We have a new addition at our house.

Not perfect by any means, but she cleaned up well so far. Will get even better with a little more TLC.

Congrats on the new truck.

Looks good Sus!

I should mention...this truck is staying COMPLETELY stock. No stickers, no lift, no nothing.

congrats on the new addition, a new Rover is a lot of fun at least a weekends worth of work.

No lift, no mods, no nothing?

You cannot resist! Too much temptation!

I want to buy another disco and do that exact thing. I'm just too broke and have no where to put another vehicle.

The reason to keep it stock is that it just rides so nice and pulls strong. With two other lifted trucks, with heavy duty springs and 10-ply tires...this one will be a nice highway truck for now.

Center diff lock works beautifully though--we definitely tested it!

Nice white Disco. I dig, fo sure.

Sounds like my 97, stock no sunroof manual everything 5 speed. Its nice to have something that fits in parking garages and doesn't have 2 giant leaks in the roof.

Changing the oil sucks, but the gas mileage makes up for it.

There is a White 95 5-speed on E-bay right now w/57K miles on the ODO, bone stock, no sun-roofs and cloth interior...I like it alot!

 

[Mantaray]

makes me miss my Disco more.

Thats lame, sorry. That rig is crying for a 2" RTE lift and you know it..and some MTs..and...

 

[RoverGrrl]

haha let's see how long that lasts!

 

[jrose609]

Sus, you know some OME shocks and springs would improve your highway ride even more! Then some new BFG A/T tires. Then it all begins

So is my new 96.
A stock Disco is a beautiful ride - I would've never known how badly I fucked up my first D1 if I hadn't bought an unmolested one.

pm--I'm in total agreement.

My Disco with the 2"RTE and BFGs rides well, but on bumpy roads in town it's rough. Not to mention, there are often people I tote around for work who can't get IN the thing! I've been planning to add the D2 spring isolators to help the roughness. Off pavement though, it's great.

This Disco MIGHT need new(er) shocks...it has a little more body roll than I'm used to and Ivan said he thought he felt one bottom out on the ride home. They are original. We have a set of good Bilsteins at the house we took off the RRC when we lifted it, so time will tell if she will get that set.

Of course, we weren't actually looking for another Rover; this one fell in our laps but I think it will be a good truck.
