    lr4 on 33" tires

    Holy thread resurrection Batman! Those are affectionately known as the "frame horns" Cut-off wheel, or cutting torch, and then a welder is what you need. Many of us here have had them surgically removed. I ran 265/65R18 for a couple years with 18" wheels and they definitely rubbed at full...

    My Quest to Add a Long Range Fuel Tank To My LR4 Begins

    Many. My understanding is that the tank will bolt right up, but that every single fuel connection will need to be custom fabricated or "engineered". I'm going into this armed with the information that mcieplinski was kind enough to provide in his thread, and a dedicated Rover shop that is...

    My Quest to Add a Long Range Fuel Tank To My LR4 Begins

    It's a valid concern, as I remember the Pinto debacle when I was young. But I also spent most of my youth riding around in Silverados with the "deadly" side-saddle gas tanks. Functionally, its an aluminized steel tank, that in this application will also sit behind a rather large and heavy...

    My Quest to Add a Long Range Fuel Tank To My LR4 Begins

    I looked at three different tanks. The Front Runner, one made by Brown-Davis (also in Australia), and the Long Range Automotive that I eventually settled on. The Long Range Automotive tank looked to have a larger capacity and a little better departure angle than the Front Runner unit, although...

    My Quest to Add a Long Range Fuel Tank To My LR4 Begins

    I have seen numerous posts over the years of people wanting to add this modification, and I know there are a few guys out there that have successfully done it. I hope to join their ranks within the next few months, and thought that some of you might enjoy a rundown of the process as it unfolds...

    Adding AFS Headlights to an LR4

    I am positive that it is a selection available under the CCF editor function of the IID tool. It is selectable between fitted/not fitted. I have seen mention on another forum of an AFS "control module" on pre-2009 vehicles. That's why I am asking. I can't find any mention of that module on...

    Adding AFS Headlights to an LR4

    So, I find myself in the position of needing to replace one of the headlights on my LR4. My truck did not come with the AFS option from the factory, so my questions are the following: Can I install an AFS headlight in place of my defective non-AFS headlight and expect it to work normally? If...

    How important are the various underbody protection offerings for the LR4?

    I would definitely go with at least a compressor guard. That is the lowest hanging fruit, and if it is damaged, you are in a world of hurt. FWIW, I ran through 2 sets of AT3's on mine before switching to my current K02's. I would have no problem recommending the AT3's. I drove those things...

    How important are the various underbody protection offerings for the LR4?

    Based on what the bottom of my sliders look like after some talus slope crossings in CO, I wouldn't be without them, at this point.

    275/70/18 on LR3

    Short of a catastrophic airbag failure, I should be mobile. As a last resort, I have the GOE kit with Schrader valves, where I can physically isolate each airbag and air it up using my Viair compressor. Only thing more redundant would be a spare front and rear air spring, which I am not...

    Capability difference between 265/60R18 and 265/65R18 tires in LR4/D4

    I ran 265/65R18 for years on my LR4. Very minimal rubbing just on the tip of the frame horns at full lock. Mobile on the bump-stops. Spare would fit in standard location once aired down. My recipe for a very driveable combo on an LR4 is 1.25" Motortech spacers, LR3 18" wheels of your choice...

    275/70/18 on LR3

    Just another point to clarify a bit. On my rig, at least, only the rears were throwing a fault when the truck was on the bumpstops. The fronts still appeared to be within a range that the computer found acceptable.

    275/70/18 on LR3

    Racehorse is correct. It is just something to carry in the mental file for these trucks. When I dropped mine to bumpstops using the IID tool, I had the same issue. I run the GOE adjustable rods, so it was literally just a matter of sliding your hand in there and sliding the rod over to the...

    275/70/18 on LR3

    Here is where mine is sitting now. Please do post some pictures of yours when you get it done, and the bracket you fabricated. I think there is just enough room to fit my ARB dual compressor in that spot, if I can get the fluid bottle relocated.

    275/70/18 on LR3

    Mine is an LR4, not LR3 so I have to deal with the dual air intakes. The washer bottle is on the passenger side in front of the passenger side air filter housing. I would like to fab up a method to put the washer bottle into the front bumper to free up the space it currently occupies for a...

    275/70/18 on LR3

    Yes, I am running the 1.25" Motorsport Tech spacers mentioned in Scott Brady's build thread. With the 275/65R18 I get slight rubbing at just short of full lock on the TR rock sliders. This rubbing goes away once you hit full lock on the wheel. The frame horns have been cut off and welded over...

    275/70/18 on LR3

    Sorry for the late reply. I bailed out of town for spring break with my girls. Here is mine. On the bumpstops with 275/65R18's At normal height. This is stock offroad height as I run the GOE adjustable rods. TR front bumper. Clearance on the TR rock sliders with 275/65R18's. This...
