I do not think the studs will pass through or the lug nuts will fit those rims. Disco stuff is pretty stout. Options are pretty limited for Disco II's, there was a steel wheel option but it is very rare, the UK would be your best be to find a set. I found a few by search Discovery II 16 x7...

They stop fine ,but the brakes for some reason are a ********** to bleed. If you do not get it right you get a mushy pedal, mind getting on a hill and engaging hill descent seems to firm things right up. In mine at least

U-joint failures take out transmissions so no that one is not worth it. The thing is the newest one you will get is 16 years old, it is going to need work. I have one and I like it, it is easy to work on and runs well. But I have done head gaskets, not hard just takes some time, and...

Very nice

@trae is it long enough to be a grab strap, to aid getting into the tent ? That is what that strap is used for on the Smittybilt https://www.4wheelparts.com/sku/Smittybilt/standard/2783.pdf

@trae it is weird there is no notes on that then , stuff is usually red for a reason

red strap might be for strapping down the ladder

No that is a lot more complicated, and varies from province to province. You will need a hunting license - costs more for non citizens You may require a guide And there is considerably more paper work involved As well we have very different rules as far as in vehicle storage goes - not terrible...

Your Border experience was the result of some people from the US "going" to Alaska who decided to tour BC on the way. Banff is not on the way nor is Jasper. There were not a lot but enough that border guards got more fussy about who got to cross. Glad you got through and to you destination...

@plh Nice to see one manufacturer clearing stating things and 220 is great. Is that a gutter mount system or actual roof rack ?

@plh that is great I wish the rest of them would - of course dynamic is the most important but still the static would be nice to know. I sent a lot of time and emails trying to figure those numbers for a Discovery II with gutter mounts.

@plh Jeep does not specify in the owners manual (no surprise almost no manual does), in those cases it is assumed to be Dynamic as that is always lower than Static. Dynamic loading affects vehicle handling as it changes the Center of Gravity and as a result is a lower number. @G jeep...

@plh I am assuming you have seen this happen from overloading or just improper installation. 155 vs 150lbs literally insignificant assuming everything is in good repair, and the tent is correctly installed. If he was going with a 200lb tent that could be an issue

Good luck, I had the same issue on my Discovery , it is info that is very hard to find for some reason. One site I found for your vehicle says 150 from the 2017 owners manual, that would be dynamic. I would think you would be fine, as you are are only a few lbs over. Static is harder to guess...

What can I say hockey sticks are pretty much adhoc multi-tools. But I find the back side, that is easy to get to, tends tuck well on the fold. The front does not, I have some ideas but none them will really speed things up, just might make the zipper part easier.

I have an Ayer so smaller tent and it takes about 5 to 6 minutes but I take my time. Getting the front facing bits in place is the challenge, I found a hockey stick works great for that. I can use the stick to tuck the tent in place, and protect the fabric while I pull the zipper. Mine in on...

Saw a lot of deer this last weekend, and they know it is not hunting season, this fellow barely stopped grazing as our convoy of 7 LR's went by

June 15/2020 in BC at 6000ft in the Placer Mtn region.

Almost any can in the heat may need be vented, even a steel one. Usually I find once a trip with the no vent cans I use, I just vent when I stop at the end 1st day, then close it up. No particular reason why it is a bad idea, while gas fumes are bad in a fully enclosed space, you have a vent...

In BC at least if they are actively logging the VHF channel is posted, I believe is required by law, no CB up here. Our problem is that it is a whole different license to broadcast on those channels. Most folks just have a hand held, that is modded and transmit their KM. If the trucks hear...
