The LR3/4 has much more interior space and it's more functionally usable too.

Thanks for posting the photo. I think such shots of the tire someone is blessing ads a lot to the discussion. I've never been one to penny pinch on tires so good to hear you find those well worth the cost.

Yeah, that Hankook does look interesting.

Yes, I find it pretty entertaining as if some people, like me on occasion, missed a key word in an OP title. "LEAST" being the key word in this one ;) I have used both the BFG AT KO and BFG MT in the winter on my Disco 1 as well as their old "XPC 4x4", the BFG AT KO1 on my Disoc 2, and on my...

You're right, the "polished" hard pack is a much more serious surface situation and I'd have to agree from my experience with this M/S2 and it's cousin, their LTX Winter, more "bite" is very desirable. The LTX Winter looks identical to the M/S 2 but the compound is different specifically made...

I have a few questions about this era AHC: First, what exactly does the "over ride switch" do? It sounds like it lets you either stay in the standard factory provided lift height OR it allows you to go higher than that factory lift mode? Which is it or how does the switch functionn? Second...

The right hinged full door never bothered me on either of my Land Rover Discoveries even though it is on the "wrong" side like you said. While I love having a split tail gate on my LR3, kind of like a Land Cruiser except mine is shaped funny, there are pros and cons between "swing door" vs...

With the STT, what were the main reasons for choosing it over some of the other MT options ? When I put together an MT set for my Land Rover, it'll be the BFG KM2 in 255/80x17 which is 33" but obviously narrow. The Cooper STT doesn't really have an ideal fitting size in 17" and neither of the...

It would be interesting to have a test with the M/S 2 in different widths on different weights of vehicles. I would guess that some people with the poor traction experiences could have had a wider tire and/or on a lighter vehicle, meaning a pick-up with no weight loaded or lighter suv. By...

Driving a stock LR3 or RR is going to be fun but simply not a fair comparison. It would be like driving a fully stock RRS on those original little tires as opposed to yours with the bikes on the back and gear loaded. So, if you like, we could meet sometime and let you drive my LR3 with all the...

I have to disagree...EP opinion threads are the gospel. JK ("Just kidding" for you old folks)

Well, I don't have a G, but I do have a 2004 Land Rover with gutters and a 2007 LR3 with the more modern roof mounted "tracks" with slots. I use the Hannibal racks which come in various sizes and are also aluminum. That Rhino Pioneer looks nice in their website photos but they also appear to...

Yes, that. I figured they did. So who makes the ARB RTT's? This brand looks especially identical to the ARB Simpson II which is the model previous to their current model being sold. My guess is it could be this company due to the identical details I'm seeing. I had a Simpson II, now a III.

Roy, I've weighed in at 8200 on a SOLO trip once ;) So, they actually start out at 5800 "curb wt". It's the full ladder frame plus unibody mish-mash that makes it so heavy but also very solid and stiff. No matter if it's on two wheels diagonally teetering, the doors just gently shut like...

Oh HE LL, I knew there was something missing with mine. How did you get a "Kate" edition ???!!!!

A. $ : If it's at all "about" $, at all, then the ARB is simple and only a few $100's more than you say you'd spend on a used old Defender bumper.... I'll leave the basic math to you ;) B. Aesthetics.... yeah, to each their own. Round tubes as primary shape look a bit goofy on the new...

Yeah, that tread design looks good but as I said above, this is between two tires really seeing as I have them both. Clearly, having choices can sometimes not be a better way to live. For 300,000 miles I just ran the BFG AT KO and never once posted a worry or studied tire websites during that...

Yes, a tread more able to deform, will "wrap" over shapes which equals traction for low range gearing especially and being pliable should help it just move rather than resist and be cut. Obviously lowering air pressure when "off road" could be more important simply for tire health than on the...

I can appreciate that idea but this is a specific comparison between using the BFG vs the Michelin. I saw that Cooper recently, looks like a good choice though.

I ought to post a few shots I guess: BG AT KO2 , ORV park nearby, fully raised Driveway slam "access height", highway cruising is about 2" higher in the front and 1" more rear. These two are on the Michelin M/S 2 fall 2014 out exploring with mom in Eastern WA burned areas. Nothing...
