That's so strange. My G550 only needs a flathead screwdriver to take the spare tire cap off. I like how it looks so far, particularly the meaty tires and lack of running boards.

Sent!

Where did you run the wires from the panel to inside the Rover? I looked through your pictures and I couldn't find anything that stood out to me. My best guess is that you ran them to the back of the rack and then maybe inside, but from where?

My friend has built a custom TJ pickup. He lengthened the frame on both sides of the rear axles, about 17 inches if memory serves correctly, to accommodate the bed. The tire swings away and it is running on some monster tires right now. The top is removable and was modified to pickup size. I...

Since Cape Lookout is listed, what about visiting Portsmouth Island? It's very remote and pretty close, geologically speaking, from the lighthouse.

Yes, when you combine powers with some aggressive bumper and wheel arch modifications, they will fit okay. I have just been super curious to know how pages like http://www.johnsonrods.com/johnson_rods_2_004.htm just say "Johnson Rods Required" and no other mention of what else needs to be done...

That's the result that I expect now that I have really looked and seen what is under the wheel well.

Is anyone running a 275/65/R18 STT Pro? I went to the tire shop today to get some mounted, and while I have plenty of vertical clearance from the Proud Rhino lift, the horizontal clearance looks pretty troubling. It looks like it is going to rub the upper A-arm pretty severely at highway...

My wife has all of the action photos and video still on her camera. When she pulls them off the camera and processes them, I will post the vids to the facetube or somewhere similar.

I have been curious about this for quite some time, now. How do you get any 20-inch all terrain tire onto a Range Rover with the least amount of modifications. I just found a thread on the Range Rover forum about just such a topic...

So my wife has been in Yoga teacher training in Asheville, NC. I went to go see her on one of her two days off during the school. I got to meet her fellow yoga students and we went out and generally had a good time drinking too much and playing inappropriate bar games. At about 10 or 11 Friday...

That's a nice looking truck, good luck in your build. I am curious to see how your wheel/tire conversion works out.

Thanks everyone, this is super helpful!

I have, perhaps, a silly question. What would the maximum safe passenger capacity be in a single cab configuration rig with a camper box on the back, something like an Earth Cruiser? Are there provisions for seat belts in the camper box? Is that safe? I ask because it seems like an attractive...

What size are those Goodyear Wrangler tires? One of the biggest concerns I have with the AMG is the brake size, which limits your wheel selection, which in turn restricts your tire selection. Are you using LT-rated tires?

Dude. +1 for everything. Impressive.

That is good work, thanks for everyone's input.

I like your style already. I test drove a brand new G63 and it was pretty epic. I really, really enjoyed the power that it had. I don't need it, but boy do I like it. Based on my prior test drives, I am going to guess that the G550 relates to the G63 much in the same way that the LR4 relates to...

That is pretty much how you deal with low-octane fuel in forced induction engines these days. The knock sensor will more or less mitigate any damage that could occur, just don't thrash it. I'm okay with that.

So I have test drove all of the vehicles on my list and I am pretty sure I know what to do now. The Rovers are amazing vehicles, particularly the supercharged full-fat Range Rover. The only thing nicer than it is hand-made in Italy. The LR4 is super-utilitarian and the third row of seats is...
