The front end had a little damage when I got it. I cropped the front bumper and made my own "Gulf States" bumper. This will improve the approach angle, as well as give the Rover a less cluttered look. Downside is, there is no place to mount fog lights. I guess I'll have to get a set of Hellas and mount them up high.

Eventually, I will likely get a steel bumper with a winch mount anyway.

This place sells aluminum rollers to replace the fragile plastic ones for the window regulators.

First Photo


I posed the Disco near this preserve for it's first photo. Having acquired this vehicle only recently, and then faced with the challenge of having to make it run, I will record my progress with it here. I plan to make some minor modifications to make it more reliable and more capable off-road.
It is awful for people to by these vehicles and never use them off road.
