After the clunk kept getting worse, I put this kit on my LR3 nearly two years ago. My control arms were pretty shot, so I don't have a direct comparison to OEM quality, but the ride is slightly stiffer and there is subtly more vibration than before. Quality may be up in the air; I personally...

That thing is slick – really clean looking setup with the bumper! Glad to see you're getting out there and enjoying the truck. I'm going camping in the Three Sisters area in a few hours, so plenty of Land Rover shenanigans await this weekend.

Having recently added a lot of bulk to mine, this has been on my mind as well. Adding the rear bumper no noticeable difference for fuel economy, but since I put the front bumper/winch on in December, it's taken a noticeable hit - down roughly 1.5 - 2mpg average. The weight is also more...

That looks awesome – the propane tank storage on top was a great addition too! I'll be interested to see how the side tables turn out as I've been thinking about something similar for mine. Do you plan to incorporate any sort of lighting for your license plate?

Very cool – looking forward to seeing the ARB mounted up! How's it treating you so far?

Earlier this week my wife made a fateful comment: “I’m really not interested in Land Rover things.” Now what exactly are Land Rover things? The truck itself, or all the accessories - steel bumpers and gizmos that go along with it? I think it’s much more than that. After that comment I took...

I was recently in the same position and for me it ultimately came down to either a Discovery I or an LR3. In the end, the 3 won out because of space, creature comforts and more modern refinement, but I probably would have loved a DI in a different way. If you're looking at DIs, it may be worth...

Christmas came early! In the next few weeks the LR3 is getting a steel front bumper along with some extra lighting (Baja Designs LP6 Pro x2 and Squadron Amber fog lights) and a Warn Zeon 10-S winch. After looking around for a long time, I finally dove in with all the recent discounts. I'm...

Over the weekend, the LR3 got new front lower control arms with orange poly-bushings along with new sway bar poly-bushings (Lucky8 kit). All the other front suspension bits had plenty of life left in them, so now it just needs to be driven more – 71k miles and counting. The old bushings were...

It's a ton of truck for the money! You're in the right place to have your choice confirmed as we're all crazy enough to have embarked on this adventure ourselves. Long story short: find a well-cared for example, take care of it, enjoy it, and it will love you back. (Although your mileage may...

FWIW, I paid $125 for a clean rim with minimal curb rash, so maybe you can talk them down a bit. Given what they run on eBay $600 isn't that bad though.

Congrats on your purchase – you really scored with that! It's a beauty and a great find with those packages and ultra-low mileage. ? You're smart to do all the fluids right off the bat and I'm sure the rig and your future self will thank you for it. I just ordered the poly RRS LCAs and excited...

It really is crazy – these things are meant to be driven. Hit me up if you're down in the Eug or would like to go on an adventure, whether it's in the LR or the Lexus!

Part of the motivation of getting the LR3 was to get us out and on the road more. It's worked. Here's some shots of our recent trip from Oregon to Southern California. I've done the I5 corridor drive enough that I never have to do it again, so we took a scenic inland route, passing through...

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! @Ray_G - Preventative maintenance has been on my agenda and I'm wondering where to go. I'm in a somewhat strange position as the rig has low miles (currently 69k), but is still 11+ years old. At this age all the rubbery plastic bits are becoming more...

Having recently gone through the purchasing process myself, I will echo much of what's been said here – these are really special vehicles and nothing else quite comes close. One potential seller I chatted with described his relationship with the truck and ultimately decided not to keep it. I'm...

Top picture is in Montana, lower one is off the Steens Mountain Loop – highly recommended if you haven't checked it out already!

Hey Ben, your setup looks awesome! The Prospeed rack looks great, and cool that you got all their other accessories! How much of drop in fuel economy did you notice after installing the rack and awning? I was hung up on the idea of getting the Prospeed mounts for the awning, but your solution...

After lurking on here for a long time, I bought an '08 LR3 SE back in April. I've been a closet Land Rover fan since I was a kid – my grandpa had an RRC and then a '94 Discovery I – so roving runs in the family. I just never realized how much fun I'd have with my very own Rover! I bought it...
