    Opinions on installing a L702 screen

    With the kenwood really not much to the feed; install cameras, run wires, plug into KOS unit. Done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Thanks guys, I have to admit I was impressed with how it turned out since it was the dupli-color wheel paint. As everyone notes, prep is key. We'll see how it holds up but as I was painting the wheels I noted that not a single one of them was what I'd call excellent condition. Some are very...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    New wheel color, new shoes (275/65/18 KO2s). At least it will be easy to remember when I put them on: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LR3 suspension coil conversion switch cover.

    I did my best to address much of what you describe. Lemme know if there is something specific you are looking for: http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/143540-NAS-LR3-build-with-an-overseas-twist?p=2177891&highlight=coil+eas#post2177891 Bottom line is with regard to articulation, you lose...

    LR3 suspension coil conversion switch cover.

    For the sake of returning to this, a little digging, some info from Eric at AB, and deduction leads to the following: OME has both MD and HD coils for the Discovery 3 application. It would seem AB's premium +2 coil conversion uses the MD springs (OME 2744 (F) & OME 2746 (R)), whereas the heavy...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Hmm, I will add them to my list of ideas for my webstore. A Rover magic 8 ball would be a fantastic gift.

    LR3 suspension coil conversion switch cover.

    I think the premium 2" is holding up fine on my front end w/a bumper, winch, dual battery, OBA, & battery charger all up there. The back is where I see a little sag at full load out. Nothing pronounced, in my opinion, but the ability to load up a little more would be nice. Sent from my...

    LR3 suspension coil conversion switch cover.

    Fascinating, the heavy load kit seems to be a recent addition. I'm running their premium kit (i.e. +2", believe it is OME springs but perhaps MD vice HD?). I'm happy with it but am intrigued by the heavy load-esp if I add the aux fuel tank. I wonder if I can just get the rear coils... R- R...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    So I've heard. Then I can get my old LR3 magic 8 ball out so when the 'transmission fault/HDC systems off/etc' warning comes on I can shake it to determine if I check the brake switch, the brake light bulbs, height sensors, EAS block, or the sunroof drain/windshield cowling ingress points...

    2005 Disco 3 (LR3) vs new Hilux Revo for overlanding

    D3 will be more comfortable than the Hilux (by a longshot). Toyota is the gold standard for reliability (though that's relative). That, to me, is the crux of the argument. Can you live with the possible reliability issues and temper your travel accordingly while enjoying what is a...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Progress report of a sort. Twin Mtn LR3 runs the same wheels and tires as mine, but is currently on snow tires so I was offered the wheels to use to paint as I swap to BFGs. So: For the sake of showing, this is the slight sag I get when the back is loaded w/wheels & tires (& some RRC...

    The DiscoDavis Discovery 1 Mayhem Thread

    I know we've talked in sidebar, but I have to say with those pics...def hold onto her. Fantastic job doing the maintenance and minor mods to retain the classic quirky looks of a D1. There is something sublime about a near stock truck; everytime I see one I try to rationalize getting a...

    Spare wheel thoughts?

    For the sake of the discussion: -Yes, they make beadlocks for Land Rovers (or rather there are wheels that you can fit) but typically the serious version of these are in 15 & 16" sizes from what I've seen, typically going on Defenders or built D1/RRC & sometimes Dii's. -The LR3 weighs a lot...

    Spare wheel thoughts?

    When I went through your process I just grabbed a used one off ebay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=lr3+wheel%2C+18&=&rt=nc&LH_ItemCondition=4 There are several styles of 18 for the LR3, yours are p/n RRC505360MNH. Those can be hard to find and, argueably, are the...
