Nice Disco man! That looks like it’ll be a good project. I swapped a 300tdi into mine and have driven the ******** out of it between wheeling it and road trips. I have it out right now to do a 200,000mile overhaul but it is a simple engine to maintain and work on and is predictable and reliable...

Thanks for the video! I’ve seen quite a few of them on YouTube and it’s always fun to watch. Hopefully this will start clearing up by summer

Mines a Baja rack not an sd, I only have the RTT on it when we’re actually going out and doing a trip that’s more than a weekend or the gf is coming a long, otherwise I leave it off. Because of that I got the Baja rack with the rails and cut the back bar off so it’d open over the rear door that...

That was my original plan, I had found another Disco 1 locally that was the same color etc but the guy wouldn’t get back to me. Plus, this truck was used as a wheeler for a long time before I got it and the body really shows the wear from being beaten up, the core support is cracked, the other...

The Tent was a Mt. Bachelor I believe, it was one of their smallest ones at the time. I think it is like 48”x48” when it’s folded up which makes it the perfect fit for the baja racks roof rack. It fits right between the rails, I chose the one with the rails because I like the look of it more and...

300 tdi doing the southern half of the Washington BDR route last weekend

9/7/2018: Labor Day weekend This last weekend we packed everything up into the Rover and set out to do the southern half of the WABDR. The truck performed flawlessly! Friday morning we headed out to Ellensburg, aired down the tires to 20psi, and started heading south. We stopped for a brief...

Basically, What’s going to happen this fall and winter is the truck is going under the knife again. About a month after I finished the swap I was on my way to work, driving the Rover because I couldn’t find my keys to the dd (doh!), and got in an accident on the interstate. Myself and another...

I’ll carry on a little: As of 8/29/2018 - 167,xxx on the chassis, body, axles and steeering - 125,xxx on the 300tdi, R380, and Lt230 Some of the modifications to the truck: - Suspension: OME Heavy Duty Springs, Terra Firma Shocks, Rear long travel with adjustable links, spring relocating cones...

Hi everyone, My name is Matt and I’ve mostly been a lurker here on expo since I found it when I was in high school in like 2008. This place has been Pretty pivotal for my self and thousands of others i’m sure in inspiring them to pursue adventure travel and long road trips into the unknown. I...

Catching a ride to Alaska from Seattle, took her from seattle to Prudhoe Bay and all the way down to Cabo San Lucas!

I love them! And yes they are 5100's. The springs ride very nice, holds the extra payload nicely and still flexes out. My Calmini torsion bars on the other hand are not as satisfying, they need constant adjustment and the powder coating is already coming off after two weeks...

Can't wait to see how this progresses! I'm envious of the power your 4.0 has over my 3.3

Wreckdiver, we went sure yet. We are still doing research on some good places to go and see during winter, any suggestions? Jack, yeah it is mounted to the stock crossbars. They are sturdy enough and I've done some pretty tough trails with it on there and they are solid. I eventually want to do...
