Title: 2009 GC Overlander
Post by: lesgrandepotato on January 08, 2023, 08:56:32 PM
New owner here of a WK GC here. Specced up Overlander, 3.0 merc motor, all the toys. Love it so far!
Needs a new set of boots on it. It’s running 245/60/r18’s I suspect I could get a better choice of AT on a 17” rim… but will they clear the brakes on the Overlander? It’s quadradrive 2 if that makes a different. Not really thinking about a lift at this point….

Well done. :icon_super:  How many miles has she done ?

And we need pics.

I have just sold mine (06-180K) and I had JKU rims with Goodyear Wrangler P 245 / 75 R 17. 110T.  The fronts needed a 5mil spacer to clear the caliper.

The 75's fill the wheel well much better than the standard wheels.

......I'm now looking to buy another late WK as well with sub 80k miles ....but her indoors doesn't know that yet.......

110k miles. Very tidy inside and out. Only fault I’ve found (and the reason it was chopped in for sale) is the lift glass switch is stuck and was randomly opening the hatch.
I’ve got one on order from a broker. Rest of it all seems to be tippy top.

I had the same issue with the rear hatch. It turned out to be the key was faulty and kept putting out an open code. Took awhile but I found a mobile guy who came out and made me two new keys.
