8 Cylinder vs 6 Cylinder
I really like the power I get from my v8. Wish all models came with HD. Mostly I wish they would puta larger gas tank in these things! The twice weekly (filling tank) reminder that the thing gets crappy MPG is a bit much.- ClearwaterScott

Hiddden Winch Install -- Estimate
@ncburch22-- I'm based in Missouri. I'm certain the shop didn't want to mess with the install so gave me a crazy high estimate. I ended up doing the install myself. It's not 100% professional but frankly wasn't all that difficult.- ClearwaterScott

Lug nut Mystery
During the research phase I emailed gorilla direct regarding part fit for the Competitive wheels. Here is the response: From the website it appears that the wheels are designed to use the OEM lug nuts. If that is correct, my part number 75148RBC is a black “Land Rover” style lug nut designed...- ClearwaterScott

Lug nut Mystery
Thanks for the feedback. The shop that installed my wheels/tires is a great place, they equip various vehicles for the Pikes Peak Hill Climb and I would defiantly recommend. Rex Tires in COLO Springs, CO. In the ideal I am sure he is correct, I should use lugs identical in shape to the OME. If...- ClearwaterScott

Hiddden Winch Install -- Estimate
@geoffx19 -- Did you use the terrafirma mount? I have cut the plastic back around the top front edge of the mount and notched out the freespool handle (that I had to clock back to 9:00 because of the lack of vertical clearance. Do you have a photo or two you could post? It would be most...- ClearwaterScott

Hidden Winch Install
I have been making progress on the install. I picked up a 4 inch grinder and have nearly completed the cutting of the plastic bumper. Tomorrow I hope to have time to cut the opening for the rope. Slow and steady. I also clocked the winch and rotated the handle to the front. Avoided the...- ClearwaterScott

One bit of information I can add bit of insight for those attempting this install: There is no need to drill out the captive nuts. After dissembling all of the pieces I inserted the original bolt a slight...- ClearwaterScott

Question about the factory hitch reciever
I finally was able to get my hitch to recede and attach to the vehicle. It took a multiplier wrench and a rubber mallet. My second disappointment in the LR. $500+ hitch should be functional.- ClearwaterScott

Hiddden Winch Install -- Estimate
I picked up a terra-firma hidden winch mounting plate and got a great deal on a superwinch. Reviewing a number of sites on how to go a about doing the install I got scared away from doing the project myself. I just don't feel like I am ready to cut pieces out of the bumper. I emailed a local...- ClearwaterScott
