    Project Victory_Overland 08 LR3 Build Thread!

    In my opinion, 0.75" Spacers are the way to go. They will give you plenty of clearance to run whatever width tire you want without requiring a lot of modifications to your fender liners, fender flares, frame horns, and front bumper. Adding spacers increases the amount of travel forward and back...

    Project Victory_Overland 08 LR3 Build Thread!

    I would put the LR4 facelift on it. It's gonna be about the same price for the front clip either way, might as well make it look a couple years newer. Second the IID tool.

    Tablet mount in an LR3

    Yeah. I wish I had taken photos of the process but I was in the zone. Step 1 is to cut the white plastic part off of the apple adapter. I did it by using a file to cut the wide flat side of the adapter until you can see the grey plastic under the white. Here is an image where the person cut the...

    Tablet mount in an LR3

    Finally pulled the trigger on my ipad install. instead of using the iPad cradle I bought a ruggedized case that had a similar asthetic to the rest of the LR3 interior so that I could leave the iPad in there permanently and not worry too much about it. I figure, as long as it looks similar to...

    LR3 brake kit recombination?

    I went with the Wagner Ceramic pads as well. The work great and there is pretty much no brake dust.

    Tablet mount in an LR3

    There's no where to suction one of those in the cubby. Plus your iPad would go flying the second you hit a bump with a magnet mount. Leave the magnets and suction cups for your rental car.

    Tablet mount in an LR3

    That base i linked is actually to attach to the back of the iPad mini cradle. The mount I already have bolted in the cubby wont change. It is very solid, I'm not worried about it handling more weight.

    Tablet mount in an LR3

    I use this space for an iPhone 6 mount but I am thinking about upgrading it to an ipad mini to stay in the truck permanently. I bolted a 1" ram ball inside the cubby. I went straight threw the rubber mat. The holes I drilled in the mat are small enough that if I remove the mount you won't be...

    Roof Rack Fun

    Yep. Every time I get an oil change it seems like they they shear off another bolt from the engine skid plate. I'd do it myself if I actually had a garage to do it, but instead I have to trust local shops.

    LR3 Suspension Fault

    Why are you trying to change the height calibration manually? Is your truck not sitting level at the stock settings? You are supposed to base your re-calibration in the IID tool based on physical measurements from the center of the wheel to the top of the fender flare, not the values already...

    Does this LR3 have a Johnson Rod kit?

    Yep, gonna need some new TPMS sensors. Also, either it was debadged at one point or something happened to the rear. The position and alignment of "LR3" and "V8 SE" are not factory.

    Does this LR3 have a Johnson Rod kit?

    Doubt it. You can see in the picture of the shift lever that it is in extended height mode. The tires don't seem very over-sized either.

    Discovery 3 (LR3) and Discovery 4 (LR4) Registry

    Agreed. The shape of the LR4 is so unique compared to other SUVs. Painting it black really does it a disservice.

    Monday Mods, 06 LR3 HD/SE

    Do you know the par numbers for the LR4 nozzles? Sounds like a good upgrade. Much lr3 shoots and dribbles everywhere.

    LR3 2005 vs Newer With More Miles

    Find out if either of them has had the compressor replaced. I believe you are still working with the ****ty Hitachi compressor in '05-'06. If neither have been replaced, keep at least $600 in your budget for a new AMK compressor to replace it. If one has, there is your winner. The '06 @ 80K is...

    Looks pretty good. Get some new center caps for those wheels.

    LR4 Extended Rail Roof Rack Options

    I put the $200 ebay china special extended roof rails on my LR3. They look pretty good but they definitely have their downsides. -The rubber gasket on the front edge was uneven. I ended up using a scissors to trim them smooth so that it would look ok. Not a big problem, but an extra step...

    Date code on TPMS?

    Does anyone know how to figure out the age of a TPMS sensor? I don't have a reader/scanner but was hoping I would be able to determine the date of manufacture based on some of the codes printed on the sensor itself. I've read that sensors have a lifespan of 8-10 years, and since these 315Mhz...

    Which Diehard Platinum for '08 Range and an '06 LR3

    I'm having issues with my interstate now after only 2 years. HDC/Transmission/Suspension/ETC fault. I edited my previous recommendation. I think I'll be ordering a DEKA 9AGM94R or 9A94R soon once I can figure out which is better for the LR3.
