    Rover Warrior.... LR3 Build engagement pics

    Ah, gotcha-b/c you know if you don't like the stock rims you have....someone would be happy to take them off your hands! :) (they are unequivocally my fav style including Compmotives and such).

    Tires look good, thought you were switching out the wheels though?

    Lexus GX470 vs. LR3 (overland rig)

    My comment to that regard had little to do with the battery; I would hope that anyone letting one sit for a time would hook it up to a trickle charger given how much electricity they consume. Rather I have found that Rovers writ large like to be driven-perhaps you are correct and the LR3...

    I need an entry level AR 15 education

    What barrel length, what type of ammo do you see yourself using, and of course intended application. Absent that info, either would do but I'd say as a rule for most carbines shooting most modern ammo 1:8 over 1:9. r- R

    Lexus GX470 vs. LR3 (overland rig)

    So I'll chime in a few places based off your comments just to add food for thought, mind you this isn't to be overly critical just to tease out the implications of your application: -Won't be a daily driver; the LR3 won't like this and won't deal well with it. Rovers by and large like to be...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Another day on the mountain, this time with a D4 playmate. Only pic I took before the fire sadly. Bonfire that is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The DiscoDavis Discovery 3 Build Thread

    I will just point out that my experience across LR platforms tends to see an exceptionally wide variance in tolerances. Solihull is Solihull, even with as good as the 3 & 4 is compared to previous generations-they are still Land Rovers!

    rear seat replacement for a 95 RRC LWB

    I have a friend who has installed two front seats in the back but there is limited room for a fridge in between (read: none). May be better to get an old 60 section to butcher down to a 40 size and then cover the butchery w/a seat cover, just my $.02. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    I will admit I watched for about 3-4 weeks before I snagged on at $60, & as you said I'd considered just Amazon Priming it at ~$90 but for some reason that seemed too steep for the return on investment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LR3 OEM Locker intsall, is it possible?

    This is a first heard for me; do you have the different part numbers between an HD model half shaft and the standard? Given how the HD package locker works I'd be surprised if LR beefed up the rear axle since it is progressive and rapidly reverts.

    Super Loaded LR3 Control Arm Questions

    I'd vote #1 unless you really have a compelling need to go #4. To me the cost is worth the facilitation of getting it done without losing your mind. r- R

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    The E doesn't do oil; the II might (I haven't looked at its features in a LONG time)-since this truck, thus far, doesn't seem to release oil back to nature like my D1 does I figured coolant temp and volts were adequate. It is def nice to have a lot of electrical related input since I've got...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Scangauge E I'm a big fan of the scangauge line of products having put an SG II in my D1 a long time ago. With the IID tool a SG isn't really necessary for a D3 but my bias, and finding a decent deal on ebay, lead me to grabbing one of the Scangauge E models to try out and provide a little...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    We tortured some traction jacks up at Twin Mountain. They lasted an afternoon. Mind you it wasn't fair, we did incorporate the unimog into the testing-I think for 'I'm stuck in a ditch after avoiding a snow plow' they could work well enough, but if you are going to actually use them amidst...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    I'd keep the trasharoo on the back and put them on the rack, with the traction jacks too if you just got a pair-I have found that four works a lot better than two the majority of the time but that could be a facet of the mud around here! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Maxtrax on the roof rack The weekend's great weather and some free time with my able assistant prompted the movement from proposed mounting location to actually affixing the maxtrax on the roof. Fortunately I'd had some aluminum flat stock already drilled with the holes for the pins the...

    Land Rover LR3 18" Wheels...Advice Please

    I would say the stock wheels are more than adequate truth be told, these offer an interesting alternative but LR wheels have always been rather good for their intended purpose.

    LR3 OEM Locker intsall, is it possible?

    My understanding for the LR3 is that you will need to wire in the loom to the e-dif and then somehow reprogram the vehicle in its new configuration which is something that, allegedly, the dealer can't even do so you'd have to get creative there likely with an aftermarket solution. Or put...

    Dally Driver Locker Chose (Discovery)

    I don't think it is a question that a fully lockable dif will be superior to the limited slip-and with an air (or e) locker the selectability retains great manners of course. The big factor is cost; if you are willing to sink the cost of ARB or Ashcroft-buy once, cry once and overbuild! That...
