Having used the ever living hell out of Maxtrax, including deliberate abuse the same time we were doing side by side tests with inferior products, we hit a point where we'd taken enough nubbins off that replacing some was worthwhile. 1/4" bolts (3/4" long, I think)...buy by the point at Tractor...

In truth I should be, and am now again, thanking you-your substantive commentary (that I asked for) despite the negative reactions was what gave me the confidence to give it a shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just for the sake of exposing my biased view; I would note I don't pull fuses, don't have an SYA, etc. Mine just goes. :) *************** A judicious edit since my post is still last; One of the legit reasons to consider swapping to coils is to remove a variable from the equation, one that...

Colin- Would be very interested to see how it would react with a light trailer. For anyone pulling at capacity clearly the coil conversion isn't a good idea (the primary reason I'd keep it, in fact, would be for towing). Switching to coils isn't a panacea; but it also isn't the end of days...

Articulation loss (fundamentally downtravel) is well covered in my build thread, including a side by side with an EAS truck to show the delta. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/143540-NAS-LR3-build-with-an-overseas-twist/page36

I'm running the +2 on 285/60/18's at the moment, so call them 31.5's. Gut instinct tells me there is 1/2 radius to play with but I don't know that for certain, you may have to play with the frame horns and/or some of the wheel well lining. Likewise you def want to order the 13mm spacer...

Capability in terms of what? I don't think you are going to find Toyota out of the box better than a Rover-and I've owned (*own) both. Reliability? That is a different conversation but is very relative. The overarching thing few recognize is that the L322 & 319 for that matter, are not...

The aftermarket for the LR3 isn't terribly large (but growing). The L322's is even smaller. There are ways to sidestep this or overcome it mind you, but just bear that in mind. That said, the 06 & up platform (as noted) is pretty good. Pre 06 doesn't seem to be nearly as reliable. I have a...

I seem to recall re doing the presets; make sure you are removing both positive, then negative and then joining the two cables with something (I haven't found that nerve wracking but totally safe procedure to be necessary). Takes a bit of time, you can't just pop the negative off and she'll...

Hard reset, turn the car back on-hpefully she goes up on the bags. Then pull the fuses.

Highly suggest engaging direct, Ben is communicative and engaged. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My experience with prospeed was generally positive dealing direct with them; the rack took time to get but was well worth it. I opted out of the flooring and put chicken coop flooring down instead which is likely far more useful. Can't speak to Gobi mind you, just surprised that you didn't...

What accessories were you looking for from prospeed; if you can get the rack you can get anything else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, that's why I'm skeptical about all of this to be honest. Not saying the mechanic isn't being honest, but I've had too many who didn't really want to work on Land Rovers put little effort into diagnosis, but a lot of effort into high estimates, as a way to dissuade. For Alex; you may want...

Your bearings could be going, it is a common thing on the LR3. That's why this is sitting in my amazon just waiting for when it needs to happen (Timken bearing/front hub That said I'd suggest: -determine are you in fact leaking fluid, from your radiator. This should be easy to check since...

Run, don't walk, away from that mechanic. I don't quite know where to start with that. Much depends on what you want to do yourself and where you are with the vehicle mentally and financially. Relatedly, it matters what you use the truck for too. This is an illustration of the issue; is...

This is why a lot of us advise the IID tool, if you grab one on sale it pays for itself in 1-2 trips to a mechanic depending on shop hour rates. As far as why the suspension is doing this, lots of reasons why it could be happening-to a degree it really matters when/how it's happening. (only at...

No reason to exclude the big body RR. Should have posted this earlier, but this is a good snapshot: http://www.robisonservice.com/servicedep/buying-a-land-rover.asp r- Ray

So I already commented on NAS-ROW but since it is New Year's Day and I don't want to move, I'll chime in here too. 180k is a decent amount of miles for sure, but realistically if it has been dealer maintained the engine is likely fine for awhile longer (~250k?). The tranny going out is...

So this is me being a dumba$$, but I will put myself out there to futher the discussion: is this weight and complexity worth it for this capability? Ultimately this is an individual choice, but I view the battery setup first and foremost to get me started-and run ancillaries-but mostly to get...
