Second, I've been looking at photos here on the website and I've been wondering...I've seen a few Discos with 2 cables running down from their roof racks to the front brush guards. What are they and what are they for and where can I buy them? Third, I've found many stickers for sale on various Land Rover merchant sites but I am still "craving" for more. Anyone know where I can find more for sale?   John Hamblin (Jhmover) New Member Username: Jhmover Post Number: 19 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 10:39 pm:    Mu front sunfroof started doing that, the dealer replaced it on warranty after trying to adjust it with no luck.   Alan Yim (Alan) Senior Member Username: Alan Post Number: 508 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 10:39 pm:    Those cables you see are called "limb risers/raisers". They're for off-roading in the bush where there is a lot of overhang. The limbs of branches will ride up the cables and over the truck basically protecting the vehicle from scratches. Provided you have a brush guard/bull bar on the front and a roof rack, all you need is a couple fasteners and some steel cable/wire to fasten them on to. For fasteners, I've seen people do different things from welding little hooks to drilling holes in the tubing and installing eyelets for the cable to run through.   Carter Simcoe (Carter) Senior Member Username: Carter Post Number: 588 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 10:42 pm:    oh man, you need to get aquanted w/ the archives   Ron Johnson (Chauner) New Member Username: Chauner Post Number: 10 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 10:43 pm:    Cool, thanks.   Thomas Abernethy (Toadisco311) New Member Username: Toadisco311 Post Number: 19 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 10:49 pm:    As for the sunroofs, i usually dont open mine so i cant help you there. Those cables are called limb raisers. They are supposed to deflect bracnhes away from the windsheild discoweb sells stickers   Todd Rooker (Tryrook) Member Username: Tryrook Post Number: 62 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Thursday, June 05, 2003 - 12:29 am:    www.viggdesigns.com also sells some cool tongue-in-cheek stickers, like "Got Mud?" in a Rover-like logo, or my personal favorite "Hummer Recovery Vehicle" which fits perfectly across the rear bumper.
