I just saw this on CL and would like to know what to look for if I check it out. I have access to a 98 LR in a PNP that I could get the whole drivetrain out of for backup parts.

sorry if its too noob of a question. Feel free to delete the thread if its unworthy

as I doubt I would get much info on the newbie board.

No

Unless you are interested in heartbreak, pain, poverty and humiliation, walk away from it.

But then, you might already be married

LOL, if he's a Scout man, he needs a Series truck!

muskyman · 07-10-2008, 07:58 AM

I have to disagree there Paul...the disco1 drives very much like a scout, having had a number of scouts over the years going from a scout to a disco is a nice step up in creature comforts while keeping the 100" whelbase that works so well off road.

I have always felt the disco is like a modern scout they just both fall into the same purpose built class of trucks.

heck I sold my scout after I started building my disco and I had enough into it to have bought a defender

I was referring to carburetor and breaker point ignition.
