1srt stage of mods to be thrown on my new rig. OME heavy duty lift and some meats. still waitting for my QT diff guards and the stabilizer relocator kit from Safari guard. the cool thing about it is you can use your stock disco damper and the kit cost 69 bucks !!! Sump guards can't go on till the relocator kit get here.. Surco full on safari rack and lader in about December..

i'll post the photos when i get to work <------ umm ya what else do you do at work ehhy...

Funrover · 10-06-2006, 12:35 PM

Looks good man!!!!!!!! I like the tires!

kellijo · 10-06-2006, 12:36 PM

Wow! Your pics ROCK!

I love the name 'Black Pearl'....

siam · 10-06-2006, 12:39 PM

Wheels are from Gulf Coast Rover tires are from Desert Rat 4x4 .. Don't know if it's the way I took the photo but looks like the rear is a tad lower than the front? I hope the shop put the rear and front springs in the right place.. Have to go out in the parking lot to check it one more time..

I was going to mention that. I believe OME springs have labels on them designating which is which..just crawl under realy quick and check it out.

That's exactly right! It's hard to even say that quietly in your head w/out a pirate voice....

It's so clever!

Springs are in it's proper place , I just remember my street is a bit slanted for water drain action.. Arrrrrrrrg!

looks great man

llesra · 10-06-2006, 01:36 PM

looks good dude! just put a spacer in the rear and youll be sitting level. hows the steering with those? with the 285/75/16 tires i just put on, i cant turn nearly as much to avoid radius arm rubbing.

Looking sweet, man. My Disco with the 2" RTE is sagging just a tad in the rear. Steve at RTE said when I put on an aftermarket front bumper, it'll balance out. If I was you, I'd just get a new HD front bumper and then you won't need to put on the spacers.

Right on bro, actually the photo was just taken in an odd angle. I went to the parking lot and checked it out and it was higher in the back. I have to bring a co-worker to make sure my eyes aren't playing tricks on me.
