The problem is the tire shape on that specific model. My 275/65x18 BFG KO2 fit just fine without spacers on factory wheels. It's close, but it doesn't rub at full drop/extension, which by the way is the tightest moment at the upper A arm. This occurs when off road and the wheel needs to...

In my experience, the rack actually makes a pretty big difference above 60/70, and very much so if in areas where the speed limit is 70 and you want to run 80. All of it ads up of course like the weight and tire tread design but I'd driven across the US NC-WA 3 round trips with and without the...

I'd love a current model twin turbo G550 in about 15-20 years ;)

A. if the photo is your lr3, why are you using Range Rover wheels? I have 19" and those look like the ca. 2003-2007 Range Rover 19" design, not the lr3 design. If yopu bought the lr3 used, you wouldn't have known. B. There has never been a "6" spoke lr3 wheel. C. EBAY has actual factory lr3...

Not so fast. While the in-between paints like gray, silver, and similar metallic earth tones may have that quality, black, when either shiny waxed or especially dirtied, shows the body shapes even better than white. White does of course show off the window cuts the best though.

I don't think actual relocation is needed. Simply cut off flush underneath just like the non-AMG versions and next generation 550 models.

Sounds great. Get it dirty and/or full of travel gear and post photos from somewhere fun :) By slight "lift" I hope you mean just from larger tires. Any full time suspension lift is a perfect way to ruin how nice the RR handles. If you want to have more lift when desired off road, just...

I'm your source for unsolicited advice and abuse ;) I recall roughly $600-$700 depending on exchange rate, which right now is very favorable for USD-AUD. Upon further research, it was $600 AUD in 2013. Could be different now but an AUD dollar is currently only .72 USD

The obvious solution was a commuter car.... so with 150mm legs, you still can't leave anything on the rac...why bother having the rack, sort of. Time for work day car ;) I hear VW tdi get great mileage but the current market is interesting...

...you need the LLAMS.... and remove those stupid rods.

Well, have you tried the Land Rover 20" ??? There are not many aftermarket wheels that are both proper Land Rover fit and suitable for off road. While the brakes may be different from the previous generation, they may still allow the 20" factory wheels. Several years ago you'd still be out...

Good grief. Well, those should wear such that you don't have to think about tires again for 50,000 miles or more.

If your lr3 has tpms, it's not a bad thing to get a warning if one is going low from a puncture. Just looked, they're easy to see, especially the rear ones, even the wire running to them.

True, not much point unless you see yourself in a newer lr3 later. Regardless, they do represent a $400 value new, ~ $200 used. Did you go check the fender liner as I described it? I can take a photo of mine today for comparison if you like.

Do you have a thread to discuss the plan and results? I did a test fit of both 305/60x18 and 275/70x18 and found both to be seriously problematic in articulation and turning. Even if you were to cut more fender liner it wouldn't be enough, the actual outer fender edge will have to be...

What he said ;) It's usually good to create an ongoing relationship with a tire shop.

Technically they are too big even with the normal extensive mods due to how they would fit into the fender liner under full articulation or EAS failure. Spacers only make it worse so forget that and the "lift" people talk about is bull ****. It's just faking the system into doing what it can...

My mistake and yours is that some earlier models don't even have the tpms system. There's one easy way to find out visually and that is to inspect the rear fender liners toward the rear ("3-o'clock if looking at the left rear ). In the fender liner will be a few closely spaced screws or...

Sure it would, just not fully vented upwards but the G sunroof slides open into the roof structure without lifting up. Not sure about each year but one of my vehicles allows manual degree of tilt-up height whereas others automatically try to tilt 100% of their potential "vent" angle.

I'm kind of pissed off on your behalf. YOU paid $ for the trade? Why, when they are the ones who got the "upgrade" as it would be considered by most industry standards? Simi, if it was a Land Rover dealer, especially if one where you bought the vehicle, you really need to go back and explain...
