    I had 265/65-18’s before the 16” wheels. And had no rubbing during hard flexing. It did rub at full lock, however.

    Nope, stock everything. I need some OME HD shocks though. 265’s equate to about a 32” tire

    swapped the 18” wheels for some 16”s and installed my sand ladders, they work well in snow! Running 265/75-16 tires with no ill effects, no rubbing at full lock or under hard flexing.

    Went out in the snow a while back and played, I’m constantly impressed at how sure footed these D2’s are!

    That is correct, 2003 4.6 engines and some 2004 4.6’s have a misaligned alignment dowel for the timing cover that causes stress on the planetary gears and causes them to fail as pictured. Well considering I don’t make that much, it’s gonna be as cheaply as possible while retaining high quality...

    No problem! I work on these all the time so if you have any questions just shoot me a message. I would highly suggest replacing the timing cover/oil pump unit as one, the screws don’t always want to come out of the pump. But I’ll include a picture of the oil pump out of an 03 similar to the one...

    Mine taps too, they all have funky noises. Mine is a lifter, but since yours is a 2003 I would investigate your oil pump as they have a rather troubling tendency to fail on those engines due to a defect in the block casting. I have fixed several, you just need to remove the lower alignment dowel...

    Thanks! I actually work on discos for a living, so thankfully I have lots of practice [emoji23] any recommendations on gear to make it a little more “adventure ready”?

    Hey folks, just joined the community and am looking forward to contributing in any way I can! I bought my Disco about three months ago, it was bone stock with a Voyager roof rack. Pictures will sort of explain the evolution as the thread goes on
