Haha glad to see some dudes breathing some life into an old thread! Last Disco 1 had pretty new 265/75r16 BFGATs and an OME 2" lift so th choice was made for me. About to land an 04 D2 that's bone stock. Plan on mostly using it for daily, but for some adventuring and utility as well while I...

Peter, how much you want for the rack? *hangs head* I'm sick. I need help.

For anyone who's wondering, yes, that's my mini and Cornish Cream RRC it's parked between. ;)

Valid point.

Turn the truck on after it's been sitting awhile and still cold. PFF-PFF-PFF-PFF, like an exhaust leak. listen and start feeling around for the leak. you'll feel the air rushing out. It'll be warm, but eh, such is life.

I live in San Diego, less than a block from the beach. It almost never gets below 50 here, or above 90.

we're not going to have the whole "blue vs green" debate again, are we? ...and would someone remind me why I shouldn't just use plain 'ol distilled water?

Last time I didn't replace the radiator, it had been replaced only about 10k miles before my head gasket went, and the VFC only about half that, so I didn't have to replace it either. I did do the serpentine though, and I think that'll need replacing again. I'm pretty much looking at doing a...

I don't see how coolant could cause the gasket to fail around the cylinder or the exhaust - am I missing something? But as for coolant, I'm using distilled water and regular green stuff...

So the head gasket went again in Mamba, my 99 D1. I replaced it about three or four years ago, about 20-30k miles. Last time it was coolant in the oil, this time it's either exhaust or decompression - I can feel it blowing air out between the head and block. Further information which may or...

Man, tempting! Hmmm... 3,300 mi, at best 15 mpg, gas is about $4 a gallon... that's 800 something bux for gas, plus food, hotel... I found a flight from SD to Boston for under $600. Probably about $2,000 all told. Then there's the time, several days at least. Stu, while that does sound like...

If you weren't LITERALLY on the COMPLETE opposite side of the continental US I'd snap it up. I'm thinking about it anyway.

Virginia.

Not into revolvers, personally... but that shortie S&W .45 ACP looks pretty damned awesome!

Great point. Most systems should handle an MP4 just fine - they're pretty universal. If you have iMovie on your mac, you can give that a try, or there's always MPEGStreamclip, a free, and highly versatile conversion utility for Mac. For playback, on Mac or PC, I recommend VLC. It's free, and...

Glad you comrades are over here...

I don't think you guys quite understand what I'm saying; this is a logic problem. I love my disco. I want something as similar to it as possible that will meet my needs - carry longer items, notably plywood and a longboard, wheel very well, be great for camping trips and expeditions to Baja, the...

and again, I don't want three cars. building a frame up defender is a pretty good idea... Dunno where I'd source it all though.

actually, I prefer the looks of a disco to an RRC. And "hipster"...? Are you sure you know what that means?

So much to reply to - sorry it's taken me awhile to get back to this thread. Cargo room: I'm having a hard time seeing in my mind's eye how it can be less than a Discovery. Even if all the extra room of the longer wheelbase went into the back seat, couldn't I fold down that back seat and make...
