Looking for a modified Di
- Thread starter ROVERMAN
- Start date
120k miles. Zero leaks, new/resealed lt230, recent head gaskets by PO, new fan clutch. Runs 100% perfect...just did a trip down to VA and back with a trailer. Truck is originally from MD, so the rust is only on both C pillars. Underneath the carpets and cargo/sills/firewall/floors/frame are clean. Inside is OK, headliner has sag but seats and carpet are nice. Has the factory LR mats all around. All sunroofs work and dont leak.
...
Land Rover rear ladder
2 Hella 4000 lights on front of rack
1 hella LED work lamp on rear of rack
1 3ft x 5 ft awning on rack
...
I really like that awning. Rob, do you happen to know the make?
I bought it from campinglab.com, but I don't think they are in business anymore.
As far as I can tell it's identical to the ARB Awning 1250, which is pretty cheap at about $200 shipped. I wouldn't bother with the mounting kit if you are at all handy. You can just go to the hardware store and find some metal brackets in the electrical conduit isle and make your own.
If I had to do over, I would not buy this awning and would pay extra for the Hannibal awning that does not require the legs. It's infinitely more useful, but I don't think they don't make it anymore in this width.

So more specifically what kind of truck are you looking for? You've shot down pretty much anything that's been posted.
What are you min requirements? Year, mileage, color? What types of mods are you looking for? Expedition style, rock crawler, Jersey Shore crawler? Are you looking in a particular geographical area?
Unfortunately either they are not yet for sale, across the country, over my budget or overpriced. Not really looking for the ultimate DI, just something within reasonable distance, availabe and fairly priced. There was a link for a DI in PA not too long ago. I took a 4 hour trip just too find a truck in pieces, but the pictures which were taken a long time ago looked really nice. I posted my experienced which helped another member avoid a trip and dissapointmet. You can still find the post below this section.
