My personal sweet spot is the gen 2 ('94-'96) SR. It has the 3.5 motor, rear locker, and a decent axle ratio. Down side is that many consider the DOHC a tad harder to maintain than the '96+ SOHC.

Who owns the domain to make it so expensive? Curiosity only......

Interested in the CV axles, if the larger SR ones. Close enough (assuming your profile location is correct) to come and pick through the stash for opportunities.

Can't believe I forgot the links.... Where I bought it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/133592910565 Info from the creator. I believe you can buy directly from him through these forums: https://www.3si.org/threads/convert-obd1-mut-into-canbus-obd2-for-torque-app.809906/

Over the past year I have been experimenting with replacing the Gen2 auxiliary gauge pack and factory stereo with an Android head unit. One of my goals was to no lose the voltage and oil pressure meters. There is an android app (Torque Pro) the replicates gauges on the screen using OBDII data...

For the '94-'96 a close approximation can be made by scanning for the "engine" digit in the VIN. Almost all 3.5s in those years (the DOHC years) had the locker. For the earlier and later years engine size is not a good degerminator as all early trucks had 3.0s and all later trucks had 3.5 SOHC...

As long as you have the cams in the correct locations, and the pulleys on the proper cams, it will all line up properly when putting the belt on. The passenger side head is a pain as it's very close to the "tipping point" (when the valve springs push it over and it rotates as NWoods indicated)...

Has anybody played in the interior yet? I'm one of the few who uses the 3rd row regularly and the best part about the LR3/4 third row was that my boys (and other Scouts) can use it up to about 6' tall (vs. the small child only 3rd row in most everything else). I'm hoping this doesn't change. Of...

I believe I got it. Being fairly hard to bleed and then combined with very large differences in before and after the radiator temps (non-load, driveway revving) was sapping my confidence that everything was OK. It seemed like the thermostat wasn't opening properly, but I'm pretty sure it's...

Recently the thermostat housing on my '06 V8 LR3 decided to crack and leak at the large o-ring that seals the front and rear pieces. I replaced the complete housing with one from Atlantic British along with the water pump and both drive belts. After a slight derailment from a damaged o-ring...

I go out in my LR3 (HD package, only mod is 33" Duratracs) with friends of mine that are Jeepers. Their family has been Jeeping for over 20 years and 3 generations. They have everything from a '47 Willys with fully locked Dana 44s on 35s, CJs, square and round headlight Wrangles and the...

While the comments on styling don't surprise me, they puzzle me. I've always seen Land Rover, and Land Rover folks, as more "function over form" types. I, personally, never saw Land Rover as the "ego" brand it apparently is to many here on this forum. As long as the IFS/IRS works as well as the...

I agree with most of what is said. My personal experience: Bought at a Toyota dealership used @ 64K. Needed an alternator 1 week later. Flashed the bluetooth module to work with newer phones. ($1000 diagnostic tool, but will keep the truck mostly DIY) Needed a starter about a year later. All...

The LR3 uses a standard Ford brake controller harness. It's right up under the dash by the brake pedal. If you order your brake controller with a adapter harness for a '06ish Ford F150 it should plug right in. You can see it in on the left side of the 3rd picture in this thread...

This is the group I go out with occasionally. It will go much further than any non-locked Jeep and keeps up with the locked ones. The only real disadvantage is watching out for high centering compared to the SWB trucks. I run 33" Duratracks (275/65R18) and have been happy with them. I even...

1. Drive them both. That should answer your question better than us. 2. LR4/'10+ RRS have 5.0 motors@375HP (IIRC) might put it back into your comfort zone without the supercharger. 3. I agree, look at the 4Runner also (or don't call the Jersy Shore aspect of the RRS a negative, LOL) 4. I seem to...

Yep, been using them for 2 weeks troubleshooting my current problem.

I've had the OEM trailer wiring kit installed for a while now. When I first installed it, I found a bit of skinned wire on the truck side of the harness. It was there from a previous owner or from manufacture. It was taped up and everything worked fine. Before we bought the new trailer for the...

I'll check to see if it goes to sleep, but the wiring diagram I have makes it look like power comes straight from the battery through fusible link 6E to the Ford trailer brake connector. The rear fuse box does not exist on my LR3 ('06 HSE). Google research seems to indicate it does not exist on...

It can be, yes. Pull the relay and place a wire (with the proper size spades) across the larger two terminals. This replicates the function of the relay. Maybe. If you wish to add a second wire (and switch) to the 'signal' side of the relay you need to be careful not to backfeed the original...
