18”New Defender steelies on LR4
I Ran 265/65r18 (32") for years and no gearing problems. 255/70r18 is only a 10" wide tire. Thats almost an inch (8%) narrower and will help prevent a lot of rubbing... -
LR3 Expedition Rack on an LR4 with Extended Front Rails?
mine are definitely 7" diameter (including the bezel). some others have used 5" -
LR3 Expedition Rack on an LR4 with Extended Front Rails?
Yes - the G4s cut the cowling to fit 7" round lights. I wanted to stay same as well. Here are some pics I found from the install I followed (sorry I dont remember the name to give credit): -
LR3 Expedition Rack on an LR4 with Extended Front Rails?
Sure; Digging way back to 2015....Measure twice, you only get one chance. Totally unnecessary light, but huge improvement on rack esthetics. before: -
Locker behavior questions
Traction control is a microprocessor controlled 'fight' between engine and brakes. Makes sense that it requires 2000 rpm and a minimum amount of detectable wheel spin. This is exactly why I prefer the ARB air locker. -
18”New Defender steelies on LR4
Yes - V6 LR3 front and rear brakes. No discernable change in braking performance. I am curious if anyone has tried LR3 V6 brakes on LR4. -

Defender is LUST, Disco is LOVE....all depends on what you are looking for. -

LR3 Expedition Rack on an LR4 with Extended Front Rails?
Took me 5 years of scouring craigslist, but I LOVE the aluminum Expo rack. I carry my spare, 16" greenworks chainsaw, 'mattracks', shovel, and totally un-necessary lights: -
Good price or crack pipe?
FALSE and FALSE. ref: also: "Twice as many people prematurely die from air pollution sickness than car accidents in LA county!" -

What's with the self healing satin finish?
Its a $4,880 satin wrap option. Only available on top of the three $710 metallic colors options (Silver, green, & stone) Not available on white, blue, grey, or black - but there are lots of 3rd party wrap/tint places that would do bumper-to-bumper wraps for about that same price. IMHO...- morrisdl

Light grinding sound from rear right tire area when turning right.
Its old news, but you can flatten the bulge in the rear/passenger wheel liner pretty easily. I ran 32" tires with 0" lift for years. -
Light grinding sound from rear right tire area when turning right.
My creaking recently was just a few loose lug nuts. Always easy to check 1st. -
What's with the self healing satin finish?

Storage Mod
Do all 5 seat LR3's have that storage, or did you build it? Id trade my 3rd row seats for tool storage like that! -
Johnson Rods vs Proud Rhino
I love Lucky8 stuff, but I would recommend neither. Get or make adjustable rods for for now and after GAP IIDtool supports Defender2 like these: https://amzn.to/30y544W << do not buy these, just an example **Not sure how different the LR3/LR4/RRS rods are from Defender in length** Adjustable... -
2020 defender off road pack - rear locker
I dont own either 90 or 110, but spot both alot...IMHO the 110s seem lot less bouncy (better climbing traction) and more than make up for the breakover disadvantage if equipped with a winch.- morrisdl

5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
This will be the 'SVR' LR4 that land rover should have made! I have heard that the hydrolic swaybars also open (like disconnect) when in rock crawl mode. I would confirm before undertaking such a feet. Good luck!! -
2020 defender off road pack - rear locker
ALSO - I am sure the traction control is very good in the Def2. I added an ARB locker to a 5 year old rover and it hasn't really enabled me to tackle more extreme terrain. It just does now with less strain on the drive line now. Without lockers the traction control is literally fighting...- morrisdl

I did a thing
GREAT MOD! Pics on the underside too please - Promise no judging on your wire mgt I took off the hood/bonnet gas struts long ago and just use the hinge locks. Love how much more it opens (Vertical now). Hope you have enough slack in the wire. -

LR4 vs Defender
RTT Look super cool, but not great option for east-coast wheeling. -
LR4 vs Defender
Im not so sure...LR3/4 and Defender2 are all the MOST capable off-road land rovers offered of their respective era's. ** Well in north america i should say. They all also happen to be VERY similar sized, with exception of the Defender2 being just a too short (1.7M / 5'6") to sleep in - big...
