    And that was jeep first go and it was because of a better damper. But it’s all subjective opinion and everyone has one. It’s also pretty well documented on this forum that I really dislike these trucks and regret buying mine, I’m sure that plays in it too.

    It’s been done. Was not a ton better. air is a utility thing. Lift, leveling And stuff like that it’s a dampers that make the ride. I’ve never thought the Discovery 3’s were up to snuff on any 3 I’ve been in. I’m sure it’s better in LR4s and range rovers but the LR3 is pretty rough. the 2010...

    06 coils and 08 air. The 08 has KO2 witch are the worst tire on the planet. 06 has Michelin’s LTX’s that are a joy. So that plays to some of it for sure.

    The air dose have its benefits. Self leveling and lifting the truck off road. But I do t think a better ride is one of them. If I could afford a new defender I would definitely want a coil spring 90.

    We live on a bumpy ranch road and my wife’s coil truck floats the bumps where the air ride just kind of bounces off of them. Some of that is the crappy BFG tires on my truck compared to my Wife’s Michelin’s. But it’s like a Cadillac vs a Silverado. I have a vary well maintained suspension...

    Cutting the Fat. Bumpers???

    Well after contemplating all this and talking with family I may feel out ebay first and see what I can get if I sell the Truck. It is well cared for and fully kitted, but I would need to sell it for at least 10k for it to be worth wild. Said any saving on economy with a new vehicle would be...

    Cutting the Fat. Bumpers???

    @Victory_Overland[/USER] I have pulled what I can out of my interior too. I pulled my 3ed row and switched it with my Wife's 5 seater rear deck. Although I did not pull the Rear AC as My dog Rides back there on long Family Trips. I was surprised how much they weighed, I would pull two of my...

    Love the look of the Green with the White Roof and those steel wheels :love:, but that Box on the back window is a wreck waiting to happen on a Left hand Drive truck. I guess the feel the blind spot monitoring system is better than the shoulder check.

    Cutting the Fat. Bumpers???

    I can’t afford to buy a new vehicle right now as I am an underplayed school teacher. There are also other economic factors that are not anyone’s business on a forum, but needless to say I’m in the truck for another couple of years.

    Cutting the Fat. Bumpers???

    I am seriously thinking for selling/ Trading my front and Rear Bumpers to help get the Fat out of my truck. I bought the Truck with the bumpers on it so I have no knowledge of what it takes to remove them and I would need Replacement factory bumpers. Would it be fair to ask $1800 for the...
