Rotor wear advice
No offense meant, just picking a little ;) In this situation, it was hard enough sourcing the right size and parts for the 17" conversion and they didn't seem like much but then again, I'm used to seeing sets for the Audi or BMW and those are often "!" However, I'm not sure what's wrong with... -
Control Arm bushings
compressor under the hood with outlet there and it supplies another factory air suspension tank under the passenger side for more volume delivery needed for a short burst like setting tubeless mountain bike tires. -
19 " wheels
Nah, not fine. Bulging is crap and means tires were poorly chosen. The weight of this vehicle will exaggerate that sort of bad sizing and make the handling suck. When the RRS comes with 275's it's on a 9 to 9.5" wide wheel, never on an 8", not from the factory. Will it mount and is it... -
Rotor wear advice
Well I think I had to call and get them special ordered because I did the 17" spec size change used on the v6 lr3. There are parts that will do the same swap for lr4's. The change only required new caliper 'carriers' but reused the calipers. new rotors of course. Lucky8 might have decent... -
Air Suspension Fittings and Tubing
I feel like maybe i've seen those at AB or rovers north but not sure. Be careful you're getting the correct line size. I think ours are the 6mm right? older rovers have 4mm or something. -
Rotor wear advice
Why are some people so cheap? ;) Never heard of that place but I'd want to know the weight. When something is too good to be true, it's often not good or not true ;) I got my EBC through Rovers North. You want a the most mass you can get for heat dissipation. My guess is the super cheap... -
More proof the LR4 is a very safe vehicle
Well they weren't bullshitting you apparently: see chart down the page a bit, zero during 2006-09 4yrs, model yr lr3 05-08. https://www.iihs.org/iihs/sr/statusreport/article/46/5/1 I am trying to dig up stats since then too. -
What is the alternator size for a 2006 lr3?
oh, also you can look that up on dealer parts websites like this: https://parts.landrovervirginiabeach.com/search?search_str=rear+wheel+bearing+hub And also places like https://www.roverparts.com/ have a good search function and also the parts in both genuine and cheaper oem versions. they... -
Air Suspension Fittings and Tubing
also, I don't like the push-fit splicers. One I had leaked, pissed me off, so I got these which are basically leak-proof and fully reusable https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BXBQZZZ/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I only used 2 in the rear to start because the front had enough... -

Coil Springs for my LR4 in the future as it ages
There definitely trade offs. At 32" and smaller, no strut spacers are needed. Nor do you need the rods unless you have the strut spacers. I used 32" for about 5 years and in some aspects, it's the best choice all around because they weigh a lot less so they handle much better braking and... -
Alarm going off for no apparent reason
yup, latch. 2 choices at atlantic british, whole thing or a smaller part. at 130k i chose the whole thing. no issues since. -
Safety Devices Roof Rack
Also, while I said I'd only buy aluminum now, I have to clarify that is for modern rovers without a gutter and our limited suspensions. You can't put a HD spring on to make up for more weight and while air struts do try to adjust, it's not quite the same equation when getting into 400+ lbs on... -
Safety Devices Roof Rack
Around 2006 there was a Safety Devices Discovery II photo with all their stuff from that period on it and it was set up with at least a 4" lift, 35's, root tent, possibly bead lock wheels, winch bumper, etc. Looked so incredible. -
Coil Springs for my LR4 in the future as it ages
I shouldn't have mentioned it because if you think about it, this suspension already reaches right to it's physical limits after which breakage will become almost certain. Even with the strut spacer one has to be careful of the front joints especially. -
LR4 on 33's
I did not see an offset spec on either of those. Have you? Either the shape or offset are the reason for that and I like the idea of the l8 wheel being closer offset for a taller tire. I'm considering another set of 17's though too. -
Coil Springs for my LR4 in the future as it ages
he coil struts do not have the range of travel which is why from a movement purpose, are inferior to the air struts which have 13" range in the rear! That's like what you get on an older discovery with coil cones to keep it aligned when you pull the axle too far away from the body after... -
Coil Springs for my LR4 in the future as it ages
You seem to be missing the point in that whole deal. You can put a 33 on no problem with minimal modifications or cost. You just need to be smart about size choice and stick with an 8" wide wheel and under 11" section tire, so something like 265/70-18 or 275/65-18 or 275/70-18 with the first... -
Coil Springs for my LR4 in the future as it ages
I can replace one in under 2 hrs in a driveway or on a trail. These really do not "fail" like you make it sound. Many big industrial vehicles are on air springs including buses running millions of miles on them. The weakest points on the lr are not the struts but if the compressor gives out... -
Coil Springs for my LR4 in the future as it ages
In fact it is somewhat easier and safer as there is no spring compression required. -
Is a d5 a great deal right now?
yeah i was just joking, but i know one of the toyotas, maybe the troopy has barn doors with one side being about 2/3 width. -
Is a d5 a great deal right now?
where's the 'dis'-like button... actually an offset barndoor could be useful -
Is a d5 a great deal right now?
Yeah, none of the international 4x4 pros are using that. But see how the Toyotas have swing doors or split doors. Full lift gates are for mini-vans and wagons ;) Shit, if my BMW wagon had a split gate, that would be SO cool. Their X5 has a split gate. -
Safety Devices Roof Rack
I like Rovers North but that is a seriously crap description of the rack on the website LOL. Might as well say "it's cool, buy it". Nothing about material, coating, dimensions, nothing at all.
