The Geolander has been really good for me (45k miles). I don’t deal with snow or heavy towing, but they are a great balance between comfort, looks and capability.
My wife’s 200 just got the Defenders MS2s and they are really impressive for family duties.
I would guess its not the starter, but get it to your shop and let them do their thing. Either way, you don't want to be stuck without a way to start the engine and ruin your busy day.
If you have the ways to diagnose, I agree with checking the battery, terminals, etc first. Most starters fail...
Let me know if you want to connect. Wouldn’t mind seeing your unicorn!
Mine has Bilstein front coilovers and OME progressive coils in the year. Rides excellent, even with the extra weight and ATs.
My wife’s drives much better after adding the Michelins. Ditch the Dunflops at a minimum.
I recommend:
-waiting about 500 miles before doing the alignment. Or ask the shop if you come back for a re-check. You will get noticeable settling. Find as many humps, bumps, and flexes as you can to break them in before alignment.
-staying away from 3
-1 or 2. They will be very similar but...
Good perspective. I put them on my wife’s LC, but haven’t gotten them too dirty yet. They’re awesome around town and on the highway, of course. But I would feel confident in them for the basics of 4WD and your input solidifies that. The mechanics of the 200 can compensate for lighter duty...
I mounted a piece of plywood to the floor using the leftover mount holes from the seats. It basically created a new subfloor and I trimmed it to the follow the shape of floor and trim. Then I cut holes above the mounting holes which allowed me to bolt the plywood to the floor. One bolt and...
Look closely at OME 2721 or 2720. This will get you about 1-1.5” in the rear with progressive rate springs. Comfortable on the street, flexy on the trails and good for light loads/towing.
No need for the spacer with new coilovers. The OEM unit (with spacer installed) will just come out and be replaced by your shiny new Bilstein assembly.
Same here. My fix was for a short screw on the edge of the tread. It wasn’t leaking when I took it out, but I found those repair screw plugs. I added extra compound when I inserted the plug.
The Defender LTX M/S2 is a brand new tire model.
Only us tire nerds would really notice in the real world. For reference, the sidewall looks more like the Michelin LTX A/T2, but the tread looks the same as the previous Defender tread.
Negative. The linked thread is another LC (yes, those are the older version as I mentioned with the link).
I have the Defender LTX M/S2 on my wife’s 2020 LC. These bad boys right here: MICHELIN® Defender LTX M/S2 - SUV Crossover - All-Season tire

I wanted the latest and greatest version. We had the previous version on her GX. It’s very early but these seem at least as good. As I said earlier, the added sidewall looks much better (at the mall).
I just put the Michelin Defender LTX MS2 on my wife’s 2020. They are excellent on road as you would bet. They have a better looking (more present, more aggressive) sidewall than the previous model Defenders. The sidewall is similar to the Michelin AT2. I wouldn’t hesitate to use these for mild...
The new Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 has more sidewall lug than its predecessor. We just put them on my wife’s LC and they’re excellent. The ride is similar (great) but they look much better.
