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

    I'd be interested depending on cost. Sounds great if you can still use access mode, that's a must for me.

    Good question, I checked my mileage log and must be around 35,000 mile by now.

    Project Victory_Overland 08 LR3 Build Thread!

    I've got the full orange Poly kit installed on my 2006 LR3 since 2014. Good thing you're doing it yourself because labor on that job is expe$ive as heck. My review is this: my truck now feels like a large heavy sports car. The ride is very firm and almost harsh at times (on bumps) when I run...

    Project Victory_Overland 08 LR3 Build Thread!

    So, you have Rover Specialties sliders, I do too. I was wondering exactly what you did to move the right side slider back by 1/8". My front right tire rubs too and if it's not too big a job I may do what you're doing. Does this cause any issue at the rear tire or is there plenty of room to...

    LR4 Hidden Winch Install Estimate

    The other thing to do if you haven't seen it is watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o_lwhNRInY it's the guys at Tactical 4x4 removing the plastic and installing a metal bumper on an LR3 which should be same/or very similar. This was my personal tutorial for installing my T4x4 bumper.

    LR3 OEM Rack and Thule T bolts

    www.etrailer.com is totally the way to go for the LR rack. I bought bought a bunch of these: https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories_and_Parts/Thule/853208904.html and these: https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories_and_Parts/Thule/853-7557.html This gives me some flexibility if I want to run a bolt...

    LR4 Hidden Winch Install Estimate

    If you haven't seen this thread yet, it explains exactly what you need to do. Save your hard earned money for more accessories and toys and do the install yourself. It's really not that hard. You can do it over a weekend and learn more about your truck in the process. Oh, and make sure you use...

    Colb's Red Rover

    Ditto for me too, can't figure out how to turn off the light and stop the beeping.

    Colb's Red Rover

    1) I read (I think on this forum) about the Lucky8 LR3 guys using a Defender washer bottle that is in the same/similar spot to original and will preserve that nice open space in front of the auxiliary battery box for your on-board air, etc. 2) I have the Tactical 4x4 front and rear bumpers and...

    2006 LR3 build

    I bought my 2006 with just under 70k miles on it in 2013. I pretty much immediately rebuilt then replaced (a year later) the air compressor for the suspension as preventative maintenance. When people mention the control arms they are referring the the bushings which wear out quickly on a...

    Transmission Maintenance

    johnnydal, I have been reading of people here in the states using the two piece metal pan and filter on their LR3's for the last 3 years and nobody has had any issues. As you have already seen, Atlantic British is now carrying a kit or two so you don't need to source the pan/filter anymore. One...

    LR3 Alternator Replacement

    I need some help here: So my alternator on my 2006 LR3 went out over the weekend and I'm looking at alternatives. Autozone has a cheapy reman for $188 that I could have in hand today, and ebay has a high amp (250amp) for $224 here...

    LR3 Front bumper options

    My vote is for the Tactical 4x4 front bumper (I've also got the rear bumper). For me it came down to the ARB or T4x4 and I chose the Tactical bumper because of the open access to the winch tray and because you can simply roll out the headlights to do maintenance (with the ARB you need to remove...

    Discovery 1 1997 - door lock issues

    Excellent reply mpinco, beat me to it. I've replaced this very spring in the rear door of my 98 disco, and now it actually opens after 6 months of being permanently shut. Fun times! WORD OF ADVICE - TAKE PICTURES of the linkage, lots and lots of pictures so you are able to put it all back...

    Suspension Fault

    So, the garage you went to is in Minneapolis, MN? Your profile says your in San Diego. I'm in Minneapolis too and have a Nanocom Evo licensed for LR3's (works on ALL LR3's regardless of VIN#). What shop did you go to out of curiosity? I would highly recommend Expedition Autoworks in St. Louis...

    Suspension Fault

    You really need a code reader and let us know the codes. Know anyone with an IID Tool, Nanocom Evolution, Auto Logic, etc to get the codes read? It could be many many things causing a fault.

    The DiscoDavis Discovery 3 Build Thread

    I've got the TR rear bumper (front too) and the swing out arm is supposed to rest on Top of the plastic block and the adjustable latching u-bolt should be straight up and down. I've wheeled plenty off-road both here in MN and in Moab and have never had it accidentally release. Just make sure the...

    2016 Land Rover National Rally in Moab, UT Sept 19-23

    7 Mile Rim!! I was on that trek with you. My wife and I were in the silver LR3 with snorkel, and red Jerry's on top. I really liked this trail as it had a little bit of everything from Rock, slickrock, to sand.

    LLAMS goes full Viagra

    This certainly is disappointing to hear about. I use the LLAMS as my lift for off-roading and to lower going into the garage. I keep my Johnson rods in the glove box as emergency back up. I'll be heading to Moab in 2 weeks for the rally and hope to not have any issues with any points of my EAS...
