    SOLD

    FYI: I sold my TF skid plate to a friend who installed it with a CFE bumper, he just needed to cut a little off the top. It looks great. Hope this info helps you.

    LR3 Lower Control Arm Kits

    Speaking from experience on my 2006 LR3. I converted to 100% orange Polybush back in 2015, uppers, lowers, sway bar bushings, everything. I run two sets of tires; my winter tires on low profile 20" wheels, and my 32" mud tires on 18's. Pretty harsh ride with the lower profile 20's but very firm...

    Land Rover VIN look up?? Topix, VINDECODERZ Not working ??

    My experience is vindecoderz only showed detailed information for LR3's not LR4's. Or, if I'm not remembering correctly, it was hit and miss with LR4's.

    Best quality replacement LR3/4 front lower control arms

    After owning my LR3 for the last 8 years and trying different arms and bushings. I would have to say stick with the Meyle HD, or go with RRS arms as @tdhunter13 stated above. Stay away from Poly bush all together whether it's the stiff Orange or the softer Green. They simply aren't flexible...

    [SOLD] - ARB Fridge Freezer - 50qt with accessories - $700 Minneapolis, MN

    LR3 upgrades options what to do

    You're going to love the LLAMS, I've got it and use it almost daily, it's a solid system. Regarding skid plates, if you were to add just one plate, I would add a Tactical 4x4 gas tank skid (or equivalent). I installed mine in 2013 and it is completely beat to ******** saving my gas tank from...

    GAP IID Tool Guided Suspension Calibration issue

    You don't need to put it in tight tolerance mode, the guided calibration takes care of everything for you. Get in, make adjustments at each corner, get out. Done!

    LR3 Tie rods???

    I've pretty much always replaced the inner and outer at the same time. If you only do one end, it's only a matter of time before the other end wears out and you'll be right back in there to replace that, and you'll need to align the wheels (AGAIN). My LR3 eats tie rod ends like M&M's.

    How to Bleed a 4.4 Cooling System?

    You'll probably have to keep monitoring the coolant level each day or as it cools down and top it off as needed. After a week of driving it should settle in somewhere. The top T-bleeder valve (under the engine cover, near the front of the block) is a good place to dispel air in the system.

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    I have the same set up as you (minus the NOCO) and want to share my experience with you regarding wiring the solar panel directly to the AUX battery. I have the USI-160 traxide system, not sure if you have that one or the SC80. The solenoid is designed to work with the charge coming from the...
