I didn't measure the hit from my rack, but I'm also running a lower profile rack than most so those with the big 'ol Baja Racks or similar 'expedition' style racks will certainly feel it more than me.

Interested as well....just snapped a set of TractionJacks....time to man up and get the real deal.

This one is easy - the marine world has been doing it for decades. The amazon link above is basically just a 'trolling motor' charger inlet used on bass boats. Look at Marinco or Hubble's line of marine shore power connections. The smallest/most common is 30amp/120v and should more than power...

A couple of reasons. First, it has a slightly oddball charging profile that doesn't jive well with the Rover. I could drive cross-country and never top it off. (I believe this is the root cause of Sears discontinuing this battery under the DieHard AGM Platinum name) 2nd, it's developed small...

On the one hand, $100+ for a set of lug nuts just seems wrong. On the other, it's actually cheaper than most of the competition. And on the third (3 hands???) I think $100 is fair trade for not dealing with those ridiculous stamped metal caps. Who's brilliant idea was that anyway? Do keep...

Nice work. I don't run a dual battery set-up as I don't base camp that often and I've installed my air compressors in that location. But I am running a group 31 as my primary battery. I currently have an Odyssey in there but I'm about to change to a NorthStar. One thing to be aware of...

I'm confused - what's all that fluffy white stuff? Can't be snow - I've seen snow. It's hard and icy and packs up like a solid wall when you drive on/into it. That stuff seemed to let you drive THROUGH it. Can't be snow... OK, maybe I'm a little jealous. There's a reason they call what we...

So you're going to bring that thing to the Rubicon with us this summer right? If I can do it anybody can! :)

Can't say enough about the iiD tool - get it and never leave home without it. On bumpers I'm running an ARB and wish I had gone with the Tactical. My ARB wasn't a 'bolt on' - it required use of a sawzall, grinder, and welder. When questioned about the fitment issues ARB-USA's response came...

uhm....isn't something missing in that picture?

I've come across an RRC for sale a little south of Portland, OR. I'm interested but can't get up there for a couple weeks at best. Anybody here in that area who might be able to put eyes on it and give me a quicky report? If so, send me a PM or just email me directly at zelatore1@gmail.com...

I also just noticed you're running an '05. That makes things even easier since the frame horns at the rear of the front wheel wells should be removable on you truck vs. welded on the later models.

I ran Duratracs in 275/65 for a couple years, though I ran with the usual trimming and rods. It's late and I'm not on a real computer so I'm not up to doing a full write up...it's all been covered many times anyway. The short of it is the smaller 265/65 is (imho) the go-to size for the LR3...

Nick, Dan, and now Chris back to back to back. It looks like NCLR in here!

I agree - unless you are winching A LOT you're stock alternator and battery should be able to handle the typical extraction. Now if you're in deep water and can't run the engine, or doing multiple pulls back to back to back I can see that you may run the battery down but I've never seen anybody...

I'd have to agree with perkj - these trucks are prone to lifting a wheel anyway when off-road; they simply don't flex like an old solid axle rig. I understand the biggest risk is to the rear CVs, but that's from talk with Lucky8, not direct experience. While I don't like the design of the...

BTW, I'd take the iiD tool before the rods, Llams, or just about anything else on my Rover. It was the first thing I bought for it, other than a set of 18" wheels. To steel a line, 'Don't leave home without it'.

I installed the Llams tool as an experiment. The idea sounded good, but in practice it doesn't suite my needs so well so I put the rods back on. Now I'll experiment with running on the highway with the rods and the Llams at the low setting and see how that works with my current tires. I have...

Thanks George, she's always a work in progress. At least until I start building up the RRC behind it, then I suspect the mods will slow on the LR3. There's plenty of info here on the LR3, certainly one of the more popular Rovers these days.

If you can't find any bubbles with it in off-road height using the soapy water then the most likely culprits are the front valve block or a strut leaking internally. It sounds like you've done the 'pull the fuses' trick to isolate it to just the front but you'er still dropping both sides of the...
