Time to stick my oar in here :roll:
I have a stock discovery that runs on 235 70 16 greenway machos in the mud, and same size colway ATs for the road, so realistically speaking I know nothing about lifts, 38 inch tyres etc BUT
I have travelled quite extensively and attended/marshalled many off road events both in the UK and America to name a few.
The Americans ENGINEER huge lifts to their vehicles and accomodate tyres to suit the terrain that they are going to drive. The roads can accomodate them as they are VERY different to our roads.
You just need to look at the sort of stuff some of the boys on here do, they have gone through trial and error to get to where they are now, but if I was you I'd also look to people like Devon 4x4 for what they do to their machines. You will then see what is feasible for our road systems.
You say that the big mud stuff will only be used for weekend play? You still need to drive on the roads to get there!!
As for speed ratings, you need to be careful, its no good buying a 68MPH speed rated tyre and say "I won't go over 68MPH" thats not how it works. It is what your vehicle could do according to manufactures figures when new in standard form. So if Landrover say a Discovery can do 80MPH then your tyres MUST be speed rated for that or you are breaking the law.
Realistically you will probably never get pulled by the blue lights, but if you have an accident then your insurer will refuse to pay as you are using a product not fit for the purpose you are putting it too.
You have lots of ideas, but not all are suited to the UK shores! Iceland or America then yes, but not the UK.
EDIT.... as an aside, can you please concentrate on your typing as it is VERY hard to understand. you miss spell and mis use words in every posting. Take the time to do it right, and you may then be able to concentrate on the modifications on your vehicle without making a total hash of it as you do in some of your posts!

i think crazymac hit the nail pretty much on the head.
i just thought so you might reread some of the posts i would do as you have and list my mods....maybe then you might listen??
