    LR3 Alternator Replacement

    Ouch, $800+!?!?!? I would hope one could do that install themselves, (I've done it) fairly easy, and save over $500 in the process.

    LR4 spare tire options

    I ran with my spare tire up top on the roof for over 2 years and really liked having it up there out of the way. I've changed a flat and getting it down isn't the problem, it's getting it back up. It's very practical and you don't have to worry about anything. I have since switched to the...

    Land Rover Experience Tour Peru

    Just wanted to share the awesome news with the group. I won the Peru Challenge at Quail Lodge and I will be leaving for Peru next Friday. No joke. It's going to be the trip of a lifetime and I am over the moon excited. There were 4 USA winners and people from other countries going. Sounds like...

    Land Rover Experience Tour Peru

    Thanks for posting this. Somehow I either missed this or dismissed it when I first saw it. Anyway, I made it out to the LR Experience Center in Carmel, CA over the weekend and did the Peru Challenge. It was a lot of fun driving the new Discovery(5) off-road. It's a very capable vehicle and look...

    Cooper STT Pro for my LR3

    I'm still using a Hitachi compressor so don't have any fitment issues with the sliders. I did recently weigh my truck and it came in at 7k lbs so add some gas, two people, and some gear and I'm around 7500 lbs. How would one calculate the optimal tire pressure for that, I'd like to know.

    Cooper STT Pro for my LR3

    If read properly my comment has nothing to do with my driving style. To answer that question, "as slow as needed, fast as necessary". I'd agree on the poor (not dumb) choice of C load tire, but back then I had NO idea about the differences. I literally looked at the Johnson Rod website as to...

    Cooper STT Pro for my LR3

    Well, let's say I'd drive Ms. Daisy in a Bo Duke kind of way. :ylsmoke:

    Cooper STT Pro for my LR3

    I never ran lower than 25/26 PSI as some damage was done in my early days of 22 PSI, but it didn't matter what PSI damage was done anyway. Like I've said, hopefully the E rated tires with their stiffer sidewalls will prevent this from happening in the future. Time will tell. Maybe the design of...

    Cooper STT Pro for my LR3

    New boots are here My new tires arrived today so I drove up to Discount Tire and had the new Cooper Discoverer STT Pro's installed. Since most of my rims are so far gone I donated my last 3 good rims (for the record I have 9 matching rims and 6 of them have damage). Even though the rims were...

    Cooper STT Pro for my LR3

    Discount Tire has a great hazard protection plan which, I think for my tires, comes out to about $45 per tire. I've replaced every tire (except my spare) over 4 years using the plan due to "torque cracking" twice (tread blocks pulling apart), and 3 times for sidewall cuts. I always replaced...

    Cooper STT Pro for my LR3

    My criteria was to get a tire the same size as I have now for off-roading 275/65/18, be a mud terrain tire, have E load rating and good reviews. The Cooper Discoverer STT Pro hits all of those. Granted there are many, many other great choices it came down to size, and aggressive tread. The...

    Cooper STT Pro for my LR3

    I just pulled the trigger today and am making the switch from the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R w/kevlar (which I've been running for the last 4 years) to the Cooper STT Pro. Both brands are in 275/65/18 size. The Goodyear's are only C rated so caused mucho problems with sidewall flex and the...

    Minnesota LR Specialist?

    Expedition Autoworks in St. Louis Park is "the" Rover Specialist in town hands down. They'll do a thorough inspection and give an honest opinion.

    New product from Proud Rhino! The SYA Off Road Extension Kit

    Here's a concern of mine for my specific situation. In my situation I park in a very low garage, it is necessary for me to not only go into Access Mode (lowest height), I also use the LLAMS suspension controller to go even lower (another -20 mm). If the truck thinks it's bottomed out and goes...

    Anyone mount a RTT on LR4 Genuine roof rack?

    I have yet to see a RTT on a standard LR rack and I've been looking at this stuff for years. I don't think you can pull it off without removing (at least partially) the side bars. Those racks actually look pretty sleek and low profile without the top rails around it. If you love your rack that...
