LR3 vs LR4 spindle:

Looks like I am eating my words partially. After reviewing the caliper bracket pictures, looks like you'd have to do a front spindle swap. Not particularly difficult or expensive, given the cost of crashed LR3s and that the frames are identical. But with a spindle swap, I don't see why you...

You're dead on about everything. The LR3 is great, but if you can get an LR4 with the timing chain stuff already done, you could always just swap on LR3 front brakes. Not like the LR3/4 weigh any different. If I can't swing a defender in the next year, that's likely what I'll do as well.

^ lol, like this. I run 18" duratracs that aren't E-rated and I run them HARD. I've been 100+ miles from any civilization and never had any issue ever. 75k miles of experience including hundreds and hundreds of off-road miles in alaska, 5 trips to moab, two to SW Colorado... I have no idea how...

Have you adjusted it? Like the others said, that cured my issues.

Right, and its nearly 2020 and they don't even have a concept car... Like you said, we shall see. No reason for anyone to wish them anything but the best.

So at best they have two years to develop and release a car to be on schedule? Color me even less optimistic than for the "cybertruck" lol No hate for INEOS but this does not seem even remotely realistic. Hopefully I'm wrong, not that it could ever enter the US market.

If you're buying new it is likely only 2nd to buying a wrangler. If you're buying used... Toyotas are a terrible deal here. I have a friend who recently sold his '99 Tacoma with 200k miles for NINE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. The PNW is insanity for Toyotas. There's a reason they ended up...

Excellent post. And good for you. One thing people don't realize is that the the resale on Toyotas is so insane in the PNW that I could buy THREE LR3s for the price of the same year/mileage T4R. For me, my experience has been that the cost/performance of the modern rover works the best for me...

I wonder if the KO2 is significantly different in real size. I've checked mine on bump stops (EAS full deflate) to verify fitment.

I have an SE. I have clearance for chains (tested). My spare tire also fits just fine. I run a 265/65/18, which not only has been plenty large for anything I've been able to find, but the 'limited selection' of tires included BFG KO2, Duratrac, Falken Wildpeak, Cooper Discoverer AT3, General...

Skip the studs dude. I understand you're not the average idiot cutting ruts into i-90 driving on studded chinese $30 tires year round, but like others have stated the performance of non-studded tires is has been so insanely good lately that it's no longer necessary. I couldn't believe how hard I...

Installing tires isn't a headache. My EAS is stock. I don't have a winch. I haven't broken down. The Horse is dead.

IF YOU'RE NOT FIRST YOU'RE LAST IF YOUR CAR COMPROMISES ANYTHING WHICH COULD AFFECT HARDCORE 4X4 PARK OBSTACLES, ITS POINTLESS All or nothing boys. You know, four door rubicons are soft-roaders because they sacrificed wheelbase for (gasp) seats

IF YOU AREN'T ON THE RUBICON, YOU ARE A DOMESTICATED MALL CRAWLER. PROOF:

Independent adjustable-height air suspension with Magneride is a seriously amazing (on paper) solution. I can't wait to try it. I don't think LR is offering any adaptive damping...

New Tahoe/Suburban are announced today... It has independent suspension. It has optional air suspension. Magneride adaptive damping too! IS THE WORLD ENDING? Nope, just progressing. :D Now the Z71 tahoe is on my list...

Agreed on all points, especially this one. And while you may not agree with the direction they took, it's the one I wanted, so they've got at least one customer in mind. :)

What blows me away is that people are still arguing over ... opinions. You're allowed to think the Defender is great... or not. I've tried to have a rational, technical discussion about the choices made for the Defender in this and the last several threads. I personally think the modern rover...

I've been down this trail. In my lifted, rock-rail equipped, manual locker Xterra. And my buddy who was in his fully locked LC80 invited a friend in his wife's bone stock LR3. I was blown away and that's when I started thinking about an LR3. Yet here we are thinking that a *newer* LR with...
