Agreed, they're easily my favorite. Plus they have a proper offset and don't stick out the sides of the wheel well like the other steel wheels do.

Yeah, I looked them up last night in attempt to post a link to them on here, but couldn't find them either.

Six inches at least. People putting on chains. The Disco plowed right through. This truck is great in the snow.For all its faults and all its quirks..it does prove itself worthy when the sh@t hits the fan.1200 miles fully loaded. Zero issues. I even managed to get a speeding ticket. My first ever in a rover. 40 in a 25. Ugh.

Default Snap, Crackle and Pop Went The Sunroof

Front sunroof has sounded like it was going to break when starting to open. Have been wanting to vacuum/clean around both openings and inspect now that most of spring falling live oak leaves and pollen have slowed.

Simple search for "grease sunroof" in our D2 section turned up several good tips and ideas of look to look for. Glass seals still in great shape and a little grease on the rails took care of the noise.

Thanks again to LRF.

Where did you get those I've been looking for a brighter light up front. Price and part number would be cool too.

I got them long time ago for another project on another car and they fitted perfectly to Landy. Matching temp. low/high beam bulbs are on the way too!

You can also use these leds to replace the orange front side marker lights(the ones right next to the signal light). It doesnt look as good as the amber lights but better than nothing.

Any idea if it will pump 85W-140?

What's your tire size? My D2 is the same silver with same 18" wheels. I'm looking to beef up the wheels up from 255/55/18 and put a 2" lift.
