    Range Rover vs LR4

    More possibility of electrical gremlins with the RR - but we all know that Land Rover electrical systems are dead nuts reliable so just go ahead and buy the one your wife likes...

    2006 LR3 - New owner confesses to weak moment

    Everyone who's been there wants to know how I got that shot without a crowd of people on the steps. They had just opened the street along the river after some heavy flooding and the day was sort of crappy. There was one person sitting on the steps off to the left but I pulled up in a no parking...

    2006 LR3 - New owner confesses to weak moment

    Rookies - I've owned my 2007 for a little over two years now. You won't regret it. It sure is nice having 300 HP under the hood after all those years of the Rover V-8 in Range Rovers and Discoverys. The day I picked it up... with a nice little 12 hour drive home to get acquainted

    1993 RRC Front Axle is clicking when turning

    CV joint replacing is easy if you catch it in time - don't wait for it to go from clicking to bang... Axles are fully floating in Range Rover Classics, D-1's and Defenders so all you have to do is remove the calipers, the hubs and the stub axles and you can slide the front axle out. The only...

    A little overwhelming...

    If you can round up or borrow some basic camping gear this month you might want to check out the Overland Expo in Asheville over the first weekend of October. You'll get to see the whole world of what is available and there will be a special Land Rover camping area right near the front of the...

    A little overwhelming...

    Welcome to LR3 ownership - they are great vehicles. I have a 2007 HSE along with three other Land Rovers. The local Land Rover club is Solaros (Southern Land Rover Society) and we meet on the third Wednesday of each month at The Counter restaurant on Mansell Road in Roswell. Show up around...

    Check out this one that Luke Miles from The Shop installed on a customer's 110. I'm not sure what brand it is - you'll have to contact Luke to find out.

    LR3 Key Fob

    I got a replacement case from Keytown2015 on Ebay for $13.99 - its very nice and he sends a detailed set of instructions on how to swap your circuit board over to the new case. It took about an hour to make the change. The case looks just like the factory stock one (and a lot better than the...

    I Got Screwed!

    B&H and KEH for me too - I've bought thousands of dollars of equipment from these two without a single complaint. B&H has great prices on new stuff and KEH is the go-to place for most of my used equipment (although B&H is now selling used stuff as well). Since KEH is Atlanta based I can order...

    ARB Fridge/freezer questions

    I have a 35 qt Engel and it is sufficient for me on a four to five day solo camping trip - if my wife comes along we have to carry a supplemental conventional cooler and worry about ice. The 45 qt size (or 50 if ARB) has the same footprint as the 35 but its about six inches taller. If I had my...

    Freelander 2.0 Di

    That looks like some spectacular countryside - makes me wish I had made it to Portugal on one of my trips to Europe. There is one guy over here that regularly off roads his Freelander. They had a miserable reputation in the USA but we never got the diesel version which is supposed to be...

    Know of a reputable, great price point camera gear website?

    B&H, KEH and Adorama are the primary sources for my camera addiction. I'm lusting after a Canon 1Dx to take advantage of the advancements in ISO levels, battery technology and focusing over my 1DsMKII - which is still a great camera. I've had some good luck with local craigslist but the main...

    Expo East...LR village

    We had 63 last year so it would be nice to get at least 50 Rovers - I'm trying to encourage more Solaros members to participate this year.

    Like A Moth To The Flame- My New LR3

    Sorry to see you get rid of your LR3 and the Conqueror - it's a great truck. Airstreams are cool - did you get the 25 or 27 foot model? My sister had a 27 0r 28 foot Airstream - she says she wishes they'd had a 25 foot size since once you get over 25 feet they get a bit more hard to maneuver.
