This depends on what you are wanting.....
You can physically fit quite wide tyres, but they would be outside the tyre makers rim guidelines.
You can also fit shorter wider tyres within spec. e.g. a 205 x 16 is a tyre that has also been standard...
You shouldn't need to do this. Its not as if you have to check for any other road.... If it is on the map as a right of way and there are no sign or barriers, then you should assume it is fine to drive.
You only need to correct caster if you lift. Land Rover products ride quite high in standard trim, lifting can be done, but isn't always needed and can cause other issues aside from caster, such as poor prop angles.
Why did you buy a +4" lifted Disco for road use?
Standard shocks/springs should ride quite well, it should not be harsh or stiff. But you probably won't ever achieve a "floaty" ride, just the wrong sort of vehicle.
I quite like the Flatdog...
No it doesn't. There can't be a car in the history of the motor vehicle that has worn something out by turning the steering wheel and having PAS. What exactly do you think will wear and/or break?? :oops:
You have a number of options.
Firstly, Series steering in good order shouldn't be all that heavy. Parking speeds you should almost be able to palm the steering wheel round when on tarmac on standard tyres.
Off road the standard steering can...
Just to let you all know I took the landy for a short run to settle the springs and then checked the axle to chassis distance and all seemed about right tighten them up and I can't belive how much better it rides over pot holes and bumps...
A regular rubber bonded bush is well... bounded to the metal insert. When you do them up tight it won't rotate freely, it will just stretch and compress the rubber as the insert tries to move. If you tighten it with the axle in the wrong place...
No idea tbh.
Fitting a body on a chassis is fine, although in the case of the Defender, it doesn't use a body tub, it has lots of separate panels. You'd need to weld and "modify" any chassis quite a lot to actually fit it. Which would probably...
Eh???
Front facing rear seats in a 90 are horrid. No way to get in or out. Late model factory models have different seat boxes/wheel arches. But still horrid. Side facing seats are perfectly fine and legal and if you don’t fit seatbelts they...
The Discovery 2 isn't made from pixie dust or anything magical. It therefore will react the same as any other vehicle when modifying the suspension.
The only real difference is:
-watts rear linkage
-optional EAS on the rear
-optional ACE
As for...
In poor condition, Defender seats are rubbish. The foam falls to bits over the decades, making them lumpy and uncomfortable. The solution is to simply refurbish them, rather than mess around trying to fit other seats in there. New internal foams...
Very doubtful, I want access to the battery and/or tank without having to get spanners out. Seats also need to be robust and suitable for a 4x4 and laning. I also don't want seat risers at all! Good condition standard seats are the perfect seat...
I agree, shorter gearing would certainly make them more peppy and fun to drive. The balance is against how much high speed cruising you may do.
The V8's are nice engines, but they still do their best work at mid and high rpm. Lots of people...
