yes I dont have the time I thought i would

2003 Discovery (SOLD) (SOLD) 2003 Discovery with about 160k. Has valve tick when warm. Gold w/ leather interior. Good condition. rear sunroof has been sealed shut, head liner is starting to sag. Tires are about 75-80%. Don't have the time to mess with it. Have only owned in a few months and...

That's what I have been leaning towards. But I love the look of the 03 I bought. Just need to fix the valve train noise, swap the tcase for a CDL one, do the axles and and and. Maybe I should have just kept a rusty FJ60. The axle swap idea was to open up a bunch of lockers, strength,wheels...

Would you ship the wheel/tires? Fastenal has great pricing and easy. Could you text or send pics? Thanks, Tom

So looking into my axle options to be able to handle 35-37's. Don't really like the idea of thousands to up grade everything when I can swap something in for a few hundred. So what I need to know is, is there a list somewhere on here that has different rover axles listed with WMS to WMS, gear...

Thanks for the helpful info. I just bought a 03 with engine noises so let the fun begin! Will be interesting to learn a new brand. Hopefully fun.

Yes thank you that is what I am wondering. Why not make it so it can still get out of its own way on the road? I understand all about gearing, and swapping diff gears I have done many. Just seems like an easy and cheaper way to offset the bigger tires for the long trips I need to take to get to...

Yes I understand that that's why I said you can swap the high range. That is not an option with other brands. Kinda cool and can help on the road gearing. The low range is lower than most other brands already.

I have seen you can change out the tcase high range gear in the LT230 cases. How come there isn't more guys doing this? It would be easier and cheaper than new diff gears. Also do the D1 axles have the swivel type ends and the D2's have the booted open knuckle cv's? Would swapping the D1 axles...

Thanks I know that is not popular on this site, just wanting measurements Thanks

Barely is all I need, do you have specs?

So still haven't bought one yet, looked at a couple, but wondering how tall is your D1 or D2 with 35's? Just trying to plan and get an idea if it will fit in my 7' garage door. I know there is variables that will make a difference like D1 or D2, tire size lift amount, low lift with trimmed...

Awesome I can feel love here, I almost feel like I'm on Pirate but not as dirty.

I see in your sig line you have owned both. Are you selling your D2 to get another D1? If so why exactly? I like the refined interiors and more power. Plus so far they are in better shape.

"You said you used to be a Toyota mechanic. When someone has to do the same repair several times and still has an issue don't you start thinking it's the guy trying to do the job? In my opinion a lot of shit started going bad when the Disco2 began.But don't you worry, someone will be along...
