Always loved Landies, new to the forums

Hey all, I figured that I would finally join these forums since I now own my 6th Land Rover. My father and I run a used car business in San Antonio called Fox Enterprise and we deal a lot of used Land Rovers. When I was 16 I bought my first vehicle ever, a 1996 Land Rover Discovery with 112K miles for $1,800 and never looked back. My next was another 1996 Disco, but this time it had a roof rack, A/T tires, and the OME lift. I've had a few more Disco IIs after that and a 1999 Range Rover.

I recently came into my nicest Land Rover yet. A 2003 Discovery SE with 65K miles, 265/75/16 BF Goodrich A/T's, and a large lift. The problem is that as the vehicle was traded in to the Land Rover San Antonio dealership and I bought it from them wholesale through my families business, I don't know hardly anything about the truck. I think the rock sliders on it are Safari Gard, and it has CDL, but I have no clue what lift it has. The shocks are Rancho, and it has the 3 degree correction radius arms. When I got it the Transfer case was shot because the lift is high enough to screw up the driveline, and just from looking at it I can tell its 3+ inches easily. I replaced the Transfer case and it drives great now, but I am thinking about going with some heavy duty CV driveshafts so that this T-case doesn't get screwed up.

I'm going to be asking for a lot of opinions on a winch bumper, roof rack, and lights over the next few weeks (trying to get this truck ready for summer) so I figured you all could help! See ya around the forums.

Post some pics of it in the DII tech section. If you lift the truck up on jack stands and take a pic of the spring/shock setup with the tire off, we may be able to tell you which springs you have simply on color, if they're new enough and clean enough. Also, look for painted on markings on the springs. If they have an RR#, you can match them on Rovertym's website to their products. For driveshafts, call Bill Davis at Great Basin Rovers, in SLC. He has what you need in stock, at a good price.
