Freelander 2 Sport LE Black - New Owner and Mods...

Hi all!

Just purchased my first LR a couple of weeks ago, it's a 2011 Sport LE SD4.

General Grabber AT3 tyres fitted within an hour of ownership, removed the tacky fake exhaust tip, Rhino loadspace protector put in, roof rails and Thule Wingbar Edge ready to be fitted and have already had the engine remapped for 25% more power output! TentBox Cargo roof tent on order, to be present in the next few weeks...

Already camped out in the back of it overnight, not much room to stretch, but did the job for the night!

Loving it already and cant wait to tinker with it a bit more.

Here's a few pictures!

We sleep inside our car. Put everything on the front seats, floor & dashboard, push them forward & tilt them forward as well. https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic32055-16.html

If you are sleeping in the car in cold weather you will get condensation on the tailgate trim panel. I've installed acoustic insulation & the foam has been brilliant for thermal properties. https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic33026.html

Also I have cut windscreen sun shields for every window. They work really well. https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic34408-5.html

Hi, how are you finding the GG AT3s? I recently picked up a 2012 Sport LE too with OEM continental cross-contacts. Really like the look of the AT3s but not currently planning any off-roading so wondering how they are on tarmac (dry and wet).

Cheers

No issues with them, they have been fine for a few long distance trips I've done so far.
Though I fitted them almost an hour after purchasing it, so have nothing to compare to! Laughing

Haven't heard of many people remapping the sd4 - usually provides plenty of grunt anyway. What did the remap take it to?

I find them an ideal tyre for all road conditions, mine is rarely off tarmac. Not noisy, handle and grip well wet or dry and wear really well. Id happily have another set although fancy a set of BFG AT/TA Thumbs Up Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948
