Extended Warranties
I'm not aware of many aftermarket warranties that will go past 8 yrs from original but maybe that was just for a vehicle still in factory warranty coverage. I'd do the math on warranty cost vs 3 top/likely & most expensive repairs vs saving cash for 2 yrs. I only did an extended when it was...- jwest

WHAT WOULD YOU DO!? BUYING MY FIRST LR4...
I love this post. For years I had zero means of buying into the Land Rover make but then the means developed and the justification as well. That was 1999 and I still own 3 of them ;) However, my goal summer 2017 was to spend less on tools and parts than a dealer would cost for a comprehensive... -
Cost to replace one front strut
What gave you trouble on the rear struts? I don't recall any of them being very difficult or very different. FYI to anyone considering this, if you use a splice type connector, you are adding 4 more locations for potential failure in the air lines. For the rear I sourced a full metal parts... -

WHAT WOULD YOU DO!? BUYING MY FIRST LR4...
You people with not only one dealer, but several withing easy distance aren't getting the main concern here. Thunder Bay is no where near a dealer and in areas like that there are also slim choices for truly competent independent shops. I would not buy a Land Rover, especially newer, without... -
Fox 2.0 shocks
you're missing my preference, LLAMS from australia. I have been using for several years now. It's a must-have IMO. -
Fox 2.0 shocks
so longer control arms, extended axles, etc? I saved my old control arms for such purpose someday. Current suspension parts really are best suited to the air struts. Any of the available struts would massively reduce the off road capability I have gotten spoiled by recently. Give the strut... -
Fox 2.0 shocks
that probably sounded kinda snarky.... I come by it naturally. I spend a ton of time on the keyboard so no offense meant ;) But I also got put it to use and get dirty. -
Fox 2.0 shocks
well, what "issues" ...? LOL More likely too much time on the keyboard than "off the road" ;) There are pretty much ZERO "issues" in even the most extensive off road uses. Guess what... not one steel spring kit yet can provide more effective lift for larger tires. What this means is the... -
Cost to replace one front strut
yeah, you will enjoy a "1/4 drive flex head extra long handle" for sure. I think you're right that passenger/ starboard side is easier but i use the same tools each side. Also the socket is short but just enough to go over the nut and exposed stud. Those two components make it actually easy... -
Cost to replace one front strut
Ah yes, I can see that but honestly nothing is needed once the air is out of the system and I'm even dealing with the added length of 50mm strut spacers which make it worse. This is also due in part to being deliberate in lifting the other side as well though. This removes the pressure from... -
Cost to replace one front strut
not quite, have you done this job? ;) No prybar is needed for any of this so I'm not sure what that was for. What did you use it on? 3x 15mm nuts, not "bolts" for the top of strut to mount 1x large through bolt at bottom of damper has a 24mm nut and 21mm bolt head, the nut requires either... -
Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels
to go with wheels you might appreciate having lug nuts that don't have the stupid chrome shell that always deforms even if you're careful because some asshole at a shop is going to NOT use the 22mm because it's a little snug. They'll use a 7/8 and then the shells are toast. I have a set in... -
WHAT WOULD YOU DO!? BUYING MY FIRST LR4...
Twin cities roughly 6 hrs so wow that's a haul. I'm from Grand Marais... ;) Honestly, in your area....I'd get a Toyota Land Cruiser or Lexus lx 570. I am a multi-vehicle owning, 20 year, Land Rover lover so there ya go. LC 200 series very nice and also very good value for the early years... -

Questions About 20’s
i wouldn't trim the liner before trying to zip tie it back just enough instead. There's no real surprise as to the rub only on driver side there. The liners and whats behind them are different. That spot is tight on mine too and I di actually cut out an arched shape starting at the corner... -
Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
lololololol if people would just say up front "i'm too cheap to choose the better option" or "i just want this wheel that looks cool to me" then there would be no debate. Defending ones choice with nonsensical feelings starts the cycle. The bmw wheels don't even have the ideal offset... -
Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
also, your math got weird... ;) 44-36= 8mm more than compo. 54-36=18 more than factory. there are also 25mm spacers which are just 7mm more than those wheels but yes, they are probably a bit of a let down for people trying larger tires. I'm really liking the idea of the darn mudtechs, maybe... -
Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
Yes i did see that note about lr4 brakes. I forgot this was an lr4 thread and yes, the v8 get bigger brake rotors both in US and Europe. I didn't notice the offset though. Seems like the compo is still the best choice or the ones at mudtech which seemed similarly snug. I was amazed actually... -
Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
more LOL for you then. What is relevant about the vehicle weight? you mentioning that is laughable. Do you have any clue what an expedition prepped vehicle weighs...? The gvwr is for lawyers and care to be taken. This is not the same comparison as the tire design topic. To give you a... -
BFG KO2 265/65 18 PSI?
nice! the OP started this thread about "psi" in the 18" 265/65 - i've forgotten why not but the psi is highly weight dependent as we hopefully went over. I could see a stock lr3/4 on 31.5"-32" tire going to 20 psi after seeing mine at 24-26 on 34" tires. I forgot to record psi when i was... -

hey wheel dorks (me included in that label) look what i found in some searching. 5 spoke 1400 kg rated, $218usd, not bad: https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/land-rover-discovery/discovery-3/wheels-and-tyres/?per_page=64&sort=price_asc -
Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
more LOL yet you're going to roll around at 1-1.5" "lift" for no apparent reason...? Do you like more brake dive or is it the body sway they you want more of by rolling "lifted"? Just poking fun here but seriously, you're going to go on about braking performance due to tire size yet use any... -
Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
LOL What do you think a D110 weighs on big outings.... Well, it's about 100% easy/no-brainer to just buy better tires. Please do tell me how I can as easily just buy a vehicle that is gvwr for 8000+ lbs that is not a full size truck.... .... yeah, it's a ridiculous comparison. It is... -
Making a case for the D5
TATA motors stock has been getting crushed this year, totally crushed. So I wonder how the market will cause them to rethink things such as engine choices in different markets.
