a few websites to consider when preparing your Land Rover for some off road action!


You may be considering building your Land Rover for some off road action but are wondering where to begin. In this post we want to share some websites with you that we have found helpful in our search for the best off road gear for our Rover's! First off Land Rover's are a great off road vehicle and out fitting them for the trails can be expensive and while on a trail you could easily break something, so it is important to have a goal in mind. Do you want your Rover to be the most capable 4 wheel drive machine in town, or are you just looking to have a good time on the trails. No matter what you are building your Land Rover for you will find most of the parts you need to modify your Land Rover at RoverTym(www.RoverTym.com). RoverTym is one of the best names in Land Rover off road gear, probably the best name period. Rancho(www.GoRancho.com) is another great source for shocks that can be ordered to fit your desired specification. Shocks are important because after you lift your Rover you are going to want to add some extended travel shocks.

While you are off roading or while you are building your Rover, you may find some parts that could be replaced, RoversNorth(www.RoversNorth.com) is my personal favorite place to get new parts for Land Rover's. You local parts store will look at you funny when you ask them for any part for a Land Rover, but the staff at RoversNorth will take excellent care of you and send you everything you need in a timely manner.

When selecting tires you need to be careful, some mud tires are terrible on the road and some All Terrain tires are terrible off road. The tire that we have found to be the best is by Interco Tires(www.Intercotires.com)and it is called the SS M-16. The SS M-16 tire has been designed for aggressive off road action and suitable on road performance. These tires look great and out perform any tire we have ever had.

Best Tires for on/off road use for a Land Rover

I think we have found the best tire's for Land Rover's for both on and off road usage! We recently had SS M-16's by Interco put on both of our Land Rover's, one set of tires went on our 2002 Land Rover Discovery, and the other went on our 1998 4.0/4.6 P38a Range Rover! Both vehicle's look awesome with these tires on them, and to make it even better, both vehicle's handle great with them on too!! The biggest fear for anyone considering buying a tire that they intend to use off road is whether or not the tire will be good in the rain. I can personally assure you that the new SS M-16 by Interco tire is incredible both on and off road. My first full day with the new tire's on my Range was spent driving in the rain, and the tire performed perfectly. I then took the car into a parking lot to really push um, and see if I could get them to slide out, and it wasn't until I really punched the gas in a turn that I got the car to slide.

These tires are awesome, and we will be sure to post pics soon!, but until then you should check out our website and watch the video of the week then join to leave comments and connect with other Land Rover Enthusiasts!
