Hey guys, I got my copy of the Moab Video and I wanted to say.... Nice Work!!!!
I wanted to know what sort of mods you guys/gal did to your Disco's. I saw most of you guys had rock slidders, skid plates, ARB bumpers (or similar) and winches. Also saw that about half were running BFG AT tires or similar, but I couldn't tell if you air down. Basically, these are things that I have done to my Disco or will plan to do in the near future.
The suspension work will be next for me. As it stands right now, lockers will be the last thing in my list. I would like to know how many of you in the Moab Video had them installed in their Discos.
Thanks

I'll throw this in for the hell of it...my Disco blew it's motor in Denver, but my TJ had a Trac-Loc in the factory 44 rear. That thing sucked, but was great at the same time.

55 psi???
You break your teeth?
Is there a reason why you like to run that high, Kyle?

By Kyle on Sunday, November 04, 2001 - 02:04 pm: Edit |
Yeah , cause thats how high they should be run. An MT will last much longer aired up then it will aired down. They also arent as prone to be snagged and ripped , popped off the rim , pinched on the rim , etc etc....Hard tires dont prevent me from going anywhere , flat tires will. I treat the whole airing down thing just like anything else. Whats the pros and whats the cons..

This is fascinating (fun) info, guys! Watching the video, I think a lot of us had questions at certain spots.
Kyle, rear sway bar still on? Tires at 55 psi? ... I like this!
Keep going, all ....

Yeah, those were my questions while watching the video. Is that locked in the rear? Are those the new GY MTR's? What you guys need are DiscoWeb Cards, a la POKEMON. Tell us all the mods and "powers."
"I'll take my Brian Jackson against your Kyle." J
yeah, just a teensy bit delirious from the weekend still
