I am a rookie Disco owner! I have a 98 LE and I bought it to play off road...now what? I am taking suggestions on where to start my project of making my DI more off-road worthy. I have brush guards, lights, and rack. I am interested in suspension upgrades, tires, sliders, etc... |

Save your money. At least for now.
Find some responsible off-roaders to go off-roading with. There is probably a LR club near by. That way you can find out first hand what you need and what you don't.
I would remove the front spoiler and cut down the bumper end caps. That way you won't tear it off. Stock Discos are very capable. Next, I'd get a 20 foot 2" recovery strap and a couple of D-Shackles (www.4x4connection.com).
Head to www.discocrazy.org and check out the photos from Ricardo Palomino's Rover Roundup. Most of the vehicles were bone stock and they all did fantastic!
Thanks,
Mike B. |

For recovery gear, also check your local tractor/farm supply store. |

it would be safe to say that every Disco owner on the website has the best of the best conponents on their trucks. and you have just opened pandoras box, so not to sound mena, go to the picture section of this site, look at the trucks and email the owners of the ones that catch your eye. looks arent everything but deep down we all wnat what looks best on our trucks altho some will deny that.
good luck!
