    Jeep jk unlimited with a 2 inch OME lift

    Looks like what i am looking for with my 2017 Willys JKU. What other adjustments did you have to make? Shocks? Any driveline issues? Thanks, Dave

    What shocks are you guys running on your Classics?

    On my 87 RRC I ran bilstein yellow and blue, front, rear and damper, with OME medium duty springs. Shocks kept the ride somewhat complaint, while the springs gave a lift and tighter control/cornering. Will probably do the same in my 04 D2 when time comes. Dave

    1st time Discovery owner, have a few questions

    Congrats on the DII. come on over to Land Rover Forums. There have been some successful resolutions to the tick. http://landroverforums.com/forum/discovery-ii-18/ Mine went away after I fixed a persistent timing cover leak (including water pump seal, crank seal, etc). The leak was most likely...

    1991 RRC vs 1995 Disco

    I'd fix the RRC, or buy the Disco and swap to the RRC as suggested. I miss, and regret selling, my 87 RRC - and always will. Then again, I am partial to the 87-89 vintage. Dave

    Disco1 or 2?

    Get an 87 or 88 Range Rover Classic and never look back. Had an 87 RRC, 00 DII and, currently, an 04 DII. Looking for that early RRC to make my day again. Good luck. Dave

    Suspension Question

    04 SE7s had a coil/shock option - mine is that. I am considering adjustable shocks in the rear, but may settle for OME mediums. Right now the cheapest potential solution is getting jerry can holders for the front of the rack for better weight distribution, and a big pelican case for spares...

    Whats The Deal With Rover Racks?

    I don't know...maybe the LR4, you think? It just got Petersen's 4Wheel & Off-Road 2011 4x4 of the year. People do actually use new land rovers off-road. If you are familiar with Rover Racks' inventory, there's a rack for that. Hope that answers your question.

    Whats The Deal With Rover Racks?

    Got a custom voyager rack from them this summer, and while it was a little later than expected, the quality is great and it looks good too. Had it shipped to the local dealership and they thought is was good quality. I have seen a number of new ones in my area. When I spoke with them back in...

    Suspension Question

    Have an 04 Disco SE7 with a Rover Racks roof rack and when I load a couple of jerry cans on top and food, tools, etc in the back, through in a couple of people, the back end sags. Don't want an major lift or anything, but do plan on adding some underbody protection in the future. Any ideas on a...

    Next-Generation Defender

    Agrale Marrua I still like this as the affordable, mil spec, capable truck. Don't know much about them, but would be interested in hearing what people know. http://www.defesanet.com.br/imagens/defesanet/afv/marrua/marrua_agrale.jpg...

    Next-Generation Defender

    I WAS asked my opinion by Land Rover, back in 2001/2002, when I had my 87 Range Rover with mods, and a 2000 DII. There were a couple of us that actually used Rovers offroad and the rest were soccer moms, Silicon Valley execs, etc. They had concepts of the Range Rover Sport and LR3/DIII, as well...

    Rack Tie-Down Straps

    Yes, I also ordered the handle bar straps so that I limit the hook/bar contact. The trip will be a 3-generation trip with my son, my Dad and my Aunt. Should be great fun.

    Rack Tie-Down Straps

    Looking for my rack to arrive this month and plan on doing about 5 days in the eastern Sierra in Aug. Will mostly be carrying tents, duffels, jerry cans and, maybe, some firewood up top. Can anyone recommend the proper tie-down straps. Can't imagine I need ratchets, but would love some feedback...

    Tata to build LR in China

    You have this absolutely correct - that is the Land Rover brand, true today or not. What people need to understand is that the US opened our market to foreign manufacturers without demanding that they disclose IP or bring factories to our shores. Pick up a copy of The Economist and understand...

    Tata to build LR in China

    Why go East, or West depending on your orientation, when you can go South... to Brazil for solid axle, coil sprung military spec 4x4s. You get jungle and swamp tested vehicles for which, if timed right, trips for replacement parts become a literal party...
