BFG KO2 265/65 18 PSI?
It would be very useful if you ever have a chance to get weighed with or without the roof load? Do you have any other heavy items aside from the roof and what looks like decent steel sliders? My sliders have 100% coverage and are 100 lbs per side. The crazy Asfir rear diff guard was like... -
BFG KO2 265/65 18 PSI?
was that sarcasm? .... road psi you cannot really simply ask what people use unless you know their vehicle weight. a stock lr3/4 with an E load 265/65-18 is probably barely ok using 42psi but a factory tire and size is fine at 42. If you have weight on it, like mine, you'd be advised to use... -

so where are you located? maybe you just need a better shop/second opinion. -

are you actually talking about the hidden lamps that illuminate the various buttons and switches? why do those matter at all? they just sit there and glow. most people will replace dome lamps, door grounding, rear hatch, the kinds of lights that come on when doors are opened. you might be... -

Those sound like what i put into the dome lights but did you read his post? He's talking about all the instrument lights behind various buttons and such..... WHAT THE HELLLLLL is going on with that??? who does that? why? sounds nuts and useless. -
Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
Yes, that occurred to me later as to why I said they go more with the upper job. None of my bolts had to be cut or sawed at. Guess I was lucky considering this was all original with I think close to 130k. Decent air tools and impact gear might've helped. I thought the sway bar was one of the... -

Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
If i were pulling that much apart, i'd definitely also do the sway bar parts seeing as the end link has to come off the lca and then the sway bar is loose.... perfect time to do that. However, it's the same when the uca are removed... which is a perfect time to put in new air struts, which is... -
Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
Nice! I have a separate set of wheels with Nokian LT2 studded - see avatar photo ;) You probably know already but be sure yours are as narrow as reasonable as it's the key to best grip as well as tracking. -
Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
Did he also check the sway bar bushings? Those make a huge difference and are pretty easy/cheap to have done. Actually there's no good way to easily test them on the car but you can feel when they are past due by a few road tests: -at neighborhood speed rolling up to a stop there would be a... -
Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
I bet it's a glitch as some countries hve the vat, then again, maybe the trade BS going on changed it for us. What I like about those 18" are the super easy to clean design. The compos look fine but have a lot of little nooks for mud and snow to just sit which is no fun back on the highway... -
For those of you thinking about the upcoming winter...
Those 2 tires are worlds apart even on intent but yes the nokian wrg2/3 series are phenomenal really. -
Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
Agreed, nonsense that's just easier for a dealer to say so as to stay out of liability. If this idea had any basis whatsoever, nobody would be upgrading countless BMW AUDI etc etc etc cars to "big brake" kits all on cars with ABS. Scott Brady comes across as a fantastic social media marketer... -

Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
If I had an lr4, and I probably will at some point, I'd make the brake conversion to 17" as high a priority as adding a 2nd battery and skid plates. -
Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
-this is why i really like the path of choosing higher rated wheels like the compos and those sold by mudtech rather than going backwards by even the smallest %. I wouldn't attribute "more metal" in any wheel to inherent strength considering that forged wheels have less material while being... -
Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
Haha. I learned something in this thread concerning the wide varieties available. Maybe I'll try these next time now knowing there are softer versions. The primary issue to me was shops like lucky8 touting how stiff the orange ones would be and I see zero need for increasing the vibration... -
Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
So the bmw wheels are barely rated to static load many lr3/4 builds end up at when loaded.... static, while parked, not even during dynamic loading. Sounds great. Why am I posting in the lr4 forum? So new lr4 people will stop for a moment to consider the weak approach to this wheel issue... -

Yep you're one of those types who's too cheap to be bothered with best practices. -
Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
All BMW wheels are used on vehicles that weigh significantly less than an lr4. You should probably not be pushing the idea to use wheels that are not shown to have load ratings required by our vehicles. Using them yourself is one thing but advocating the idea is ill advised.
