I've been searching for at least the past six months for a Disco II. I had been looking for what seemed to be such specific specs that I thought I was looking for a unicorn (aka something that doesn't actually exist).
Disheartened, I called my friend Pete Sweetser, who works at Land Rover Clearwater, one day to see if he could help me track one down. Lo and behold, he had one show up at the dealership just a couple of days prior. This truck is absolutely pristine. It's a 2004 Discovery II with:
a pair of brand spankin' new, never been used LR genuine Waterproof seat covers
G4 front lamp guards
rear upper and lower lamp guards
rear ladder
rear dog guard
Safety Devices roof rack w/ 4 Hella 4ks
A pretty nice Pioneer sound system
Front LR nudge bar with a pair of aux lights (I think they're LR genuine, but they look a bit like Hella 1000FFs)
a few other goodies.
The truck had about 88k miles on it, which is higher than I would have liked, but apparently the last owner took extremely good care of the truck. It went to the dealership for preventative maintenance like clockwork. Inside the rig, there's all these little clues that he treated this truck like his baby--soft velour tape on the seatbelt buckles where they rub the seat adjustment knobs so as not to scratch them, that sort of thing. Its about as close to flawless as I could find in a used DII.
I'm pretty excited about the new rig. I've had it for just about 2 weeks, and I've already logged over 3k miles with it. I took it out for Land Rover Flatirons Ice Racing event last weekend and had a blast with it on Georgetown Lake.
The as-yet-unnamed vehicle's inaugural trip is coming up Presidents Day weekend when we're planning to take it on a pre-scout through southern Utah.

Taking a run around the race course
Stopping in alongside the swamp in Louisiana.
