Upgrading the disco

Brush Guard

18/10/2018

One of the rarely seen options for the Discovery 2 is the factory Land Rover Brush Guard. Just as the Disco2 went into production, the rules in Europe changed in regards to pedestrian safety. The first year got the tubular metal guard and the later years got a rubberized model that did the Rover no favours in the looks department.

So not many were installed and even fewer have survived the 17 to 14 years. I had this one sitting in the basement, collecting dust. With all my boat projects temporarily wrapped up, it was time to clean it, paint it, and install it.

It really changes the whole look of the Truck.

I still need to clean up the headlight guards and then decide what lights I want to run in the opening.

    I brought home my Disco over 4 years ago when I bought my SeaSprite 23. I needed a vehicle that was not a pickup for both towing and daily driving duties. The fact that I did not want an American SUV led me to either a BMW X5 or a Land Rover. I could not afford the 5er, so this lovely red Disco it was.
