    Showoff Your LR4

    Definitely need some new rubber on there! As far as the front tow hook, just remove the plastic cover full time. That's what I did.

    I need the specs for the 18" Compomotive PD1880

    You should really just read this thread: http://www.landroverworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=24788 It's been asked a million times.

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    If I were back in the US on that type of terrain, I would go with 265/65. I am here in the Middle East on soft sand when offroad. That is why I went with the 285/60s. It is all about your footprint for "floating" on sand. I also have to air down to about 18psi.

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    As the guys said, it is NOT an insignificant difference in size!! It is just a shade over 1" larger than the 285/60s. This is a diameter issue and you are going to have significant rubbing on the framehorns turning lock to lock. Also, as Umberto pointed out, you will struggle to get it fitted in...

    Load Space Protectors

    Yea, I really have to give it to LR; They made this thing as durable as it gets! Sure you can find cheaper alternatives from the 3rd party manufacturers on the net, but not all mats are designed equal!! The LR mat is very very thick and heavy. A quality product that I highly recommend.

    LR4 vs RRS offroad

    Yea, that is not really a valid argument because you could simply do the exact same thing to the LR4 for lift. The starting point in the RRS is always going to be lower though. The lack of aftermarket off-road gear with the RRS is reason enough for me to stay away.

    LR4 vs RRS offroad

    I always knew the two were on the same platform, but isn't the ride height also lower on the RRS? You compromise ground clearance for more on-road performance in the RRS. That was always what I was led to believe. (On top of what you already pointed out.)

    IID Tool puchase

    Funny, my '13 came with digital speedo and global window open / close with remote from the dealer. I have really only used my IIDTool to disable TPMS and store EAS presets.

    Umberto beat me to it.

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    It is common advice NOT to run the stock spare with the oversized off-road tires. You end up with quite a bit of a rolling difference (diameter) and this will cause increased wear on the diff, if not outright damage at highway speed. 255/55R19 is 30.04 inches (stock) 285/60R18 is 31.46 inches

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    You absolutely do NOT need to do all of that work to accommodate 285/60R18 tires! They are actually just slightly smaller diameter than 265/65R18 (by a mere 0.1 inch). You do not need to run rods or a lift whatsoever. I do not have any rubbing on the plastic from the increased width either...

    I love how that roof rack looks like it clears your garage door by millimeters! haha!

    Brake swap with LR3?

    I can't help but think by the time you have put together parts (if its compatible) for a full set of LR3 brakes, you'd be into a sizable amount of the cost of Compomotives. Why downgrade brakes? I don't think I have heard of anyone approaching wheel / tire options from this angle.

    2015 Issues anyone else?

    I have custom ordered quite a few BMWs over the years and if the practice is the same, it is a complete crapshoot on when you get a VIN. Typically you are assigned a production slot, and that date is dependant on how backed up they are on orders. You can get your production slot assigned and up...

    Buy new TPMS for 18" Compos or just disable with IIDTool?

    The only reason sensors are in the truck in the first place is because of DOT laws nowadays. If you can't tell you have a flat on big 18" tires, I don't know what to tell you. There's just no way I would pay out that crazy money for new sensors. IID Tool disabled was the way to go for me. Added...

    CEL: Barometric Pressure Sensor

    Never been a fan of K&N. Sure, they allow more airflow simply because the are more porous. They just allow more shit into the engine. Just no way I would run one here in the desert or any offroad conditions.

    IIDTool EAS max value

    You are correct. Each car has it's own limits, with the max theoretical being 50mm. There is a write up that came with my IID Tool to get your value. I know mine is 47mm. It's been well over a year since I did the procedure, so my memory is vague. As I said though, you should have it in the...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    2nd that on wait for the KO2. 265/65/18 are released next month and it's the first update to that tire in decades! Well worth the wait. Also, as said already.. the only time you would rub is if you were really turning lock to lock in access height. This would only be tire tread rubbing on the...

    My 2013 doesn't have Rear Seat Entertainment and it still has a DVD player up front.
