I’m a +1 on the terrafirma. Just did an 8k mile trip with skis and a bike in the back and it wasn’t as big a pita as I thought a rear carrier might have been (I’m with you OP on D2 door mounted being superior).
Only ‘hiccup’ was with the 18” compos we had to cut/shave the tire carrier bolts...
FWIW and late to the party:
Just picked up a 2016 Landmark HD two months ago with 104k on the clock. When adding mods it boils down to math for me...
On cars and bids a 2014 with some light mods went pretty high: https://carsandbids.com/auctions/rbpn5yEk/2014-land-rover-lr4-hse
Looking...
Wow - I'm pretty shocked with your experience! We just passed 76k on our 2017 TD6 and I've calculated that about 50% of it has been towing our 25' FB International. Do I get blown around a little going through Kansas? Absolutely - but so do big rigs. Would a Trail Boss (or similar) be...
To be clear:
1. I use weight distribution which offsets the weights (simple google and lots of realistic %'s).
2. LR's manual has a YELLOW caution box about using weight distribution with the air ride suspension. If you are not set up so the trailer is completely level and the WD being...
I didn't rather just throw stock stuff on. And a D2 is definitely different than an LR4 (have had both - at the same time for some stupid reason) - that and the A/T ties that are oversized don't help. Just a word of warning is all on the brake fade and then smoking. If I follow Porsche's rule...
So, I had these installed on my D2 and noticed extreme brake fade on steep downhills of longer duration. Most recently in Manchester VT I smoked all four wheels (like worried about fire) because of these pads/rotors. It's actually the pads, not the rotors, as you could see in the slots/drills...
We towed a 25' Airstream with our 2016 LR4. I chose to add an aftermarket hitch mounted to the frame (and use the LR wiring). While this changed the rating to 6000 and 600 I then used weight distribution and never had an issue. While the manual has a yellow caution on WD systems (v. the red...
My spare set of wheels off of my LR4 with 275/55/20 BFG KO2s. Going on 50k miles on the tires and still life left. Tow a 25' AS with the rig all over the place and works wonderfully. Purchased before our first XC tow so we could light off-road out west when we first got the car. No lift, no...
So I’m just dumb enough that in the past several years I’ve owned:
‘16 LR4 Landmark, non HD
‘04 D2 (still have)
‘13 RRS non SC (still have)
‘17 D5 TD6 (still have)
‘14 RRS SCV8
‘16 Disco Sport (hers and gone)
I have a Defender on order (Pangea Green p400 with all the capability packs). Also...
Yup, that's the one. Sorry, I'm in the lucky zone of being swamped with work and never got to taking a pic. Note that I do just roll up the cord and shove it up above the plastic housing when driving without towing. Never had an issue with the cord falling down. So then I just leave the...
Yes, it's up by above the pedals. It's the same ford connector you used in your LR4 you just have to add the connector yourself (plug and play). If I have time later today I can try to grab a pic.
Pics of a Med frame 29x3 bike in truck. Just about largest wheel you can get. 1” clearance by rear overhead light. Dropper all the way down. Since one bike centered. With two bikes i’ll stagger just a hair and push further back making sure I clear both c pillars. Drove 11k miles like this last...
Back wheel height is the same regardless of frame size - and those bikes are 29ers. Biggest issue is your seat tube + dropper height but based on how much clearance I have in mine I think you'll be fine. The trick is you need to have the seats down all the way (hit the button and then once...
