LS swapped 2004 Discovery, Air Lockers, HD axles. Prefer Trade for 200 or 300tdi 90.

[SubieSTIg]

Looking into possibly trading/selling my aluminum 5.3 LS swapped 2004 Discovery. Has about 20k mile on the swap and the body has 110k. No rust, Nevada truck. Asking price would be 35k, would rather trade for a daily driver 300tdi 90. Ideally 1995 or earlier so I can just register it with a bill of sale in my state.

Location: Wells, Maine

Swap is completely turn key, no lights, functional traction control. Everything just works.

LS6 Valley pan
Radium Fuel rails
Lunati stage 1 truck cam
PSI performance wiring harness and ECU
Stock Rover HP24 trans Hooked up using an ACE conversion kit.
Ashcroft HD axles
Ashcroft airlockers F+R
6 Baja designs LP6’s
ARB front bumper

BajaRack roof rack
Warn VR10 winch with synthetic line

I love this thing, but I just took a job with a longer commute and would love the gas mileage from a 300tdi. Would prefer a 90 because I already have a 110.

What kind of mpg are you currently getting?

 

[SubieSTIg]

16-17 highway, 14-15 city

Fantastic, good luck with the sale

Bumping this up. Still looking for a 90. RHD is perfectly acceptable. Disco was out at Greek Peak last weekend and did fantastic on the trails, and even better on the road trip.

Yet another vehicle I missed seeing at Greek Peak.

There is a 15k defender on the other board under “ road kill” thread

 

[SubieSTIg]

Not a 15k Disco, at all. Public sales of both LS swapped Discos and RHD 90’s in driver shape show this is a reasonable ask.

Of course not, just an inexpensive defender - and you might be able to keep both

Sorry if this is hampering a sale... but I've got to ask, do you have a build thread? any info on the swap? My dad's D2 motor recently died and I'm weighing options...

 

[SubieSTIg]

I don’t have a build thread, but I’ll DM with my email so we can discuss in detail.

Forgot, sunroofs were just replaced with warrantied units front and rear. Rear is not plugged in at the motor side due to BajaRack clearance. Any sale or trade will also come with a brand new ARB front bumper. The one currently on the Disco has some ‘patina’ from various off road outings.

 

[SubieSTIg]

Dropping price to 32k. Found a 90 locally I want. Just got a brand new windshield and all Genuine Land Rover surrounding trim.

 

[cole@stagAC]

Is this still for sale? Sent you a dm.

 

[SubieSTIg]

DM’d you back @cole@stagAC

 

[SubieSTIg]

Pending sale

 

[SubieSTIg]

Sold!

Very Nice, I like the stance. I‘ve just started an LS swap into my Discovery 2. May I ask how much lift this rig has? I’m thinking I need 3-4” to run 33s.

 

[SubieSTIg]

3.5 inches of lift
