These are wheels and tires I am planning to go with.
20x9 +30 5x120 Octa rims.





Planning going with Falken Wildpeak AT4W tires either P275 or P285 / 55 R20s , still sorting that exact tire size out.


I really wanted these Rims but no luck finding any sets left over anywhere, seems this style was discontinued. I was told Redbourne wheels sold to black rhino, and seems this wheel was one of many that got discontinued.

Also Ordered a new carbon fiber / Napa leather steering wheel tonight.
Just not crazy about the Alcantara steering wheel. It is also a little larger wheel then expected so went with a flat bottom version.
Fingers crossed it’s at least decent quality.

Anyone have any recommendation on the best GAP tool to buy, and where to buy it from.

I am gathering that purchasing a GAP tool is likely the only way I can permanently shut off this very annoying start stop crap.
It is not a golf cart; it does not need to turn off at every stop light.

This was an easy fix with my Bronco and my Ranger Raptor. Cost about 100 bucks plug this device in under the dash and done.
No more annoying start stop feature.

You can buy a GAP tool, or you can have it deactivated from someone who can configure the car using JLR's Pathfinder software, like @markjlr, @GarrettSD, or @sarek.

Is there any licensing to buy or anything else I need to purchase or need to know about it.

Also anyone know of a valid coupon code.LOL
These things are really pricy compared to similar domestic brand devices. LOL
