disco 200 tdi

Looking good but it will look even beter when you get your new wheels onand the arches

Nice one mate great piccys god help anyone if they run into the front of you

i got my rear shocks today de carrbon +2".
still have to fit my sumo bars and finnish my sills and rear arches this weekend i am on the look out for under body protection as i have none yet. i was thinking of making my own as i can work with steel plate and just copying the ones on the works disco

Well you have all the tools there to make your own protection prob alot cheaper to and stronger.

i got my hands on steel plate for making my tank and sump guards

Make me some to whilst ur at it

well its sitting on my ramp just waiting on me going to work and putting all my new bits on it
hi ho hi ho its off to work i go to fix my disco.yes i am sober
i have 3 hole days to get it just the way i want but still dont have my tyres yet but every thing else will be finnished

i got a lot done today can you spot the difference

two more from today as you can see i had to remove the rear quarter panel so i could get welding my sills on. i moved my wheel arch up a few inches then fixed the original wheel arch back on ,i just used tiger seal and a few pop riveits.

Hi is that box section I see for the sill

ahhh fond memories of doing mine.

She is looking good mate it will be soon time to get he mudddy

i still have to do the other side,but thats for today then i got to make my bash plates an fit my new suspension and sumo bars.the last job is for after the mot and thats to open the fuel pump up and set my turbo so i get more power at low revs by making the turbo spin up sooner,plenty black reek but it is only 4 screws thats why i went for a 200tdi and a bigger intercooler from a frontera 2.3

i got my sills finished off today

well done mate glad it is all coming together for you.

its all done.well the rear end is any way fitted new coil springs+2" and my de carbon shocks and a 2" lift at the same time yep 4".fitted some tread plate but i still have the front end to sort out and get it painted {next week end }
i also got my sumo bars fitted as well.this is how high it is sitting now its a full 12"above the tyres

Looking good just need to get the tyres on now

Crickey!! Thats definately gonna need cranked trailing arms!

Are you going the same height at the front? Have you got the correction bushes?


I'm gonna have to measure the height from my roof to the top of the garage door and see how high I can go lol!

i have a set of QT cranked arms but as this is going to be my offroad toy and only on the road for a short time then theirs no need to use the arms{as told by the two partners of the land rover garage i work for}the camber will be out but after a good days offroading it will be out anyway, as for tyre ware it will be minimal as i will be mosty on the brown stuff and yes the front is going the same but with longer heavy duty front coil springs to compensate for my winch and stop the front end bouncing when using it

after giving it some thought and already having the parts then yes i will be fitting my cranked arms at the weekend i also got a price for my tyres 265/75/16 insa turbo special tracks £65 now that's a good deal, so i might just get them on new modulers in black.i should have them by the weekend if i order them in the morning.
BRING ON THE MUD

lol, Looking forward to the pics of it fully lifted with the "big baffies" fitted!!

tyres will be hear in the morning but i cant get the wheels i wanted as there out of stock so i will just keep using my disco wheels for now i will fit my tyres on Saturday and fit my front suspension and QT arms.then all i have to do is paint it with some daft colours i will mot it on Monday at least i no it will pass
i still have to make my under body armour plating and fit it along with my rock sliders.i cant wait to get this finished
its been a quick build as i only work on it at weekends

Hi I just wonder hoe long it would have taken if you had to do it all out side your house (months)

easily a few months and a divorce and sore knees

It makes so much easier when you have a garage and all the toys its half the battle
