    BFG T/A KO2 in 275/55/20 on LR4

    Thanks! I am pretty happy with them too. Now the snow is melting (and freezing) a bit, I can confirm that the KO2s are not quite as responsive in corners in the snow and ice as are the Duratracs. Having said that, we tiptoe a difficult line where by dedicated winter tyres are the way forwards...

    BFG T/A KO2 in 275/55/20 on LR4

    Look forward to the photos! I find that tapatalk on any mobile device takes the pain out of photo uploading. I’m not quite sure why the full version of the forums makes posting photos so complex. The downside to hosting sites is that sometimes the photos disappear from forums when the person...

    BFG T/A KO2 in 275/55/20 on LR4

    I cant help you with the spacer story, but my RRS rims have an offset of +47 and are 8 1/2" wide. I run 275/55/20 KO2s on an LR3, and there is no rubbing (and no chance of rubbing) on the UCA -- there is about 3/4" of room there -- I doubt the Toyo MTs would take up that much room. Also, the KO2...

    BFG T/A KO2 in 275/55/20 on LR4

    Just to review, I went with the KO2s (a decision led largely by their 31.8" diameter). I ride at the stock height, though the driver’s front tyre brushes occasionally on the front bumper to wheel arch liner mounting screw. I have on the RRS rims which provide the same track as the original rims...

    BFG T/A KO2 in 275/55/20 on LR4

    That is an interesting thought. I am unsure how much extra fuel I will lose from the larger tyres (I am moving from a 30" to a 32"). I didn't think 20mm would make such a difference in the alignment -- some LR3s drop that when over 80mph as a factory setting! I think I will stick with the...

    BFG T/A KO2 in 275/55/20 on LR4

    No apology needed, Steve! Thanks for the info.! Sounds like GAP is the best way to go. I like the idea of the BT connectivity — I have a cheap Chinese OBD reader at the moment; it’s handy for some things (though the Carsoft tool has far more usable features), but is limited in its...

    LR3/4 Rear AC Line relocation

    I’m not actually clear (without photos) where the lines can be moved too. Do they not rub on the liner itself? Anyone have any photos? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LR3/4 Rear AC Line relocation

    These are probably really helpful photos, but Photobucket's current maximum fail is not helping here. Can you post them to this forum directly, so we have a good resource for them? I'd love some photographic assistance, but the original post is gone and Photobucket seems to be withholding photos...

    LR3 owners sound off, which tires?

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread and ramble on a bunch, but I thought I should weigh in with some thoughts and some of my experiences: I have run Duratrac 255/55/19s for 2 years; they have 50,000 miles on them and are about 2/3rds worn (ish). I have occasion to do a lot of miles over every kind...

    BFG T/A KO2 in 275/55/20 on LR4

    I have read your comments on lifts in this thread with interest, JWestPro. As mentioned earlier, I am trying to go for 275/55/20s (though I have gone with LR044848 rims; 20x8.5, +47mm). These rims seem to be a compromise between a slightly wider spread and a slightly wider rim. I currently have...

    Best way to diagnose LR3 airleak

    I replaced the entire spring/shock assembly with genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) from Atlantic British; not the Arnott ones. I could probably strip the valves down -- but apparently Lucky 8 has some for a reasonable price; I might just throw two on. I wondered if there was ever...

    Best way to diagnose LR3 airleak

    I'd like to weigh in and ask for some advice on this also. I have a 2006 LR3 with 156000miles on it. I have replaced all the bags with OEM. After pulling the fuse and disconnecting the battery, I lose about an inch overnight off all corners (roughly equally -- the back right is appears to lose...

    Sweet! Thanks, man. What lift (if any)? I was going to do a 1" electronic lift.

    BFG T/A KO2 in 275/55/20 on LR4

    What rims are these and do you know the offset? I am looking at moving to the Redbourne Bashford -- but the offset there is 32mm (on a 9.5" rim) instead of a 53.2mm for standard....

    Hey guys, I am sorry for bumping this thread up -- but I am just wondering if anyone has tried out a Gordigear tent now there is US distribution?

As indicated in a few posts above, I am moving to Halifax to undertake my PhD -- a Journey of 4500 miles. I shall be towing my house in a trailer all the way and need a good...

    It has had no control arms, and there is no sign of wear on them currently (inspected two weeks ago) The compressor was replaced about 2 years ago. I have a date somewhere. She has never had an alternator, but meter readings show current to be acceptable and within parameters (it was checked...
