Whats happening in the magical aftermarket world of the discovery 3?

Whats that got to do with anything? AKAIK the army drive isuzu powers Landrover defenders. This guy is asking about aftermarket stuff for a Landrover discovery and i dont think he meant a mount for a 30 cal machine gun

WTF???

what does that have to do with the price of fish? im not asking what is a tuff 4wd im asking about the aftermarket parts and add-ons available for the disco 3 and similar 4wds (not softroaders). im looking at buying my first 4wd (60 series or old rangie) to kit up and i was wondering what the kids will be buying in twenty to thirty years from now to kit up for their first trip across the desert.

Go for the 60 series without rust if they still exist.
Old rangies belong at the tip.

They only bought them because they could not get Jeeps at the time, and have continued the contract since, much to the army mehanics corp dismay.

ummm... there is a lot of after mkt mods avlb for 70+k 100's

Don't believe everything you read in 4wd mthly - the disco 3 will prob outstrip most 4wd sales.

Truckster
unlike you, most people would only buy one.
They start at 56k for the 4.0i, 65k for the 2.7 td, up to 91 k for the 4.4i Toorak Tractor (how much is the top Tojo TD?)

What Crap Truckster - what Discovery 3 costs $130K?

Get your facts right before you open mouth - better still try engaging the brain before typing.

Model for model Discovery's are priced within a few $,000 of the 100 series Landcruiser so you would have to say that the pricing of the Discovery is competitive with comparable vehicles.

Sure, I wish they were cheaper, I wish Landcruisers were cheaper as well.

As for the original post - there is probably not a lot of after market stuff for the D3 at the moment but it will start to be developed. The odds are that ARB and TJM will not make a lot of stuff but there are plenty od Rover suppliers who will carry stuff made elsewhere.

Room racks are available, bull bars are available, diff locks are available, lights are available, and the rest will be obtainable from somewhere before too long.

Can you read?
What does this say?

(or so I was told, dont care they are ugly)

would you like me to google the meanings for you?

Have a look in the back of a 4wd monthly. The did a story a while back about vehicle depretiation and I'm sure I remember the Rangie being around that price.

The old Truckster is not as feisty as he usually is - I was hoping for a bit more sledging to lift my dreary existence and to waste some of more of my employers time.

Can of spray-on mud off ebay????

Seriously, look at where thay have located the electronics, actuators and such before even considering taking it off road in Australia.

Vastly different design criteria, for vastly different environmental aspects. What works in europe doesn't necessarily work in Oz.

here here!
