A friend of mine did the Alu-Cab conversion on his 110 - If you want to be the envy of all your friends... Even my sister thought that is one of the coolest campers ever.

Well, I really wanted the Ingenium 6 diesel but it doesn't look good for diesels in this country and the MHEV sort of scares me so I'm going with the P300 4 cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine. I'm an old guy so I don't need a lot of horsepower but I'm really going to miss the 450 ft-lbs of...

So how long until you guys have a set of rock sliders ready for the new 110? I'm not taking mine off road until a set of your sliders is mounted on it. I learned that hard lesson at Tellico with my Range Rover a lot of years ago. The build order for my new 110 is going in the system this week.

Back a few years ago when I was judging a state science fair one of the elementary school kids did an experiment with the cooperation of one of his parents friends who owned a local car dealership. They lined up seven identical cars in a row along the edge of the dealer parking lot. The only...

Well that's good news, means that we will be able to start accesorizing our new Defenders right away. First thing I would want would be rock sliders and skid plates. I will wait to see what ARB will come up with for bumpers but a friend of mine has some great bumpers on his Toyotas made here in...

I had a rented four door Wrangler out in Ft Worth for a week - the year before they went to the more powerful V-6. It was a slug on the highway. It was noisy and I just about face planted a couple of times getting out of the thing - your trailing foot would catch the door sill and trip you up...

One thing I really like about the Hannibal rack on my Defender 90 is the lengthwise slats - much quieter.

The factory rack doesn't mask the satellite radio antenna, it looks like frontrunner one doesn't have the notch at the trailing edge to keep the antenna exposed. A friend of mine has a frontrunner rack on his LR3, there are a couple of small details about the rack that he doesn't like. The...

One of the best things about the D5 is the integrated parking brake actuators on the rear calipers instead of the tunnel mounted unit of the LR3/4. I wonder if the D5 calipers can be mounted on an earlier truck?

If JLR decides to bring a diesel in (which is not at all certain according to sources there) ... I'd be happy with the 240 HP four cylinder version of the diesel myself but the six would be outstanding. I like white Land Rovers so Fuji White will work for me but wrapping it is a pretty good...

Tangier Orange, Conniston Green, Marine Blue, Kent Green, Mid Grey just think of all the old colors that would look great on this truck....

It's the only bright color in the whole line up so that's my choice as well. One thing Land Rover could learn from Jeep and Toyota is the interesting choices of colors that those other brands offer.

Does anyone know if the Defender will have shift paddles like the D5?

OK Land Rover - Jeep has thrown down the gauntlet... https://www.carscoops.com/2019/12/2020-jeep-wrangler-ecodiesel-rated-at-25-mpg-combined/

Doing the cooling system like you did is the single greatest step to a reliable Land Rover Discovery. Congratulations on a really nice truck!

How about ALL Proud Rhino sliders... Don't exclude us D5 owners...

I'll take you guys word for it on the 17's - all of my experience is with even number tire sizes. My LR3 had 19" wheels on it when I bought it and there was crap offered back then (about 8 years ago) so I bought a set of 18" wheels for it. My old Land Rovers have 16's and the D5 has 20's.

No there is an 18" alloy wheel available as well. I don't think that 19's are offered, which is fine because the selection of good 19" tires is very limited ( as well as 17" tires). Tire manufacturers are starting to offer some good 20" tire choices.

I was looking at one of the Trek D5's at my local dealership last week and was hugely impressed with the rock sliders you guys built for those trucks. My 5'2" wife with a bad knee has trouble climbing up into the D5 even when it is in access mode, I think I could sell her on the "side steps" to...

I did a 600 mile day in my D90 a couple of weeks ago, it took over thirteen hours of driving, but I could still walk after we got home.
