    2021 Defender 110

    i drove it before I bought it.. then had them put the lift on at delivery. the ride is the same... exactly. the tires made it a bit rougher until I reduced pressure by 5 psi.

    yes. the lift rods keep the suspension up 2 inches. NO it will not affect the warranty. NO it does not harm the system in any way. Land Rover puts a LOT of play into the air suspension / aka bags. also the bags are not that expensive (as a part) to replace over time.

    2021 Defender 110

    you sir, on right on target. I did mean 'dry'.. also, I have a couple of 4000 psi regulated paintball tanks that I likely will have inspected and put into service for the task. I am having fun learning the defender.. and building the 99 land cruiser.... one for the road / light off-road...

    Thank you. I am looking at how to get a contact in europe to bring in parts and stuff that you can't get in usa for them. I saw a bull bar that is cool.. but won't ship to USA last night. So.. but to answer your questions. 33in tires. using the 2 inch rude rhino rods.

    2021 Defender 110

    I already have a nitrogen tank (large) and (small) from racing cars where nitrogen helps reduce heat and expansion which alters handling characteristics. in those environments however, you are literally cooking the tire, but I agree about street cars 95% of them never really push a tire to the...

    2021 Defender 110

    issue is 47 /49 is the factory settings. when you switch to a e rated tire... the pressures switch and I am not up on the math to figure out the adjustment. it seems 38/42 is where it would be on road. and a bit lower than than off .. the truck is filled with nitrogen so I think I'lll get a...

    2021 Defender 110

    Ran the new truck on a shake down run. mostly pavement but a few miles on dirt / gravel. the tire pressure factory on the duratrac's are too much in my opinion. 46.9 up front / 49 in the back. small bump compliance is horrible but the suspension is amazing. I'm going to pul out 5psi up...

    I spoke with TFL and land rover about the issues in the videos. first the first TFL truck is a four banger.. it had software issues that got fixed. but they got a six cylinder SE with the 20 inch wheels, no mods, and did not get the terrain response system. they bought a lot cruiser...

    2021 Defender 110

    I built a battery out of 6 motorcycle lipo4 starting batteries. run a power line to it at 35 amps to charge, and it will run my large snomaster fridge 4 days. used it on my trip this year. unless you plan on sitting much longer... the 35 amp charges it from almost dead in 12 hours. so my...

    2021 Defender 110

    After looking at the d110 stock.. i did the lift. I thought tires.. and stock.. would be fine and after in person drive over a few trails close by. I did the rods at delivery so its' covered by warranty at dealer. I'm looking at bull bars and sliders (if you look I am also rebuilding my 99...

    mine is at the dealer getting 2in Rhino rods, good year duratracs (33 x 11.5) and fender-flares. hope to pick it up Tuesday. I ordered one and was watching mine come in on the ship then this one popped up exactly the same options, different colors. So I jumped on it. the ordered d110...

    2021 Defender 110

    i pulled the trigger on a Defender 110... seems like it might be a good platform for a expedition overlander in the long term. still working on the Land Cruiser... to use in the nasty stuff.

    On/Off road tires recommendations

    i can attest the toyo At3's fight above their weight class. using a boxing analogy. they wear well. they are great on stone, pretty good in anything other than clay/mud (when nothing really works anyway).. balance out well. they are WAY above BFG's as to wear. all around a good choice...

    Ultimate full time overlanding rig

    look into a carli suspension system for it... they are amazing on heavy diesel powered trucks. I put one on my 2018 f250.. and we did 900 miles up the continental divide trail WITHOUT AN ISSUE. (short wheel base crew cab)
