kind of Stereos is everyone using?

    What kind of Stereo is everyone using? So I picked up my Rover on Sat and I love it. The one thing that is nagging at me is the stereo (moreso the lack of a cd changer). It has the factory stereo and I am pleased with the sound. I'm not really one of those guys who will drop a few grand on...

    Prospective N00B .....*hangs head in shame*

    Prolly the POS mail server here at the office. I PM'd you my home email addy. Has anyone ever replaced the door handle on a 99(ish) Disco II? I'm supposed to get a new door handle to replace the cracked one and I was curious as to if I could do it myself or if I'm going to need a trained...

    The guy I was trying to buy the rover from said that he was the president of SOLAROS. I thought that was pretty cool. :smile:

    Prospective N00B .....*hangs head in shame*

    I just got back and here is the skinny. Items that I found out about: The windshield definately needs replaces (non-heated version) The rear bumper is secured with some zip ties (He said that the bumpers can get knocked off quite easily, so he removes it before he goes wheeling) There...

    Prospective N00B .....*hangs head in shame*

    Thanks Sam and Melissa. I am kind of concerned with the police report that stated that there was slight damage [Accident Reported in Fulton County involving left rear impact with another motor vehicle. Slight damage reported]. I'm not sure how to read this. Did the Rover get rearended or did...

    Prospective N00B .....*hangs head in shame*

    So I just got off the phone with the guy and now all of a sudden he is acting totally not cool. I mention something like "After I see it and drive it I'll make my offer" and he then informs me that he "isn't going to take a hell of a lot less that 14k" (the asking price). WTF?? Three days ago...

    Prospective N00B .....*hangs head in shame*

    Thanks guys, I'm just aware that I have to be a little delicate casue if I say "I'll give you $12,000" I could totally piss him off and he'll just shut down. I think that 12k is a reasonable starting bid. Is there anything that is notorious for being wrong with this model? TC, Tranny, back...

    Prospective N00B .....*hangs head in shame*

    I just found out today that it has an OME 2" lift w/ OME shocks. I'm going to look at it on Sat, anybody got any pointers on stuff I should look for? :confused: Oh, and any strategies that I can use to talk it down would also be appreciated. :rolleyes:

    Thanks Andy. Don't worry about the wheeling part, I wheel the hell out of my Jeep right now. This Disco won't replace it, but it will see some action.

    Prospective N00B .....*hangs head in shame*

    I've been doing some looking and would appreciate it if someone could take a look at this. I've pretty much decided on a '99 or '00 Land Rover Disco II. I've found quite a few in my price range (9k to 15k) and I just got off the phone with a guy who lives about 2 hours away. Here are the...

    Prospective N00B .....*hangs head in shame*

    Okay, some more random stuff. When a Disco has ACE or the SLS is there a way to actually tell by looking at the truck? I'm looking at a lot of rovers online and very few of them state that they have ACE or the SLS. Now, I'm not assuming that there are a lot of them out there, but there has...

    Prospective N00B .....*hangs head in shame*

    I can't speak about specific people. Do what you want with your money. I was referring to actual individuals that I have met in a social setting with Rubis who brag of their vehicle's offroad prowess and how sweet the stock ARBs are and then turn right around and vow to NEVER take it off road...

    Hold on,.......um, square headlights, 7 slot grill........title says 94. *looking out window* Yes, a YJ is what I got. :biggrin: While it sounds like I'm being stupid it's more ignorance that I am trying to correct. 12 hours ago I new absolutely nothing about Land Rovers, and now thanks to...

    Prospective N00B .....*hangs head in shame*

    Sorry for the continuing barrage of questions, but do are the models without the CDL said to have All Time 4WD? I'm guess that there is a difference between the CDL and AWD. I just got off the phone with a guy who said that all 4 wheels turn all of them time and that he didn't know what I was...

    Prospective N00B .....*hangs head in shame*

    Thanks a lot guys, so to get the CDL in the T case I need to get a 99 or a 00 (possibly an '01). Is there a way to check this on a lot or in a person's Driveway? Could I tell by crawling underneath it? :confused: Oh, and for the record I'm not the biggest fan of Rubi Owners. I've seen a...

    Prospective N00B .....*But I'm getting better* Hi all, I hate to duplicate Wh00t's thread but I have some questions also and didn't want to jack his thread. Let me open up with the fact that I know nothing about Discos but I'm learning more and more every hour. I found your forum to be the most...
