Sad when you have to rely on the aftermarket to actually use something the way its advertised. That still doesn't help its flacid non-tailgate, smaller cargo area, and that it still looks like like a marshmallow trying desperately to be tough with knobbies and stickers proclaiming its "extreme"...

Where's the proof?

20" wheels = no offroad

Running BORA (same as link above) 0.75" spacers on my LR3 with 265/65r18 tires. No more rubbing and improves the looks without the stance of an English bulldog.

I simply believe in treading lightly; on earth, in presentation, and in hardware. Earth: Don't drive through pristine fields Presentation: Don't try to impress people with stickers. Just enjoy your vacation without being a driving billboard for "I'm an adventurer". Just do it, don't advertise...

The issue is any lift, including calibration, not just rods. If you want good alignment don't lift your LR3.

According to this: https://www.wheel-size.com/size/land-rover/discovery-5/2018/ https://www.wheel-size.com/size/land-rover/lr4/2016/ ..lug pattern is the same, but wheel offset and some widths differ.

The Discovery 5 SVX uses Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac in 275/55/R20. KO2 and many other tire options in this size too.

Those are still pretty high profile considering the cross section width.

Someone better inform the Tahoe that boxy utilitarian vehicles aren't feasible anymore. As for the others, yes they're all very different, but what they prove is that boxy, utilitarian vehicles are not only possible, but being manufactured and sold every day.

Funny how a far heavier full-size trucks, rated to tow far more, can stop just fine on itty bitty 16" wheels. Please tell us how you're going to "get used" to overlanding on 20" wheels. Grit your teeth while every other rock eats those fancy wheels? Bring more spares on the non-existent rear...

LR3. It's a big box that goes anywhere. There's nothing else like it on the market for the price. All they needed to do was enlarge the tiny tires to 31s stock, lighten the pig, update/improve the engineering/tech package, update the engine, and refresh the design. Instead, we got a smaller...

If Dodge can offer the Power Wagon, Jeep the Wrangler, Mercedes the G and Sprinter, Ford the Super Duty, and Toyota the TRD-Pro series, I call bull**** on this "metro soft-roader design is necessary and we need to get use to it" idea. They could make a well designed and iconic vehicle, but...

Stock, it's the most capable yet, on a closed course. Out in reality, those 20" wheels wont let it go offroad any real distance (you know, overland..). Stock, it's also the most feminine, plain-jane, small, and non-utilitarian yet. When we checked one out at ABFM my wife asked why these regular...

One more strap and you have a Union Jack.

One life, live it is a bull**** marketing line meant to get us to buy Land Rovers. We're supposed to realize that, not regurgitate it upon people who don't give a damn about our "roam the world" life philosophy stolen from a British car manufacturer, that frankly is impossible for all the but...

Title suggestions: "Rich people with poor taste flaunt vacation while destroying natural landscapes." or "Extreme explorers get lame village people to buy Defenders by spreading "One life - live it" message one sticker at a time."

It's quite simply a capable but fragile prissy mom car. There's really no more to it. Tell me this doesn't summarize its character:

Looks incredibly stupid.

How is a headgasket and power steering pump 7k? It's not rocket surgery.
