if you had £1k to spend..................?

[MudRat]

what would you buy for a standard disco???  :-.

[MuddyMachine]

Its got to be springs, shocks and some big rubber

[Bulli]

yup thats the key things to do first. trailing arms if you can sneak em into the budget lol

[extreme90]

a decent suspention and some good tyres i'd say aswel
dont forget a jigsaw for when its bobtailed  :twisted: :twisted:

ok, ill get me coat

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

  :D   2 inch spacers at 60 quid,longer  brake pipes at 50 quid, 2 inch body lift 125 quid, 32s mud tyres at 400 quid, droop shock and turret mounts also dislocate top hats . cut over hangs off. 200 quid worth of rebel underbelly protection  :dance:

[Mr Alford]

qt rose jointed trailing arms, qt radius arms, qt dislocation cones, a frame joint, roof light bar plus lights, rear door chequer plating, steering guard, hid kit, then id spend the rest on chequer plating the inside of the car instead of carpet that loves to soak up the water and mud

[narked]

I'd pay the bill for my gearbox replacement when I get the Disco back...

However if I wasn't awaiting a large garage bill and had £1k to spend, I'd go for M/Ts, snorkel, underbody protection, lighting and recovery gear. Depending how much that swallowed up, I'd start looking at suspension.

Sounds like a good place to start.

[Iain C]

Boot floor, sills, inner wings, AA membership... :-k

[GREENI]

I'd buy a 90....Double winched, double lockered, caged, the whole wish list...cuz you can !!!

for a bag of sand?? ill have 3 please

[boss]

oi oi if you want to do your suspention up you could buy mine...theres nothing wrong with it but its just the wrong set up for me :doh:
its 4 +2" ome heavy duty springs, 4 rough country +5" dampers, gwyn lewis rear shock mounts, -1" twin front shock mounts, 4 x-springs
as i say theres nothing wrong with it all, no road use and the only off road use its seen is me testing the articulation but there are a few scratches from the instilation of it all. its all sold together if your intrested.

[MudRat]

Boss PM sent :dance:

[Disco Matt]

Steering guard, winch bumper, tree sliders, fuel tank guard, and a set of tyres.

If you can't stretch to all of that, leave the winch bumper and tree sliders until later. If you need new shocks and bushes buy them first - they will make it a lot more pleasant to drive on road!

[Jake]

I'd buy a desent set of tyres and a tank of fuel
You wont have much change then  ;)

[Smego]

A big for sale sign and a load of advert space.

[stuntman]

£300 for the elastic-trickery bill,
£300 on steel,
£100 on welding consumables,
£100 on grinding consumables
£200 on galvanising

Then I'd:

Make up a winch bumber front and rear,
Make up a full length roof rack with folding front section
And then get the roof rack Galvanised.


Or I'd use the £1000 to:

Buy a good rolling disco chassis and get it galvanised,
and put the change towards buying a good 3 door body shell I could make a king cabesque car from.


all just thoughts

I thought it said 10k 

[thermidorthelobster]

I'm with tyres and suspension, and underbody protection with any change.

[freeagent]

HD steering bars, good service all round, new clutch, cam belt and brakes...

Then a set of good mud tyres, sill protection and a fuel tank bash plate...

[Dr Evil]

I'd buy a cheap Disco for £300, then spend the rest at Spearmint Rhino  [-o< :clap:

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

find an old one unbolt all the goodies and sell the rest of the truck for spares and have even more readies for future toys  :dance:

[davidlandy]

I would spend it on 35" simex tyres and a 2" lift if i had enough left!

[Gav_T]

I would go for arches £200ish, insa turbo special tracks £400 and a 2" lift which you can get for around £200ish but i would spend the extra and got for this http://www.llama4x4.com/page3.htm

Gav.

[Terranosaurus]

I'd sell the Disco and look for a Patrol.

[clbarclay]

If you haven't already got some then recovery points and recovery gear would be my first priority, doesn't matter what you got, one thing all 4x4s have in common is the ability to get stuck.

After that a suitable set of tyres.

Once you have the basics right then start tweaking the rest of the vehicle.

[Range Rover Blues]

A properly sorted lift with all the arms and bushes etc. plus a set of M/Ts (if they are remoulds) will just about blow the budget.

[Bulli]

I'd sell the Disco and look for a Patrol.

OI!! what you doing on here ?? lol  ;)
