    Project Victory_Overland 08 LR3 Build Thread!

    Hey man, I knew you had asked the question about ordering stuff to me before, see comment #34 & #39 HERE. My suggestion for the parts remains the same. I would source your pricing from Landrover Merriam Parts and then see how much AB will price match. In most cases it isn't a ton, just a few...

    LR3 Alternator Replacement

    @454 Have you found anyone that will rebuild your original unit? If so, do you mind passing that info along? The only place I have found is Quality Power out in CA and they want around $300 to make it a High Output model like the ebay one. @Johnsoax you might check out RayG build thread...

    LR3 Alternator Replacement

    Hey unseenone, do you happen to have any contact info for the "Powermax USA" alternator you guys got off ebay? I got a quote from Quality Power HERE to rebuild my existing one and upgrade it to 250amp for $295. So I was going to see if I could get a hold of Powermax and see if they could do it...

    LR3 Alternator Replacement

    jymmiejamz That was it, spot on. I feel slightly dumb for not even thinking about that when I have cleaned throttle bodies before. Regardless, thank you! unseenone Yeah, I haven't taken just the alternator in by itself yet, but it might still be good other than the diode. Either way I am going...

    LR3 Alternator Replacement

    So, Thought I would have a nice peaceful end to an otherwise stressful week Friday. Was heading to the gym and thought, "lets get a quick car wash, get the salt off". So ran by the car wash, got through it and was wiping it down when the car just shut off. Backstory, the battery light had been...

    Super Loaded LR3 Control Arm Questions

    Ah... I see. I ended up with RRS LCAs, bushing nuts/bolts/cams, and the ball joint nut. Nothing else was ordered per what I diagnosed and advice on here and other places. There was no corrosion nor any issue removing the shock bolt or the hub nut. The hub nut is the only thing that I would have...

    Super Loaded LR3 Control Arm Questions

    Thank you! I did not, I emailed them and they list very plainly on their price match page how to price match and order online. In hindsight, calling probably would have saved a solid half-day in terms of processing. Because I had 4-5 back/forth emails with the sales rep. ABs service is great...

    Super Loaded LR3 Control Arm Questions

    I was wondering if that was the case. When I clicked through all their social media options everything I got took me to Aristocrat Motors. Then I started putting it together. Either way, I got genuine RRS arms for a great price. Update: I replaced the front LCAs yesterday, doing about 80% of...

    Super Loaded LR3 Control Arm Questions

    Yeah, I asked him twice and mentioned multiple times it was a LR3 and $125 was his answer. I guess they are banking on it either it being all 'new' parts and an easy alignment or being so far out that they have to replace parts. In which case the alignment would only be a small fraction of the...

    Super Loaded LR3 Control Arm Questions

    Good news: Talked to the service guys at my LR Dealer and they quoted me $125 for the 4 wheel alignment. Which I thought was pretty freaking fantastic. Bad News: They're booked out through the end of November and the next closest dealer is 2 hours away. Indifferent News: I now have plenty of...

    Super Loaded LR3 Control Arm Questions

    So, after getting her up in the air and pulling a front and rear wheel off it's part of what I expected. The front lowers are toast, can put a bar on the front lower rear-bush and get A LOT of play, but surprisingly the sway bar bushes, sway links, and tie-rods are all good. No play or movement...

    Super Loaded LR3 Control Arm Questions

    Quick question. Do you all usually buy a new air Strut bolt like you do with the control arm bolts or is it not really an area of concern? I notice that most of the 'bolt kits' are just the control arm bolts and cams. Which leads me to believe that the air strut connection doesn't suffer from...

    Also, have any of you used this site to purchase parts? They have pretty reasonable prices, at least at the items I am considering, but I am not finding a lot of information on them. "Land Rover Merriam Parts and Accessories" https://landrovermerriamparts.com/ For example Front Right Lower...

    Super Loaded LR3 Control Arm Questions

    So after a lot of deliberation, reading, and hearing everyone else's experiences, I have made my decision. The plan is to do the Front Lowers with '06-'09 RRS Arms, LR029306G and LR029304G specifically(correct me if wrong) and the Front Sway bushings. That will hopefully be done two weekends...

    I dug through and found the threads you were mentioning and have bookmarked them. Hope to get through them this evening. I was slightly preoccupied by Game 7 of the World Series last night to absorb a lot of info. Thankfully the ARB is already on there and of no issues currently. The previous...
