    New product from Proud Rhino! The SYA Off Road Extension Kit

    I have put in a 2nd battery and with the ARB compressor behind the passenger headlight and the LR4 dual intakes now it's a battle of where to move the washer fluid tank for the front bumper install... Eric at tactical has said a guy used a d90 bottle and shoehorned it into their bumper but that...

    New product from Proud Rhino! The SYA Off Road Extension Kit

    So true, every time I do something on the truck that I have to figure out (where to mount ARB compressor, LR4 dual intakes suck) I think about the 2-3 brackets made for a jeep to mount it and am seriously jealous (then I remember what it is like to even sit in a jeep and feel better) Wish I...

    LR3 Coil Conversion Upper Strut Mount Busted

    It's interesting (probably not) that those are made from rubber? I would expect some type of bearing there for durability? Or is that not the best way based on the intended use of that kit?

    Our Colorado backcountry adventure in a rental Sportsmobile

    Thanks for the write up scoutman, as a new parent it's great to see how people are getting out with their kids... I am sure the sportsmobile makes it just a little more comfortable and easier for everyone...

    air suspension fun and games, LR3

    I think we all obsess over the air suspension, I had a high altitude trip recently and thought it was the compressor running when it was really the exhaust damper rubbing on my transfer case skid. (Finally put that to bed this afternoon) That said I recently pulled the fuse to disable the auto...

    Fixing skid plates?

    Thanks for the advice, a BFH seems to be the consensus for the plate as it is powder coated... I'm interested to see if I can bend the mounting tab, will post results after this weekend.

    Damaged by the Dusy

    Love this trip report! Made me tired just reading and looking at that trail!!! Would love to do the Dusy one day, but not in the LR4... Thanks for writing!!!

    Fixing skid plates?

    Bent the transfer case skid plate on my truck, now it vibrates when idling due to the exhaust (what appears to be some type of harmonic damper) rubbing on the plate... wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations for bending 3/16th plate steel back, oh, and a mounting ear on my cross member.

    Post pictures of your Land Rover.

    Glad you didn't pay a steep price on reverse (pun intended)! I am not 100% sure on cinnamon vs engineer as my brother in law did the shooting from a second vehicle and I was largely unaware that I was being photographed (sans the obvious ones), great trip, the San Juans are as awesome as...

    LR4 engine issues?

    I've owned an LR3 and currently use an LR4, the motor in the LR4 is light years ahead of the LR3, changing the oil in LR4 is also far easier... All that said I drove the LR3 for 74k before getting the LR4 which now has 56k and never had any issues with either V8... No experience on SCV6.

    LR3 Coil Conversion Upper Strut Mount Busted

    I just had the truck up at high altitude and the hitachi in my lr4 ran enough that I was paranoid (IID Tool can't fix a fried compressor motor), in the back of my mind I was thinking of doing a coil setup my whole trip, I am curious what your thoughts are and to see exactly what failed...

    RR v. LR differences?

    I can't comment on the aftermarket, you can use the standard lift rods for the EAS but past that it does not seem like there is much support. Coming from a cruiser your world is going to get a lot smaller in terms of who makes things for the LR3/RR, there is no Slee equivalent for Land Rover (in...

    Another LR3 tire question

    I ended up with the KO2, they are great, but check how much balance weight is inside each wheel when you are getting ready to leave, I have 1 that has several ounces on it, I have seen other people have the same issue, too bad I figured this out after 3k miles...

    Lr4 roof rack

    These clear the antenna and you still get satellite radio? That was the reason I didn't pull the trigger on the front runner rack recently, I really like satellite radio and didn't know if it would work..?

    Very cool, love the bearing design, always jealous of what a bed in a full size can hold!

    LR3 Suspension and Compressor

    How quickly do you need this to be out of your possession? I live in TX but my family is a short drive away in Tampa, I will be back down in a month or two and could pickup then... Does this include the front and rear valve blocks?

    Smitten by Land Rover, Heart says yes Brain...ehhhhh

    This is the bigger rebuild kit I have used, basically takes apart the whole compressor, I combined it with the $40 Land Rover rebuild kit to completely refurbish the compressor, the desiccant can be renewed but replacing it while servicing the rest of the unit is the easiest route to me. (Plus...

    Smitten by Land Rover, Heart says yes Brain...ehhhhh

    So true, genuine parts while expensive seem to be the only thing these trucks like. The IID tool is incredible, I would recommend springing for the Bluetooth model, the phone app is awesome. Also the entire shop manuals for Land Rover are avaialable on TOPIX for a small fee, I use this all the...
