This is my 2004 Discovery II SE7. I figured i'd make a thread just to keep the post clutter of updates all in one thread. I wouldn't exactly call this a "build" but i'm putting what parts i can on the truck whenever i can. It is my DD but it suits my main hobby of working out in the wilderness with wildlife...mostly reptiles. its used for light offroading and weekend trips and hopefully this summer will be used for longer trips to nowhere. I live in Fort Myers, FL but attend college in Auburn, AL. so this truck sees quite a few highway miles every year traveling back and forth, so i doubt i will lift it any further or ever go past a 33" (when i get there). I've learned quite a bit from this truck, both from a mechanical/maintenance perspective as well as a wheeling/exploring perspective. I haven't done any "hardcore" wheeling by any means, but i've dealt with water crossings, deep mud, sand, and rocky terrain between florida, georgia, and alabama.
