    ARB Fridge wiring question.

    Just got my new 50 qt ARB. Not surprisingly the manual suggestions a dedicated connection to the battery. Tell me that isn't a "must-do" on a modern vehicle like my '02 Discovery. Yes, I plan on doing that anyway soon enough, but was expecting to use it this weekend via the DII's rear 12v...

    Warn VR Series steel vs. synthetic models: Is the line the only difference?

    Bought a Warn VR 10,000 with steel cable. Time to replace the line, want to go to synthetic. The VR 10,000-S comes with 100' of 3/8 line. Can I assume these are no differences between the two models, the line being the only change? Or is there something I'm missing, like, do the different types...

    Converting Sony MTS video files to MPEG/Mac compatible files?

    Hi all: I have a Sony Handycam (HDR-CX-160) and am just now for the first time looking to use the video I have captured. I found I had to download the proprietary Sony software just to get it off the camera and into the iMac. Now it seems like I have to convert the files into something usable...

    Professional installation shops in New England?

    Hi all: Title pretty much says it: I'm looking for a shop or person in the New England region (preferably close eastern Mass) to do some radio install work on my truck. I've always installed my own stuff of course, but frankly its always a Mickey Mouse job. Looking for a nice, clean, proper...

    DI/DII Wiper Arm swap?

    I seem to remember being told that the wiper arms from a DI will go right on to a DII, with the benefit being that DI arms take standard auto parts store wipers whereas DII blades are vehicle-specific. Is this accurate? If so, does anyone have a set of DI arms they want to sell? :) Busted my...

    Transmission/T-Case Underbody Armor for DII?

    Title pretty much says it: I'm looking for some (U.S. available) underbody protection for those "underbelly" areas of the truck. Already have diff armor for front and rear, a steering guard and have a fuel tank guard lined up. A hard damage-inducing hit in this area has me looking to cover it...

    Preventative Maintenance for high mileage DII?

    My '02 DII is about to turn 200,000 miles. Had to replace the engine (slipped liner) around 110K or so, but I am wondering if I should be thinking about significant PM on any of the other major systems. It is my daily driver but does get used heavily on the trails. The rear diff was done this...

    How much recovery gear do you keep in your daily driver?

    Was just emptying out the Disco from a trip/trail run and as I was hoisting my packed recovery gear bag back into the garage, I wondered "Should I be keeping some of this in the truck all the time?" I'm talking about winch-specific gear for the most part. I have multiples of most stuff so it...

    Title kinda says it: I ordered a particualr steering guard for my ARB bumper equpped DII! But what came was a Terrafirma piece. Admittedly it looks great (lightening holes, etc...) but I'm concerned that it may only work with a Terrafirma bumper. not interested into tearing into the project...

    Changing hubs on an M416.

    Hi guys; This may seem like a basic question to most but I'm looking to eliminate any guessing by tapping the knowledge base here. My M416 currently has Jeep pattern hubs and I want to swap it over to the same bolt pattern as my '02 Disco II for all the obvious reasons. I don't know the first...

    RTT on Safety Devices-equipped DII. Stupid questions. (really stupid)

    So, I moved my RTT from the trailer to the Disco II last night and my question is this: Am I missing something or is it a royal PITA to open and close this thing all the way up there on top of the SD roof rack? Is there a trick that I'm missing or is it just going to be difficult to open this...

    Dual battery/split charge system for Disco II: your experiences and suggestions?

    Posting here as I am looking for Disco II-specific feedback from people who have installed one of the major brands, such as IBS or National Luna in their Disco II.

    Was wondering if anyone might have a quick and dirty pic of how they mounted bush cables/limb risers to their Disco's Safety Devices (or similar) roof rack. I have the stainless lollipop-eye bolts that came with my set but am trying to figure out the best way to attach that to the rack. Drill...
