Hey everyone, I've been lurking this forum for a while, reading as much as I can...

In about 25 minutes a delivery truck will be arriving with this for me:


and let me say...I AM SO FREAAAAAAKING EXCITED!

I'm sure I'll be around these parts *ALOT* for advice maintenance and just killing time.

Welcome to the group.
What are you plans for the truck?
Mike

Well, I want to get it back into its kalahari form...
- get the roof rack and sliders back on it -

But first alot of the preventative maintenance I've seen recommended here. Actually, alot of the stuff I've learned in your posts Mike haha


Then after that - toys toys toys

I'd like to do a true 2" lift and fit some more aggressive tires under there.

This will be a weekend/secondary use vehicle, so I won't miss it if it's down for a while when undergoing modifications.

Welcome. That's one sharp looking example of a Disco. I understand your excitement. There's nothing like taking posession of a Disco.

[Dan Erickson]

Welcome!

It is a nice looking truck.

Back into its kalahari form?

So where is Renton and Issaquah?

Great plan in having another vehicle. I remember selling two other vehicles (my only other ones) when I got my disco. When the engine blew, I had to borrow a vehicle for a few months, which pretty much sucked as it was a POS minivan. Man!, I miss that 5.0!!!

Anyway: Congrats on the purchase man!

Peace,

Dan
