I'm selling my Disco. Nothing wrong with it, just decided to replace it with something more practical for life at the moment. One pic below for a teaser, a few highpoints, then a link to craigslist for the rest of the ad. 04 Disco SE, 111,000 miles, TF medium duty lift and +2" shocks, rebuilt...

I need the right side A pillar exterior trim- the large black piece that covers the entire height of the pillar and covers the edge of the windshield. Mine decided to blow off on its own accord while driving down the interstate. It doesn't need to be in perfect shape, a few nicks or scratches...

Yeah, I went ahead and just got the rotors and pads. I'll check for any other wear while I'm under there, but honestly I just don't feel like spending the time or money to do anything more if I can't find anything that definitely needs it. I've got a new kid at home, time and money are both a...

Are the ball joints any worse than any other full size truck/suv ball joint? I've done a few and I can't say any have been fun.

I'm about to be doing the front brakes on my 04 Disco, and before I get started I wanted to ask if there's any good preventative maintenance to do on the front end while I've already got some parts off. The Disco is going on 110,000 miles, no work has ever been done to the front end as far as I...

I thought the stock springs were way too soft, personally. When I would hit a speed bump at all of 2mph and I didn't hit it dead on perpendicular, the Disco would sway back and forth for a bit while the springs settled down. I put TF MDs on mine, no added weight, and it just goes over bumps- not...

In my experience, if a diff starts making noise, and you've eliminated anywhere else in the driveline, it's time to open it up. I drove around for months with a diff making weird clunking noises, but only under very precise circumstances. This was a full size Chevy Blazer, but it ended up being...

I'm not sure if something was missed here... the plate sits on top of the perch/mount/whatever you call the bracket that the top of the spring comes into contact with. The hole in the center of that bracket is a larger diameter than the cone itself, so although the plate cannot fall through the...

Cone pushed up

I know that page doesn't list D2, but I bought them from Atlantic British who had them listed for a D2. Maybe I read wrong. The two bits are sandwiched together, I don't see what getting them any tighter would do other than compromise plastic. I was more bitching about the tightening process...

Anyone running these? http://www.terrafirma4x4.com/product_detail.php?prod=TF530XT&grp=301 I just installed them on my 04 DII, and even though I followed the extremely detailed 3 sentences worth of instructions, I feel like I must have done something wrong. The base slid into place on top of...

I was on the fence between light and medium duty- bone stock 04 DII, no aftermarket bumpers, sliders, etc. I went with the TF 2", medium duty, and the ride is much better than the stock springs. It stiffened up a proper amount- with the stockers, if I so much as went over a speed bump at an...

I was going to say the only problem with a 62 is they're all automatic, but that one has had that problem taken care of! Too bad I don't have $12k lying around...

Alright, I'll give you that. I just spent a while looking, and I didn't find any for sale with under 150k, and even those were going for $15,000. I just didn't know the 80 series kept their value that well.

$23k for a 97? I don't watch prices on these so I don't know if that's decent or crack pipe, but it seems way high to me. No way I'd pay that for a 17 year old vehicle. That said I'd love an FJ60, and they're not exactly cheap for a 30 year old vehicle.
