    Buying a used Discovery in 2020

    Wow. Thanks for the words. Holler if I can help, I laugh at my thread sometimes because it is such an expose of trial and tribulation. r- Ray

    Anyone have a high mileage LR3?

    So what I've found owning both an LR3 and a Toyota Tacoma is that the Toyota is low maint-and thus cheap. Till it isn't. Then it is far from cheap. The LR3 is relatively low maint, for a Rover especially so, so long as maintained as this thread highlights. Not sure that you'll be doing all...

    Buying a used Discovery in 2020

    Your commentary is pretty solid and illustrative of an 'eyes wide open' entry into the cult that is owning a Land Rover. I have both a D1 and an LR3 so I'll chime in on that and try not to cover too much ground that others here have done well in describing. If I had to choose between the two...

    LR3 Coil spring conversion kit

    To answer your question, without tangential views, yes-retrofitting OME springs to the AB stock height kit works fine. Depending on intended application you can choose between MD or HD from AB, and be done with it. As an aside, just getting the struts for the HD, w/o the black box, was quoted...

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    For the sake of discussion, or at least one of the tangents of this discussion, I think the question of what is a truck gun is pertinent. I had always believed: -A truck gun is not a pistol, as that's something for on body (even if you stow it in the vehicle) *As is often the case in...

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    Seriously. That was something in terms of posts; taking the p*ss out of folks and then starts a proclamation by bringing a pistol to a long gun convo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LR3 coil spring conversion... Technical advice needed before I go insane

    I don't believe there is anything 3" that isn't cobbled together including a spacer on top of the strut. To your question, yes, you can take OME (or other) springs and retrofit then onto your existing stock height coil struts. No issues there. Between the MD and HD coils unless you don't...

    LR3 Buildout

    With LCA and UCA I don't know that I'd dwell too much on the polybushing opinions-quite frankly where applicable just get the RRS OEM arms and be done with it... With your mileage, I'd probably just do LCA's and let it ride.

    Thinking About an LR3

    The comments here get to the essence of your question quite well. Only thing I'd offer is not to be bogged down on the year. My 06 has been flawless. Even the lore of the teething problems with the 05's is likely more smoke than fire, and by this point of the truck's life it should have been...

    What would you replace your LR3/4 with ?

    It is pretty noticeable how the brand has changed in terms of mechanics willing to take on working on them. Anecdotal of course, but my local has had no issues with anything I've thrown at him (D1 or LR3), However, a few years back with my D1 when I was overseas it had an axle seal leaking...

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    Nothing wrong with a classic, especially like that. I think if I had need for something that would work well in a scabbard it might be something like that. Admittedly the blaster is mostly just b/c of a lot of muscle memory with the controls...and an affinity for making smaller and smaller...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Early am oil change. Picked up a Milwaukee 18v chain saw to put in the truck for the winter. Immediate test delivered good returns, even if I wasn't quite wearing all the appropriate safety equipment. Tucked it in the back for now. It will likely move to a different spot before it's all said...

    LR3 Buildout

    Good looking truck, and I really like the focus of saying 'my goal is going to the Arctic' with the the truck-b/c that means the rear swing away makes good sense. Personally I'd think hard about a 2nd tire in the stock position-b/c the loss of MPG for benjaminjaninja may well be that tire...as...
