    Gen 3 Timing Belt job + spark plugs check list (3.8L)

    Lol, I was only asking to see if offering help was realistic. If you are south of LA and north of SD, I’d be willing to help. I am in OC

    OME Suspension for Rubicon 4 door

    Wow, blast from the past. Depending on who you buy from and the completeness of the OME kit, they come with things like extended length track bars, bump stops, etc... all bolt on. I’ve never had to use a spring compressor, just several floor jacks, pry bars and a buddy to stand on the hub to...

    Decisions, decisions

    One thing the aluminum rack owners haven’t mentioned is the rattling. Anything loose or even the end of a strap can whip about and make that rack sing a VERY annoying loud rattle. Not so with the steel Baja rack.

    Recommendation for a regear shop in SoCal?

    I really like John at All4Wheel, but he's not the cheapest or the fastest, and his shop is in Corona.

    Factory Gen 2.5 Torsion Bars for Lift?

    I agree with Toasty, cranking the t-bars is very easy, just make sure to measure before and after, and adjust both sides the same amount (same number of turns). Putting on 33's changes your ride so much, you won't notice any incremental increase in spring compression.

    LR3 Repair Woes - Upside O2 Sensor stuck

    Man, reading stuff like this makes me cringe. Go buy the O2 sensor on Amazon, take it to a muffler shop. Even if they need to cut out the old and rethread you are only talking about a few hundred dollars.

    Monty Just Died. I think.....

    I am not personally knowledgeable about this, but i’ve heard the 2003 and later 3rd Gen’s can injest the screws that’s operate the intake butterfly valves. That kinda sounds like what happened. I suspect this would result in bent valves, which is a pretty major repair, but if you tear it down...

    Better 6p tent than an REI basecamp? Need stormproof and good ventilation.

    Springbar is heavy duty canvas. I can't imagine what that would be like to to put away wet, and sandy.
