Great thread, thanks for going into so much detail, planning to build something similar in the new year. I'll have lots of questions for you RE your opinion on various items.

have you replaced the grill spot lights? they look smaller than the originals you fitted

thoughts on the spare wheel carrier?

location of second battery?

thanks
Dan

Thanks Dan, Always willing to help - Feel free to ask away!

I fitted LED spots yes, 2 of these bad boys & they are FANTASTIC. Not some cheap chinese light. http://www.extremelights.co.za/product/lyr...500-lumen/

The spare wheel carrier is great, makes the car look awesome and makes space for a long range tank. I opted to keep the spare underneath so have 2 spares - In remote africa finding a 19" tyre to fit the Disco isnt easy.

I fitted the secondary battery next (In front) to the main battery - see image below.

Jetlag, can i hire you to do up my D4 when I get it?

On a more serious note, did moving the spare wheel to the back not make the vehicle tail-happy?

You are most welcome to! Would love to mod the D4 again!
To be honest, I haven't noticed the car being tail happy. I still have the original spare at the bottom, doing a lot of overland trips nothing beats having 2 spare wheels.
