Jwest's info is spot on and he's got a lot of time in the seat of these; as discussed going beyond 32's really has very limited utility in these trucks and can only be done with a lot of pain. If you look through the sticky on 3/4's you'll see a good selection of what can be done with tires...

I'd suggest #2 plus just a little insurance in the form of a microstart jumper...I have been very impressed by my XP10, having left it unattended in my truck for 2 months (in Abu Dhabi heat) and the other night at the airport a couple across from me came out to their van having left the lights...

Brief hi-jack; for the x-jack what are you using-air or are you blocking an exhaust side with a test plug or something? r- Ray

I hear you, my 06 LR3 was my promotion gift to myself after a long time DD'ing my 96 D1; no matter what it is light years ahead of what I am used to. If I could snap my fingers the only thing I think I'd do is have the diesel model LR3 vice petrol, but alas the North American auto manufacturers...

Based off that, either could do the job and I think you'd be satisfied. I'm biased as you know but yes, I agree with you, I think an LR3 would be the easier to endstate to achieve once you find the right candidate. You can get near RR like luxury from it for that 3x a week running around...

Kyle is spot on from what I've seen, the L322 is likely more capable in stock form-by a smidge-than the LR3 straight off the lot. Change the tires of one and that may result in that changing rapidly. There are a lot of L322's on the market, illustrative of how well Land Rover is doing...

That 07 looks like a pretty good deal.

That is a nice truck! Black on black 7 seater HSE, since it's an 08 you should have some confidence that any early model bugs are long gone-the price reflects that of course but its a damn nice looking truck for sure. r- Ray

Nick- I doubt it. I'm pretty happy with the 285/60 Terragrapplers for the time being. The 31.5" looks decent and doesn't suck away power nor make the truck to terribly aggressive looking, in my opinion. I always have the D1 running 255/85's if I want to have big, relatively speaking, MT's to...

So there have been some reported issues with the LR3's differentials. The rest of the drivetrain, engine/transmission in particular, seem to be rather robust by Land Rover standards (hence my initial comment about light years beyond the Disco II/P38 era). The difs seem to have some problems...

So on the balance I would agree wholeheartedly with you about getting a used LR from a (reputable) dealership. My LR3 was picked up more/less from a wholesale lot and while I got it fairly cheap, I subsequently paid for it fixing things that a different pedigree truck may not have had. You may...

So I put on the L8 provided 'proud Rhino' rods this weekend...so far the truck is no longer bitching about being in extended mode so that's a plus. It now lets me see the outside temp of 113, so that's a minus. All told I think everything is functioning as intended until I can hardwire in the...

Of those two I'd haggle over the $22k price on the #2. The very low miles is encouraging, but the age of the LR3 allows you to bargain I would hope even though its a dealership sale. It also has the black interior which as I mentioned I think looks better/lasts better, 18" wheels (though #1...

There is also a set of cloth seats out of a 96 on Dweb right now for sale. (no affiliation)

Well I was also hoping for more of her than the intro and the cameo in the background of the Maxtrax test. Maybe its just me but I never really considered a pair the appropriate amount. I'm partial to maxtrax for a number of reasons (you get what you pay for being the predominant) but as...

Nate- Sadly the 94/95 model year Disco seats are very different as you are seeing first hand. Easiest thing to do is just sell those off and source a set of either 96-99 D1, or any NAS model year RRC seats. The benefit of the RRC seats is you get the arm rests and such akin to the seats in...

Like minds Nate, like minds. Sadly the wife demands that our next Rover be her series, something I really can't complain about in truth. So I'll have to wait. Half of my wonders about how hair brained it would be to put Coyote in for a partial resto and do a swap when I get back to the U.S...

May want to post this over on Dweb (almost certainly want to search it there). I seem to remember my 94 having a similiar issue a long time ago (that was 2 Discos ago), I ended up having to redo a harness of sorts-it was a PITA. Hopefully you don't have that much of a systemtic issue.

Is it wrong I'm starting to look at UK car sales sites for a diesel Disco to import as they sunset past 25yrs? I fear the rust and issues of the early generation but something about the absurd graphics and the useless novelty of a 3door TDi Disco screams to me. Trucks like this only fan those...

Doug- Ha, thanks on the age thing-believe me when the Marines are thrashing me I feel every day of 40 and then some, but yeah, I'm doing alright for my age I guess! In terms of the sand and such, everything here is kept clean through one simple reality: cheap labor + lots of $$$. In terms of...
