Hey guys...
Well, this is the first time I am back here, and I'd like to inform you guys how the build up of my 1992 Disco is going on (prepping it up for Challenges...2003 RFC being its first):
Front suspension:
The 764s and N73 are great. Simple and effective. Articulation is great. The springs are just the right stiffness for the heavy M8274-50 and custom bumper (~100KGs - Masterline rope and alum. fairlead yet to come). extended brake lines are NECESSARY.
EE rear bottom spring mounts:
took some fiddling to have them installed. Done the trick.
2" RTE body lift:
Land Rover should have this as an option right along the heated mirrors and those useless crappies. THIS THING ROCKS. Granted, the whole thing does not look like a 215$ pacakge, but It was a "kit" and that made it count. GREAT clearance, drivetrain actually MUCH less heating up, and less sound. extended brake lines are NECESSARY.
Rangie Spares Extended Flares:
what a freaking biatch to install. did a small variation on the installation method initially sent to me. fronts done, rears very tough. NECESSARY for 4 door trucks.
Bumpers:
Front bumper to be done in 2 days. Will post pics, my own design. Rear bumper to come in Aug, not sure WhereTF to put the rear winch.
Sliders:
3" tubes linked to outriggers. Pics to come.
Engine:
Nitrous to be installed in a bit. dry system.
Transmission:
still looking for a decent LT95 for less than 1500$
Rear Diff:
Figuring out how to put the 4.7-Sal-Disc combo together without purchasing a WHOLE >93 diff.
Front Diff:
Waiting for above before ordering all them nice parts from MD
Wheels:
Cheapo 15x8s being refurbished as I type
Tires:
Interco shipment to Lebanon postponed til October (36x12.5 SX to be grooved)...will be running instead on 32" TSL Radials, or 35" Simex Extreme.
That is about it. Will expand and elaborate later on when all is done, and pay the $ for the red star for you sorry asses to enjoy the pics!
Love
