Uhhh...why would you want to strip it and what crap serves no purpose? I'm not so good at giving advice...may I offer you a sarcastic comment instead?

Hi Gr
Welcome on board first off 
I dont think you will find there is too much trimming of the fat to be done with your Disco but rather there is plenty to add on
How far are you looking to go in your disco?
Bits you might need are endless - Roof rack, A-frame, winch, LongRange Fuel Tank, Spare wheel carriers, etc etc etc
You think the ladies out there love their accessories...wait til you spend some time in here
enjoy

I have gone through all the posts on coil upgrades and I think I would be happy with 2 more inches, less articulation but higher cruising speed off road , if it comes to making lr3 lighter well I agree and do not agree with you guys
basic should weight around 2.5 tonnes right:
adding winch, underside protection roof rack extra spare, long range tank and more would only make it heavier so I am trying to find people who don some long range preparations on lr3 and have experience with running it in harsh conditions (that would make it weight some 3 T??? )
where I would go in it??
I am thinking of trip to Mongolia, some parts of Russia and African trips later on maybe

I fitted King Springs to our coiler and she's much improved off road, and in my opinion on road too. I got the springs direct from King Springs in Oz. I seem to remember something about a European distributer starting in 2008 in a previous thread. If you intend to import yourself remember to consider the import tax/duty.

It's probably just as well. With a username like that you would have been sprayed with gob a lot. 
Seriously though. If you're going to be taking part in the social/events side of things (which I highly recommend) you might want to change you name to something pronouncable, as you will be known by it forever more. Unless you're Polish of course? If so, I apologise for the slur.
