    dldvs got a reaction from PaulD in RTE coil springs   
    I’m considering pulling the trigger on a 2 inch lift from RTE (previously known as Rovertym). I spoke with the current owner Simon yesterday about his current coil manufacture and he said that for last several years it has been a significantly better domestic manufacturer.
     
    Has anyone fitted RTE coils recently? How have they performed? Too stiff? Have they sagged?
     
    Thanks,

    Got a new fog light switch (PRC3432)for the 110 off fleabay today.
     
    My original switch had a cracked plastic handle.
     
    Didn't expect this "New-old stock" to come corroded.
     

     
    Some elbow grease, pencil eraser, and bristle brush and it is back to new.

    My understanding is that the OEM is Dixon Bate, but yes, unfortunately there were no indications or markings of the OEM on them.
     
    Yeah, the LR plate is pretty rad

    Are they Dixon-Bate (or are there no signs of the OEM on them?)
     
    I've always found them more use mounted on the back than the front ....

    These are so cool. (I think the little land rover plate does the trick )
     
    If there are any $$ left over I may add them to the rear of the 110.

    Replying on mobile, sorry for the repeated replies.
     
    The model is the AVH-3500NEX. Last weekend I went out to the Panoche Hills BLM and, if you’ve been out there, you know how jarring the main road is. It didn’t have any issues with that, but I have the mounts modified a little to have it fully supported both at the front and the rear. But if it gets ridiculously bumpy, it is easy to fold in (and focus on the trail).
     
    For the Gaia app, you just have to search and download the Gaia CarPlay beta app on your phone and it will show up in any radio with Carplay.

    Welcome to the club! 
    By the way, which Pioneer is that and how does it support the GAIA -- do you have a GPS puck or some other setup (e.g., you link it to your phone so it works so long as the phone has service)?  Also, have you had a chance to do a serious shake down with that monitor.  I'm interested in that setup, but I'm a bit concerned that too much off road bumpiness could do it in pretty easily.

    Howdy,
     
    Joined up today and looking forward to meeting you all out on the trails. I’ve owned rovers for a little over two decades—first a 96 D1, then an 04 D2 S, next an 03 G4 HSE (one of the event vehicles), a 2011 Range Rover Sport (wife), and then another 04 D2 S7 (because lots of kids).
     
    Only have kept the 04 D2 S7. I’ve owned it since 08. Here are some pics. Last one is a touchscreen setup that I installed recently (a new fold-out Pioneer that I took apart and carefully refinished in matte black to match interior and get rid of labels and glossy finish).
     
    I put in the genuine winch tray back when I got the vehicle, and a Superwinch X9. I removed the roof bars and put on a Safety Devices low roof rack with SD flooring. Genuine HD springs front and rear, so only slightly higher than stock. Pirelli Scorpion AllTerrain’s in 265/75R16. Really have liked these tires BTW.
