Wow. I love it. I think I know what i want to do with mine now!!! You are using the factory wheels? I was going to create a thread asking if the stock wheels would work with larger tires. How was it on the trails? Do you have any pictures?

It did flawlessly on the trails/rocks/water...I had jeep owners be amazed with how much the Disco did with so little. I fell in love again with the Rover...she did not have one hiccup.

I would never go rock climing without upgrade tie rods...just fyi

The Light Duty springs work really well..they feel very planeted. This rig is my daily driver..and really cant tell the difference between sways and no sways....no sways on the trail makes this rig amazing....no need for extended brake lines either...


I will agree with people...rovers have a certain way they behave on the trails...

How is the power with the bigger tires, also any difference in MPG? I'm thinking about getting the same size in the next few months and wondering if I should save for new gears or not.

Rig looks good!
Sorry but that is ONE advantage of the DII over the I.

The carrier on the DI is not flip-able.... having said that, you can flip it all you want... but it won't raise the mounting bolts / lugs for off the bumper for the spare.

Flip ya for real...

If you have steel wheel for a spare you can flip it inside out. I have a 33x12.50 on mine like that and i have about an inch gap between the tire an bumper. If you have the alloy wheel as a spare your kinda stuck modifying the bracket or getting an offset bracket

Default D1 cut

Do you have more close ups of the cut? I have 65/75's on a D1 w/ 3" OME lift and still have rubbing issues after the cut and have the same body moulding trim
