Hello all. Can't quite explain why it took so long, but I have had my Disco for 2 years and am just now finding this wealth of information. As is the polite thing to do, I have searched the forum before I am asking these questions.

I have a 2000 Disco II with ACE.

I have seen info on lifts and 33' tires. Are there any photos available and feedback from people who have done this?

Winshield wipers? Is there a good source that does not leave you feeling raped?

Tires - I have Kuhmo's on factory 18s. If I do not lift, I will need new tires soon. Any suggestions. I have over 30K on the Kuhmos but I am always looking for input and vendors.

TIA

With windshield wipers, I went with refills that fit pretty close. AFIK, there is no place to get a full replacement for less than ~$40 each.

Tires are all over. I had BFG All-Terrain T/A, and I loved them. Couldn't afford a new set of 4, so I'm running WildCat A/T now. Seem to be good, if only a 4-ply . . .

Haven't done a lift, yet, so I can't help you on that one.

As far as the lift goes:

1. Pictures.
2. Will ACE be a problem with it?
3. How is ride quality and mileage afected?
4. Any other insights from some one who has explored the process?

i don't have any pics yet, and i don't have ace. I can say that mine rides better than it did stock alot better "feel" on and offroad. I think the mileage was only affected slightly. I have an OME lift on my jeep wrangler also I love both of 'em good quality stuff.
