Thinking about trading for this Discovery. What should I be looking for? Or should I just continue my Early Bronco build?
Absolute no knowledge of Rovers. Need HELP

I'm in love with that Disco! That roll cage is nice! As for what to look for, leaks, engine strength. Rust which it looks pretty clean.

I think I have seen him post up in this forum somewhere. Seems like a pretty cool truck. Early Bronco's remind me of Defenders.

That is one HELL of a Disco. I don't know if I have seen one built up so much like that. That guy has to have like 30k+ into that thing.

I think he traded a race truck or something for that last year. It is a serious rig. A lot of think about as your first rover, but then again, it seems as though almost everything has been done to it already. Its really more of a hardcore offroad rig than an overlanding rig. Just depends on what you are looking for...

Yeah, I wouldn't even consider it for overland use.

Four wheel drive allows you to get stuck
in places even more inaccessible.

There are four LR's in my garage.
Keep the EB unless that Disco is EXACTLY what you want.
If it's not exactly what you want, send me the Bronco and I'll send you my '94 Disco.
No, it's not as pretty and shiney as that one, but it does have HD axles, lockers and real bumpers.
D'ya want looks or go? There is no right answer, but I think the EB will ultimately be more flexible for you to make it what you want it to be.
Don't worry, you're biodegradable.

I don't see a price anywhere on it.

There was a long FS thread for that truck on discoweb.

The DiscoWeb thread on that truck was awesome
