    Like A Moth To The Flame- My New LR3

    Do both Doc- gives the most options. You bringing yours to Safari? I think I am, and I went very mild 33" Michelin A/T, but plan to run chains for mud/snow/ice off road. Keeps the DD attributes, aka nice quiet and smooth...

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    I went with the same size, 265/70-18, but Michelins, and feel it the perfect size as Scott eluded to many pages back. Gearing is a tad off, but certainly tolerable, and very minimal rubbing anywhere, though each tire manufacturer will vary slightly. Scott- can't recall- are you running or going...

    Tires? Tires? Tires?

    If you are talking D-I, 265/75 or 235/85, both 32" will work with +2", a RRC would do better with a 245/75, about 31", and the D-II can go 285/75 or my favorite, 255/85, either side of 33". BFG are hard to beat for sidewall as they are 3 ply. The tire selection will ultimately make more...

    My restoration to a Disco Trek Discovery

    These wheels were not horrible structurally, just the finish. We sand, acid etch prime, and repaint. This seems to hold best especially if you use the truck off road. The PC will chip, and then becomes a bugger to touch up. It helps that he is running 6 wheels/tires to always have a 'pretty' set...

    Can I do Engineer's Pass/Alpine Loop (Southern Colorado) in my Ram 2500 Crew Cab 4x4?

    I would avoid Black Bear, though I watched a family in a Suburban do it... And just to tease a bit:

    Looking for tall skinny tires

    I ran into the same issue when I had my '11, and went to 17" factory wheel. You can near save the cost of the wheels when buying tires, and as you know, the selection is much better. Or use them for a second set as mentioned above. I actually powder coated them and kept them when I sold the...

    New-to-Me '04 Disco II

    Actually the LR3 wheels will work on a D-II, but the reverse, aka D-II rims on an LR3, will not. Forget the issue- lug nuts I think, but regardless, you cab sell the LR3 18s and easily get your 16s. I have some D-II 16" alloys should you want to trade ;-)

    Fender trimming on a D2

    trim the valance as it could get damaged when rubbed. Leave the steering stops, for as you said- better to have the ability to turn more if needed, and this will do no harm.

    My restoration to a Disco Trek Discovery

    That one was my favorite- still love the Greg Davis rear bumper!! I had it at the dealer some years back, and pulled in behind a G4, parked, and another G4 pulled in behind me- lots of orange in one place!! I would love to get them all back here for a reunion shot... #5 heads to paint today!!
