    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Many thanks, the prospeed was worth the considerable expense I think. Also appreciate the wheels input, I'm prob going to paint them gunmetal (plastidip is starting to go) before they get the KO2's slapped on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    On the back above the tailgate there is a plug where the shark fin would go (unless you have a shark fin). I went through that and sealed it back up. I have a fake shark fin I will put over all of it eventually just haven't gotten to that quite yet. R- Ray Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    WISA board - for roof deck

    Take a look at Starboard HDPE, may be akin to what you are looking for and is avail domestically through marine suppliers. Not cheap, but durable b/c of its makeup when compared to wood. I tend to prefer chickencoop flooring for my racks, but if I was going to deck it with a solid surface...

    Looking forward to the before and after!

    Range Rover Traka Conversion

    I think I'd rather do a Bowler/Tomcat but it is sweet. As far as starting from scratch-maybe. Having the opportunity take some RRC's down to just the running gear of late I'd say it is nice to have that already proven and somewhat dialed in (weight change notwithstanding) to build off of. Some...

    LR3 Front bumper options

    Hence why I noted it was anecdotal and not definitive. I will ask my buddy if he took the time to notice which type/model/series and under what conditions they failed both at Uwharrie and then obviously take stock of what is sitting on the shelf down right now (and why). I would note that it...

    LR3 Front bumper options

    I'm running Superwinch all around; my 3 and my D1 both have the Tiger Shark 9500 synthetics. I just rebuilt my old EP9 that had been on my D1 for years. Warn gets a lot of brand recognition for the red W...but to put a fine point on it, my best friend was staff at the 36hrs of Uwharrie...the...

    LR3 Front bumper options

    Mike- When you say DIY, you mean DIY install-yes? (Vice building your own bumper). From what I've heard from a buddy who has an ARB on both his 3 and 4 they are finicky to get on right. Similiar issues to what dsm02c notes about trimming and such. Oh, and accessing the winch is very...

    Thinking of replacing all rubber in rear suspension on LR3

    Def following this and interested in your costs to the degree you want to share. I've been very pleased with LR Direct thus far. At some point I'll be doing this too. r Ray

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Brown santa delivers new shoes. Now I just have to decide if I use this as an excuse, I mean opportunity, to swap to the other style of 18's that I prefer...not sure it is really worth it. Opinions of course welcome... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Compomotive issues

    Got 4 cans of that Dupli color wheel paint sitting in my garage for that reason. Plasti-dip is starting to wear and KO2's are due to arrive Mon. As I swap tires I am going to switch to gunmetal paint just to ease touch up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That seriously sucks given the cost of those wheels.

    LR3 / Discovery 3 Coil Conversion +2" Question

    Interesting, I had measured mine to assist with flying in/out of parking garages around here-I'm tracking ~76" to the top of my CB antenna (which sticks up a couple inches from the roof/roof rack). That's on 285/60/18's-so 31.5's. Surprised yours is coming in at 74; unless of course you have a...

    LR3 suspension coil conversion switch cover.

    As far as I can tell, the Atlantic British 'premium' kit is the one that comes with Old Man Emu 'Heavy Duty' springs as part of the strut that gives you about 2" of lift. I don't know if there are heavier duty coils from OME-believe there are some in the AUS market, I'm actually going to start...

    LR3 suspension coil conversion switch cover.

    Ride is nice. Starts out a little firm till everything settles in. My wife couldn't tell the difference, a friend with an EAS Rover contends the coils are better than aged air struts-given the ride in his truck, I concur. On the switch blank front I have a line on one from the UK. Then we...

    LR3 suspension coil conversion switch cover.

    Hardwire the black (orange) box; no lights. Derek just did it w/his, worked perfect. No idea why mine was a failure, par for the course for me. I posted a wanted thread over on D3.uk to see if anyone over there has just the blanking piece to see if we can replicate. Sent from my iPhone...

    LR3 suspension coil conversion switch cover.

    Unless its only ever going to be solely a mall crawler, go with the OME +2 kit (since you need new tires...here's an opportunity to get a little larger than stock!).

    LR3 suspension coil conversion switch cover.

    So now I remember why I stopped; from what I gathered (and your pic clearly illustrates either a quasi factory or nicely done homemade alternative) is that the LR part that doesn't have the air suspension up/down switch also doesn't have the Terrain Response dial. I.e. it is p/n YUD500690WUX.L8...

    LR3 suspension coil conversion switch cover.

    Don't do it, EAS is what makes a Rover a Rover-if you convert to coils it may as well be a jeep!!!!!!!! You will lose cross linking, load leveling, 45hp, endure male pattern baldness, and be excommunicated by the pope..... ...I am obviously kidding, but just need to add some Facebook...
