Bump for location update: they are in Cary, NC and a deal would need to be local. -

LR3 starter: DIY replacement completed
Aside from all the crap to remove to make access easy, the job was really simpler than expected. There are only 2 mounting bolts and 2 wiring connections. One has to be careful with the clip connector or course. . I got a new Denso unit from Britparts Utah and saved roughly $900 over a... -
Red Clay Rally, The Rovers are Coming
Agreed. I think the perfect largest size tire for the lr3/4 plus of course normal trimming would be 275/75-18 on an 8" rim with only enough offset to clear the A arm at full extension. -
Spacers. Yes or No? If yes, then how?
Ok. This makes more sense now and would be the only way that bigger tire on the lr4 would actually work fully. -
Spacers. Yes or No? If yes, then how?
Basically not possible to have 100% movements with the tire that wide and that diameter with them also not tucked in. They will run into the fender flares upon full compression. This does not happen often as most videos and my own experience shows it takes quite the situation to fully stuff... -
How to get unstuck in deep water?
Aluminum. Mine are Rasta but I don't think they are in the US anymore. There are some others out there for sure. -
How to get unstuck in deep water?
Truly cost effective basics avoiding the bling of $$$ racks, bumpers, winches, etc: 1st-shovel, a stock vehicle with street tires can benefit the most from a shovel 2nd-waffle boards 3rd-proper tire and wheel (this means 18", if you're trying to use a 19, well, none of this matters) and a size... -
How to get unstuck in deep water?
They're only going to help with skidding on hard items but when you cannot even see every potential thing under even shallow muddy water, they're possibly more important there than on dry ground where you could be more careful on choosing a line. When there's mud and some unknown, it's likely... -
How to get unstuck in deep water?
The maxtrax are good where their good, but I prefer to have my gear do multiple functions. Basically, the rigid choices do everything a maxtrax can but far more. The HD Mantec ladders are like $600 though and that is one reason you rarely see them. They are even more insanely awesome though... -
How to get unstuck in deep water?
on a traditional diesel, you could set up the vehicle to literally continue running while buried in 5 feet of water. Ours are not that.... the lr3/4 snorkles you see are best helping to draw slightly less dusty air from higher up when traveling behind others. Even if you were to perfectly... -
How to get unstuck in deep water?
I resisted saying at first, but now cannot help myself: If you've stopped, in "deep" water, you're in a world of trouble that seriously should have been avoided. What is "deep" begs the question here. Above door sill so it flows in upon your exit? Dang that sounds like a bad day to me for an... -
Spacers. Yes or No? If yes, then how?
Just remember, Rods are useless unless combined with strut spacers, for which they are then actually required to make computers happy. Get an electronic means of lifting when needed so the vehicle can spend most of it's time where it was engineered to live, factory neutral ride height. -
Spacers. Yes or No? If yes, then how?
You should realize you will loose all turning and compression limits. The further out you set tire that width, the worse you make it. They are using that on steel springs which gives up all the travel range already. The only way that works without cutting a ton of stuff. To tell you in a... -
How to get unstuck in deep water?
Your post made me think of something, yet another winning feature of waffle boards which I'll describe after a mini-rant. A lot of people new to this will only suggest Maxtrax or similar but in my opinion they are one of the most hyped but not all that hot items I've seen come along in 20... -
Red Clay Rally, The Rovers are Coming
Cool story/trip! Why'd you choose that wider tire vs something that would tuck in better like a 285/70-18 which is almost 34" but with a section 11.5" ? It's perfect on an 8" wide wheel. After test fitting a few sizes, I landed on that size for factory wheels that fit right in amazingly using... -
Upper Control Arm Striking air shock Phenomenon
I ran my struts to maybe 120-140k so I'm sure they were well worn out considering the weight. I think only one front air spring aluminum case had a slight scrape on it. The whole "puncture" thing sounds more like a one time thing for some odd reason or maybe just not relevant to USA builds. -
17" Wheels - How I got them on my LR3
Yeah, it's simple really, just get that factory wheel, change the brakes to the smaller rotors and carrier, done. The brakes parts will be found in the "v6 usa" section of a parts diagram as should the wheels. Rovers North can also help with this project. -
LR4 on 33's
There's nothing to make the choice of 20's over 18's any less inferior. "Fit" and function are 2 very different things and it's clear some people are not concerned with choosing the best solutions. The irony is that Land Rover design has generally stayed withing the "form follows function"... -
Time to sell LR4
I think you might want to decide first, how much work are you willing to put in to remove and replace to factory those extras, then also start with it advertised as both ways. Take first way, then adapt to either leave all parts on for the buyer who wants it, or remove to sell separately. Over... -
10.4 inch tesla style infotainment screen
looks like one of the worst designs i've ever seen. Please ask yourself, then slap yourself for even considering this garbage, why are there no photo of it from a real life perspective of the driver sitting position? Even from the passenger seating...? Shitt asz design stuffed into a place it... -
5 Disco II 18x8 Hurricane alloy with Michelin XPC 4x4
I have since new a set of 5, Disco II, wheel model is I think "Hurricane" They are 18x8 with oldish but deep tread Michelin xpc 4x4 tires 255/55x18, the spare is an odd model but same size. Will try to get photos up Sunday. Cary, NC, make an offer, no slow or fast leaks. -
Towing too much for 2018 Disco?
A lot of that is also based on the factory tires which dramatically limit the towing capacity and safety. Get proper tires like D or E load and you'll have plenty for the added hitch weight and the massive sway 8000 lbs will push into the rear end. I towed a nearly 8000 lb loaded tandem coast...- jwest

BFG AT KO2 275/65-18 (31.7") fairly new - 5
LOL. "i want them for less than 1/2 new and free shipping" don't we all... these are right for the local person in PNW region who appreciates that I'm willing to drive 100 miles to help make it work and save you several hundred $. $950 meet you part way, $800 you pick up. -

sorry the other post wouldn't let me delete it or change title.
