Way to go Gabe ! What did you do with your other one ?

 

[Andrew McGaha]

Mine is not in fact a mall crawler although is has been to the mall...

We should meet at Hawks Pride or Chocolocco sometime.

‘05 LR3 - 35“ Nitto Mud Graps / Voyager Rack / RTE Bumper / ARB Locker’s F&R / lots of other stuff (I also have a ’97 XD and a ’94 RRC):

How have the 35’s treated you? Did you add spacers to keep from being DOA with a suspension fault? Bump stop/no roll has me a little intimidated from going larger than the 265/70/18’s (33ish) I currently run.

SYA to take care of the suspension fault. Spacers you have to have to clear the ball joint.

No problems running the SYA kit? I’ve heard they can throw codes of their own. Maybe that’s been sorted, it’s been awhile since I’ve read up on it.

How much lift did you have to put on your rig to be able to put 35" tires.

That looks awesome! I have an '05 LR3 as well, would like to make some of those mods. Curious, did you have to re-gear the transmission to run the bigger tires?

There are no gearing options for the LR3

No, but if there is ever an option for shorter gears (TC, R&P...) I’ll be all over it.

Not sure... 2.5” + a little. Lots of cutting and beating of the fenders.

I down for some of that!

I didn't know that. How about earlier models. I thought the D2's shared the same gear boxes as the that Jeep looking Land rover version.
I forget what they are called right now.

I'll bet it did take a lot. I have 2" of lift and my 32" tires have just enough and no more room for a bigger tire. Where I go I shouldn't need them though.

There are options for D1 and D2, but not D3. Im talking axles, not gear box, which is what you’d change with larger wheels. There are probably some of the same components in the Defender and D1, but I’m not savvy on that. Defenders are too expensive for me to even think about...

@Rover7284 mentioned the transmission and I picked up on his comment. I thought you were talking about diffs though. I read somewhere where the defenders shared drive trains with D1 and D2's. I know D3's changed back to previous used transfer cases or some such thing but I thought all year models shared the same diff's which were also in the Defenders.
I cant imagine people owning a defender not being able to have diff gear choices. Because I havent changed my tire size enough to warrant a gear change I haven't given it a thought until you mentioned it. Still, I am surprised at your comment of no gear choices.

LR3/D3 has 4 wheel independent suspension so it shares nothing with the prior models.

 

[rgallant]

Defender to Disco II all used the same basic LT230 transfer case but, you can not just swap there a lots of little differences. Same with front and rear diffs

I've never seen one so I didn't know it was built similar to a military hummer suspension. Your saying it has swing axles instead of straight axles then ? That's pretty neat !
