    Christmas wth the LR3 Again

    For the second time since January I had the pleasure of requesting a tow for the LR3 yesterday. Started with a couple of messages followed by the full Christmas Tree on the dash and a drop to bump stops with the 4 ways flashing. The truck runs but ... It will be wiring again. This winter has...

    LR3/4 Quick Questions

    Will the 10 spoke 18" wheels from an LR3 fit on a 2010 LR4 without issue? Also, in the seven pin trailer wiring harness, is one of the wires power that could be used to charge a trailer battery while travelling. Thanks for any and all help.

    2007 4Runner and tow pkg

    I was looking at a 4Runner that doesn't have a trailer hitch. If it doesn't have the tow pkg does that mean it has no interior wiring to hook one up or if one were to add a hitch, would the connectors be at the rear of the truck to add 7/4 pin wiring connector, as shown, and is there a connector...

    Rav4 and towing

    Since my daughter bought a 2004 Rav4 earlier this summer, I've been looking at them (2006-2009 V6 - 3500 lbs towing) as a replacement for my wife's car next spring. With 16" wheels, I can add a nice set of Cooper Discoverer AT3's, air bags in the rear springs to keep the height level but I...

    2005 4Runner sport edition

    I'm looking at a 2005 with a 6 cyl engine for my wife. Might be a too good to be true but it has 135k kilometres and they are asking $8k. One owner. Being a Land Rover guy, what should I look for? This will be for my wife. Was looking at Rav4's for her but this one looks pretty good. Thanks for...

    LR3 and led trailer lights

    The teardrop I bought in the spring had led lights which pulsed when plugged into the truck. They worked fine for signal, brake and reverse. Seems it's a common issue. I sold the trailer but we are ordering a TC Teardrops unit. While on holidays, we hooked the TC off-road unit to the LR3 and the...

    Which 3 fuses and compressor run time LR3

    Curious to know which three fuses need to be removed to keep the LR3 from dropping if the fault light comes on. It was simple on the old P38, unplug the compressor and valve block. Also, the front left was dropping, replaced the front valve block, problem rectified but the compressor does still...

    Teardrop Frame to Ground Clearance Heights

    So, I've got the new to me Teardrop home in the driveway. It's been very cold and snowy here so I haven't really messed with it but as soon as I get the Curt hitch installed on my LR3, it will be going to the trailer welding shop to have the height adjusted up. It appears it has adjustable...

    Teardrop Suspension Modification Advice

    I'm new to the trailer scene but we've been bitten by the Teardrop bug. There is one for sale close to me at a reasonable price which is built on a 10 1/2' platform with a queen bed and a very good sized galley that would accommodate my ABB fridge and our other chuck supplies rather nicely. The...

    LR3 Trailer Hitch

    The LR3 I bought in January came with a trailer hitch but the key was gone and the hitch was on. The shop got the hitch off and installed a new piece with/for the key/etc but it appears the part/bolt that needs to retract to fit it into the slot in the bumper doesn't want to retract far enough...

    Oztent Rivergum Sleeping Bag

    I just came across these bags. The XL seems to have lots of room for a guy like me who moves around a lot. Wondered if anyone had one and how they liked it. I was really leaning towards the new Sierra Designs Back Country Bed but this Oztent one looks good and would likely work for full three...

    1995 Land Rover Discovery 300TDi

    Likely only for folks here in Canada ... this is a very nice clean and rare Discovery with a 300TDi diesel engine and automatic transmission. I purchased it about 2 years ago and planned on keeping it for a long time but my friend decided to sell his equally well maintained LR3 and I couldn't...
