    93 RRC vs. 06-07 Range Rover vs. LR3

    Have a RRC and just got an LR4 for many of the same reasons you are considering switching, so I have experience with both. For the age of LR3 you are looking at and need to fully outfit to your tastes, that is a pretty nice classic. Presuming the truck is still in good shape rust wise...

    Honeymoon Revisited: Eight-Days in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado

    Looks like a fantastic trip. Love the bed in the back of the truck. Really shows the utility factor of the LR3 along with the air suspension.

    LR4 rear bumper options?

    Huskyfargo, thanks for the pictures. I spoke with Eric over at Tactical who said they have bumpers for the LR4 as they are the 3 and the 4 as all the info for both trucks are the same even though it is not mentioned on the website. Could you send me a couple of other pictures of your truck...

    LR4 rear bumper options?

    So pick up a new to me 2012 LR4, maybe post more on it and first trail impressions later. Looks beautiful in white still with the dealer plates on her and some knuckle dragger smashes into the rear bumper in a parking lot leaving an ugly black streak across the passenger corner. Paint...

    LR4 engine issues?

    Looking at purchasing an LR4. Largely after reading others comments here which helped to open up my mind about these "modern" rovers and their actual capability. I was recently told that the LR4s have had some issues with the engines compared to the LR3s that have had virtually none...

    They're multiplying!!

    I know the felling... Some people actually have vegetables and flowers in their gardens. Mine seems to grow Land Rovers. I am up to 3 RRCs and a 109 now all in various opperating conditions. My wife says it is a sickness. She might be right, but I am ok with it. As I told her, some...

    Wanting to buy a RRC soon. What to look for

    Along with the rust areas mentioned by Blueboy, also check the body mounts underneath the truck especially in the front, the depression where the spare tire sits, and feel around the edges of the doors near the mounts. Remember, the panels are aluminum so on the surface the truck can look like...

    LR Discovery Sport launch in Roseville, CA

    Have to recognize the vehicle for what it is. Today's uber regulated environment and current market place it is unrealistic to expect every vehicle to be a utilitarian trail rig, as much as we would like them to. If Land Rover can build the most capable vehicle in that particular vehicle's...

    Discovery Sport vs. Grand Cherokee Overland vs. 4Runner TRD

    The disco sport being such a new vehicle there is going to be little to no experience with it vs the others. Having recently sat in both the disco sport and Jeep Grand Cherokee at a recent auto show, I can say that I was very impressed with the disco and unimpressed with the jeep. What you...

    Looking to put together a Land Rover caravan for Far North Overland in April

    See that you are coming through Minnesota. When you do, the MN Land Rovers would be happy to host a meal and get together for the group. Look forward to following this and seeing the group as they make it through.

    Overland Journal: Discovery I, 5-speed

    Got a nice chuckle out of the issue with the ladder bolt going through the door mechanism. Had a buddy do the exact same thing and cursing mightly about it only a month back. Of course it would line up that way, why wouldn't it? Be to easy otherwise.

    Overland Journal: 1995 Range Rover Classic

    very clean, very straight, very nice. Have to believe these well preserved trucks are only going to go up in value in the near future. So unique with fewer and fewer left. Starting a nice little herritage collection for yourself.

    1995 RRC Rear Lift Gate issues

    This is a very common problem on the old classics and I have wrestled with my own many times. Besides the rods getting out of alignment as mentioned above the frames can get bent and warped slightly making it difficult to latch. My issue was resolved by unscrewing the catches (the little nubs)...
