    good theory as to how it missed the mark.

    Yup. Throwing 60s under a TJ doesn't make it anymore reliable for "overland travel" than one with the factory axles. Mr. Myagi said.. "must have balance"

    LR4 Off-Road Towing

    IIRC the old trucks had some crazy high limit of like 14,000lbs? at 5mph offroad, center diff open, low range "in case of emergencies." But even those were rated for normal towing at 7700lbs which is bonkers that something with 170hp could even manage to move that weight, but it does. I towed...

    Shiftpod; The obvious alternative

    I'd beg the differ. My son LOVES the roof tent. It's his treehouse. That being said, I sold mine and am going to a ground tent. Why? All the negatives about a RTT are really noticeable. And the softcover tent SUCKS to set up and put away. I'm not interested in the Shiftpod because frankly it...

    Goodyear Wrangler Boulder mt tire.

    Everyone who has these hates them. They came on Trailhawk WKs and the LR Defender.

    2024 Land Cruiser in the USA?

    It definitely increases the axle’s load carrying, and I’m sure they didn’t want dealers charging $3500 in labor for rear rotor replacement if it was a conventional style. Not to mention training all the techs how to properly pack a bearing… lol

    2024 Land Cruiser in the USA?

    I don't think they'd be able to fit the appropriate sized wheel bearings and a hub and fit it in a 5x5 bolt pattern if they did it the conventional way. The solid Rover axles are the smallest full floaters I've seen and the bolt pattern is a 5 lug but almost Mitsu Fuso sized.

    Disco 5 diesel rear shocks swap .

    You put white shock on a D5? I would have at least given Fox a call. I didn’t realize the air springs and shocks are separate on these like the RR.

    LR4 mods for 265x65r18 tires

    You don’t need to do anything to the truck with that tire size besides mount them.

    Fall run to NJ Pine Barrens & Eastern Long Island NY.

    Glad you had a nice time a the Peconic campground, I've driven by it countless times and there is always a group or two there so I wondered what it was like. I believe it's also year-round which is the opposite of all the other state and country parks out here. Plenty of great stops along Sound...

    LR3 vs L322 range rover what would you look for when buying?

    The motors are the same. If I didn’t need the third row, and didn’t mind the very slight loss in cargo volume I’d be going full size Range Rover. The sport in that generation is based on the LR3/4 platform and pretty small inside.

    Best quality replacement LR3/4 front lower control arms

    IIRC LCAs are interchangeable but UCAs are not.. up front at least.

    New Defender News

    Top Gear's offroad chase trucks went from L322 Range Rovers, to LR3/4, and then to Rangers. Not Hiluxes. So, threes a lot to be said there.

    New Defender 90 vs. 2 Door Wrangler Rubicon

    The likelihood of you breaking axles in a JL or Defender while on stock tires is near zero.

    New Defender 90 vs. 2 Door Wrangler Rubicon

    If you’re getting into situations where you need more than the rear locker and extraordinary traction control you’re on the wrong trail and should have brought something with solid axles. I’m saying this as a LR4 owner who’s buy a D110 if I could.

    New Defender 90 vs. 2 Door Wrangler Rubicon

    Without question the Jeep is a better wheeler. 35s stock, 37s with minimal mods. The 90 will be comfortable, is larger inside, quieter, and will do every trail that you’d be “overlanding” on with ease.
