Thank you! Maybe I'll make a darn video and start a vlog ;)

Agreed highly on that.

From another forum, I listed my procedure but thought I'd also post it here for others to add any tricks or clarify some aspects for others that come along. I am not asking for opinions on how I do it but if you have a thing you've done that is potentially 'better', please post it. I can do...

As for pestering, bring it on ;) if we all learn something new it’s worth it. I’d like to remind you of the size brakes a G55 has and they fit in 18’s just fine ;) Come to think of it, I still have the aftermarket 18” Porsche replicas, turbo I think is the wheel design model. Looked pretty...

“Downsized” brakes? LOL wrong. They may be smaller rotor size by few mm but they were an upgrade in design and pads. The braking is equal if not better now. Same bite, same feel, etc. Tire traction on pavement at speed is a much bigger limiting factor here. Don’t be tryin to mess w newbies...

Almost everyone who's vehicle is always over 7000 lbs. This is not about if the XL will roll fine or not. This is about why the hell use something inferior when you can simply use a much better choice? Are there not enough variables out of our control to waste time introducing an inferior...

Ideal highway psi is purely relative to vehicle weight. 42 would be a terrible idea under 7000 lbs. 5200 lbs sure, but even a stock Audi has 44 in the door sticker. Psi is not that linear across all combinations of vehicle and tire/wheel sizes. What did you use on your G or van? Surely it...

The weight of a Cayenne is nothing like the lr3, even in stock form. 1600 lbs remaining? LOL that’s when onnperfectly level ground. 2409 load index. You’re following a bad idea for sake of argument I think. I’ve actually seen 8220 on a scale before and that was without a passenger and her gear...

Mine and many other LR3 on trips are over 8000 lbs. XL maxed out at 50psi is morecrosk than I’m willing to try for no good reason. I run 52-54 psi on the highway. XL idea will not be doing so well when at 22 psi and heat starts to build up. Add to that the E sidewall and overall...

In the name of forum data sharing accuracy, that’s s 31.5. 275/65 is 32 My EBC rotors and pads provide what has felt like essentially equal emergency stopping power and limb decent resilience as compared to factory parts/size previously. Using the UK V6/tdi spec size brake rotors and carrier...

Hey, you probably forgot that the 5800 lb stock LR3/4 are really just too heavy to be using a non E load range tire in off-road situations where you’d need that type of tire. You of all people with plenty of experience should already know this ;) Also, all you other people going on about...

JLR owners "fret" in that they cannot often decide if they should pay up for the warranty or not. I've done both as you described, new to old. I did briefly also have a 2006 LC100 which I have pretty much always thought I should've kept. Water under the bridge now though... The 123...mmmm...

Well, this thread took a silly tangent but I think it is sufficient to say that Land Rover owners chat about extended warranties far more often than Toyota owners ;)

Hey, in all seriousness, you may want to chat with your policy holder. There is 0% chance that lowering or removing the deductible can also lower your premium. Zero. Like posted above, have a $1000 claim with no deductible and they cover entire claim. However having $1000 deductible means they...

There is no intention or ability of the strut spacers to “keep the body off the bumpstops”. The spacers simply set that position higher by exactly the 2”. The vehicle will sit on them without air. Every aspect of that will be experienced except for ground clearance and tire to interior fender...

Yes, insurance is a whole other aspect. I'm not sure how removing the deductible reduces an insurance premium though. Usually, the higher the deductible on insurance, the lower the total cost of coverage. Insurance is not to be toyed with though. I have the highest possible coverage for...

because it came up in another forum and my mini rant should give good pause to many folks, not all, but most. I'm going to use this opportunity for a mini-chat on cash flow ;) There are of course many factors that are different for everyone but if you could get coverage to 100k as well as a...

you need to physically modify that plastic section. No amount of raising "fixes" it. When you turn while during any articulation, the tire will still grind into the same spot if strut is compressed on that side. Furthermore, riding around in always lifted mode is not worth the simple fix of...

Wheel bearings and other suspension wear items

"rugged"? Unlikely in that my take is that durability or ruggedness is it's sidewall and carcass strength and resilience to sharp objects. BFG pretty much leads the industry in that aspect. Now if what you mean is the tread design and how aggressive it is, yeah I can see that for sure. It...
