Default Essential Mods
Hi guys n girls,

As some of you may have read, im in the market for a DISCO or maybe a Defender.

Since im still working out a budget, what moddifications would you class as essential?

I will be using my disco/defender for day to day driving as well as off road and green laneing. Im looking for a LPG one or a petrol one I will convert into LPG.

Do you really need a recovery winch and a snorkle? or could they wait for a little bit? That kinda thing I need to know.

Also where could I get the mods and what kinda prices we talking?

Many thanks

jonny!
PS sorry if this is in the wrong part of the fourm but couldnt find a proper place to put it!

You don't need any Mods apart from a decent set of tyres.

A good set of All terrains (AT) tyres will do you fine. Drive you disco around do a few greenlanes and then decide what Mods if any you need. Don't go out alone and make sure you have decent recovery points front and rear. and a Good strong rope or strop. and decent shackles.

Yeah... for the gimp. If you haven't seen the gimp yet, then it could just be that you are the gimp.

Try here: bow shackle - Google Image Search
