I of course will always have the llams in but i don't always default to using it all the time during all situations. Here's why:
It provides on the fly over-ride control as +20 or +25 (i can't recall), then +50mm, or -20. On a gravel road with the usual pot holes etc, the +20 is perfect to...
Pretty much have the strut spacers and ride height settings dialed in now. Used “tight tolerances” mode to adjust each corner to be at exactly factory plus 50mm hub center to fender. DIY shorter rods are good length,
(I forget but close to 10 mm shorter I think)
Nice outing yesterday :
Big...
You could simply use factory parts from one of the usual suppliers. I have heard some people not have the best results with Arnott though I'm not sure under what conditions.
FYI I replaced all 8 control arms and all other suspension parts last year myself. There is an important part that does...
I have the front ones on and have not found the necessary key part to complete a rear combination. I do not wish to take apart the original strut just to retrieve the missing part. This has been a big annoyance to be honest.
OMG that photo of the transfer box gears..... those flattened ones used to be actual teeth? What the hell causes that?!
Regarding the ABS, is your plan similar to or the same as what Falconworks has to replace that shuttle thingy and permanently fix the 3 amigos issue while retaining all...
Glad to hear you got the compos. It's the "right" thing to do on the lr4 - no question. What many people don't consider is how spacers, even just the 1"/25mm pushes the tire so far out you lose a ton of clearance that you'd rather save for a taller tire. The compos have only a centimeter or...
That size is crap. Had it first many yrs ago. Best size period on 18” wheels is 265/65-18. You don’t gain anything useful on the 285/60 but you do get tighter clearances which is not what anyone wants.
The more square section ratio of the 265/65 also provides noticeably more stable high speed...
Never stranded in my D1, DII, or LR3 either but “Eat brakes”? No, your driving does, but the lr3 doesn’t. I’m on just the 3rd set in 2017 at 135,000 so it’s you, not the vehicle. I’m tired of hearing this type of nonsense from people on auto forums.
LOL Try researching the model changes even as easily as on wiki and you’d find its retarded to include the Disco II with the later models. The only thing the same is the brand name.
The answer to the post is D2-yes, lr3/4 not even close, no. Yes, AM an current models expert in these having...
I’d rather have all that stuff tucked away than use it up w easy to manage water carrying. I usually have 4 gallons in two rotopax containers behind passenger seat. They just fit there sideways like it was meant to be.
They will both fit in standard bumper mounted Jerry canholders too. water...
Mine have been out for many yrs. I never got around to building a hard floor surface but all
Of this is under the rubber cargo mat from back of 2bd row seats to rear tailgate edge. Rubber mat sits at same level flush with sides. All items are below that original floor level an under the mat...
You have, in fact, lost 1/2” of suspension extension by setting the height there. Rolling the fire roads is one thing, no big deal, but theres no need for that all the time.
You can save the setting and just go to its +12.5mm when needed, which is never (lol)
If taking the time to drop tire...
I’d have already tried it if an easy 16 were available but the center bore is why we can’t just test a Disco II wheel. Bore too small i think or not big enough for assorted, I can’t recall.
If only there were an early eurospec v6 16 to try.
Why would you want to or need to roll 1/2” higher all the time? You loose ideal suspension travel by doing so but to gain nothing except looks. Are we missing a more purposeful reason?
What size tire are you trying to use?
How is there no down travel? This is not like when people overuse rods to stretch out the struts. The guys above are using taller steel springs and damper kits and last post was guy asking about spacers on top. I think he’d still have pretty much all the down travel the strut has built in but...
Lol give it time...you were warned.
For other people considering a new tire, IMO, it’s a simple matter of fact that using non E load off road is just a matter of time for failure to occur.
Also keep in mind it’s not a good idea to run non E tires too low on psi. There are multiple benefits...
