    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Don't mind at all, and MontyMog doing his in the near term we should see good feedback on his thread too so everyone can learn. r- Ray

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Markq- Fascinating...everyone told me to get the roof panels when I ordered the rack and I opted not to b/c I'm biased toward the chicken coop flooring (this was a major controversy in the Discovery world about a decade ago). I can't speak to how it would handle the AZ sun, but I will say...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Pretty much, no trick-I took inordinate care to be out of the way of the airbag but in reality it was a non-issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The hunt for an Overland build.

    By all means, I have found NATO counterparts to be extremely professional and capable, and as an organization it has a lot of merit-there are things that only really the US can do but it is nice to have an umbrella (and there are some things that really NATO can do better than we can do...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Ellis- Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad that in some way my ramblings helped (or hindered depending on perspective!). As far as the coil springs go I have had zero real issues with it since the initial install; confession to make or re-highlight is that I dropped the truck off with the...

    LR3 trail "damage" fix it or display proudly?

    All of my trucks get used as intended to some degree or another, while I don't seek damage nor do I go whole on the hog to fix the aesthetic elements afterward-that said I do tend to keep them clean so the occasional polish to mitigate scratches does help. I tend to view rovers that are clean...

    Project Victory_Overland 08 LR3 Build Thread!

    If you Facebook may find it faster to hit Erik up there-that's typically how I communicate with them and he is pretty responsive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rover Warrior.... LR3 Build engagement pics

    Only did the rears, found that even w/the winch and bumper the spacers were needed-apparently so did Land Rover since they are a stock component! Hit me up if you run into issues-not that I could do the wrenching but that's apparently rather straight forward, but rather with the flashing of the...

    Rover Warrior.... LR3 Build engagement pics

    I hear you on EAS, my decision point was similar-it just wasn't going to be cost effective given where I was and what it would cost. In the end it removes a nice aspect of the truck but also one that is a variable that, once removed, leaves you with a simpler and more reliable platform. With...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Roof rack flooring; farmtek polymax again on a Rover Updates will be intermittent it would seem based off now balancing two Rovers and the rest of stateside life. It's a bit like having multiple wives, or at least a wife and a mistress or several. Perhaps that line of logic is best left...

    Rover Warrior.... LR3 Build engagement pics

    So someone will certainly chime in with the obligatory 'don't swap to coils, it will ruin the truck' Since I got here first, I'll just say-no, it won't. I love mine. That said when you go to tow you will have lost out on one of the best attributes of the EAS, the self-leveling in the back and...

    The hunt for an Overland build.

    Kgh is spot on with the shipping back, and depending on who you are working with many of the VPC's are quite vocal these days about the regulations pertaining to a vehicle coming back. It is also worth noting as you start this process if you put a vehicle into long term storage on your orders...

    Anyone regularly use suppressors?

    Prob would be easiest to have two lowers, one in pistol config with a brace and the SBR with the stock-changing out the buffer tube on a single dual use lower would be a PITA (assuming someone was using the sig or shockwave brace). The whole form 20 thing is why I just make pistols for the...

    LR3 Coil spring conversion kit

    With the spacers; just some aluminum round stock with bolt holes ala earlier model rovers? I ask b/c at some point when I'm done-particularly whenever I get to my aux fuel tank-I may want to do about 1/2" or so in the back to adjust the cant of the vehicle. Welcome back BTW! r- Ray

    The DiscoDavis Discovery 3 Build Thread

    Who makes the green one (with what looks like a MARPAT poncho liner in it, the best current NSN of the best invention the US military has ever made if so). Looks almost like one of my biggest money pits Kifaru. I know of one fellow Rover owner there but don't think he comes to ExpO much-more...

    LR3 Coil spring conversion kit

    Well yes, but presumably you aren't moving at great speed for long timeframes in that configuration so that mitigates it some. The other thing that popped in my mind after responding is what size tire are you looking to fit that would look correct with 4+" of lift (never mind functionality)-at...

    LR3 Coil spring conversion kit

    I honestly don't know, but presume you could-the issue you will almost certainly run into is one of geometry and strain on the CVs-but that's supposition on my part really. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Nothing huge right off, polymax flooring for the roof already on order. Wheels will likely go to black at some point soon. Fridge is on the short list. Deciding if KO2's need to happen before winter. Smallest of mods, but not being overseas allows me to show the colors a little more...
