    LR3/LR4 owners: What height do you set your suspension?

    A-I think they are 50mm. If I’m wrong, I’ll have to redo everything LOL B-no, you have to actually use shortened rods to offset the spacer effect on what the height sensors read. If not, then they find near edge of or out of range too easily which results in fault mania... The goal for now is...

    LR3/LR4 owners: What height do you set your suspension?

    Hmm, not sure I did that. 1-the ride height in ground to body is much higher than factory by the 50mm strut spacer plus any tire size gains in height. 2-The strut itself is right at factory neutral length. Not extended, not compressed. 3-The hub center to fender flare edge is factory plus 50mm...

    Leaking air struts cause suspension fault?

    nobody that i had seen sells the struts WITH dust/mud boots. Yet, there is a "genuine" land rover boot kit for the front as well as what IS delivered on vehicles for the rear. Weird, no lr3/4 have front boots on WHY?? Anyway, they're easy to put on when the strut is fully removed. There...

    LR3/LR4 owners: What height do you set your suspension?

    Wut?! ;) Blaise, you just don't need to be running the struts all the time or on the highway any higher than factory neutral, period. There is also ZERO reason to do so other than thinking it looks cool but when you're driving it, you can't appreciate that so who is there to impress? ;) I'd...

    2010 L322 on 18"s...

    it's possible the hub bore or something small is different on RR 03-05. i can tell you that the rr from 07 on wheels mount perfectly with an lr3 and therefor also an lr4. i had RRsport "stormer" 20's on my lr3 briefly and used a 285/50 tire which just barely fit against the upper control arm...

    LR4 Compomotive Question (Not Tires, I Promise)

    Agreed and basically the conclusion I came to but in less words or very well explained like your post achieved. All those reasons I basically could feel in the handling changing for the worse which is why I don't understand people who just pop on some rods to ride 2.5" higher full time plus...

    LR4 Compomotive Question (Not Tires, I Promise)

    So you have committed a classic forum mistake. You've listed nothing about the vehicle. You only list spacer and lr3 wheel. For all we know you're trying to use it on a range rover, lr3, lr4, rr sport, evoque, discovery sport,....etc. The UK wheel is the best choice. Overland Journal lr4...

    LR4 Compomotive Question (Not Tires, I Promise)

    Hey man, you must know if you stop to consider it, that a spacer is affecting geometry and stresses no different than a wider offset wheel. On BMW's and other cars there are even factory spec wheels, in packages even, that are much wider, and therefor the same result. The main difference here...

    200 Series Newbie Questions

    ^ this. I currently have a 96 Land Rover discovery 1 since 2000, a 2004 Disco II, and an lr3 since 2007. Where the open diff/solid axles often really would’ve benefitted from lockers, the lr3 has its incredible “terrain response” programming which gets you 95% what lockers used to do. The...

    No. Stampede pass is closest access. No connections that I am aware of below Snoqualmie Pass due to gates or no roads.

    200 Series Newbie Questions

    Well, I rode in one and it sucked for space and visibility. It reminded me of being in an H1 Hummer except the H1 is about 50% wider inside LOL Maybe I'm too used to the tall windows with low sill that the Discovery provides and the LR3 mostly retains. I do however think an open top FJ would...

    Project Victory_Overland 08 LR3 Build Thread!

    Honestly, I'd just stick to sourcing LR 17's or get a steel put together by whoever is doing that 18" steel one for the aftermarket resellers.

    Hey guys, I have been using without issue a set of Gorilla nuts several yrs now in black. Also, using ghe bmw style number is what you need to do to be sure you're always referring to correct wheel. I have had 3 BMW cars ;) Check this for easy reference: http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/

    The modern FJ is way too small inside and with terrible visibility out of those tiny windows. To me it's like the antithesis to Land Cruisers new to very old that I've ever seen. The old leaf srpung vehicles had nice big windows and upright seating. I rode in the back of a friends new FJ last...
