Make sure not to carry any weight in that...220lbs in the rear won't carry much...I'm having trouble with the 300-340s, and going to 360s soon.

I have 220lb in my rangie and yes it wont carry much but IMO it's fine for me and others i know. I wouldn't think that the rear of a disco is much hevier then a Rangie..... but it could be wrong

I do have a garage, a storage area, and alot of other places to store the roof rack, previous bumpers, tires, wheels, jerrycans, dented hood...etc...want me to list what I have there???
No, seriously, back in the scouts, I was always the guy with ALL the things "'cause you never know when you might need..."...you get, so I guess it reflected into 'wheeling...i HATE to be dependant on others, so I make sure that I go out, play hard, and mend hard, on my own...
