LT 285/65/18 Cooper Discoverer STT pro all terrain
285/65 is not the best choice for the factory 8” wheels. The guy above w 265/70 has the best size because they provide max height while fitting the best during turning as well tucking into fenders at full compression. 285/65 is a lot wider than the 265/70 and without the full spectrum of... -
Extended Warranties
i wonder if normal warranties would cover animal damaging things like that. I think you're lucky on that one! ;)- jwest

LR4+Expedition Rack+... skis?
Why do you think there are no rails under the rack? That's what they mount to I think I recall .... ? Anyway, I did not know non oe were out there but that $1300 is insane. Dealer cross bars are idiotic usually and that $ proves it. The only reason I used Yakima is because they are round... -
LR4+Expedition Rack+... skis?
Yes this ^ my Hannibal is actually mounted on what was supposed to be a quick fix/temp idea. Yakima cross bars on standard short towers. The beauty is though that I can take the whole thing off or on, SOLO, in about 5-10 minutes. 2 2x4 slid under sitting across factory tracks, unlatch... -
LR4+Expedition Rack+... skis?
Remove rack that costs you gas, noise, and is rarely used in winter, or ever. Pop a nice low profile cargo box on to keep yer shit grime free. Yeah, skis look cool but why people destroy the bindings on roofs is beyond me. -
Extended Warranties
I'm going to use this opportunity for a mini-chat on cash flow ;) There are of course many factors that are different for everyone but if you could get coverage to 100k as well as a time frame that would be used in order for YOU to get it to 100k, then I'd consider the warranty with no...- jwest

h, also, if you were buying a bmw, i'd say get that warranty TODAY ;) Mine used so much warranty coverage by 100k it was just stupid.- jwest

Extended Warranties
I'm not aware of many aftermarket warranties that will go past 8 yrs from original but maybe that was just for a vehicle still in factory warranty coverage. I'd do the math on warranty cost vs 3 top/likely & most expensive repairs vs saving cash for 2 yrs. I only did an extended when it was...- jwest

WHAT WOULD YOU DO!? BUYING MY FIRST LR4...
I love this post. For years I had zero means of buying into the Land Rover make but then the means developed and the justification as well. That was 1999 and I still own 3 of them ;) However, my goal summer 2017 was to spend less on tools and parts than a dealer would cost for a comprehensive... -
Cost to replace one front strut
What gave you trouble on the rear struts? I don't recall any of them being very difficult or very different. FYI to anyone considering this, if you use a splice type connector, you are adding 4 more locations for potential failure in the air lines. For the rear I sourced a full metal parts... -

WHAT WOULD YOU DO!? BUYING MY FIRST LR4...
You people with not only one dealer, but several withing easy distance aren't getting the main concern here. Thunder Bay is no where near a dealer and in areas like that there are also slim choices for truly competent independent shops. I would not buy a Land Rover, especially newer, without... -
Fox 2.0 shocks
you're missing my preference, LLAMS from australia. I have been using for several years now. It's a must-have IMO. -
Fox 2.0 shocks
so longer control arms, extended axles, etc? I saved my old control arms for such purpose someday. Current suspension parts really are best suited to the air struts. Any of the available struts would massively reduce the off road capability I have gotten spoiled by recently. Give the strut... -
Fox 2.0 shocks
that probably sounded kinda snarky.... I come by it naturally. I spend a ton of time on the keyboard so no offense meant ;) But I also got put it to use and get dirty. -
Fox 2.0 shocks
well, what "issues" ...? LOL More likely too much time on the keyboard than "off the road" ;) There are pretty much ZERO "issues" in even the most extensive off road uses. Guess what... not one steel spring kit yet can provide more effective lift for larger tires. What this means is the... -
Cost to replace one front strut
yeah, you will enjoy a "1/4 drive flex head extra long handle" for sure. I think you're right that passenger/ starboard side is easier but i use the same tools each side. Also the socket is short but just enough to go over the nut and exposed stud. Those two components make it actually easy... -
Cost to replace one front strut
Ah yes, I can see that but honestly nothing is needed once the air is out of the system and I'm even dealing with the added length of 50mm strut spacers which make it worse. This is also due in part to being deliberate in lifting the other side as well though. This removes the pressure from... -
Cost to replace one front strut
not quite, have you done this job? ;) No prybar is needed for any of this so I'm not sure what that was for. What did you use it on? 3x 15mm nuts, not "bolts" for the top of strut to mount 1x large through bolt at bottom of damper has a 24mm nut and 21mm bolt head, the nut requires either... -
Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels
to go with wheels you might appreciate having lug nuts that don't have the stupid chrome shell that always deforms even if you're careful because some asshole at a shop is going to NOT use the 22mm because it's a little snug. They'll use a 7/8 and then the shells are toast. I have a set in... -
WHAT WOULD YOU DO!? BUYING MY FIRST LR4...
Twin cities roughly 6 hrs so wow that's a haul. I'm from Grand Marais... ;) Honestly, in your area....I'd get a Toyota Land Cruiser or Lexus lx 570. I am a multi-vehicle owning, 20 year, Land Rover lover so there ya go. LC 200 series very nice and also very good value for the early years... -

Questions About 20’s
i wouldn't trim the liner before trying to zip tie it back just enough instead. There's no real surprise as to the rub only on driver side there. The liners and whats behind them are different. That spot is tight on mine too and I di actually cut out an arched shape starting at the corner... -
Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
lololololol if people would just say up front "i'm too cheap to choose the better option" or "i just want this wheel that looks cool to me" then there would be no debate. Defending ones choice with nonsensical feelings starts the cycle. The bmw wheels don't even have the ideal offset... -
Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
also, your math got weird... ;) 44-36= 8mm more than compo. 54-36=18 more than factory. there are also 25mm spacers which are just 7mm more than those wheels but yes, they are probably a bit of a let down for people trying larger tires. I'm really liking the idea of the darn mudtechs, maybe...
