I used their hood kit on my D1, was very happy with the relative reduction in noise and the quality of the kit.

Oman cont'd Back from doing the trip to/from Muscat, with the temps finally starting to be somewhat tolerable it included the opportunity to hit a nearby attraction called Wadi Shab Wadi Shab-Lonely Planet which was a fantastic hike and swim in some amazing terrain. It also got the gratifying...

Back from a trip to Oman for the past few days where temps were well above 100 and the fridge was on throughout, including protracted sitting during some work days. Battery never dropped below 11.5 based off check the voltmeter at various times but the well known LR3 desire for good power...

OJ Had to put this into the thread, Jerry (Jerdog53) pinged me a few weeks back and asked if that was us in OJ-since the mail moves slower I couldn't confirm but was pretty sure that the convo I'd had with Chris awhile back resulted in inclusion in the magazine. Mail call finally came and thus...

Registration renewal For the sake of posterity and since this thread describes the build of the truck overseas, figured it would be amusing to at least document the past week's fun and games. Registration over here is akin to the U.S., UK, etc-i.e. there is an inspection and then you pay the...

As others have alluded to, what you may want to do is buy components-in fact if you are doing three as you stated for you + kiddos a great project would be to build the lowers yourself. If you can turn a wrench on a truck you can make an AR, particularly the lower. Couple that with the cheap...

Don don't be surprised if some form to the sincerest form of flattery (imitation) transpires when I do my own HAM install!

I think Steve and Robert's perspectives are pretty much on. What I've seen as I build AR's is that the difference between companies/parts is very relative indeed across a wide spectrum of the flooded AR market. As Steve alluded to most companies are actually buying the same parts perhaps with...

I thought that was the front bumper removal tool?!

With that as your framework I'd tell you that of my two Rovers, the 96 and the 06, the 96 will do that day in/day out. Moreover its relative simplicity, resiliancy, and redundancy ensure that even if it has to limp home-it will get home. I have a relative amount of confidence in my LR3 but not...

I do find the notion of Rover's being very expensive to buy, expensive to maintain interesting-I have always loved the fact that a few years off the line a Rover's price is so low that it is hard to believe what MSRP was. In truth you get a lot of luxury for little dollar if you buy used (I...

Throw them on eBay, someone will buy them in a heartbeat. Shame shipping overseas costs so much-the guys on D3.uk are always adding them on. Funny how I always look at them as a good sign the truck has never been wheeled and take them off immediately.

Land Rovers are never quite fixed but rarely totally broken. If that's not for you, then the Expo stock '80 series LC' may be the best bet.

Can't speak to who exactly Justin had make that bumper, best to email Lucky 8 direct and see where it is-may very well be a prototype or one off build. I know it was coming together last fall as they did the LR3 build but it doesn't look like it is in a production status (yet). r- Ray

Ipod integration, bluetooth, Nav, and the dash ver 5.1A Living with the HK stereo with none of the Nav, BT, iPod, and other bells & whistles continues to give me opportunity to play with various elements in and around the center console-if nothing else it gives me something to do and I have...

Playing with light (bulbs) Time for some updates, with most of the big projects done or pending transshipment from other continents I've been playing with little projects instead. With the HID headlights providing great light, the fogs and the aux lights were as much aesthetic as anything but I...

My understanding of the basic stereo options were: -Base model (non Harmon Kardon) -HK (base HK, has amp, speakers, etc-but doesn't come with BT, iPod integration, etc-this is what my SE has) -HSE HK (HK stereo with all the bell's & whistles). This may be a simplification, i.e. some trucks may...

I have been meaning to examine the Frontrunner setup with an eye for rack mounting but tend to follow Jwestpro's view that having heavy things up high like that is not good in the long run. On my D1 I cut just a little off the end of the 60" jack to get it to lay down in the floorboard of the...
