    Made the jump to 33x12.50 on the LR3

    yeah this stinks. as you may have seen there are two ways to do the photos here. web sourced or direct upload. until the upload was an option, i never showed photos. maybe if you used the web source thing i can't see it because i don't have an account with that or some setting on my side is...

    Made the jump to 33x12.50 on the LR3

    lol, i gotta see full articulation and full lock turns under articulation with that nutty wide tire plus totally cray offset. ZERO chance it actually clears and is 100% usable off road ;) Ok so you're cutting. I drew a line on my plastic arches to where I would like to trim them but i want...

    iLand app ride height settings?

    From how the IIdtool works, I think I could level the vehicle just as well by manual methods which I do often when camping off road. Everything you bring on a trip should have at least 2 uses IMO. My leveling items are folding wheel chock-traks, rubber lifting pads, and the 2"x48"x12" waffle...

    Lr3 tail gate storage?

    yeah there's no room for enough stuff to make it worthwhile to configure. Kind of disappointing when I pulled it apart few yrs back for that exact idea. There is however a massive volume available upon removing the 3rd row seats. I also fully use the 3rd row side window areas as bungie...

    Lr3: snow chains or cables. Anyone have preferences?

    Nokian hakkap... LT2 studded ;) although the non-studded are probably the best non-studded snow tire you could put on the rover.

    How to separate lr3 3rd row seats?

    took mine out 11 yrs ago and i think it still looks as yours does. Why do you want to separate? There is no use for that except to make it harder to put back together if ever needed. I think mine is in the furnace closet LOL

    LR3 (LR4 RRS) air strut replacement job step by step

    I'll try to remember.... I did it when I installed the strut spacers and after an air line splicer failure on a trail, requiring full R/R of the strut trailside.... :/ , i was determined to remove such potential failure points and created enough slack to run straight in with the splicer. This...

    LR3 (LR4 RRS) air strut replacement job step by step

    Heck yeah, on using the ‘right’ tools! The rearmost strut top nut, 15mm, is actually easy with the scale 1/4 flex head that Snap-on makes. I assume otherscare similarly small. Also of note is the extra long handle for some leverage but also just reach. When I do that but the swing is in the...

    LR3 (LR4 RRS) air strut replacement job step by step

    With the exactly right tools and knowing where to get your fingers, you don't always have to remove the fender liner but it makes it a lot easier. For anyone who hasn't removed it, knowing how to do it with zero questions is useful if you're on a trail and need access to something. This also...

    LR3 (LR4 RRS) air strut replacement job step by step

    Come to think of it, that surprises me at first but then I also rerouted some of my driver side line in order to create more slack in the area between where it pops out from under radiator cross beam and up to strut. I also ran it through differently on other side. This is probably why I can...

    LR3 (LR4 RRS) air strut replacement job step by step

    From another forum, I listed my procedure but thought I'd also post it here for others to add any tricks or clarify some aspects for others that come along. I am not asking for opinions on how I do it but if you have a thing you've done that is potentially 'better', please post it. I can do...

    18's on range rover sport

    As for pestering, bring it on ;) if we all learn something new it’s worth it. I’d like to remind you of the size brakes a G55 has and they fit in 18’s just fine ;) Come to think of it, I still have the aftermarket 18” Porsche replicas, turbo I think is the wheel design model. Looked pretty...

    18's on range rover sport

    “Downsized” brakes? LOL wrong. They may be smaller rotor size by few mm but they were an upgrade in design and pads. The braking is equal if not better now. Same bite, same feel, etc. Tire traction on pavement at speed is a much bigger limiting factor here. Don’t be tryin to mess w newbies...

    18's on range rover sport

    Almost everyone who's vehicle is always over 7000 lbs. This is not about if the XL will roll fine or not. This is about why the hell use something inferior when you can simply use a much better choice? Are there not enough variables out of our control to waste time introducing an inferior...

    18's on range rover sport

    Ideal highway psi is purely relative to vehicle weight. 42 would be a terrible idea under 7000 lbs. 5200 lbs sure, but even a stock Audi has 44 in the door sticker. Psi is not that linear across all combinations of vehicle and tire/wheel sizes. What did you use on your G or van? Surely it...
