    Got wheels! Need tires...

    Yea, he meant 265/65. And yes it sounds like most people don't have any rubbing issues with that size. If you want a stronger sidewall you want an LT tire. That's why I recommended the 275/65/18 in the AT2. The guy who had the AT2's again said they were dead silent on his daily commutes...

    OJ/EP LR4 Tonight on Top Gear USA

    Yea, I joined that forum back in my Jeep days. I am epiccosmo in the Jeep forums because my first JKU was suppose to be Cosmo Blue but when I went to purchase it there was a hail storm that messed it up and I ended up in a White one before I had my Crush Orange. We were talking last night...

    OJ/EP LR4 Tonight on Top Gear USA

    Here is the link to Scott's response to the damage to the truck: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/87155-Overland-Journal-Project-Land-Rover-Discovery-4-(LR4)?p=1601838#post1601838 "Total damage was minimal. Broken compressor mount on the water crossing (just one of the...

    Got wheels! Need tires...

    I would think David meant the 265/65/18 tire and not 255/55/18. Personally I have been looking at the 275/65/18 as it has the LT rating and is 32".

    OJ/EP LR4 Tonight on Top Gear USA

    Agree, it could have also been driver skill or best line. But either way I thought for sure the BDC with the 6.4 would have been up the hill the quickest. TC surely had to play a part and that is where the LR4 shines. The stock FJC sure did better than I thought it would but it was...

    Short roof rails installation cost

    Sent you the PDF. This seems like the lazy profit way out of the situation. But, sure, if it works it works. Not sure why you have a wiggle. I tightened mine down nice and snug and there is very little movement from them. I can grab on them and pull myself up with very little give...

    OJ/EP LR4 Tonight on Top Gear USA

    Well, I wouldn't say they were doing everything in the best way possible but I know that Scott Brady said they were on the set and there for the entire shoot to help in situations so I would have thought they would have coached for best approach. Granted, it was a TV show so it needed to be...

    Short roof rails installation cost

    The instructions tell you to cut the strip. I cut the strip on mine. If you need the instructions I can e-mail them to you in PDF form. Just PM me your e-mail address. Do you have the right hardware for mounting the rails? You should have a spacer/washer that goes between the rail and...

    Got wheels! Need tires...

    I don't know where Bill will be taking you but no one else sliced a tire on the trail but me and I still don't have any idea which rock was the rock I hit to slice a tire. When looking over the line before approaching I didn't remember seeing any rock that worried me about injuring a tire. So...

    OJ/EP LR4 Tonight on Top Gear USA

    I thought the same thing! I have never seen an auto stall on the trails, much less seen an auto stall on the road. I was baffled by this one....

    OJ/EP LR4 Tonight on Top Gear USA

    Lordy, the pounded the snot out of the LR4 and the Brute DC. The one shot going down the hill where the LR4 went airborne and the BDC looked like it was about to roll could have ended badly for both of them. I asked over on Expo how bad the damage was from the show. Waiting to see the...

    Got wheels! Need tires...

    If I still have my LR4 in the future I think I have decided on the Toyo AT2's. Seeing them in person they looked new with 40K miles on them and it was on a guy truck who drives 150 miles a day for work. Said they were amazingly quite on the road/highway. Plus, he didn't slice a tire off-road...

    OJ/EP LR4 Tonight on Top Gear USA

    Eh, I too have kinda given up on it but DVR'd the episode tonight only because they were off-roading. Nothing will ever compare to the original.....

    OJ/EP LR4 Tonight on Top Gear USA

    Not sure how many people frequent the Expedition Portal / Overland Journal forums or even know that they have a pretty built LR4 but supposedly it will be on Top Gear USA tonight on the History Channel. I believe it will air at 9 PM EST. Episode is called "Desert Trailblazers"

    20" RR wheels on 2014 LR4

    This is what I was thinking would have to happen with the wheels being 9.5" wide. Not sure how the other guy has no rubbing.

    20" RR wheels on 2014 LR4

    This guy posted a picture of his LR4 with Range Rover Sport (20x9.5") wheels in the Showoff thread. http://www.landroverworld.org/forums/showpost.php?p=147885&postcount=392 Also posted after this stating that he has no rubbing at all.

    Anyone use a Satellite Phone when in the boonies?

    I definitely think this is a great accessory to add to the emergency kit but I am really looking for a 2nd battery replacement. If I had to choose today I think I would go with the ArkPak but would wire in an Anderson Plug to the back of the vehicle. Granted I am still researching...

    Anyone use a Satellite Phone when in the boonies?

    So I have now started to seriously consider the ArkPak over other equivalents. It is slightly more costly than some of the other systems that are more complete but I think it gives ability for the future if the battery dies. Assuming the battery dies before the electronics. I am mostly...

    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    I too have been interested in this as an option but have not spent too much time on researching it yet as there are other things I need todo first. That said. I have seen some Jags with our engine tuned. So it clearly is an option with the engine. I just worry that the LR has so many more...

    DIY Oil Change for LR4

    This is the older standard. Most high quality oils have a new updated standard and should be no problem.

    Finally!

    Now that I can view the pictures you have clearly wasted no time at setting yours up Dan! Granted, mine has spent as much time at the dealership as it has with me.... :frown: Saw you were shooting with a Sony A7. What lenses do you have? I have been trying to make a decision on some big...
