wooooah ! 20k is 20k but how many months have they been in use? That's kind of bad. My old BFG ko version 1 never had anything like that. Today I did a test fit of 2 sizes for kicks.... BFG KO2 275/70-18 on factory 8x18 ET 53, no spacer. Tucks in just enough sitting on front bump...

Probably the driver.... ;) My 2007RRSC felt wonderfully solid and predictable as did the 2014 RRSC I had for a week recently. The LR4 is definitely less precise in it's sway and cornering. My first guess, to be serious, is tire air pressure. Yes, something that simple can completely...

All 4. While it's normal for people to put in new pads and/or wear sensors during any brake job, the only parts required are the 4 rotors and the 4 caliper carriers. The V6 model has identical part numbers for the pads, calipers and wear sensors. The trick is not the brake swap, it's sourcing...

Are you talking about the KO "2" and not the previous version? What vehicle is the tire on now? What model Jeep and what year Montero? I ask because what do those weigh? I'll bet you it's a lot less than the LR3.... To add on that line of thinking, what width tires are you using? A...

I live in Seattle, it rains all winter, for real, ALL winter. Never had any moment of concern on the KO2 here, never.

ko2 in 265/65x18 is the better size. E load range is still better than D even if you don't load up 100% ever. Better is better. It's not like you bought a light suv, this is one of the heavier out there so that's why it clearly jumps in to E range so easily. Do NOT air them up to 80 psi...

Funny, I usually only rely on information from EP because too many people on the rover specific forums are either cheap, too swayed by marketing, or just don't have any long term experience worth listening to. EP seems to have a much wider range of people from around the world who are exposed...

Drop test!!!!! and max height test if you have the ability.

Someone should get a NAS 2016 RR TDV6, swap the brakes for smaller euro size that allows the 17", then put on some BFG KM2 in 33". A few aluminum belly pans, hidden winch, custom aluminum rear tire carrier, & few other bits like a hard clam shell roof tent.. The fuel range on that engine would...

Ok, I now understand how it would be more complicated. I'm used to customizing things like that now so it sounds doable but obviously not straight forward either. For example, an aluminum spacer could be cut to fit under the plastic trim strip. Next time I have the 2014 RRSC loaner I'm going...

G is basically at the top in my opinion. At some point I'll most likely have a G63 or the new turbo 4.0 in the 2016 G550 but it will likely be after 4-5 years depreciation. You might still have some concerns in the few fancy electronic bits but the body, frame, chassis, suspension will...

If there are still 6 mount holes in the roof (with the little hinged covers) for the factory rack, then almost anything can be put on top. Most likely you just didn't find anything with a direct mount kit. For example, when the LR3 was new, there was no cool kit to mount it directly but I just...

I'd read one of the build threads in the Sprinter van section. There are several different materials to get the most for your purpose and it's not as simple as just the well known Dynamat. One person in a Tacoma thread used two layers of different materials. It would be worth some reading.

Amen! :beer:

Eh? Most can fit the RR. Your post doesn't sound like you have actual first hand information.... it's so simple I cannot understand how you got to that conclusion. My Hannibal would fit no problem. Front Runner, Safety Devices, all will go on the RR including any Thule or Yakima towers and...

I know the more complex kits can be fun for observing levels and such but having not known any better many years ago, I had a very simple "Wrangler" dual battery kit put in my first rover that I bought from Atlantic British. It worked as needed all the time, so I did it again in the 2004 D2 and...

So, do you think there is a reason why the one in your 2nd slot is fine but the primary didn't stay 100% ? I think I'm going to have a tech look into my charging system and see if the dual battery set up somehow is "better" for the aux that is different from how the primary is charged. I will...

I've read a number of threads in different forums and not yet heard of that one let alone it being "THE" battery for the lr3.... do you have any links to support this idea? The most I've heard raved about are Deka and Odyssey. The Platinum series Diehard are made by Odyssey apparently. I...

With those parameters, why the rover in the first place when you already have the 4x4 side very well covered? The Range Rover for sure if it must be a rover, but there are other ideas that come to mind like some of the fun wagons out there, especially in the used market which opens up model...

True, comparing with the lx570, a RRSC does feel more light and nimble, but in truth it may not be all that different. I find that the seating position in the RR contributes to how it seems smaller even though it isn't so much bumper to bumper. If you said interior cargo volume was a...
