Safety Devices Roof Rack
I had a way back SD on my Disco 1 then sold it as it was super heavy and being made of steel, an ongoing rust worry. I will only use Aluminum racks now. Currently have 2 Hannibal 83"x55" with their awnings side and rear with "room" walls. -
More proof the LR4 is a very safe vehicle
VW Touareg up to 2009 was one of the best built for crashes vehicle with it's solid chassis but also egg shape for easy roll over force deflection. Boxy things like an older Disco 1/2 older range rovers, jeeps, even the incredible mercedes G don't do so well in rollovers due to the A pillar... -
275/65R18 GY MT-R or Discoverer STT mud
Really, you want to ask that? For fucks sake read the endless "how large" threads. ;) The answer to be honest is any size you dream up, if you're willing to do what it takes. A RRS SC guy had a killer body lift done that allowed over 35", might've trid 37's. I am quite sure the entire job... -

hahaha. funny, but the D5 is probably even safer than the lr3 and 4. -

Wouldn't help you this filing anyway... ;) You can do mileage at a good rate though. My trip this winter gives me over $3000 deduction next year! -
LR4 on 33's
oil springs vs air springs: coil, never die on you, basically never, even when old and tired. coil, cannot compress so far that you risk dumping the vehicle onto the tires. Even with the strut spacer, you loose the air and you won't be having a good day on a trail with that tire width... -

Because you could see how tight it is at what height. If it's near the full drop and only a rubbed in a little, then you'd know for sure the tire size would work. It is amazing you want the look of a 20 so much more than the most capable system. I had 20's, they were cool, they were also dumb... -

That shop can for sure MAKE them fit. I think most people here don't want to have severe cutting occur though. The main issue will be where the front needs clearance turning. I have a larger diameter tire, but they cannot be used with the 25mm spacer behind the factory 18x8 ET 53 without... -

Rods do not magically create clearance if the air compressor is dead or if flex stuffs the tire up. Rods only affect a relative computer base point. Nothing more. The mods you're planning will not help with the turning issues. You'll see. You'll learn a lot maybe. Too wide or too tall... -

This irrelevance shows exactly what is not obvious to you. Good luck. -
LR4 on 33's
Well, some things are clearly not obvious to you. Have fun wasting $ and ending up with a poser ride. -

I also wanted to retain full function lowered for parking garages but that also simulates if air compressor dies or really wonky terrain. -
LR4 on 33's
Here’s a BFG km2 285/70-18 on factory wheel. no spacer because they wouldn’t allow the tire to get that high without ripping into the fenders or turn up front without ripping into the bumper. Shown here isn’t even an extreme flex situation, it gets worse on a real trail. -

A. I should clarify why I say "crap choice". Just because a 20 comes on the vehicle, doesn't mean it's the best choice for rock crawling, or anything other than highways for that matter. I'm not talking about load ratings or even the material it's made from, just the dimensions. B. if you... -

Control Arm bushings
Also, speaking of ride quality. I'd love to meet up even just to ride in yours to see how it feels and handles compared to mine. I have an onboard compressor so we could experiment with tire psi. -
Control Arm bushings
Hey, I see you're in Charlotte. I'm in Cary right now for a while. Want to meet up at Uwharrie or something. I'm only only michelin ms2 right now for the big trip but it would be fine if mostly dry. I don't know of anywhere else in the state but I'm planning a beach outing soon to Hatteras -
More proof the LR4 is a very safe vehicle
It's actually an "integrated body on frame" which is not the same and far superior to basic body on frame. Most "suvs" you see today, are actually just a car in an engineering sense because there is no frame but rather a shell that is the body. In some ways they are more protecting that a... -
***BEWARE LAND ROVER KNOXVILLE! ***
What he said here. I have 2 sets, black and chrome. The black are several years on now and in perfect shape. They do say you're not supposed to use impact but I do only for removal. No need to impact on as a torque wrench is the best choice.- jwest

So what's the name of the shop? What have they done so far on a modern rover? There's a person who did a body lift on a range rover sport that then allowed 35 or 37" tires and due to separating the suspension zone from the main limitation, the body, it became a functional result. Maybe we... -
Is a d5 a great deal right now?
Agreed. The most badass 4x4 still made isn't made in Germany like much of the Mercedes brand... Austrian Magna Steyr. -
LR4 on 33's
I gave you advice, the best being that the tire is too wide, 2nd offset too wide, 3rd that for off road a 20 is just counter productive effectively eliminating the benefits of an aggressive tire and all the work. You didn't want advice, you wanted praise or attention or something. I removed... -
LR4 on 33's
Well, going the direction myself and others have with an 18x8, I use a larger tire than is being proposed but it fully works in all conditions with minimal modifications needed. There will be nothing new gained in this effort that is not already known and experimented with. It's really no... -

More LOL for you Mr. I told you then the test fit did not work and how and why. Have fun wasting $ or cutting. It's going to be one or the other. If you're cool with that, then you should've said so from the start like you mentioned in previous post saying you'll have them do whatever is...
