Greetings,
I'm new here, and have been reading many of the posts regarding LC's, modifications and other interesting stuff.... and I've been sort of in a quagmire regarding purchasing a new 4x4, but now have come full circle. I haven't bought a new SUV for 14 years..... all I can say is things have sure changed over the years, especially prices. I always told myself I'd never pay over $30K for a vehicle.... but you don't get much unless the MSRP is $50K plus.
My questions:
1. I noticed the new 2006 LC comes standard with a "Tire Pressure Monitor System". I'm not real crazy about the stock 18" wheels, but like the earlier model stock 16's that came on LCs a few years ago----plus there's more of a tire selection in 16's.
Can the earlier stock 16" wheels adapt to the 2006 hub assembly and the new tire pressure monitoring system ? ...... how does this system work ?
2. I also noticed the 2006 has an option called: "Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) with Adjustable Height Control (AHC) and automatic load leveling". I'm reluctant to buy a vehicle with this feature in case I want to install an OME 2" lift in the future, unless of course the AVS/AHC system is compatable with an aftermarket lift-----I fear the computer and sensor glitches to those experienced on Land Rovers.
Is this AVS/AHC system worth buying ? ..... or is it more a liability ?
Any advice would be appreciated.
