LR4 on 33's
LOL say hello to sawzall on your LR4. They may be the type shop who's approach is "if you want it, we can do it" which is great but also dangerous if you aren't on the same page and care what things look like upon completion and actually function like under extreme situations, like avoiding a... -
Control Arm bushings
No offense meant to your choice but it's basically a fad in my opinion. Something different for sake of being different more than an actual worthwhile upgrade or improvement. Two shops specializing in Land Rovers and English vehicles as well as vintage racing both said it's not the best choice... -
Control Arm bushings
the two odd photos are to see the surface rusty bracket that holds an engine or front differential item. It's right in front of the driver side sway bar bushing and clamp. It impedes the approach angle to the bolts on the clamp, especially the upper one. Loosening this bracket just enough to... -

Control Arm bushings
If you have the press, I'd consider r/r with oem type. People who go for poly have a weird idea of comfort.;p Poly do not necessarily last longer and they are harsh in my opinion. I like them on a sporty car, not my heavy beast. I replaced every bit of the suspension two summers ago with the... -
Is a d5 a great deal right now?
You posted this but even that is not the full picture. MSRP of only 67k is not even one I'd own. When I build what it has to have for options, it comes to $80k no less.... you have to be crazy to spend that on this vehicle considering the similar price point alternatives such as a new Land... -
Is a d5 a great deal right now?
Beth, you are the exact demographic they thought of in the design approach. In that sense it's successful. Even I like the D5 for the aspects you mention: towing, quality of ride for road trips, comfort of interior. However, the LR3/4 had a much broader cross section of actual appeal which... -
275/65R18 GY MT-R or Discoverer STT mud
Like BP said, the one he's using or the BFG ko2 make more sense than a MT type for what you described as most uses, especially the towing, sound, and highway handling. They will wear better too. I've gotten 75,000 miles out of a set of ko1 before using 5 tire rotation and a mid-life flip. -

275/65R18 GY MT-R or Discoverer STT mud
A. you don't need an 8.5" wide wheel but more importantly it only exacerbates issues with turning clearance points. B. you just said you decided on the owm 18"... it is 8" wide. Are you actually still very undecided? C. I thought you were into the bolt-on Compomotives at least, if the Mudtech... -
19 " wheels
However, the 275 section is not meant to be on the factory 8" wide wheels. At least 19's are a super easy tire choice, because there are basically only 2 sizes and they both fit LOL. Only good use for 19's is highway travel and basic forest roads or winter, but for those uses, they sure do let... -
Travel trailer towing - first experience
Agreed. Didn't he come from Hensley and design the 3p to be better? -
First time Discovery owner
You should have this bookmarked too if you don't already. A few cool things like brass wheel replacement for the plastic D1 window regulator that always breaks. A D2 kit to solve the "3 amigos" cause and the LR3 a bras T fitting to replace a plastic one that is prone to breaking at coolant Y...- jwest

First time Discovery owner
Where did it spend the time with that owner? How's the under side look? You get salts on that side I'm pretty sure but the region does in winter so you ought to consider an undercoating specifically either Waxoyl or Beoshield. You can do them yourself but the Boeing developed one is probably...- jwest

Mudtech 4x4 Raid 18" wheels
Better than 20's designed for pavement. So you think cheap wheels are actually any good? First time you bend or crack one you might remember this long drawn out discussion where people who have actually used the stuff tried to help you not waste your $ on junk. Didn't you mention a shop that... -

Lower Control Arms
It is much more accurate to mark a line across the washer to the frame using a grease pencil/china marker or fat sharpie. If they are tight but will move, a high power impact wrench can make the difference as will soaking overnight with PBblaster or the old Kroil oil version -
LR4 on 33's
Yeah, I understand. I was just trying to give you some ideas like flex test right there in the driveway. If you had access to a couple of those plastic wedge ramps or a tree section like people use as a stool or to chop wood on. No need to drive anywhere. Regarding offset.... 40 is 13mm... -

fair enough. Guess $ is just burning a hole in your pocket LOL ;) -
Lower Control Arms
search for write ups and also watch a few youtube videos, this has been covered extensively. -
LR4 on 33's
you also needed to do a flex test while also turning. Then you'll see it's not as simple as flattening the rear liner bump and relocating the ac tubing, but up front it's all sorts of hell created with a wider tire set out so far. This is why I told you I already tested a 305 width tire. You... -
Mudtech 4x4 Raid 18" wheels
So why not the compomotives which you can get from a US distributor without the extra expensive shipping as well as knowing 100% they fit? -
LR4 on 33's
I like the effort of making a video but what you are forgetting or not seeing here is that when you turn the front wheels, the edge of the tire will swing into the body, massively if you try using even wider offset and the wide tire and wheel combination. It is not by accident that the Mudtech... -
20inch wheel Offset required? 275/55R20 KO2's
100% bullshitt. Hell, I didn't need the strut spacers until going past 5 years of use on the 275/65-18 up to a 285/70-18 but a 275/70-18 would probably do best with the strut spacer as well. Please be reminded, the rod BS is not a "lift" per-say while the strut spacer is a pure lift that sets... -
Compomotive PD 1881 finish delamination
Zero rubbing issues on metal for that size in a BFG as they run a little small compared to some other brands. However, you will need to shift the wiring loom up about 4" on the driver or port side to keep the tire from tagging it at full left turn. If you have a RHD, then you'll need to verify...
