Are you a Land Rover Newbie?  

Where do I start?

It’s a question that comes up daily either online or on the Tech Line at work.  Someone just got a Discovery, Range Rover or Freelander and wants to modify it.  Invariably, they always ask where to start as if it is a simple question.  Only problem is that it’s probably the most difficult question of Land Rover ownership.

The way one builds, modifies or customizes one’s Rover is an individual statement, a representation of not only personality but of their needs. There’s nothing intrinsically wrong with ANY modification as long as it doesn’t put anyone’s safety in jeopardy, but before even asking the question of where to start, one has to do some soul searching.

Are you planning to take your Land Rover off road?  If so, how often? Be realistic though, even those of us who live to get dirty often can’t fit it in the schedule more than a few good trips per year. Are you willing to compromise the on-road handling for off-road capability? If so- how much?  See where I’m going with this?      Click here to keep reading....
