Yeah, my intervals are smaller and absolutely no sag even with tool peli and BROG recovery on it. Between using 3/4 starboard or just getting some more aluminum and appropriate fittings I’d go with a little more extube. R- Ray Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t think anyone would say the LR3 struggles in sand. It does well depending on your frame of comparison-and will almost certainly do just fine for what you want so long as you have decent tires. Particularly given your experience. As I’m sure you’ve seen, no way to overcome stupid. That’s...

What I have noticed is the HD need/want/whatever often depends very much on where you wheel (not saying that is true in Perkj's case, just a general observation). Folks out west or in places that tend to deal with dry conditions really can get the full benefit from it. I did a side by side...

The HD package is a distraction that comes up frequently here; stick with your instinct-you won’t need it. If it has it, great. There are other things I’d worry about first. Regarding EAS, the notion that it will fail at 100k is a bit unfair to the brand. At 100k and over ten years old the...

I love the starboard but it is heavy! That's why I went with 1/2". My shelf is 36x18, which I covered with 3 sections (12x18). The middle of the shelf has a cross brace in it for support-I figured that was the best compromise to keep weight down, keep it structurally sound, etc. As you said...

So I'm another in the list of folks who watched perkj's initial postings and thought "I'd like to do something like that." I dwelled on it all for a long time but bit the bullet recently when I realized we wanted to have partial shelf setup with room on the other side for our primary cooking...

One of the great things about the MXT is the WX function; not that you can't get it with the HAM side of the house too of course but I like the redundancy as well. Admittedly with the LR3 I have been trying to keep the passenger area fairly toned down compared to my D1...lest it end up like...

My comms are pretty well covered in my build thread but for the sake of consolidation here I've had, at various times, a VHF/UHF, CB, and GMRS installed in my truck. Presently I have retained only the VHF and the GMRS units. CB was the standard cobra 75 WX ST, mounted under the passenger seat...

These trucks are light years more reliable than previous generations, though those generations reliability was often as much a facet of being properly maintained as anything. A long way of saying they are great trucks. In fact I'd argue that the LR3 is one of the most solid platforms LR has...

Like most, sea salt & pepper. We tend to also use mixtures like Tony Chachere, Dillo Dust, or some 'Slap yo mama'

As others have noted, you are mixing platforms between title and text. If you are looking for a comparison between an LR2 and an LR3/Discovery 3...well, that's just an odd question given that they are very different vehicles for different purposes. The LR2 is basically the 2nd generation...

Traction control can't make a bigger contact patch. That said, much depends on what conditions you wheel in. As far as compressors go-I have a TJM unit mounted forward with routing to a QD coupling tucked in the bumper. I considered the twin but decided it was overkill for tire airing duties...

Didn't take any as I did it, at least not close ups (all covered in my build thread), mainly b/c I didn't think anything of it. Here's what it looks like day to day. Rotopax mounts are gone now but otherwise the same. The three runners (two thin, one thick down the center) are sufficient to...

So I think maybe I didn't overengineer this. I bought two pieces of farmtek ($90) and about $30 worth of steel, drilled holes, and painted them black. Put those down and then bolted the flooring on top. Haven't touched it since then. I wouldn't say it approaches either one piece of flooring...

When I looked at the ps flooring I was not impressed with the value compared to cost (but I was in Abu Dhabi looking at it online vice in person). I'd be interested in perspectives on how good it is-and if its so good as to be worth more than a couple of pieces of easily modifiable chicken coop...

Some shots from the weekend. Truck got put to work hauling six + stuff to camp with (thankfully Coyote was prestaged with the tentage). Prospeed loaded up, still have a passenger to grab. I think this fairly clearly illustrates that the rack can me extremely functional-and is dead quiet and...

Wife and I were discussing this the other day as we noodle through purchasing a hard shell this summer and shifting how we camp. My suggest to her was to put some tie down loops off the side of our rack that the tent will be on (we have Rovers so we tend to use these...

True, of course the thing that comes to my mind is it makes you wonder why people hang so much weight all over their trucks (compromising the safety of the vehicle, particularly offroad) but don't look first at the single most important facet-what joins the vehicle to the earth (tires)...

Just connecting the battery will not reset the codes. As Abran notes, the full hard reset procedure is a little more. P0171 may plague you for awhile; worth considering something to update software (an IID tool) and at some point you may want to just get a code reader capable of turning off...
