    An introduction to my new LR3

    It has been a few years since I owned the GX but here is what sticks in my memory: On road: GX had more body roll (especially as the variable shocks started to fail) GX had better acceleration and power delivery thanks to really good variable valve timing LR3 and GX have very similar upright...

    An introduction to my new LR3

    I've been slowly getting things knocked out on the truck - bulbs, clearing some faults, dug into the factory racks and cleaned out 11 years of tree crap. Last night I installed (one) of the Terrafirma LR3 sliders with tree bars. ;) The passenger side went on crazy easy; the driver side, not...

    LR3 Buildout

    Solid set of upgrades. Having just done my LCAs I'm really curious about the poly bushing ride.

    2011 LR4 - potential purchase / newb question

    Get a pre-purchase inspection. Best $200 you will ever spend. I just bought an LR3 and the PPI caught a few things that were little now but could have been a big headache down the road and were very specific to the platform not visible to the naked eye, and not something I would have caught...

    An introduction to my new LR3

    Just got my truck back from my local indy - LCAs, fluids, tires, wheels, alignment, coolant bleed valve. I had previously deleted the running boards at home - thus the free nature. There are a couple little things I need to tidy up with a good clean, new air filters, and wiper blades which will...

    An introduction to my new LR3

    Free nature with my LR3 purchase. I was removing the running boards and found an absolutely incredible amount of leaves, needles and acorns. Three heaping dustpans full. ?‍♂️

    An introduction to my new LR3

    I visually inspected both fuses and they weren't blown, I may just replace them and hit them with some dielectric grease to see if it's a fault.

    An introduction to my new LR3

    There is a junker out in Gresham that has a couple LR3s that have stock 18s. I called and they want $600 for a set of four which felt a little steep seeing as I think they have some curb rash and damage from crimp on weights. However, wheels and tires will hold up LCA, lift and alignment...

    An introduction to my new LR3

    After some major lurking and research the past few weeks on a bunch of LR forums, time to introduce myself and my new truck. As of Sunday, I closed a deal on a two-owner 2008 LR3 with 54,000 miles. The vehicle was traded into a Mercedes-Benz dealer here in Oregon and lived its life in the PNW...

    LR3 Buildout

    Really nice looking truck. I'm a fellow Oregonian - I actually grew up in Eugene - that is about to add a Zermatt silver LR3 to my stable. The truck I am buying is an 2008 with 55K on it, crazy how little some of these have been driven 11 years later.
