    LR3 Rear Diff Help

    Fix everything else, then the diff if you still have noise. You should be changing the oil every 55k. If you simply fitted a used one, then there is no guarantee on the condition when it was fitted. As a result, I wouldn't be surprised if you need to repair it.

    LR3 wont start, 2x in last 12 hrs. Happy New Year... :)

    Here's a picture of the battery negative cable. This particular one had corrosion from the battery terminal to the firewall. http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/displayimage.php?album=5042&pos=31 Take a logical approach as suggested. Check voltage when it does not start. Also check battery voltage...

    LR3 owners sound off, which tires?

    While I like the idea of higher profile tires, I don't want to take any chances tearing anything up in the event of suspension failure. Additionally, I need to use access height often to get into the garage, etc. It just isn't worth the risk. Furthermore, doing quite a bit of towing lately. The...

    LR3 owners sound off, which tires?

    Here you go. My general observation are they look a lot smaller on the vehicle, I am getting used to it. In reality they are not much smaller in width or height. Bear in mind, the Nitto shown is worn, and not on a rim and inflated. It is a bit of an optical illusion that the k02 looks wider, in...

    How to add extra battery or 2 to LR4?

    I'm also very very happy with my Traxide system. You can order the full on kit, or bare bones and add your own wiring, etc.

    KickAss Portable 12v Compressor Fridge Freezers for Camping

    That looks like a seriously clunky DC connection. I'm not sure why you would use a 75amp Anderson connection for a 50 watt compressor.. Clever concept, not a peep about power consumption.

    LR3 owners sound off, which tires?

    I went from 285x60x18 Nitto TG to the K02 265x60x18 (load range E) -- Happy so far, the shifting pattern is noticeably better. I just couldn't bring myself to go 65 profile.

    Project Victory_Overland 08 LR3 Build Thread!

    I do not have a heated one, but I went with non-OE Pilkinton version which was cheaper. Cost a few bucks, but was a fair compromise. Happy with it.

    LR4 Battery Charging Profile... Measured with IID... really this bad?

    My pleasure..... Try this-- do not change from the factory length belt as they recommend. By all means contact Tim at Traxide as well, if you bought from him, it has a lifetime warranty.

    LR4 Battery Charging Profile... Measured with IID... really this bad?

    I have found, that with new batteries, even connecting an 800ah battery, the LR3 will draw it down to 12.6, before it finally stops... I don't know why. Best bet is to disconnect and charge each battery separately, let it settle and see what it looks like (check the voltage). I tend to change...

    LR3 Tire Size to prevent rubbing

    I've been running 285x60x18 with good luck. I've now switched back to 265x60x18 to improve mileage and cut down on potential hydroplaning. Previous Terra Grappler, current BFG k02, which run slightly quieter, probably won't last as long but should be better in mud and snow. No real rubbing with...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    The vents are nice Ray, even without dogs or sleeping in the truck, it helps keep the heat down when parked. A little noisy at highway speeds, but fine for trails. It is nice to see they are available domestically.

    Overland fridge/freezer or just fridge?

    What if you can use a dual bin as a fridge OR a freezer in either bin. That way it's there when you need it, and more fridge space when you don't. As someone said earlier, for a few day trip, if you put frozen stuff in a fridge it will keep frozen for quite a while-- several days without a...
