The Rover-Landers of BC

Just wanted to say a quick hello to all, from downtown Vancouver.
I have had my white disco going on 3 weeks.
Love it!

Cheers

Hello Andrew! Welcome!

I see that you just took your running boards off. Does that mean that we can expect to see you out on a run or two? Is this your first Rover?

John

I just sold my 97 white 2dr ford exploer with a lift and 33s with true track diffs etc!!
I just bought a 96 disco, Im the second owner and it has full docs from mcl in vancouver. As it sits in the parkade i have Modified the air intake and yes with a K&N and cut out the air box.pro comp shocks are going on this weekend. i had them on my explorer and loved them. I have chopped up the exhaust, i have my stock new tires up for sale on this site. i have new tires in mind have a few friends in the industry------tires tuff choice?


cheers
Andrew

P.S will take pics of the mods

What did you do to the exhaust?

From your response I gather that you have read some of thee potential issues with running a K&N in dusty off-road conditions. If not, do some research. I think you can have issues with the MAF unit.

So you got that Explorer into your car park but no room for the Disco? That darn roof line :) .

Hi Andrew,

Your enthusiasm for you Discovery is cool, sounds like we are going to see you on a few trips this year…that would be great :D . I know you have already made the changes to your air box for better performance; but do you think you have made your engine more venerable to water ingress?

What kind of tires did you go with, more than a few good choices these days?

Too bad about the clearance/lift issues…Expedition Exchange (as already mentioned) really has some great info on Land Rover lifts. In fact I went with one of their recommendations. I have OME HD Discovery1 Springs & Shocks up front & OME MD Discovery 2 springs (Discovery1 shocks) in the rear. I also remove the rear sway bar during “off-road seasonâ€

Most of my 4 wheelin will be done up areound the sunshine coast as we have a house up there and the trails are In good shape, until you go off the trail.LOL! I have not encountered alot of water and dont plan on dropping the disco into a 4 foot deep mud hole, well not on purpose. THE WIFE WOULD KILL ME!
As i am a building mger i have acccess to alot of filtration equipment so i can easly install a secondary filtration system in the disco.
Tires tires tires what shall i buy any reccomendation?
Had B.F.G. Allterains on my last SUV.
Does anyone no if a Ford rims will fit on the Disco ?

Cheers
Andrew

Hey extra filtration sounds good. :)

Ford rims won’t work on your Disco(Ford Escape rims will fit Freelander), you are pretty much stuck with alloy or steel LR rims, there are a few other choices such as Wolf wheels, but the off-set isn’t quite right nor are they any easier to come by.

Check with some of our supporters regarding wheels, and or Discoweb.org is where I picked up my off-road alloy rims.

Tires, well if you going for 2 sets of rims defiantly get some “mud terrainâ€

OKAY MUDS IT IS!
USE TO HAVE A SET OF HANKOOK MUDS ON MY OLD TRUCK LOUD AND CORNING WAS CRAP!

CHEERS
