    Back in the Saddle

    Hi all, Just got back from two back to back deployments, started up my disco and it killed me with code. Codes are: P0300 P0303 P0302 and pending Code: P1668 Truck is a 1999 Disco II with 65000 miles; lots of mods but none engine related. Obviously the first three codes are related to...

    New England Anyone

    Howdy all you NE Roverheads, I have noticed that there seems to be little action on the rover front in this neck of the woods and was wondering if anyone is interesed in a outing this fine three-day weekend. Caveats: -I am recently from the west coast; I don't know of any trails. -I broke my...

    COMCAST sucks

    So this is me venting: I just moved to Connecticut from California. I had DIRECTV in California, and rarely had any problems. More importantly, when I did have problems with DIRECTV, they immediately worked to make it right and usually gave out something for my time. I received 3 months of HBO...

    Okay, now it's just getting ridiculous

    Judge Rules Against Pledge of Allegiance Now I am all about civil liberties-but this is just crap. The pledge of allegiance is now considered in California a breach of the separatoin of church and state? Whats next? The Declaration of Independence obviously, since it mentions God and the...

    The continental leap

    I just completed my cross country drive from California to Conneticut. The Disco ran like a champ the whole way over. My favorite part was the approach to Las Vegas at 8 pm and it was about 105 degrees. Overheated cars left and right, and the disco chugged right along--beautiful. Anyway, I...

    Trek wheels

    I have had a TReK DII for 3 years now, trying to keep mods low key, but the one thing that has bugged me since day one is that my wheels are not the same wheels that originally came with this edition. I have considered the powdercoat/painted rims route, but don't really want to go down that...

    Tuning the CB

    I have a Cobra 75WX CB, which is working so-so. The range on the thing is not quite what I expected, especially receiving. I bought a SWR meter and the best I could get by adjusting the antennae was a 2.6:1 ratio-->not very good. My antennae is a Firestik II longer version (i think it is 4 foot...

    Rover Bling

    I pulled into a parking lot the other day and saw a pretty sweet Disco. Looked like someone is building up an offroad rig---til I saw the wheels :eek: I guess I always knew in the back of my mind that these were available, but this is the first time I have seen them installed

    License Plate Relocation

    Not a very technical thread, but I could use some input. I want to relocate my license plate over to the winch bumper. I have seen a bracket made to attach to the fairlead bolt holes, but then comes off easily for offroading when access to the winch is needed. Has anyone else seen a ready made...

    Front Driveshaft Died

    I have been warned since I bought my DII to buy the GBR greasable front driveshaft as an upgrade. However, there always seemed to be 'just one more' project I wanted to do first. Well, I just got lucky. I noticed a loud whine coming from the vicinity of my transfer case/driveshaft while...

    The Return of Bush Viper

    :eek: After a careful scientific review of both 'Bushvipers' and 'Icepicks' posts, I have come to the conclusion that they are one and the same person. Consider; could there really be two people this stupendously idiotic in the world of Land Rovers. Further, is it possible that two such...

    Second Weekend Project

    Ok, for my second big modification of the weekend, I raised the stock LR winch tray about 3-4 inches. I had a shop redrill the brackets that hold the winch to the frame (precision drilling has never been my strong point). After that, it was simply a matter of cutting two slots in the front of...

    DiscoJen, I am joining the bandwagon

    Newly installed as of today. Couldn't be happier witht he install, except.... Ever notice that when installing something, there is always 5 minutes in the six hour job you wish you could have back. My 5 minutes resulted in slightly scratching the powdercoat on the snorkel by trying to keep the...

    '04 CDL kits

    Has anybody heard anything yet? My '99 DII has a D1 shifter in it, but is causing the cabin noise to go up quite a bit. I went and talked to the dealer to find out how much the parts would cost for the '04 setup and it looks to be ~$700 which is almost doable. Koby is awfully tightlipped about...

    SLS air bags free to a good home

    Two SLS bags from a 1999 DII, leftover after switching to coil springs. They had about 24k miles on them and have been sitting in my garage since April. 'Buyer' pays shipping from area code 93907. Thought about trying to sell them, but they probably aren't worth much anyway. If I don't get any...
