Finally got rid of that grass catching plastic thing with those fog lights.

Maybe you can the diffence, not sure how well the pics came out.

I can sense the beginning to more changes.

Very nice...Looks great......Now it's time to go wheeling...errrrrr.....urban assulting!!!!! That looks clean.....I like it without the lower fairing!!

 

[DallasRover]

I like it........... :drink1:

 

[DiscoPilot]

That Looks great very clean. I did the same thing to mine.... with a rock and an embankment i believe there was a WOO HOO and a SWEET thrown in there during the process except I lost the plastic endcaps in the process.
Here is what mine looks like ....

Damn hole didn't look deep

Does this "chop" on the front end apply to the 94 RR Countys with the plastic bumpers? Mine has the fog lights (which don't work), and I was wondering if that section of the bumper is removable or do I have to do some cutting.

 

[texasrover]

Oh, not sure about the RRs this one had the center section and full end caps on each side of the bumper. I removed the center and took a grinding wheel with a cutting disk on it to the end caps. The nice part was the crease was already there for me from the factory.... I just followed it around the cap. It was a little rough at first but a simple file smoothed out the underside.

Not a lot of planning on my part. Just something I started and seemed to finish with success. If I plan this stuff out too much, I plan myself out of it.

I can see, I need a skid plate for the front, that steering arm is begging to be bent.

I can build one pretty easy... if I make it out of aluminum would that be worth a damn or should I stick to steel. I think a little polished aluminum diamond plating would look pretty tough.

What Kind of bar is that, and do you know if it will work on a 98' DI? On or off your truck looks sweet!!!

It's removable. There are a bunch of bolts and screws under there. No cutting required. Just take a look down there.

My truck is a 98 Discovery. It is the "A frame Brush Bar... (I think that is what they call it).

Thanks for the compliment, I do appreciate it.

hey....looking good! +1 to the cut bumper club!

Did the same with my DII only a couple months ago.....though on DII's its a little harder;

BRUSH BAR - A FRAME
Item: 9398
Model: Discovery I In Stock! $269.95

I got this from the Brithish Atlantic site. Is this the same bar?

I also have a 98 DI but Blue. I like the look of your bar and if you don't mind can you let me know what lights you have mounted as well.

 

[keptin]

his main lights are Land Rover-Hella Rallye 5000's.....not sure about the small ones though.

 

[oceanswithin]

Thanks Josh BTW your truck gets mad props as well.

 

[keptin]

thx.....its my life atm.....ive got LROCD.

 

[texasrover]

Yep, Hellas 5000's the other lights are my replacements for the fogs. They are... PIAA's. I dont recall the model number but they are the egg shaped ones. Not too bad, certainly light up the road in front of you. Not sure what preference you have but these shine yellow on the road. Strange because they look blue when you look in the lens.

 

[texasrover]

BTW, the A frame Brush bar you mentioned is the right one. Keep in mind that plastic cap on the from of your bumper holding your license plate will have to come off. Trust me it is a good trade off.

 

[texasrover]

Here is a better look!
