Johnson loft and spacers
What is the diameter of the spacer lip OD and the rim concentric contact area ID? The clearance amount if proper should be just enough to mount the rim and not a sloppy fit or one with a lot of clearance. You shouldhave zero vibration issues at any speeds as well able to repeat having perfect...- BeemerNut

Johnson loft and spacers
Mike, note the short lip sections below that span across the larger diameter open clearance casting of the Disco 1 rims not contacting the concentric areas of the rim at all hence useless like flat spacers. You have the option having a solid lip that can be sleeved vs the rubbish I had to...- BeemerNut

Johnson loft and spacers
Sorry late to dinner as I randomly bottom feed only on the Disco One fourms. No clue about your "303" spacers. The picture alone has hope to make them work vs TF 301 I purchased for the 95 D1, the spacers were a POS! Long love letter below, I needed to explain a lot, caution with solutions you...- BeemerNut

Any Bosch 4306 Platinum plus 2 spark plug reviews for the 4.0 & 4.6 engines?
It's been several years running Champion plugs and was told back in 2000 to only use Champion plugs made especially for and only sold at LR dealerships. I say BS to that as Champs from auto parts stores look and functioned identically and at 1/3 the cost. I did not find any different brands of... -

Keep driving it with a misfiring issue that unburnt gas will burn in the converter overheating it torching, melting and twisting up the substrate material.

This morning for the hell of it opened your compression check video. WTF was that? Firtst time in over 55 years ever seeing a compression check done on a running engine vs by starter cranking speed. I bet off the starter you had 75 psi at best. On another note a cheap cylinder leak down... -

Unless your engine has been cooked (overheated) past life I bet 90% your issue is a leaking and now a burnt valve. Pull the head as you need to remove it anyway and disassemble it to see if a the seat can be dressed or replaced plus a new valve. Shooting in the dark not knowing condition here... -

That alone besides CEL number 5 cylinder as fault should of had a leakdown check done first on that cylinder. Pressurized number 5 listening... -

Will I still be able to drive these tires with a suspension fault?
Timbo, your tyre diameter increase from 30.0" to 30.5" or 94.247" vs 95.818" circumference amounts to a 1.66% increase. That alone is less than you'd have by tyre wear alone. Add the factor of same tyre spec numbers in diameter and sidewall the variations between tyre manufactures having a wider... -
