    Should I buy a defender 110?

    its a complete piece of ****. really. the fact that they still make these things is beyond any comprehension. be forewarned, you are buying the absolute worst car made, in quality, durability, or ergonomics. at any point in time, anything can break, and the further you are from home, the more it...

    Fuel milage???? 80 and a 100

    the 100 better than the 80, the 5 speed better than the 4 speed. all different levels of suck. do a search. this is like starting new thread on max tire sizes. you can look at the EPA off the web, which is close. considering the cycle they use, and manufacturer fudging, anyone claiming more...

    Seriously Considering a 2006-2007 100 series

    as someone that has owned and wheeled defender 110nas gwagon lx470 id say the 100 is the best all around truck, albeit by far the most boring. im sure the 200 has improvements, but i dont know if ill notice them. the lx470 has been wheelled, lifted, loaded, and hammered and still doesnt...

    Lexus LX470 Rear Cabin Conversion...

    Drivability of 35" tires compared to 33"

    Both when you get right down to it. 80% of the significant weight of a 37 is at the tread. I dont think id want 37s on 80 stock brakes.

    Drivability of 35" tires compared to 33"

    Pro comp. There was shortage of the goodyear kevlars and i needed a set asap, so i said ******. They gave me a deal. Lateral grip doesnt seem good, but i told the kevlar lateral grip is stinky too. The km2s. Were 80 bucks more a tire, and no one had 5. Lesson, dont wait till the last minute. Tire...

    got a new trooper

    107, ooo miles. I can't explain the mileage and body condition. Yes, it's 2000 a year, but it's still 107 on a 4wd economy car. Very odd. Someone was a damn anal owner.

    got a new trooper

    5500.00 im torn between a full resto, since it only needs correct trim and rear seat, and making it a mini overlander that will never overland. GVW is 4700 and curb is 3600. i can have custom rear springs made here, but an 8274 and full bumper/guard has me concerned up front. i dont have any...

    Drivability of 35" tires compared to 33"

    its a 5% reduction in power to the pavement thru reduced gear reduction. if youre seeing 30% less mileage, youve got more going on than just tires. all that considered, the 35 provides much more advantage offroad, than disadvantage on road if shocks are valved properly. its 10 pounds of...
