    Rocinante

    I believe there is. I spotted an ExMod 110 on I-5 south at the U-District about 6 months ago.

    Land Rover Defender 110 - $19500 (Austin, Texas)

    Ah man you are way too picky. It was simply a rename in 1990 to defender from Ninety/One Ten, not a significant product change. Do you call pre 1995 Range Rover's "Classics"? They weren't Classics till the 95 model was introduced to separate them from the p38s. But everyone refers to 95 and...

    Looking for an LR4

    Awesome. If you want to get that rear locker some exercise and put some pin stripes on it , let me know. There's a good group here in Seattle that goes out regularly. Plenty of LR3's in the mix so you won't feel out of place.

    Need Help Sizing my 50L weekender in a LR4

    You've got no problem at all. Easily clear with an extra 9 inches. The back is truly a cavern and a completely flat floor when you lower the seats. You can fit a "full" mattress and sleep in the car. I once hauled a complete wood queen size bed frame with head/foot board.

    Need Help Sizing my 50L weekender in a LR4

    I forgot to add these measurements last night. These are very conservative measurements. Can be more depending on the angles (2nd row seat back angle, side of cargo area impressions, etc) . The size of the cargo area is: Distance from back seat to tailgate: 37" Width of cargo area: 45" . I...

    Tire decision block!

    Just to clarify - it is the heater hoses you need to move. The refrigerant lines aren't really in the way of bending over the body seam. So you don't have to worry about discharing/recharging the AC. Just topping up the coolant.

    Tire decision block!

    Ah this is easy, but catches a few guys off in the beginning. The secret is the upper control arm bracket right above where the wire is doesn't fully connect with the frame. There is a small opening at the end where it meets the frame. Use a zip tie through this opening to hold the wire off. So...

    Floor Jacks

    I just picked up a Arcan hybrid steel/aluminum 2.5 Ton jack from Costco for $99. Maxes at a bit under 19" which is a little lower than I would like - but I'll just grab a 2x4 to make up the difference if I need it. Honestly for the price it was the best I found.

    Tire decision block!

    Yeah but (at least with my tires) I barely kissed the rear humps and never wore all the way through. So while you will rub a touch, you don't need to do any modifications here to prevent damage with 265/65

    Tire decision block!

    Don't worry too much, you won't rub through the rear heater lines with a 285/60 or 265/65

    Tire decision block!

    265/65 is the largest you can go. I ran them for 2 years at stock height. Johnson Rods website is wrong in this regard (unless they mean absolutely No rubbing at any height). It will rub on the inside front of the fender liner at access if you turn the wheel all the way.

    which year LR3?

    I agree with above. 08+ if you can. I'd be ok with an 07, but may think very hard about 05-06. Only issue with my 08 was the famous broken rear hatch latch cable (which unfortunately happens to them all around 40-50k). $77 and an hour of my time was all it needed.

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    A more detailed answer on #1. It is possible the IIDTool can't give you the same height lift as rods - here's why. The IIDTool (or others) are letting you play with the individual adjustment values for each height sensor. Each height sensor value will be a little bit different - so to level...

    Next-gen Land Rover Freelander will receive Defender nameplate

    It is a test mule - meaning the underpinnings are the new model, but exterior skin is from the Evoque (with a little stretch at the back). How this looks is probably not going to be the real sheet metal. But expect a lot of evoque styling just like the new RRS

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    When I ran the 265/65 at factory height. In access mode they only rubbed a little when turning tight. But if you don't turn that far it won't rub at all.

    DEFENDER is coming back across the pond

    You've heard of the J8? The Egyptian military version that isn't for sale in the US? I think the comparison between defender and TLC/Hilux is a little stretched - I think that matches well with a Discovery 4 > TLC comparison. In my opinion the Wrangler section of the market is filled with the...
