If that's true that is VERY promising. If it turns out to be a decent vehicle my parents are looking to sell the SWB Toyota Prado(the chassis of the FJ Crusier for people in the States but diesel and weird looking) for the 90. Their Pardo now has done 3 seperate trips around/across Australia.

There's some good and some bad things in that article if it is true. This is the Lamest and one reason why the VW Amarok automatic in Aus as an offroader didn't sell too well, "Land Rover wouldn’t be drawn to confirm whether low-range transfer gearing would be available, or whether the first...

What trail was this? Been planning a trip to the eastern sierras now the the snow has melted. I will starting at Monache Meadows area and heading up to Mammoth exploring areas like Buttermilk, Coyote Flat, Laurel lakes ect on the way up.

Holy damn that's an expensive bar even after the conversion from New Zealand pesos and GST in NZ is 15%!

Some day time pics of the damage, It doesn't look that bad and missed the chassis rail. The inner drive shaft boot is mega destroyed and there is a ton of oil leaking out of the diff housing so that took a big hit and mine has the locking diff too.

Hahaha, thought about it, looked at GX460/70, 4Runners and FJs and all don't come anywhere near the ability, comfort, features at any where near the same price as the LR3/4. I do all my own mechanical work and my LR3 has been as reliable as any other car I have owned with the same mileage. I...

Yeah, going to pull that stuff off the car on Saturday. Going to pick all the accessories off it up this afternoon or tomorrow morning and yeah will be going straight on the new one once I find one. The shops/insurance quote to fix it was around $12k, I rang the shop as asked how much to fix...

Car was deemed a write off this morning. So now the hunt for another LR3 or early LR4 is on with simular specs to what I had which will be very difficult.

I was rear ended/clipped last night by a drunk/high driver last night and the LR3 came out on top(almost literately). And I had just spent most the day replacing thermostat/coolant pipes and clock spring. Everyone in my car was fine and the driver in the Merc was actually fine too. The driver...

I use the long stock hitch with a Yakima bike rack and it doesn't touch the spare tyre at all.

I have 275/65 Ko2s, the rear rubs at full compression no matter how much "lift" you put into Gaptool as you need the proud rhino kit or longer bump stops to do that. Mine has light rubbing in the rear, nothing worth heating/cutting up the lining. Front doesn't rub at all. Other people have had...

My plastic T exploded today, it was in about 15 pieces when I removed the engine cover. I noticed the water got to the just under the little white line before the red line on the temp gauge pulled over straight away and turned the engine off and let it cool. Hopefully the engine is ok, my...

Very much. The designers have not been doing much since the concept car.... Just added a few of the current styling points of the current range, dusted their hands and went home.

If it is the airline for the locker that is extremely bad placement. The first rock/log/mound will remove that very quickly with out a guard. The more info that is coming out the more I like it. I can see why there is a lot of hate for it as its not the original but I believe this will sell a...

Glass roof is quite rare in Australia, even on the HSE. Where in the US, because they were going for the lux market every 3/4 came with it. The LR3 I have here in the US I don't think could have bought it in Aus in the same spec. When I was looking to move back to Aus I couldn't find one in...

Gear Patrol just put a review of the Low Pro up https://gearjunkie.com/tepui-low-pro-rooftop-tent-review']https://gearjunkie.com/tepui-low-pro-rooftop-tent-review

In the BLM land around Joshua Tree.

No these aren't boosted but have a highish compression ratio for a V8(10.8ish). I thought the higher octane requirement was to do with the lower sulfur content in the fuel compared with lower octanes to pass emissions. Running lower octane may(in extreme cases) clog the EGR and emissions...

I wanted the Rhino rack because it is slimmer and holds similar weights to the Front Runner but every dealer in Los Angeles said 2-3 weeks wait to get it in stock. I called front runner and had it fitted the next day(which is lucky for me that FR is just down the road). The FR feels super tuff...

bungee cord length 29", total with clips 33". They are only to hold the sides in to making closing it up easier. They didn't make much of a difference in high wind.
