search "solar hand truck" on you tube could adapt/customize something similar?

You should see what Audi charges for the $10 cabin filter and $3 coolant drip canister every 20k miles on their e-trons. Justified by "all the EV computer diagnostic tests" only they can do. The problem is people actually PAY it.

I think an XL rated tire is the perfect middle ground

Congrats! My dream as well.

I hope you don't end up missing that LR3 too much! I can't imagine what I will replace mine with when the time comes. :unsure:

LR3 for sure for engine/drivetrain reliability I have almost 200k and it runs like a top with only reg scheduled maintenance I believe a dry climate is key to longevity Things like the EAS, electrical gremlins, water ingress, control arms, brakes, and other expected items are well known and...

I "family" my LR3 with almost 200k miles. It is a genuine Swiss Army knife. It is our Daily Driver, Off Roader, Trailer Puller, Load Carrier, Kid Hauler. Haven't spent more than $750 over the past 2yr/30k miles on my own maintenance/repairs. I know it's not an LR4, but it shares many...

Agreed that an air mattress with foam inside is the winner. You can spend a lot less than the ExPed. I got a 3" amazon one for less than $100 and it has held up great. Def bulkier when rolled than other options, but the comfort is worth it if you have the gear space.

It's been a while, but basically finding the correct TPMS CCF option - and select "not fitted" very straightforward and in case anyone wants help justifying the GAP tool . . . $85 per sensor x4 = almost 70% the price of the tool then program yourself a spare $25 ebay key with it, and you're...

When my TPMS batteries died I chose to deactivate the system with my GAP tool rather than replace for $$ Also keeps the light off the dash when I air down

You might have better luck on a Land Rover forum - I would think lots of members would want these. Great price too.

Best vehicle purchase I have ever made. I do all my own service/repairs. LR specific forums are a wealth of pre-purchase info, post-purchase how-to, and "been there fixed that". Besides the info above, buy one from a DRY CLIMATE. I truly believe un-addressed water leaks, and rust/rot are the...
