    Spares

    I'm with Conner here. I know some people say they've done it but I sure don't know how! I've only had to pull my headlights once when I changed bulbs and I admit I didn't make a massive effort to get the housing free as I assumed it was a fool's errand so perhaps if I'd persisted I'd have...

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

    Somewhere I think I still have the CAT scale printout of my truck loaded for a weekend trip. Full fuel, partial water, (I was on my way home from the trip) without driver or passenger. I think it was around 7500 lbs. What weight have I added? ARB front bumper, winch, custom steel rear bumper...

    2006 LR3 Oil Question

    It pains me to say it as I usually do anything possible to avoid the place, but Walmart is usually unbeatable on oil prices. I buy around 5-600 gallons of delo400 a year and even my wholesalers can't match wally world. And now they do free shipping to boot! (My delivery guy LOVES it when I...

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

    First, I wasn't suggesting putting the spacer kit above the coils. I actually have a friend who did his own ghetto-fab spacers above a coil install and did get a lot of lift, but it was ... let's just call it 'questionable'. Regarding the 'no lift' with coils, I've covered this repeatedly but...

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

    Funny you should mention that... I recently broke ANOTHER front strut - this one hyper-extended internally and let go. The problem here I fear is it's an Arrnot instead of OEM. On the plus side they have a lifetime warranty and I'm currently (still...2 weeks on) waiting for them to send the...

    Where to store fuel siphon after use?

    LR3 Front bumper options

    I can't help you with the tent question, but ironically Phobucket's LR3 was also hit by an errant driver right after he installed the bumper and sliders! He's just picked up a new LR4 and is getting it sorted currently.

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

    I haven't been on this forum in a while but you're going to need more than just a lift (via whatever source you choose) to run 275/70-18s. I won't get into the mods needed for big tires as it's been covered many times here and no need to muddy this thread. My real question is why are you...

    How do you keep your winch secure?

    Honestly....never gave it a second thought. Doesn't strike me as a high-theft item. I suppose on my D1 somebody might get creative and decide to liberate it. On the LR3 it's buried so deep in the goofy ARB bumper you'd have to really want it BAD to dig in there after it. Heck, I should take...

    LR3 Control Arms

    FWIW I've done 3 trucks and never had to do the hardware. West Coast ******!!

    New Cummins R2.8 into a Defender?

    Pretty sure the Cummins is 50-state legal. (crap....I missed page 2 where this was already explained several times)

    Please talk me out of my irrational desire for a Disco

    I got the reference w/o the clip... well played.

    Two-time LR owner seeks third round of torture. What should I get?

    stevenmd - maybe? I've been on the BoD the last couple years. Joined about 4(?) years ago. I'm (too) active on the club forum under Dhappel. I'm also in the 916 area, though south in Walnut Grove. I don't know a lot of the original membership who became less active in recent years. FWIW, a...

    Top 3 things you hate about your LR3 and Top 3 things you like

    Cross axle articulation fault means you need to do a proper re-cal on the suspension. It sounds like you've already done that, so with any luck you've got it sorted.

    Two-time LR owner seeks third round of torture. What should I get?

    There are a couple of coil conversions available, but I wouldn't jump to make the switch so fast with the LR3/4 as with past Rovers. Perfect? No, but far more flexible than coils and FAR more reliable than older RRC or P38 airbags!

    Post pictures of your Land Rover.

    Me (D1) and my buddy Colin (RRC) playing in Tank Traps at Hollister Hills during the NCLR Annual member appreciation event a couple weeks ago. Neither of us escaped without body damage...it's not really a place for full body rigs.

    Top 3 things you hate about your LR3 and Top 3 things you like

    Like: 1. interior space, particularly ability to sleep inside 2. civility on the road (at least compared to my D1) 3. engine reliability - just routine maintenance for 140K Dislike: 1. lack of break-over clearance 2. no gear options for those running more tire (currently on 33s) 3. sheer weight...

    LR3/4 Rear AC Line relocation

    Not 12", 12'. More specifically a pair of 6'. And that's an approximate. You really want to get under there and measure it out yourself if you are planning to make custom braided hoses. As for the fittings, think 'none'. It's just a piece of pipe with hose pushed over it. No fittings. It's...

    2019 LR Discovery SVX

    Apples and oranges. The Sprinter, Power Wagon, Super Duty, and Yota (really, isn't the TRD Pro stuff just a tape and stripe kit with better shocks?) are completely different classes of vehicle and don't have the same restraints for economy, crash standards, etc. That's about as accurate as...
