    I've always wanted a MK III - I think there'd be nothing cooler than wheeling the piss out of it, because you can get one for cheaper than a Wrangler now.

    So Ntan, will the Compomotives fit on the 2010+ MK IIIs?
    The Compmotives will not fit over the SC brakes, but not sure about the regular HSE. If the HSE uses the same brakes as the 2010 LR4s, then they should fit if they offer them in the HSE hub pattern. If you're going for something for moderate wheeling, I'd recommend going for a pre-10 so that you have the option to fit 18" rims.

    Lol, I think you need to take that with a grain of salt. I heard him mutter something similar about Yoko once, around the time she made him buy an air conditioner for their tent :-)

    Thanks for sharing Eric! I'm really looking at a 2010 for a RR, or probably go with an LR4.

    This sounds more like the result of someone who has everthing serviced by the dealer at $140/hr to include having their tire pressure checked.
