Granted most of these changes happened in 03, but some were ironed out (oiling failures) by 04 whilst new issues came about (slipping block liners).1985 M10b18. 70maybewhpoffury. Over engineered S50b30 murica BBQ swap in progress.

Lets say hypothetically one wanted to do a motor/trans swap into a disco. Something like a 5.3 out of a Tahoe but lets ignore the engine/trans for now.
What are the pros and cons to the various discos over the years minus their engine and trans?
Which one would you start with?

LR trivia tidbit - Land Rover based the original RR mechanical design on the early Bronco, with long coils and radius arm suspension.
But to answer the question, my bias is the early D1's with coils. 94, 95 are good I think. We have a 95. Decent injection system, pretty reliable, great suspension, fewer electronic luxury things, and shorter and lighter than the big butt D2. Stay away from air springs and electronics until the LR3, which is an amazingly capable car for it's size.

Originally posted by Holland View PostI really love my D1, but it's a total trail truck with horrible road manners. That was fine when I bought it, but I haven't been able to hit a trail with it for quite some time as it's on DD status. Definitely wish I was DDing a D2 at the moment.
I DD mine with 2.5" of lift and 33s. Can't hear the stereo over the tire noise over 45 mph. You need to move out here. We'll hit the trails ERRYWEEKEND.1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5
