Carnt wait for the pics of the mods. Sounds like you got some good ones happening.
I thought the lt77 would have lasted longer then that. What were you doing to it??
The dies for the holey bushes should be ready mid January so we should have some made not long after that (hopefully before the end of january)

Wouldnt need to do Half these mods if you bought a decent car in the first place..
Way to much time and cash going in to these vehicles
..
J/k..
But should get some decent responses.. assuming this gets posted.
Go buy a Nissan Patrol.. GQ preferably... Much cheaper and stronger for a base...

Having owned and modified the Disco for the past 5 years, and currently bought a 2002 GU shorty, I can seriously say that there is a beautiful sensation when driving the Disco, eventhough it does take a lot more to make it withstand the 35"s...
The Patrol is a great car, but I compare it to my old '95 Honda Accord(they were even the same color)...its just that the Patrol is higher up...
Anyways, I will be modifying the Patrol once the Disco is done, and it will be the truck I will be using and abusing for the comps. The Disco is just too pretty, and the electric windows and 5 doors are not too keep on being bashed around...
HOWEVER
Should a person own one vehicle for everything, I think the Land Rovers are the best. They offer everything...EVERYTHING!
they truely are the best 4x4xfar
