@Ehloo , If you’re looking to replace your tires, the Firestone Destination AT2s are great. Very quiet, looks pretty aggressive and they perform well when pushing our beast around the twisted! I just clocked over 2k miles on them including a 3 hr road trip last week. Very happy with my choice.

These are the Urban Automotive Wide Arch Kit flares. Quite a bit wider than the OEM flares and many of the other aftermarket flares out there.

My D90 has a full Urban package, less the roof lights. Not sure if I want to drill through my roof to install them.

reduced my air pressure down to a light load and majority of the noise has gone away taking in mind they are still All terrains

for even considering the recon grappler i would say they are a little less aggressive than the ridge grappler.

they have a similar aggressive side walls like the ridge grappler

Noted this from a recent C&D review...

At the test track, the D90 V8 launches hard, its four 275/45R-22 Continental CrossContact RX all-season tires hooking up on the way to a 60-mph run of 4.4 seconds.

First I've seen of someone saying 0-60 was 4.4 vs 4.9 per LR specs.

@Quick @Ehloo @James D. Robinson I noticed all three of you have installed the roof rail kits on your V8. Some questions:
  • Other than @Ehloo 's point about getting the right torx bits, any other tips re: installation?
  • What sort of loads have you put on the roof so far? I notice a bunch of non-V8's rocking around with Roof-top-tents. Have any of you done that? Would you be comfortable loading the roof with the land rover suggested capacities for the non-V8's?
  • Thoughts on cross bars? Lots of positive comments about the Thule Wingbar on the forum.

Another V8 Canadian owner here. This one lives out on the east coast. Received it at the end of July.
