    5 set Disco II 18x8 Hurricane, with the sweet Michelin XPC tires? Make an offer

    I have since new a set of Disco 2 I think "Hurricane" 18x8 with oldish but deep tread Michelin xpc 4x4 tires, the spare is an odd model but same size. Will try to get photos up Sunday. 255/55x18 tire size. These came standard on the Disco II. Cary, NC, make an offer, no slow or fast leaks.

    LR3 19" wheels, tires, and tpms, 4 factory take-off from 07 lr3

    Hardly used, maybe 500 miles, though from 2007, stored since. No leaks, no nonsense. Cary NC but willing to help with transport if needed. $1000 seems like a great deal in my opinion so that is the floor and will sell to first buyer.

    Idiotic to try 20"x9 ET 30 with 33x12.5 Yokohama MTr's on an LR4 ?

    How many "you're retarded" posts can I get for someone (not me) who insists they want to go through the trouble of modifying an LR4 to fit 12.5" wide MT's on 20's while retaining full trail articulation? Am I the one who's wrong? It sure seems 100% counterproductive to be dead set on 20"...

    for 70 yr old mom: 04 D2 vs LR3 vs Subaru Outback H6 vs Toyota ?

    Considering what to replace mom's 1996 Disco with. 1st: What does she like about the 96 and why change now? Bad: It's getting on in miles, has growing rust and more frequency of annoying troubles like now AC doesn't work somewhere between compressor and head unit. Electrical gremlins more...

    LR3 tongue weight for motorbike on hitch rack?

    I realize there is a spec tongue weight but I am wondering how much you can "safely" or realistically have on the stock hitch block. The idea is a 370lb Ducati plus the weight of it's rack/mount system, which itself needs to be strong enough to handle the bike weight over highway speeds on...

    LR4 - NYC auto show people? need photos

    Anyone on this forum go to the nyc show or know someone who is going so we could get some photos of the front suspension parts, namely the ones that have failed on a few lr3's recently? The press release I've read mentions "new suspension components" it also talks about limiting the current...

    Chains on 31.5" tires & side slope traction

    my RUD chains should be here today. I'm going to test fit them to see what sort of range of movement I have due to the known clearance tight spots. A little steel cutting should solve the worst ones and the places I will most likely use the chains won't have huge articulation anyway. I forgot...

    DIY mods for D1

    So, I've decided to let the D1 play more from now on, not having to depend on it all the time for work travel which has brought it past 200k miles this summer. The enging is very smooth and strong and under the hood is well maintained and has had many things replaced over the years including...

    Fender cutting to allow taller tires

    Please pardon if this seems silly: So, my experience this winter and in past times in the D1 was that the clearance underneath is one of the biggest limitations on the LR3. At least one that is not readily changed without some in depth planning and permanent mods. Even with installing shorter...
