Then why buy a Land Rover? Seems the 15mpg in gas would be better spent on a Mustang Cobra or something... But that's just me ;-)

It's a Florida thing. I have on order 33/10.9r20 but have to wait 3 to 5 weeks to get the wheels made with the correct offset to avoid having spacers and may call and go bigger. No serious off reading no rocks no hills it's florida.


You'd think if you grew up in a service department you'd know how to fix it yourself. Anyone can tell you if a noise is bad, if you couldn't, I'd hope you would never reproduce, well, with 33" tires on 20" rims on the disco that'll never see off road... I still hope you don't Just kidding, lol.

Thanks Dane. Actually a father of two. Sorry that I'm not a bad a$$ rover rider like you. I guess I didn't grow up there. Just was able to pull my truck in the back and have it fixed like a little spoiled kid. Sorry that I'm now 30 and trying to learn how to do some of this stuff on my own.

You were very lucky! Glad you noticed the sound. It could have been much worse.

Here is a photo of the culprit causing the vibration and chirping sound. Only one was bad but I went ahead and replaced all three with greasable U/joints.
