    Loosing Oil 2004 Disco 66k miles

    I've been keeping an eye on my wifes oil level in her '04 disco with a Bosch engine after noticing a very low dipstick level on a recent oil change. It's been about 2 weeks now and I've put in about 2 extra quarts in to maintain a normal dipstick level. There are no signs of leaking or smoke...

    StrongMan Prep

    Just had this strongman pull my DII couple of weekends ago. He saw my bumper with the recovery points and had to ask if he could pull it. He asked how heavy my DII was and I did the i don't know shrug and he said perfect. So I think this may be the first ever Strong:applause: DII Pull.

    Dilemma?

    I just had the strangest thought. How much longer do you think our indy suppliers will stay around to support our expensive habits? I haven't seen much aftermarket goodies for the LR3's, LR2's, RR's. Are we a dying breed. It's kinda scary to me.

    D1 Pulling to the Right when Braking, "wierd".

    Buddy of mine asked me why his '96 D1 of 160K miles is pulling to the right when braking, and I said, with much confidence..."I don't know" with a smile. So I told him I would check in to it, and here I am. Is this a wierd complaint or is it a common one with the D1's?

    Thought's on Bumper Weight Differences

    I'm stuck on deciding to order either a steel TJM or RTE bumper. I like the look of the TJM but not really a fan of gaining the extra weight, so I'm thinking of the RTE. Is there really that much of a weight difference that I should be concerned with, or am I just being a puss.

    Molle Seat Covers

    Check these seat covers out. I think these are pretty conventional. I wonder if they would fit? With the molle set up you could go all kinds of ways with this.:shoot: www.smittybilt.com/product/index/45.htm

    '03-'04 Disco Brushbar Mounting Hardware

    Just wondering if anyone has the hardware for mounting the '03-'04 LR brushbar just lying around collecting dust. I don't mind if they are used, just not mangled. This would be for the wife's '04 Disco. Thanks

    Dealer Negotiation Input's

    Time to get another disco, and I'm looking for some input. The dealer has a '04 HSE Disco with 28k miles listed at 23k, and I'm looking to trade in my wife's '02 SE of 71k miles. The dealer offered $586 per month at 5.9% for 60mths, I think I can get it better than that. This is where you...

    Well, I'm needing some assistance in my argument against the court and to save you from the long story, I'll get down to the basic part of my concern. I was issued a ticket for a moving violation (not speeding), which was fine because I was clearly in the wrong and would've gladly paid my...
