esa31.9t: 275/65r18 is 32.1x10.7" and rolls on bumps. Make sure you relo the left-front ride height sensor wire to top of frame rail. If you have rear HVAC, then you might need to flatten out the right-rear body, seam, wheel liner and relo the heater hose. Yes, deflated spare will fit - dish...

Over the past 10 years, I have done almost everything mentioned so far and electronic parking brake ($1000) and Rear Drive shaft ($340). Unfortunately do keep maintenance records and know to well that I have spent more on total maintenance than the original purchase price ($23.5K - Purchased...

I love 5 spoke wheels! It was a tough choice for me. There is a also a BMW 17" X5 split spoke rim that looks a lot the OEM LR 17" wheel. Thats what I am going with. :-D

I have seen this truck in person and its traction to climb is amazing!

Thanks! Trial is steeper that appears - you get a better feel towards the end. EAS was probably +50mm. I run lower even offroad these day and only use offroad mode when needed. Lucky8 2" shock tower extension are on my short todo list (just behind never ending maintenance).

RE: Lockers ... I uniquely have 9 years LR3 experience without locker and 3 years in the same truck with ARB rear locker. With and without I was able to go everywhere my friends' OEM rear locker LR3s could. Without the locker, there was LOTS more 1/8 rotation wheel-slips. Like seen in this...

When are we all going to just call it Defender 2. It will certainly not be a 30 year body style, and before we know it there will be a Defender 3. Had LR marketed it as "Defender ii", maybe would have gone over better with the traditionalist. Just like "series ii" and "Discovery 2,3, and 4".

Maybe because it looks lot like a $35k SUV. Even the names (Explorer/Discovery) are similar.

Agreed winch>locker - I have both. Even with both, I dont go out alone! More fun (and safe) with friends ?

I love my ARB locker - thats always an alternative. I agree with Ray that either way its probably not that important. The rear locker doesnt make it go anywhere that it couldnt already. It just gets there with less drama and wear-n-tear.

I didn't realize the LR4 door panels are so much more comfortable. I wonder if they would fit/color match to LR3 easily:

Let me know if you ever want to sell the "White LR3"!! (its mini-me)

Good news indeed.

I have always loved the looks of RRS over the LR3. other offroad positives: supercharger to help turn bigger tires, shorter wheelbase, automatic sway-bars 'disconnect'.

The original was missing Disco3 / LR3 so i fixed it: Original Image (author unknown):

TO BE CLEAR: 17" wheels would "likely" only fit LR3/4 with V6 brakes. The calipers are the same as the V8, but need new hangers and rotors. refence parts: V6 Front Brake Caliper Carrier Part# SEH500010 V6 Rear Brake Caliper Carrier Part# SXP500013X and V6 rotors (and new pads same as v8)...

Ill be there Sat for the morning ride...Looking forward to my 1st RAW! Safe (and reliable) travels everyone. I had this happen this week - Luckily in my garage and not on the trail! Everyone knows true Rovers leak ;-)

GAP is always a good suggestions. This is close to home for me and I have always wanted to go...Ill try my best to be there. My neighbor has a stock LR3, Are there any easy-enough trails for that?

Looks like a nice improvement to approach angle too. Just curious, how does the cost of custom compare to something off-the-shelf?

I ran the ground to the same chassis stud that the battery grounds too. Its a ********** to get to, but the correct thing to do. Both of my +&- wires run around the top of the engine compartment and fit though the far passenger side seam between the lid base. I didnt have to cut anything to get to...
