I feel out of place - 4/7/2008 10:09:42 AM    youngmoney   Posts: 9 Joined: 4/7/2008 Status: offline I love this forum, but it seems to me that everyone here is more about off roading and lifting their Land Rovers, I don't have a problem with that, but its really not my thing, I love reading about your trips, but if anyone is out there that has a question out rims, systems, tvs, or anything custom. Hit me up. _____________________________ 03 disco sitting high and ridin' loud!! Post #: 1

I see far less lifting and wheeling here than in many other forums and I am sorry that you feel left out. I think in the Disco section it is more prevalent than in the Range Rover section. Disco's are very capable off road and the cost is less than a Range when it comes to wanting to mutulate a vehicle, hence the reason you see more Disco's than Range's on the trail. You will learn a lot here and it is always fun to see what others do with their spare time. (in reply to Landzu) Post #: 4

When I bought my first Land Rover in 1974 it was estimated that 85% of 4WD's were rarely, if ever, taken off-road. I'd say that percentage is in the high 95% + range now. _____________________________ Tom Rowe Four wheel drive allows you to get stuck in places even more inaccessible. 62 88 reg 67 NADA x2 74 Air Portable - The Antichrist (tag 6A666) 95 D1 95 D90 (in reply to Landzu) Post #: 5

I've got some experience installing stereos, etc. in my other vehicles and I'm always up to read posts about them. _____________________________ 2003 Land Rover Discovery S So... let me get this straight.

I'm kinda like yourself, on the opposite side of the fence. I like to lower my vehicles, lower center of gravity and better handling. I found my sig pic from eBay. I forgot what was being auctioned, but once I saw the lowered stance, I liked it. Yes, I'm aware my sig pic is not a Disco.  _____________________________ Mike L. 98 Disco 4.0 (in reply to jmt) Post #: 8

It just appears that way because these trucks are SO capable off road that people serious about off-roading will often choose a Disco.  It just is what it is.  That doesn't mean that there aren't many people who stay on the road.  I use mine mostly on the highway, but the 4 wheel drive comes in handy in snow and the occasional fishing trip.  Sure, I love the way it looks, and that's partly why I chose it.  Now that I have it I love how it tows, love the seating, love the way it's built, and those are the reasons I keep it.  Anyway, I'm not a big-time off-roader either.  I DON'T EVEN WANT CDL!  (I'll bet that statement made some of you gasp!)  Welcome to the club. _____________________________ DIFFERENT DRUMMER 2003 Land Rover Discovery SE7 (Dark Gray...
