    My LR3 lightweight storage platform build (UPDATED: actual dimensions on pg 4)

    Having used my platform for over a year now I decided to make a significant change to it. The one gripe I've had over the past year of using it is the center support that splits the bottom portion into two sections. This restricts what can be placed under there as whatever it is you want to...

    Campsite Lighting

    I personally still use Coleman white gas & kero lanterns. I mostly utilize the 500 candle power (CP) lanterns which include the Coleman 237 (Kero), 236(WG), 639(Kero) and the Northstar(WG). Typically 2 of these 500 CP lanterns are enough to light up any large camp site. Get 6-8 of them and you...

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    I third the recommendation to switch all the interior lights to LEDs. You'll be very surprised with how many interior lights there actually are: Domes (3) , Maps (6) , front foot wells (2), under door (4), glove box (1). Ended up costing me $186 from superbrightleds.com, however worth every...

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

    I completely agree with this statement. Proud Rhino or Lucky8 should be detailing exactly how these straps should be installed.

    Defender Kit on LR3/4 Disco 3/4 vehicles

    Interesting, mine aligned perfectly. Maybe the bumper was not assembled correctly (last one on a Friday before happy hour ;) ) or your LR3 was in a collision that knocked the mount points off a bit. I suspect probably the latter as the bumpers are likely fabricated on a jig

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

    So if I understand correctly the stud snapped simply by removing the nut?? Makes me wonder how well these studs are going to hold up on trails with some of the more severe forces they'll see..

    Defender Kit on LR3/4 Disco 3/4 vehicles

    What part of the ARB bumper install did you not find as "bolt on"? I found it actually quite easy to install if you followed the instructions step by step....sure a little time consuming but very straight forward. As I recall the only thing that wasn't "bolt on" was the cut you had to make to...

    LR3 rock crawling carnage

    ah wheels spacers where involved here? I see them now in the pictures....good eye catching that. those definitely will add to greater stress on the suspension components.

    LR3 rock crawling carnage

    Don, I know over on the Proud Rhino! The SYA Off Road Extension Kit thread that you had purchased one of these kits. I'm curious, did you have it installed when this strut end snapped? If so, I'm wondering if somehow the extension kit put added stress in some way on the strut. Also did you...

    Do you have any idea as to what the difference is between the Deka Intimidator 9A49 and the Deka Ultimate 9AGM49 is? They look to be the exact same specs

    Is there a vin decoder to tell me if an LR3 has the hd package?

    you can also simply call any Land Rover Dealership's Service department and they will gladly run a VIN check to see if the VIN has the HD package. When I was searching for my LR3 with HD the LR Dealership in San Jose, CA must have check well over 100 VINs for me over a 3-4 month period. This...
