    New product from Proud Rhino! The SYA Off Road Extension Kit

    Here's my kit Every problem Zelatore had I can confirm. Even the broke mounting stud on one. If I have time and in a better mood I'll give you some addition problems on post. But here is my kit on the floor in garage.

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    gun safe This is a Gun Vault Nano 100. This works for the short trip into a federal building, because at most any other time it should be on your side with an extra magazine. That's a Glock 21C with extra mag. inside. The console was lifted out and it is bolted to the inside back side of console.

    New product from Proud Rhino! The SYA Off Road Extension Kit

    My rear straps are back in the position I originally had them in. This is the same position as zelatore placed his. All I can say is the picture I shared with you is the location which is most obvious and the way I was told they should go from Lucky 8. It does not work. Not only the clearance...

    New product from Proud Rhino! The SYA Off Road Extension Kit

    This is all interesting let's try to get it settled Funny....I had my strap there I was told it was wrong by Lucky 8 This is what they wanted. He sent my pic back with the bolt circled in red and told me to turn the bolt around.

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

    My take Here's my take on the tires, height and safety. Running 285x55x20 TA KO's. I run a rod mod. The mod increases the air in the strut which stiffens the ride slightly which I feel compensates for the 2 1/2 inch lift. As stated I run 20's which are E rated which both make for less...

    Discovery Sport vs. Grand Cherokee Overland vs. 4Runner TRD

    Like my GC also I can speak for the GC. I have a 2014 fully loaded Overland with the Eco diesel. I can appreciate the consistent 22mpg in town, last trip to the coast at 26.7mpg. I pull a fully loaded, with water and 4 cases of wood inside, 25ft travel trailer. Trailer runs my mpg down to 18...

    What mpg are you guys getting?

    26.7 Last tank in town 22.4mpg. Last 300 mile trip with utility trailer in tow 26.7mpg. Sorry I cheated, I have a new WK2 Eco diesel. I'm positive the mileage will drop as the more aggressive tires are added. I'm loving it since my Land Rover LR3 gets a sad 11.6mpg in town and maybe 13 on the...

    Off road lights, what do you have/use?

    Love my LED's I”m an LED fan now. Loved my Hella’s and Piaa’s and Cibie’s in the past. I own both the 20” Rigid and they’re now $664 at 4wheel parts, and a 20” Chinese version off of Amazon, $89 on prime (free shipping arrived in 2 days). Rigid puts out in my opinion and my sons, a better...

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    I'll agree I’ll attest to the ARB bull bar after last weekend. Never thought I would need the protection. I came in to a steep downhill between multiple trees. I had a bad approach angle but thought I could turn before the trees. I went for the turn and the broken down debris under the trees...

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    Rub? If they don't rub there not big enough Rub, yes they did, in all the right places. Heater hoses in passenger rear wheel well have been relocated. Inner rear fender seams were flattened and inner fenders were heated up and flattened. Rover Specialties Sliders had about an inch cut off the...

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    khronus79 Sorry khronus79 ….I run 20’s Hyper Silver Duke’s , I believe they do not manufacture the 18’s anymore. Have your tire store call the factory and see if they have any hanging around. If I remember right, Redbourne is an off shoot of one of the large makers. They run a greater offset...

    Frame cutting Scott you talked about cutting the frame horns. I would like to know if anyone knows the true purpose of those extensions in the beginning. Mack73 and I had a PM conversation about those the other night. I have a 2005 and those pieces bolted on. I wouldn’t worry too much about...

    LR3 roof rack vs rear tire carrier question

    Custom That’s my own custom design. Garage built over 2 week ends with chop saw and small wire feed. Made it with my needs in mind. Drivers side mount to keep the tire out of my window. High lift mount and a 1 ¼" receiver, to rack what ever I choose to make a rack for. I even moved the parking...

    LR3 roof rack vs rear tire carrier question

    Keep it down low It’s all based on your needs. I don’t drive slow and the LR3 has enough body roll so I want to keep the weight low. I’m getting too old to be lifting all that on and off the roof. Been there done that. Rack it on the spare.
