I won't argue there is a special place in hell for having the spare under the truck and needing to change it. Inevitably that will happen when it is freezing cold, and precipitating. Or swelteringly hot. Or combined with being offroad and the truck being precariously perched. However... How...

I'd get them from TexasTJ at the moment, but failing that: https://www.lrdirect.com/RNG500060-Spacer/ That should get you sorted.

Got a few minutes as I wait for folks to rally up here in the great white north before we enjoy the heat wave of 8 deg temps with the extra benefit of light snow falling. SD rack, chicken coop flooring: With the flooring it is perfect as a platform. Flat across the top racks like the modern...

That actually just means the headlights are on-I updated my CCF via IID a long time ago to have clock on dash (aka MY07-09) and as a result you get that when the headlights are on-there is a hybrid CCF but I'm too lazy to reflash. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not quite by a fire but adult beverages are certainly be consumed. This am: Which meant she was pissy (has a brand new battery) After letting her warm up and then clearing with the IID all was fine. Heat wave! So we went down to the lake (Superior) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Continued service in N WI. I wish I had a block heater... Kiddo is getting some good time out on the roads though, won't get this chance in VA often. ATV needed moving bc it wouldn't start. Got to use the winch, which worked well in ~ -11 Towed it to the fire hall to warm up (FIL is...

You will want the 2" lift for the 265's, most tend to run the 235/85's to keep them skinny. For your application I'd actually consider 245's which look quite nice. The SD rack with chicken coop flooring is the way to go. See my sig line for how all that looks on a D1. Tried and true setup...

While true, that's an apples to oranges comparison. An out of the box D1 with just a locking CDL vs an LR3 off the floor isn't a fair fight either-and to your point, I've seen plenty of locked/lifted Defenders get walked by comparison from a well driven LR3. In reality though they are...

I hear ya. I'm a known Dii skeptic (& P38 for that matter). I generally believe that they were necessary to get from the D1/RRC to the L319/L322 platforms which are excellent vehicles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Two days, ~1200 miles. Fantastic truck. Why not Eats up cargo; somehow with three ladies we could see out the back-with just one duffle and snowboard up top. Eldest gets some time in on the highway All worth it. I mean really worth it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Somewhere in Ohio...on a day where we did 800mi in 13hrs, truck just eats miles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's still on track; just need to use it as a chance to highlight that the 3.5/3.9/& even 4.0 GEMS motors had far less issues than the 4.0 Bosch and 4.6 blocks did. Many conflate the Dii issues with the rest of the family, whereas those that stick with D1 & RRC's just don't see those issues on...

Midland MXT 115 GMRS radio Finally got all the small things sorted for the GMRS install. As noted a few weeks back my partner in crime and I both found ourselves intrigued by Midland's Micromobile line of vehicle mounted GMRS radios. The ability to have it hard mounted in a vehicle is nice...

Exactly. I wasn't joking, posting those on Defender source will get some interest, and the NATOs are pretty much the same as it relates to a D1. Don't get me wrong, if they are your jam then roll them-but I'd at least toss the feeler out over there b/c the 130 folks are always looking for the...

For realz, D90 source guys would drop serious $$$ on these-and the NATOs look just as right! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No. Maintenance history, maintenance history, and maintenance history. Some will say the 05's had teething problems; evidence of that is not as widespread as the notion is. These are fantastic platforms (like any vehicle, if maintained). r- Ray

Just pull the ABS fuse, everyone else does. Regarding everything else-keep in mind that platform did the Camel Trophy (well....the diesel did). Toyota? Well, it moves the Taliban ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got a hacked up panavise that I'd let go for short $ if you want to play w/it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We are looking at a GMRS repeater, either part time or full time, for the offroad park in my sig line. The owner has his license, as do I, and given the expanse of property he'd like coverage into the LOS dead spots. Note: this isn't really for the conduct of park business (as GMRS really...

The long and short of that is it depends. Depends on how laden the truck is particularly, if you put the spacers in, etc. But at the end of it all, it basically is the standard off road (not extended) height when you swap on +2 coils. More info here...
