Showoff Your LR4

[edwolo]

Anyone out there tried the Goodyear Dura Trac 255/55/R19 111S tires on the LR4? The load rating meets specs, but the speed rating is 112 mph (like if I'd ever do more than that here in the US). Tread design is one of the more aggressive traction tires available for this size. $1088 for four installed, balanced, etc.

New KO2s and Voyager Sliders all set to go

KO2s are great. First day out I drove across the stream you see in the picture and climbed up the ice on the other side. They (obviously) did well in snow for me but it wasn't deep.

I'm liking the sliders as well. They can handle a Hi-Lift and support the truck if I settle on a rock. The step is handy but I did have to relearn how to get in and out of the truck. These don't provide as much armor as the Tactical 4x4s but they'll work for me. They were about 60 lbs each. Bolted directly to the frame.

Mud Flaps

I saw them here.

This looks like a new pic. The other one clearly showed the green Land Rover logo.

Can you please post a pic of your fronts and backs? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Sorry took so long for the pic's.

Mud Flaps

Sorry for the quality of the photos but here's another couple angles for you to see how the mud flaps look.

I used to have them on my 2010 however I broke one of them (rear passenger) doing light off-road (LR owners day in VT). These things are too rigid for off-road use. I took them off soon after.

I worried about that before putting them on then saw this vid:

I figured if they could survive this...

Ah ah yes it's a good video. Lots of rock piling to make it through though
As far as me it broke when balancing on 2-3 wheels. Front driver was really high off the ground and then I heard the crack. Funny because after that I did some much more strenuous off-roading without ever touching anything.
Anyway didn't mean to hijack this thread. There probably should be a mud flap thread at this point.

I'm surprised that there's no quick-release mod for the mudflaps...or maybe there is. Seems like it wouldn't be that tough with the right kind of fastener similar to what holds the covers over the front and rear recovery points. Just a thought. I kinda like the look (and function) of the mudflaps for street use.

The rear flaps I had on my old Sport were super flexible (I had to get rid of the front ones when I installed rock sliders on that car), I bent + sandwiched them between rocks and rear bumper more than once and they never even blinked or showed any sign of stress or wear. If anything, they protected the lower bumper from getting scrapes! Too bad the LR4 seems to use a different and more rigid design, I would have considered them otherwise. Especially with the oversized A/T tires I am running, a bit of paint protection from a set of mud flaps would be nice.

Thanks. Okay, you're right, pretty seamless. I'll get them ordered.

Cheers.
