I get 9-11 towing 4500lbs @60-80MPH. I betcha I would be a lot better going 45 on dirt or 5-10 "offroad". WIth the trailer, I would be looking to get away from crowds, then park it. If I wanted to do more than that I would have something like a Boreas.

That seems valid @oregontrd

Does anyone know of a good independant Land Rover Service shop near Tampa/Lakeland FL?

I replaced mine as well. I really was just trying to give a frame of reference. You are right about the weight. The original question is confusing though. I never take my vehicle offroad. I do take it off pavement though and won't hesitate taking the camper with. I wonder what...

It is a result of the frame going up, not the axles. This moves the radius arms and trailiing arms up and at a steeper angle unless they are also lengthened.

I have yet to determine actual weight of my Micro Minnie FLX 2108FBS. GVR is 5500. I towed about 800 miles last summer, big one was Montana to Colorado. Had it up into summit county as well and have no problems maintaining speed or temp on mountain grades. Frankly... I was suprised at how...

"It's just the nature of the fact that when the axles move up or down, they move in an arch." From my experience the only thing moving an axle up or down is the size of your tire. When I lifted my D1s, I never kept the stock driveshafts, radius arms, trailing links track rod or pan hard...

I can't wait to get a L405!

No comparison. 92 has BW xfer case and is up to driver ability to determine its ability off road. New Defender will drive itself. Thing is a 92 with 235/85R16 OME lift and no sway bars would likely get more places without damaging vehicle.

Yes. Only what I have heard. In collisions if unibodt is damaged. It can be totaled very quickly.

Most options possible. Most horse power possible. The only option I would question on a newer LR is rear entertainment and rear AC.

No comparison. Comparison is old D90 vs new jeep. Old D90 hands down. D1 for that matter. But, I would not be caught dead in a new jeep. Do the new ones still use nylon webbing to limit the doors from opening too far?

I think so, you can Google the first line of my original post and go right to the website.

Here are a couple of pics. I did not realize that it has faded until I took out of the clean garbage bag I had it stored in. It is not a spill, that is for sure. It is on the left side looking at it. Oddly the pictures make the fade look worse than it is. With human eye it is not that...

I will post a couple in a few minutes...
