Tire selection for 19" rim?
Never tried the verde or have I heard of/seen them before. Are they new? I believe the Michelins are the quietest (but are pretty expensive) followed by the Pirelli ATR's. The Pirelli ATR will be way better in the snow. The tread is probably the least aggressive pattern for an ATR tire, hence...- brettmess24

Tire selection for 19" rim?
Which Pirelli's? The ATR are amazingly quiet and lasted 60K miles on my previous LR3. I now run the oem 19" in the winter months but continentals are terrible in heavy slush and snow in comparison to my 20" Cooper Zeons. If you don't do any off road but have snow I highly recommend the Pirelli...- brettmess24

Difference from 19" to 20" wheels
I have to disagree on every front accept the wife-proof:biggrin: May be a less scuff running into "shit" but the 19" tires really don't have that much more sidewall. My experience has been the opposite. I have more tire, more aggressive with a stronger longer lasting tread coming in at $400...- brettmess24

Tire selection for 19" rim?
Even though you don't want or need off road tires in 19" your best tire is going to be the Pirelli ATR. The cooper LTZ is an awesome tire but it will be louder than the Pirelli. I have 20" Redbourne wheels with the Cooper LTZ and wouldn't own anything else. I bought the redbournes when I...- brettmess24

Insurance for LR4 & RRS
That all depends on how you are paying for the vehicles. Lease you will not get far without coverage. Purchase and I don't think they care at that point. Yes I would get the vin the day or night before delivery and get some online quotes as well as your local guy. Coverage will then start at...- brettmess24

Good place to buy black pack grille? Deal?
60 gbp which pretty much makes it the same price as oem for us in the states. Fast response so I'm guessing that they run a pretty good biz.- brettmess24

Lr4 Brakes
Raise the height, and turn on the parking brake and it will not do that. With my lr3 I also opened the tailgate and do this on the lr4 but not sure if it's needed like the lr3. Much safer.- brettmess24

Those look great Kevin! I see you have seen the light on the coopers. Do they rub at all? Wish those would fit without the ride height rods.- brettmess24

That will look really good with the Black Land Rover center caps. When I bought the Redbourne Wheels I was hoping the "hyper black" would have been more black. They should have called it hyper silver.:stupid:- brettmess24

Painting with Plasti-Dip
Very cool, that's what I would do on the dukes. Can't wait to see the finished product. The handles are gloss an picked them up from adamesh4x4 in the uk. Need to find the landmark/metropolis grille so everything is the Santorini Black, I might go with more of a gloss on my dukes or maybe...- brettmess24

Are you powder coating the redbournes? Leaving any of the lip chrome? I just installed the black side vents, door handles and smoked turn signals. Thinking grille an wheels next. Might wait and powder coat the wheels till I need new 20" tires.- brettmess24

Trailer wiring harness
I actually did consider the x25,45 and really wanted the 55 but came down to price! I didn't want to spend more than $65k on a boat that I only put 60 hours on a year. Cant even touch a used X25 for $60K! I upgraded the stereo in the yamaha, have a custom mooring cover, awesome grill, 2013...- brettmess24

Dang the new X star is 5400lbs? Is it a 23' or 24' now? I will miss the wake, but thats probably the only thing I will miss. The 24' Yamaha is a winner in every respect. NO props will save me at least $500 a year...lol:biggrin: I loved the mastercraft but it is better suited to smaller...- brettmess24

Absolutely you can tow that easily with either vehicle. Check out the Yamaha jet boaters forum, could be the best forum as far as help and knowledge. Great first boat!- brettmess24

Thats awesome I just sold my 2007 X1 and picked up a Yamaha 242 Limited S as I couldn't bring my self to leave the all navy blue X1 in a wet slip. Plus the yamaha has a really nice layout for my 2 and 5 year old. I will certainly miss the wake of the X1 but not the size. Heres a pic attached...- brettmess24

Yes that is correct. Depending on what you plan to tow you may not care or need the stability assist. I tow a 6000 lb boat.- brettmess24

Trailer wiring harness
I doubt the dealer will update for free. If they are nice they most likely will charge you half an hour if not so nice a full hour. It really is only 10 minutes to make the adjustments with the IIDtool. Do you have the 5 camera option? IIDtool has two options regular and bluetooth...- brettmess24

Trailer wiring harness
No it has to be activated by the dealer or wait for the IIdtool. If you don't have the tow harness you do not plan to tow so it is not Active. Check the picture of a computer for the last step on the instulation instructions. There are settings that need to be turned on.- brettmess24
