Author Message   Chase Posted on Tuesday, March 19, 2002 - 09:38 pm:    I have a 97 Disco with, implace of jump seats, those annoying cargo bins. Over the years of normal Rover abuse and squeezing too many tents and packs in the back the plastic walls split on me. Subsequently, they constantly pop out and spill all their contents over my load space.... Has anyone come up with a clever replacement idea? Maybe just a total replacement with cargo net? I enjoy the extra little "crap holders" and would like to keep their convenience, but I cant think of anything worthwhile.. Thanks! -Chase   bryan Posted on Tuesday, March 19, 2002 - 11:56 pm:    check ebay under "land rover discovery", I've seen a vendor who sells cargo nets for the side bins (might only be for a D2)   ken knebusch (Charlotterover) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 07:28 am:    chase, i'll try to get you a picture of what i just did a few weeks ago. give me a day or so. ken   Chase Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 05:40 pm:    Thanks!! I'd greatly appreciate any help...   BJ Turner (Wturner) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 05:44 pm:    Ken I want one of those pictures too!   RVR OVR (Tom) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 10:10 pm:    Ken, Send it to Ho and have him put it in the Tech section. Tom   Mike B. Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 10:24 pm:    The cargo bins on my D1 cracked too. I riveted a 3/4" flat aluminum strip to the back and drilled out the tops and bottoms of the cracks to prevent further cracking. It looks ok and works pretty good. The aluminum has enough flex to allow me to still remove the bins if I need them. I seemed to recall that the total cost for the parts was $4.00 for both bins. That beats the $80.00 or so the dealer wanted. Thanks, Mike B.   Marc Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 10:51 pm:    Guys - those things are like $19.00 each. if you break one, buy a new one. -Marc   BJ Turner (Wturner) Posted on Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 10:50 am:    It's not the cost. Mine aren't even broken, they just suck at holding stuff. The only reason mine works at all is because I have a 50 lb tool box on the outside keeping the walls from tumbling. I am just looking for a better system.   K. March (Apexdisco) Posted on Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 11:35 am:    Where is the picture posted at? I need some ideas for my bins as well. I think I'd like to put in one chair and then leave the other bin for holding stuff.   ken knebusch (Charlotterover) Posted on Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 11:46 am:    I'll send it to Ho. I'll get the pics tonight if I get the chance.   ken knebusch (Charlotterover) Posted on Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 11:57 am:    i ended up putting in two steel bars in both slots on each side. i bent them in a vise so they would hold more..toolbox, fire ext. etc. pics speak louder, so i'll get them in here.   Dave Posted on Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 02:24 pm:    Get rid of the cargo bins. Put a trail air in one side, and something fun like a subwoofer in the other....   BJ Turner (Wturner) Posted on Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 03:12 pm:    Then where do I put my straps, receiver hitch, paper towels, extra tennis shoes, folder with extra Dweb stickers and collection of mechanical drawings ect., and CD Cases?   K. March (Apexdisco) Posted on Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 03:52 pm:    Dave- what's a trail air? What's the biggest size subwoofer you think you could get in the bin space?   RVR OVR (Tom) Posted on Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 04:07 pm:    Definately not for music... http://www.discoweb.org/trailair/index.htm http://www.trail-air.com   RVR OVR (Tom) Posted on Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 04:10 pm:    why didn't that first link turn out...hmmm http://www.discoweb.org/trailair/index.htm   K. March (Apexdisco) Posted on Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 04:32 pm:    That's sweet! I'm definitely putting a Trail air on my wish list.   Mike B. Posted on Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 11:35 pm:    Where can you get the bins for under $20.00? The dealer quoted me $70.00+ for each bin. Thanks, Mike B.   ken knebusch (Charlotterover) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 07:03 am:    here are mine: ken   ken knebusch (Charlotterover) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 07:10 am:    once again:   ken knebusch (Charlotterover) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 07:10 am:      ken knebusch (Charlotterover) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 07:11 am:      BJ Turner (Wturner) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 10:38 am:    Ken, do you have a DII or DI? If you have a DI, then where did you get those silver load tie down things? I would like to get some for my own! Thanks   ken knebusch (Charlotterover) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 10:42 am:    i have a d1. i picked those up at northern tool. i think you can get them at lowes or home depot though. i am sure you can track them down online too.   K. March (Apexdisco) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 12:02 pm:    I'll trade my bin covers for a single rear jump seat. Any takers? Kris 99 Disco SD   Slider Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 12:49 pm:    I wish I had that space!!...My stupid rear AC unit in in there... have any of you seen how much wasted space there in behind all the plastic when you have rear AC?? It's shameful. Slider
