I have been building up my discovery for some time now and I'm not nearly finished with it yet.
Many know my discovery from working with it from seeing it on the trail or in a meeting.
I don't have many performace mods. However I do try to make the most of what I have which is Rovertym offroad suspension with Rovertracks beefy steering and Aggresive BFG Mud Tires on Procomp steel rims. In the coming weeks and months I live nothing happen I plan to install a Heavy Duty Front bumper, further enhance my suspension kit. Add rocker proctection possible lower gears while at the same time making sure that my Discovery is running in good condition. I'm really thankful that I've met Alot of you of NCLR and will continue to support and be a member of NCLR.
heres a few photos of how she came along
Stock
2" OME with 265's
4" RTE with 33x10's

Got rid of the tan, eh? Still looks good, and I like that you painted the OME. Are those letters on the hood removable? It seems everytime you post your truck has a new name. :D
Disco12
09-06-2008, 09:57 PM
the letter were painted on using stencils
the name will remain J Crawler:D
thank you Brenton:)

Thank You Brenton!
not yet. that's going to happen after the event.:D
I took the truck to a driveline shop and had them look at my current u-joints and it checked out fine a couple of nuts were loose but that was it. It's looking like I'm ok for now!;)

J - are you needing a front or back drive shaft? If you need a front one, I'll bring an extra to the event so you have a spare laying around just in case...
