    JLR indifference.

    What sort of redress are you wanting? A lynching, lottery winnings level compensation, a brand new car... If you feel you have a legal claim, then there are specialist legal people you should speak to. I can't see how a car stopping suddenly could really be life threatening. That's a bit of a...

    Defender Lift

    BFG tyres are generally good. The KO2 has just been replaced with the KO3, but not all sizes available yet. BFGs are a bit pricey. I've got on really well with the Maxxis Wormdrive AT980. Very similar to the KO2 but considerably cheaper...

    Defender Lift

    Those wheels and tyres look fine and should work no probs. The next size up is a 285/75R16, they are a little taller and will look quite a bit fatter. But you might end up with this size sticking out of the wheel arches a little. Might not be a problem for where you are going, but in the UK...

    Defender Lift

    If you want to spend some money, then I'd recommend the Gywn Lewis kit. Its all about the go rather than just the show, if you know what I mean. It will transform the suspension travel and on technical off roading will make a huge difference...

    what shocks to use

    As Phil mentions above, the fitment of the rear shocks is different to the front, so not possible. However, I think you might be getting yourself a little mixed up. By and large, the spring will set the ride height of a vehicle. The shock is there to control the up and down motion, aka dampen...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Max tyre size?

    Any examples? Must be far and few between. I've consider an FL2 and researched them a lot, out of the many many threads I read across various forums, I've not seen a single case. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I'd assume is very much the exception rather than the norm. And if it was the...

    Defender Lift

    265/75R16 is a standard size, so will work no problem with stock suspension. As a rule you can normally run 33" tall tyres no problem. Although it will depend on the exact rims, tread and vehicle. Off road the 110 has a brilliant approach angle, although the departure isn't as good as a 90 due...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Max tyre size?

    Oh very clever. :rolleyes: A real shame you aren't clever enough to note that a Freelander 2 is all independent suspension while a Defender is live axles. The Muddy Mods FL2 lift is also just a simple spacer lift above the struts, so does not impact spring rate, pre-load or damping.

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Max tyre size?

    Do any of them cite actual people having driveshaft and other component issue due to lifting the vehicle? If not, then all you are doing is posting FAKE News and not helping the op at all.

    Defender Lift

    So a lift doesn't really give you more room for bigger tyres..... not unless you plan to never drive the vehicle or flex the suspension. Under suspension flex you'll need the same room for the tyre as you would with stock suspension. You can limit up travel to stop the tyre moving up as far...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Max tyre size?

    So all vehicles use the same parts then or are you spouting generic nonsense? Plenty of lifted Freelander 2's about. If it was a problem you'd likely here a lot more about it, plus see other supporting mods being sold by places like Muddy Mods......

    Defender Lift

    Hi and welcome. First off, why do you want a lift? Defender's already ride quite high, higher than most other stock 4x4's. Its like Land Rover already fitted a lift kit for you at the factory. What are you planning on doing with the vehicle that requires a lift kit? I'm not against modding or...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Max tyre size?

    On the muddy mods site, the grey FL2 on the KO2 tyres on the lift page looks to have 245/70R17's on. I'd suspect this is likely as big as you can go, but may still rub. I think there is a chap on YouTube with slightly bigger, but he did have to do some cutting. Remember a lift does not help...

    Do you have any proof of this?

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Are my headlights xenon or halogen?

    I would guess halogen. You should be able to get to the bulb. Halogen will light up at full output instantly. Xenon may flicker as you turn them on and gradually increase in brightness.

    I'm confused too.... I said we didn't drive the steepest bit, not that we didn't drive it at all. 😉 Also quite evident in the video, at this timestamp, hope it clarifies for you:

    Disco rear seat belts

    The rear seats have brackets that bolt through the boot floor to the chassis for the seatbelts.
