Has anyone built a custom mount and if so could they send me some info on it? Pictures possibly? Thanks.   Leslie N.

Discos and Rangies don't have the extra space between the hood and the bottom of the windshield that the Series/Defender has.... A good while back, Blue tossed his spare onto his hood and took pics, and essentially, you can't see out then. It sounds cool and Roverish, but it just isn't feasible..... -L   Chris Marcel (Gumarcel) Member Username: Gumarcel Post Number: 218 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 06:30 pm:    Jason, If you want to see what it looks like on a discovery look here: http://www.discoweb.org/bbspics/index.htm then go down about 3/4th of the page and you will see it. Leslie was right, it would reduce your visibility quite a bit...
