Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
um, yes. Have you not seen a cross axle wobble? ;) It's also about the amount when in extreme side load even if only 30% per tire which could then be 2100 lbs but in a force direction not intended. I'm not a fan of using much of anything at or beyond it's actual designed rating - except... -
Making a case for the D5
Nice. Most I recall seeing was 8200 on a solo trip one summer. Crazy to think it would’ve been 8400 with a friend and more of their own gear. -
Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
LOL yes but it’s not so much about “2 wheels” (which I’ve experienced sereval time just last month), it’s about 7000-8000 lbs on tires dropped to 24psi and rolling in sharper objects than mall curbs. There is a lot more benefit in E tire construction than just the resulting load rating. Just... -
the LR4 19inch tire dilemma
those look pretty darn good. should be great in all but the worst dry conditions off road and they look like they should handle snowy slush very well too. -
Making a case for the D5
You can. CAT scales or similar at truck stops. Can also get split axle, trailer, etc -
Making a case for the D5
Ha! I have ARRI and Mole Richardson fresnel hot lights! :) D5 butt stinks. D5 cockpit rocks for long road trips though site lines are weak. I’d buy a new Land Cruiser over D5 without even a hesitation unless I were sure I could get a td6 and 18’s onto it and rip the back seats out. Nah, the... -
BFG KO2 265/65 18 PSI?
Well, “d’oh” on me is what havevtobsay now LOL. It’s refreshing my memory and I think you’re right in that. I have the llams quick height switch and knew I wanted the struts to retain same length so I probably switched the llams to 2” higher mode right off the bat. Then I found the computers... -
BFG KO2 265/65 18 PSI?
actually not quite. after strut spacers and iidtool to "tight tolerence" the fender to hub 515 525 which are the +50 like you wrote, you end up with nothing "in between" but it being pretty much right at factory off road height. the only difference may be that factory orh may be more lift in... -
BFG KO2 265/65 18 PSI?
dding the strut spacer and doing nothing else...how could that result in same vehicle height? vehicle knows nothing of what you did, so why would the struts now magically allow themselves to compress? the vehicle will only know that the control arms are angled down while it has not told the... -

BFG KO2 265/65 18 PSI?
Hey no problem. psi that low should basically never be used on the street assuming any normal street speeds which would be unwise aside from rather annoying. Obviously you could choose to drive around the block at 20 psi but why would you want to? ;) -
BFG KO2 265/65 18 PSI?
This sort of sarcasm is not helpful to people new to this. If you're going to post something like that you need to also note that it's a joke. Miss-information leads to confusion for newbies. -
LR4 Offroad Performance WITHOUT Heavey Duty Package
I think it’s roughly 5 mph or so. Almost stopped works fine too. Fully stopped does work as well. Best to Er on safe side imo -
LR4 Offroad Performance WITHOUT Heavey Duty Package
doubt its any different than some common sense. On the quickly changing forest roads I usually use low because it tightens the range and also having more torque in say 3/4 it stays in the gear better than trying to stay in 2 then hitting a hair pin and it shifts to 1, then 2, etc. super... -
LR4 Suspension Adjustments with Added Weight
No it looks perfectly correct. Bad photo angle and shade vs sun. Plus, the lr3/4 do keep more fender gap at the rear with my hunch being it’s because the lr3/4 are expected to actually haul more than a superbly riding Range Rover. You also have to realize that the rear will just be off if the... -
Move on or Fix
Oh come on now! Lol you’re implying he’s lying or they are lying. You apparently don’t know squat about that crew so maybe think next time before shitting on one of the few good Indy shops. The point being made is the lr3 are holding up with less major engine issues compared to lr4’s which... -
Is it possible to remove the middle seat
Lol - 6 year old ghost thread back to life -
BFG KO2 265/65 18 PSI?
Sorry but much of that *is incorrect. Factory 18’s, no wheel spacer, shorter rod ONLY to keep computer seeing things in its happy range( they are not over correcting to add height) So, the strut spacer adds 2” to the distance from bottom mount in LCA to top of strut mount hat. My intention and... -
BFG KO2 265/65 18 PSI?
It would be very useful if you ever have a chance to get weighed with or without the roof load? Do you have any other heavy items aside from the roof and what looks like decent steel sliders? My sliders have 100% coverage and are 100 lbs per side. The crazy Asfir rear diff guard was like... -
BFG KO2 265/65 18 PSI?
was that sarcasm? .... road psi you cannot really simply ask what people use unless you know their vehicle weight. a stock lr3/4 with an E load 265/65-18 is probably barely ok using 42psi but a factory tire and size is fine at 42. If you have weight on it, like mine, you'd be advised to use... -
Move on or Fix
so where are you located? maybe you just need a better shop/second opinion. -
LED swap help
are you actually talking about the hidden lamps that illuminate the various buttons and switches? why do those matter at all? they just sit there and glow. most people will replace dome lamps, door grounding, rear hatch, the kinds of lights that come on when doors are opened. you might be... -
LED swap help
Those sound like what i put into the dome lights but did you read his post? He's talking about all the instrument lights behind various buttons and such..... WHAT THE HELLLLLL is going on with that??? who does that? why? sounds nuts and useless. -
Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
Yes, that occurred to me later as to why I said they go more with the upper job. None of my bolts had to be cut or sawed at. Guess I was lucky considering this was all original with I think close to 130k. Decent air tools and impact gear might've helped. I thought the sway bar was one of the... -
