    Anyone attending Rovers at Wintergreen?

    It's a great event, and yes, there are stock friendly trails that an unmodified LR3 can easily do. Where you run into danger is the moderate groups...mostly b/c folks who likely shouldn't be in that group end up ego'ing in...so if you roll with those expect to use the suite of recovery gear...

    Roofnest

    I hear you about customer service, Autohome has been up/down in that department. Andrew is the guy I've talked to the most and in the lead up to buying he was useful and forthwright. I have had no issues since buying it, but a couple of questions, and those have had some response but not what...

    Roofnest

    You seem to have some good insights from folks, esp MrJosh's experience; I'll relate ours. It definitely starts with trying to see multiple options first hand if at all possible. On paper I wanted the Roofnest to work b/c of its size, weight, and ability to carry things on top if need be...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Take a look at the dimensions, but from a quick look at the space you are describing you may well have room for using one of those drawers in that application. While I went with 3U they do have various sizes to use. More pics in a bit to show where I changed the lock to a latch for one, and to...

    Lr3 Atlantic British coil conversion strut bolt dimensions

    Hard to say worth, I would assume we are talking ~$100-150 at least. I'd suggest a range, for me approx 13mm (1/2") is all I need but some may want a little more. R- Ray Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    No rattles at all; the latch pulls it tight and the slides are good so it is solid. Internally I lined them with neoprene for stuff in the storage. Really quite happy with them as small drawer solutions for this application. As an aside, tent is back on for the season! Sent from my iPhone...

    MaxTrax, are they worth it?

    So no doubt traction aids are far from new; having used PSP and fiberglass boards for some time long before MT I won't argue that. Nor would I say there is much to contest that the imitations of MT are just that, imitations. The beauty of the MT is they take the concept and put it into a much...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Some teaser shots of shelf system 2.0. I decided that I wanted coffee making and snack facilitation to be easier to access-and what is more overland-y than a drawer?! So I set out to modify my shelf, and decided to take advantage of an off the shelf solution-server rack drawers. Easily avail on...

    MaxTrax, are they worth it?

    Another way of running this out is: -competitors came along, stealing intellectual property and using inferior materials create a suitable substitute for the overland jewelry crowd... Not explicitly saying this in your case, just the pervasive logic of many in this thread can be cast in several...

    Lr3 Atlantic British coil conversion strut bolt dimensions

    Hmmmm, I am no help with your query-but if you make a set of 1" spacers (which is pretty much what you'll want if you go static on top of the strut) I may be keen on a set too...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    I considered it, specifically the L8 setup sold with the orange ones-but I got a very good deal on RRS LCAs (ironically, Rock Auto-shudder-and yet, they were OE so it paid off at that moment) and thus went with those. We'll see how long they last. My truck had it's LCA's done at 78k, and...

    Bumper reflectors LED lights???

    Absolutely no need to remove bumper cover. I ran wires down from the taillights and fished them through the steel bumper. This isn't worth overthinking; it's $25 and an hour of wiring (w/half that being drinking and figuring out which wires to tap for what) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    When they say get an alignment after control arms and such...there is a reason. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bumper reflectors LED lights???

    Well crap. From my Amazon order history, it is these-we have used them in LR3s and LR4s to decent effect. Doing what you are doing with the bumper lights is good too, I prefer to have some mounted high casting light far off the rack but anyway you slice it more light is good...

    Bumper reflectors LED lights???

    Did you not find it in the build thread, circa 2015?

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    I kept the arms this time around for that very purpose too. I do wish I could get to the safari in April, missing URE right now-mainly for the people-and the coffee at Uwharrie Mercantile. Concur, I'd really like to see some more adjustable coilovers...that would be nice. So it isn't a Land...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Sadly I don't really have the interior space easily-my townhouse's garage is consumed by the S1, the RTT, and two motorycles. In theory I could remove them to bring the LR3 in but even thinking about that makes my head hurt. The workshop I have easiest access to is in WV, so about 2 hours...

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    Handguard is a manta wrap sitting overtop of a generic MLOK clamp on, basically the same as this 9mm (which is also a contender to throw in the truck, I'm still finalizing it though-it now has the same wrap b/c I'm finding I like the purchase better than just putting covers or AFGs on there)...

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    Playing around with my AR pistol(s) has really gone too far. A little more painting and I think I'll stop playing with this one. It kinda hits my 'truck gun' threshold in that most of it wasn't terribly expensive. Hell the Maxim brace is really the most expensive part. This will get wrung...

    Bumper reflectors LED lights???

    Yes. All of it is my build threat, among others who have done it.
