Your thoughts on the Ineos Grenadier?
Wow, so many great quotes, nice article. I will reserve judgement until I see the price point, but I do wonder how much demand there really is for what the Grenadier brings. I am game, but how many people out there are looking to pay a premium for a non US proper off roader? I totally missed... -
Oversize tires for 2020 Defender
Pls correct me if I am wrong as I have never owned a LR3 (I have a 2012 LR4 with 19 wheels) but didn’t it come with 18 wheels and a 7700 capacity. Furthermore , doesn’t the p300 with std 18 wheels have the same towing capacity as the p400 with 19 or larger wheels? I thought the bigger wheels...- bromhead

Oversize tires for 2020 Defender
Well, I think getting a bigger engine is a bit more than simply being limited in the option packages but I get your point. I just saw the defender moving at least one of the Land Rover NA options back towards a more off road focused vehicle, like the 1997 NAS Defender. Getting the more...- bromhead

Oversize tires for 2020 Defender
I dont have a problem with modifying a vehicle, I just question why you put lower profile tires with 20 inch wheels on such a capable truck . And I get the idea of mods if you want to fit oversize tires and need to lift a vehicle, but required to swap out calipers to simply avoid 19 or 20 tires...- bromhead

Oversize tires for 2020 Defender
I realize that perhaps I get too carried away with this but to me the tire size really comes off as a clear indication that Land Rover is really not focused in making what I would call a true off road vehicle. That’s certainly where the market has been headed, although with the Bronco and Jeep...- bromhead

Oversize tires for 2020 Defender
Nice I wonder how large you can go on those 18’s, especially with rods or a gap tool equivalent for a defender.- bromhead

Oversize tires for 2020 Defender
Curious what oversize tire options there are for the new defender. I assume the bigger engine versions require 19 or bigger wheels due to the brake calipers. Are there 18 in options like there are for the LR4? And how big can we go. Outside magazine hints at 35’s with a bit of a mod....- bromhead

Replace key fob
Just made a new key fob with gap tool, couldn’t have been easier . Just ordered a blank metal key and will take it to a locksmith. Thanks for all the help! Thanks for saving me $550 bucks! -
18’ wheel suggestions for my black 2010 LR4
Thanks, yeah I get that. I think the comps weigh 29 vs 39 lbs for the tuff ants. Any downsize to having ten extra lbs on each wheel and on the 5th wheel carrier under the vehicle. Being steel I assume means they are more durable and easier to fix, was curious to an any specific negatives -

LR4 19s, Load Ratings and the Cooper Zeon vs Wrangler Adventure
I have the duratracs and have been happy with them, although they seem to have worn a little quicker than expected. Isn't the load factor the issue with the wrangler's? I am on the fence on buying new duratracs or biting the bullet and getting 18 in wheels with bfg's....alot of money for only... -
Replace key fob
In the instructions they talk about hooking up the battery to something to keep the voltage stable (or something like that), did everyone do this or just have the car run idle on its own? -
Replace key fob
I will call around. Out of curiosity, where did you get the 300 quote , mine was from Land Rover carlsbad (San Diego) In regards to cloned, yeah I get that, I was just being lazy with my words. Does anyone have direct experience using the tool to generate a new key? -
Replace key fob
Thanks for all of the input I am on the fence, I really would not want to be in the middle of the Mojave and have an issue with a cloned fob.....but paying six hundred bucks for a new key has me feeling physically ill. :). -
