    LR3 Tire Decision Time

    How big a hit did you take on gas mileage and performance over stock ? Heavy *** tire.. Also balancing ? Do you still have them and are you still with them ?

    LR3 285/60-18 versus 265/65-18 MPG

    I found mpg dropped markedly and so did performance when I had 31" BFG MT on my D2 compared with 29" std size Nokian WRG2. Was diameter change or weight that had biggest impact ? - given your comments above I'm thinking weight big factor. .. I now have LR3 HSE and got a set of used 18" rims...

    Bombardier Iltis for sale $12,500 CAN.

    Wow.. free is always good. As an Iltis owner I would have been very keen to have picked that up and even happy to donate to your favourite cause. I have a reasonable collections of spares. Was it registered for the road ? Even if not I would have been very interested.

    Bombardier Iltis for sale $12,500 CAN.

    It is, but not actively pushing it. The iltis is quite unique and amazing design in many ways. Small fun tough and capable. I just bought a very clean 93 defender 90 tdi. Not sure I like it better than the iltis at this point. Was planning to run them both for a season and then sell one of...

    Bombardier Iltis for sale $12,500 CAN.

    back seat - 2 individual with fold down backs and lap belts. It is a compact truck though. In the front it is pretty good space wise. The seat slides a fair way back. More leg room than a Land Rover Series truck for sure.. Parts - a lot of VW parts from 80s Rabbit/golf so clutch no problem...

    If you were to start all over with a brand new truck, which would you choose?

    What about Ram 1500 Ecodiesel.. nearly 30mpg. 3Ltr turbo diesel not short on power/torque at all. Big Cummins etc. seem unnecessary for most jobs.

    Anybody doing an LR3 as an off-road rig?

    I have wheeled my D2 over many years in Canadian Forest/shield - mud, rock, tight trails. I am sure my LR3 would not have got to or through the terrain my D2 has been. Dimensions and breakover being key. Also near door handle wading capability for short distances. LR3 has intake on side of wing...

    D3/LR3 and RRS tips, and what to look for/check.

    Excellent write up - thanks ! One thing missing is adjusting the handbrake shoes inside the rear discs. If you dont do this then can bind slightly and on long run starts to get hot and can get severe vibration. If get severe vibration start suddenly check to see if rear wheels hot. If they then...
