    Need hitch for 2009 RRS please help

    the best choice is just use the factory receiver. Nothing is really any cheaper but anything else is way more complicated to install. You can find used factory quick release units for not too much $

    LR3 Wet Driver's side carpet

    I would pull the cowling off to inspect both sides. There is a long tray below the natural drip edge of the glass bottom edge. this area more or less dumps right into the venting to the inside. it's dumb design but that's where i would start. Now I will add that in my bmw the driver side...

    275/65R18 GY MT-R or Discoverer STT mud

    If you meant end of the life of the tire, then it was also considerably smaller so rubbing should certainly have been gone by then anyway. The rear fender liner bump fix: the best way is to just cut it out to flat area, then rivet on a flat piece of similar plastic or rubber. I have actually...

    Yeah but you get extra points for going with the 265/70 ! ;)

    $1,200 shipping bill for roof rack.

    To reiterate, NO, this is not the "question" ;) The question is 'who is contacting you?' What it does cost to ship the rack is actually 100% irrelevant. I don't care if someone is asking you to cough up $1 $100 or $1000, they might as well ask for $100M. If I were you I would gently...

    $1,200 shipping bill for roof rack.

    You aren't being clear here. Yo usaid "said bill" what bill, who's bill, the carriers bill to the vendor you bought from? And stop with the "well known" secrecy. What brand and what seller? What it sounds like you are proposing is going on is the crazies thing I have ever heard of regarding...

    Transmission Fault

    I had this but do not recall the solution. I am pretty sure it wasn't a new transmission though! "shifter box" ? The no sport mode symptom ought to be a tell for a rover tech to know what's wrong or at least where to start testing.

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    There must be an lr4 driver with lr3 wheels and spacers but my guess is the 265/65x18 on lr3 18" plus a spacer may rub the sliders and the frame horn, most likely i'd bet. Especially because i think the spacer needed is the 1.25 with the 1.0" not enough to clear the brakes without a lot of...

    18" Wheels - EVO CORSE DAKARZERO

    For lr4 I would want a little more data because I think the NAS v8 caliper is a little different than my lr3 caliper. However, the mudtech folks have an lr4 17" brake conversion kit so it's doable but I don't know if they also change the caliper. One way to find out would be to measure side by...

    18" Wheels - EVO CORSE DAKARZERO

    It's so easy. Rotors and carrier. Nothing else unless you wanted to get persnickety and also replace the backing plate but I didn't. Presumably a matching sized plate could keep rocks out of the rotors a little better but so far after extensive use last summer, it's been fine. It's a good...

    Control Arm bushings

    Good to hear this. I think you should also offer a higher grade hardware kit as the ones I got had a missing/duplicate part as well as some of the washers just rotating off the axis and not doing their job. It was pretty annoying to be honest. You all sent replacement stuff without hassle...

    Control Arm bushings

    Like Ryan said, plenty of youtube videos. The hardware on mine was basically fine and the bolts that came with the parts kit from Atlantic British kind of sucked in my opinion with the offset washer twisting off it's axis and becoming useless. The original stuff was still solid as could be so...

    20inch wheel Offset required? 275/55R20 KO2's

    yeah that's the size i had on my 9.5x20 stormer wheels at the beginning.

    18" Wheels - EVO CORSE DAKARZERO

    yes, i am using factory 17x7 for snow tires so i am 99% sure these 17's will work considering the wider offset. but yes, let's do a measurement test. I'll contact you or pm me i you haven't heard from me.

    Only when working hard offroad - Hard to start / initial rough Idle

    last couple yrs I've had something sounding like that occur a few times though it wasn't post-off-road specific that I recall. I would try to take note of any other situational factors. It could be a coincidence regarding timing from off-road outings.

    19 " wheels

    I appreciate the post of all that useful data. However, my own experience on different tire shapes says 275/55 will actually be noticeable and I would think it sucks on how it feels. The sidewall is plenty tall enough to make a difference too. I told you above, on a lighter car I could feel...

    Oh, so that's why mine handles a differently loaded to 8200 lbs on some trips ? ;)

    18" Wheels - EVO CORSE DAKARZERO

    for the lr3 to use 17's you change the rotors and caliper carrier. The same caliper just mounts to the slightly smaller rotor. 16's are unlikely to work but i wonder how close a steel one with wide offset might get. may test fot one sometime to see.

    18" Wheels - EVO CORSE DAKARZERO

    The only thing the shorter rods are required for is if you install the strut tower spacers. The rods then bring the height sensors back to within the computer's tolerance zone. 265/65-18, no cutting and will fit fine fully inflated underneath but you will need to remove the fiber shield that...

    18" Wheels - EVO CORSE DAKARZERO

    A 17 should fit fine. They are probably saying it won't fit on the usual HAS spec lr3 or especially lr4. Even rover factory 17" won't fit on the NAS v8 lr3 so you have to covert to the v6 spec rotor and caliper carriers. I am very interested in the 17's in bronze or black

    Safety Devices Roof Rack

    yeah, well of course you can just as I have but I'm saying no matter how you look at it, the gutter system is stronger. you could literally lean the vehicle into a tree and have that rack hold the thing off.

    18" Wheels - EVO CORSE DAKARZERO

    Hey, hey, thx for posting here for people interested. From what I can tell, that company makes a sweet 17x8 ...... can you find out if we can get an lr3/4 mounting? Also with a fairly conservative offset, maybe about 50 to 45 at most. (Factory ET on an 8" is usually 53) I also have a...

    Are you saying my 25 lr3 wheels are a problem...?! At least I bought them all used!

    Rotor wear advice

    I agree, smart and thoughtful design is good design! Today I bought some 12x12" pavers on -40% sale for $1 ea at Lowe's ;)
