Well, so long bluerunner...

Hello GREENROVER666!!!

:hehe:

[Doin_It]

Well done, may the fun continue.

[Scenic WonderRunner]

Hey Blue!

Nice to see you back around.

Let me know how you like it!

Do they really break a lot?

I was actually checking those out online yesterday. You can find them about 6 years old or more with under 60K miles for under $10,000.

I'm getting pretty tired of my Toyota 3.0 engine woes! ....and those Disco's look so comfy!

[bluerunner]

It's good to be back SWR!!!

I really got fed up with my 3.0 headaches and the Disco is alot more comfy!

:jump:

OH!.........

So I'm NOT alone with the 3.0 woes!

I feel SO much better now!.....LOL:rolleyes: :p

I wish somebody had told me about this engine BEFORE I bought my truck!

Don't get me wrong! I LOVE my truck! It's the perfect size.....and fits me well! I LOVE IT!

I just wish I could put a more reliable engine in it.....preferably a diesel! Or at last resort.....just ditch it!....hehe:Wow1:

But if I just ditch it.....the panic attacks might set in!......LOL:eek:


I got you PM the other day....thanks....just didn't have time to answer right at that moment.

[Scott Brady]

Congrats! What year is the Rover? Cool color :)

[Jonathan Hanson]

Very nice looking Disco. I hope you'll keep us informed on any modifications.

That 3-liter was just not Toyota's best engine. The 3.4 swap is becoming a common remedy.

[CLynn85]

Congratulations!!! Looks like you're already out having fun with it. Any plans?

As for the 3.0 woes, were the 22RE's not available in the 4-runner?

[BajaTaco]

CONGRATS!! :clapsmile Cool pics :ylsmoke:

[bluerunner]

Thanks everyone,

I love her so much and I plan to come up with a nice CDL option and either a 3'' Rovertym or 3'' OME kit, a Jotto desk and my laptop to run maps and music and wireless.

Opinions on the rims???

:rolleyes:

[CLynn85]

I think the black wheels look fine, would prolly paint the lugs too or get regular lugs so they don't stick out like a sore thumb.

Pretty color on the disco.

Is that just a random series you parked next to or your own?

[bluerunner]

Thanks CLynn,

It's my series, and your opinions are appreciated!

:D

[Scott Brady]

What year is the disco? 2001 and prior allows for the CDL retrofit. Later requires additional cost, but still feasible through a company in NM.

[datrupr]

Very nice Disco. That color is great, and it looks good with the black wheels. Good job and congrats.:clapsmile

[bluerunner]

Thanks Datrupr,

I decided to keep the stock rims but I like them to match the rest of the trim, will probably go with the 285/65-18 all terrain unless anyone has any other sugg's.

Scott- it's a 2000 and I have seen a few different ideas for the CDL but not quite sure which to go with, what did you use? I watched the videos of your old one and I see that it is now a must to have it completed before our trip to Durango.

CLynn- The 22R motors were offered and the 3.4 swap is a growing mod, but the 22 will remain for the purist I guess.


J Hanson- Thanks for your kudos! I also got a chance to finally meet Jake at our local parts store and discuss some plans and ideas for front and rear bumpers and sliders.What an awesome guy with a great talent, hope his ventures go well!

I do like how everything folds pretty flat out back!

[bluerunner]

HAHA SWR!!!

I would support your decision, that would be a fun build!

you should try and find that coil sprung model!

:chowtime:

[ShearPin]

Any plans for your Series III?

Looks to me as though you have the best of both worlds... I've got a friend in Colorado who loves his Disco II and drives a Series IIa. The Disco's seem to be a nice blend of mechanical components and poise and grace.

I have a few plans for it but plan to satisfy some ideas with the Dll before tackling the Slll.

I made my own, by taking a piece of flat stock and machining in the 10mm slot. Then I used a mini-heim and connected a 12" long handle to the lever. The handle ran between the body and frame, and was secured with a small braket. Super simple and robust solution.

[bluerunner]

Was it something like this Scott???

Was it a pain?

[Scott Brady]

Hey, thats it :) Mine was a little different (longer lever), but essentially the same. Worked perfect.

[edgear]

this looks vaguely familiar. Does it happen to be "Sh!t Creek" (near I-10 and Ruthrauff)??

I had my little dirtbikes out there and thought I would see how she liked the mud, very impressed with the way we just walked through it.
