I’m back
well tomoro me n pete at moonraker 4x4 are gonna do the bodylift on the disco bobtail

so as i know we all like pics i will take some along the way and also post any difficultys we come across
 
Yea deffo watch the fuel filter pipe,as I didn't,even after green hornet warned me : ( very pleased with it now it's lifted tho.def attracted quite a lot of lift related questions at oxley shaw on Sunday.
 
didnt check the pipe from lift pump and cant check now its too late,but i drove it home so i guess its ok

had to cut off rock sliders which revealed some patching to do on sills which we will do tommorro

rear bumper took the most to sort out

heres a couple of pics will post more when finished

bit more work especially with it bein bobtailed and the rear bumper being welded to the body and the chassis,and also the sliders to the body and chassis had to cut them off

rear seat belt mounts were a bastid to get off anorl
 
seat belt mounts are a **** i had to wind mine down with a breaker bar,never snapped untill almost off,still havent got round to pulling out the pins and replacing them with the extended ones eeeek,are you going to modify the bumper to refit it.

the front bumpers fine but we will mak sure the rear one ends up exactly how it was before the lift so a bit of box section and lots of welding req

i aint got any rear seats in so seatbelts aint an issue:)
 
Who would have thought that 2" would make a lot of difference, but it does and it looks great.

Shame about the rear bumper being extra work but it will look superb once done.

I also had issues with the rear seat belt mounts. Haven't gotten a new pair yet so guess what, no rear seats at the mo. ah well no screaming kids in the back for a while - shame.

Are you going with extensions on the gear levers? I quite like my stubby knob lol

next on the list is to remove existing winch bumper and replace with one that wraps around the front wing corners and is also close fitting

we will then adapt it to fit it higher up to remove the gap left by the body lift
