Never drove the D5, but this is definitely smooth and faster than I need. Thank you Adam-

How is the AC? Does it have enough air volume, and does it quickly cool down the cabin?

Hopefully snorkel makes it today and is installed tomorrow so I can pick it up.
merrion - I have that tire ready for you.
Also has anyone seen Lucky8s lift rods? I went ahead and ordered a set since it was so cheap and I did run theirs on my D5 the whole time I had it without problems but man... That almost looks too big for me? I wonder what size he has on that one?

Based on reports from Land Rover Denver that they've posted on Instagram, they mounted 275/60/20 KO2s with the 2" Johnson Rod lift and it still rubbed. There are some folks saying that the 110s with the Wheel Arch flares have less room than those without.

I'm poking around to see if you go 275/55/20, you get same sidewall height as original, only slightly wider, but open up a TON of options in that size for a good AT tire.

Hmm... We will see, I thought for sure that would be a 275/65 - 34" tire... If the 275/60 just rubs a little plastic that won't be an issue, hopefully nothing metal. I'm ready to get started!

Merrion - Does your Satellite, 2d, and 3d maps work on your Nav? My dealer still hasn't been able to get the ones he has going and can only get Satellite view to work. I may just take it as it is and hopefully they figure it out.

No luck on the 275/60. I'll try the 55 next but man... Clearance is TIGHT on this thing. Front mudflaps gonna have to go.

I just mounted a set of the new Toyo AT3 in 275/55/20 on mine. Going to take it out for a shakeout run this weekend and will report back!

No rub on turns? That's my favorite one, even over the BFG.
