    @Carson G Wait, do you mean modify the suspension on a new vehicle, or buy aftermarket parts, or tailor my vehicle to my needs and desires? How dare you; this is lunacy and that would mean we are doing what Jeep, Ford, Toyota, Dodge, Bollinger, Tesla, Lexus, Acura, Cadillac, Chevy, list goes...

    Nobody is trolling or busting on Jeeps here; we all actually opening and you can quote us on the fact we say they are awesome. Yet, a few of the members here seem to think they are the same vehicle and they are not; not even the same class even though Jeep Wrangler is also an SUV....boo hoo. ON...

    LR3 upgrades options what to do

    The 4.4 has the alternator down low which is a water issue; there are alternator water proofing kits out there but d@mn they are expensive and I wish there was a relocation option but might have to go custom. Regardless, its just one of the things that can legit leave you stranded no matter...

    If I lived in NorCal or Colorado mountain access areas I would daily drive a Subaru or all-wheel drive vehicle for sure; the lifestyle and the environment is best suited for all-around vehicles of this nature.

    Nope, not what I said; I said if you are going by specs, then the stock Jeep can't do it either. You are saying a vehicle can't do something that nobody has attempted to do it with yet; give it a break the vehicles are just barely being delivered and once again; nobody put on the label the...

    LR3 upgrades options what to do

    My parts/spares kit is very similar and in a small Pelican that never leaves the truck. On that note, my trail kit has two major components and the tools to do it on the trail; not that they are specific to JLR failures but they are specific to almost any high mileage vehicle and high use items...

    LR3 Fault Codes... Any of these super concerning?

    Without knowing your vehicle history, nothing jumps out of concern to me. ON that note, I'm not sure of the iLand Tool capabilities but if you have flash capability like the GAP, I'd do a general tune up at 200k and reflash those ECU and zero out the learned memory. Like many modern vehicles...

    Posts are too consistent with other Trolls on the site to and a "new Member" with the same amount of valid knowledge; coincidence......I think not. Bone stock Jeep, not lifted Rubicon doesn't make any of those trails either then if you believe your clearance specs and out of the box...

    LR3 upgrades options what to do

    Not sure the FASkit is worth all that money if you have the time to build your own. I have all the parts in my bin for a similar field kit I planned to install a while back and I think all of my parts were less than $75USD. Not taking away the quality of their kit, just saying if you plan for...

    Was about to comment on that being a pretty decent price for that tent if sold by Autohome via JLR.......might want to price check hard top RTT.....looks pretty close to ballpark range. Boom Boom Boom.........picking the right partners says there is a confidence level on both sides. And...

    Your $2276 is about $1k shy of our median partner and our JLR is right on the same blocks in SoCal just as every other dealership; Domestic and International in almost every city except the Bujjjjjjjj you must be used to. So we should fault JLR from wanting to sell an overpriced vehicle to...

    LR3 upgrades options what to do

    Didn't see it but if you do not own a GAP Tool, it should be your very FIRST purchase! Kit out per your needs after; looks like you have tires and are not a-scared to use your LR3 so maybe some sliders after you decide on EAS/COIL refresh.

    LR3 Engine Stall, Vapor Lock

    Do you have a GAP Tool were you can view and log LIVE VALUES? Although I would say that you would throw a CEL you can look at short and long term fuel metering which will help isolate a few more issues with sensors, fuel management, EVAP, etc. EVAP usually by my experience throws a CEL after...

    Yeah, I'll say it again!!!!!! Straight up rock-crawling in a bone stock Defender, no sliders, or upgrades of any sort and doing really really really awesome work with an experienced driver and a spotter who are still working out the techniques on a new vehicle. That trail is far more...

    Slight modifications to that brush bar could make it an mid-entry protection until a full bull-bar is available. If it bolts to the winch mount frame than the structure is there; reinforcement or solid plate instead of tube would provide protection for 80% (if not more) of peoples uses on...

    Very small camping toilet?

    Bought one last year or more ago and still going strong; its cardboard so will degrade if it gets wet so be careful but is degradable so meets all the specs. I have poo-powder for the bags if I need to toss it or whatever rule I need to abide by at the time. Pretty good kit and very compact...
