    LR4 multi purpose duty

    Ok, so now I'm jealous...that gauge/switch setup is awesome and kudos to you for sourcing it. While I still don't think I'd execute the aux tank in anywhere near the timeline you will, so I'm glad I passed it off, I'm envious nonetheless! r- Ray

    LR4 multi purpose duty

    Cracks me up to see that box; to think that it went from South Africa to Dubai then up to Abu Dhabi before coming back to the East Coast and now is on the West Coast. May as well have a bunch of flags or little oval two letter country stickers on it. r- R

    Dealer actually offered a good price on the part and has a glass guy that comes there so I figured why not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Weekend shakedown, I mean shakeout Title and the previous shot of the loaded up roof rack point toward the first good camping trip of the late summer/early fall. Or as my wife calls it, our shakedown run. Or maybe I call it that and she rolls her eyes at me. Truck loaded up, side shot...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    I have no regrets about the swap. It made sense for my application and where the truck was in its lifespan. That isn't to say the EAS isn't an excellent system all told, just that as they get past about a decade most aren't just looking at the AMK upgrade, but also likely the need to swap the...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Rotopax on the prospeed's aft section As the 'tis the season pic hinted toward, the back of the rack now houses a couple of 1 gal rotopax's. Water at the moment, and just singles. Possible double up to either carry chainsaw intended gas/oil mix cans or more water eventually. I'd always...

    HD rear coils Got a chance over Labor Day to do an oil change and throw the rear HD coils on. Getting the 'old' out wasn't all that hard, what is becoming 'the usual' in terms of rear coil removal-small hands help for the back top nut. Using a facility with a strut machine def helps make the...

    LR4 multi purpose duty

    Jes- This thread...its worthless without pics of the adventure described. :) You will get good use out of the tank, admittedly my East Coast self is jealous of your West Coast location...my Rover bucket list right now reads like your summer vaca. (well, with Alaska ->ALCAN & the National Rally...

    Getting Back To Land Rover (aka Quixotic TD5 Swap)

    Take a look on Discoweb, there is at least one example of this that's been done IIRC. Does it make sense? We are talking Land Rovers so I'll set that aside. What I would note is potential longevity w/the thin frames of a Dii should be taken into account. Sourcing a good candidate truck...

    Lr3 ARB bumper with superwinch

    That looks more/less like the setup Expedition Exchange (EE for the old school Rover folks here) sold under Expeditionware. They still have the backing plates for sale but not the shackle mounts, it appears. (https://www.expeditionexchange.com/backingplates/) Assuming good hardware to mount...

    Transmission Fault - LR3

    I would def pull up the carpet and look at the pass side channel. The A/B comm failure, brake switch, etc can all sometimes be tied back to that. Less likely would be the transmission module up behind the battery, or a loose negative cable, dying battery, etc. As far as the raising message-I...

    Looking at switching to a 2005 LR3 from 97 Pathfinder

    There is a lot of commentary about 2005's being more problematic as the initial year of the model; that said there is little evidence that it is demonstrably worse. The dif issue is worth noting, however it is also worth keeping in mind that if the dif has lasted this long it may well be just...

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

    With an 07 you may actually have to retrofit the IPC to the MY06+ (believe there are three choices in the menu for the IPC flashes for the IID). https://www.gap-diagnostic.com/faq/. Take a look at their comment for the upgrading IPC w/o inconvenient lights. Since you have an MY07 already I...

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

    Believe it's part of the CCF for the instrument cluster, you want to update it to the MY 06+, there is one option for it that won't have the aux heater light come on when the headlights do, but I forgot which one. GAP should have it in their quick ref guide. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lr3 ARB bumper with superwinch

    Ha, well I appreciate that my comments resonate with someone. I think going to the TF sliders is a good idea, though either with those or the rasta just keep in mind that these things (LR3/4's) are HEAVY even in comparison to the Dii, and esp the D90-so where those you may be able to rail slide...

    A "Toyota Guy" Buys a Classic

    I'll try and find some pics of the winch setup we did on the front of that truck, basically it is a quasi-hidden setup. Fairlead is just below the stock bumper. Downside is the grill is chopped up but that's also b/c we made no effort to keep it classy given its intended life. In the choice...
