Team Six Stripes Three Pips and a Crown

Hello All!

Just a quick update on our 95 Landrover Discovery

Had lots of fun pulling people out of ditches during the snow, and during one towing mission, my wagon was christened

SNOW PANZER

I quite like that....

Anyway, she is a 3 Door Disco, 35in BFG Mud Terrains, 4in lift, castor corrected trailing arms and radius arms and polybushed all round

QT diff guards front and rear, Superwinch Husky up front and a Safety Devices roof rack on top.

Still bits to do with her, new windscreen for one (the autoglass adverts are true!)

Might look at some better storage ideas for the back.

So, any fellow Disco people got any good ideas?

Sounds good!!! Got any piccys??

Will get some on here soonest,

My profile pic is SNOWPANZER on a green laning trip over christmas



Think I was recovering a G Wagon......

Haha!! Looks like you are recovering SNOWPANZE manually!!!

Welcome aboard guys... I got a 300 tdi and am looking at getting some boxes for the back. Thinking about a two teir system with a shelf built to make it easier to get to all the boxes.

If I get anything done before you do... I'll post on it.

Any word on your storage boxes for the back of your wagon?

My disco is going into Challenger 4x4 at Tongham on tuesday 25 may for a bit of TLC and an MOT, good to see Paul Bass is on the rally too!

Took a trip down Water Lane south of Alton on Tuesday night, manages to rescue a Shogun and a Freelander on road tyres but in the process smashed both rear lights reversing up the lane while I pulled them out!

Good lane though, well recommended.

Hia Iain.
Are you going to put an engine in that thing or are you still going to pull it around the rally.

Sandy.... you didn't have SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) with you in Iraq... did you...?!!!

No, I was there in 03, 04, 06, 07, 08 and Gill was there in 05.

All works out!


(though we were both in Afghanistan in 07 though......)

Gill and I had a fantastic day thank you, the weather was lovely.

Well,

the wagon has passed it MOT thanks to all at Challenger 4x4 (thanks Paul and Lucy)

Got some nice new X-Eng lights on the roof rack and some other bits bolted on!

Not going to do a practice pack, pack early, pack twice!

Lots of work done in the sunshine yesterday!




Incidentally, the 'soft focus' isnt a posh effect, its my broken exercise camera!

Here thats looks rather tidy.
I do like the 'camo' effect in the foto number 4

and whats under the cargo net on bonnet?

Under the bonnet net is a piece of black foam, useful for protecting the bonnet when its got recovery straps and shackles on it and its good for using when sorting things underneath*






*Underneath Jap vehicles obviously

looking good, but for me its far to clean!!!! far far far to clean!!!

Looking good!!

Yours will have to be clean for the start Harry, it's in the rules. Will it hold together when you wash the crud off???
