    This should probably be in the winch thread, but since you ask.

    The Warn Zeon 8 CE winch used in those vehicles looks remarkably similar to the drawings in the LR D5 workshop manual fitting instructions.

    Hey Rob,

    The German police cradles are unlikely to be from WildBear as the fair lead is mounted lower than theirs, it is closer to the Matzker and Lucky8 exit point. You would think they have gone with a German supplier if available.

    Cheers.
    Hi WhiteD3 - any further report on your AT+ tyres?

    Still happy with them having now done 8k. Did a trip on sand up to Double Island Point. They went well. Never looked liked getting bogged even though (as a test) I didn't deflate. My theory there being they have a bigger footprint than what I had on the D4 on a car weighting 500kg less.

    The other thing I like is there's no rubbing (that I can see) at access height.

    The driver in this article seems to like his vehicle's size.

    I finally got my 18 inch TuffAnt rims and 285/65/18 Toyo Open Country R/T’s fitted on Friday. They really fill out the wheel wells and no rubbing, even on access height.

    So far so good but I got them fitted Friday and ripped the front end off to install a winch on Saturday, so it is still on the stands and will be back together tonight I hope! I was hoping to take it off-road on Saturday so I guess I’ll know a bit more then. The tyres are louder though.

    Finally got 18” wheels

    After a longwait received my Tuffant wheels a couple of weeks ago. I choose to fit tyresclose to standard, 265/65x18 LT Cooper AT3 I had 265/60x18 AT3s on my D3 and Iwas happy with them. Tyre sensors swapped over no problems and no problemsbalancing up wheels.
    The Steeringis slightly heavier but this is not really a problem as the steering was a bitlight anyhow and it’s not as precise as 20” wheels. The ride on the other handis better over things like joints in cement roads. There hasn’t been anoticeable increase in road noise and performance doesn’t appear to be affected,yet to determine any change in fuel consumption.
    The other day went for a quick trip up to Mt Coreeunfortunately it wasn’t as challenging as I remember in the 90’s but did give abit of an idea how it would go off road. On corrugated gravel roads the ride isbetter even at road pressures and even better with reduced pressures. I droppedthe pressure to 25 psi and looks like there is plenty leeway to reducepressures further unlike lower profile tyres. It has reduced the feeling ofsuspension topping out that I got with the 20” wheels as well.
    My onlyissue I have is the clearance between the rim and brake calipers whether theremight be problems in coarse river sand or mud, time will tell.
    Now I havetyres that I can confidently to take off road and outback with better comfort and4x4 ability probably not as good in the bends (still better than any 4x4 I haveowned) but I have my motorbikes for that.
