I wouldn't try to answer the immediate question, I would ask what your long-term goals are for the truck. My LR3 HD I own outright and don't plan on selling as I have so many memories of building it and taking my sons offroading. If I were in your shoes and it was only 6-12 months I would...

I'll give you one to avoid - Huntington Service Center in San Marino. They did a PPI on an L322 Range Rover I purchased from out of state. I had limited options in that the dealer wouldn't porter the truck more than 10 miles so a bit stuck in where I could have it inspected. Luckily it was...

I have the Rhino-Rack platform on the Rhino-Rack Backbone. If you wanted to get really low you could go backbone and use unistrut as the crossbars since the Rhino-Rack system just uses slot nuts to hold the platforms on. Rhino-Rack BackBone System for Land Rover LR3 and LR4 - CargoGear

My oldest little guy - 3 - has been asking about an "outside car," a convertible and that has me dreaming of repowered Series III on 35s. Will be stealing some ideas from this thread when the time comes.

Keep the updates coming, the most interesting thread in this sub!

Awesome, I love this. Who did you source the Ironman drawers from? I'm local to Oregon as well. I'm trying to decide exactly what direction I want to go. I was starting to go down the path of basically a bed slide with four Front Runner WolfPacks to save the weight of full drawers and increase...

Here is a DIY on some rails for a similar set-up. (5) We install airline rails (L-Rails) on our Land Rover Discovery 3 - YouTube

I was able to run wiring under the trim with a little bit of Dremel finessing; however, that was for a single lightbar. I saw the solution linked below from KC and while I haven't tried it myself, it seems like a quick way to cleanly route things. Which I might give a try if I add any additional...

265/65/18 Falken Wildpeak AT3, I do not rub in access mode.

Beautiful D1. What suspension are you running? I really like the stance of this truck. Also, are you a member of the Pacific Coast Rover Club yet? https://www.pcrc.net/

Here is a well sorted one in Portland. The guy who dials these in is in the local LR club. My mechanic also might have one coming up for sale if you want a lower price point. https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/d/portland-2005-land-rover-lr3-se-44l-v8/7249465090.html

I switched wheels from the factory spec 19'' wheels to the 18'' SE wheels to get more all-terrain tire options and more sidewall when airing down.

This made me LOL, I've followed cars my whole life and I honestly have no idea what model Mercedes is what anymore.

I've been on some truly horrific washboard (corrugated) roads and I've never had a sunroof rattle. I'm thinking it might be the spring tensioners on the wind deflector getting tired, or perhaps not installed correctly. Did you recently have the sunroof drains serviced? The deflector is a little...

That one was shared around on my local board. A little too industrious for the kind of project I'm looking for.

This morning while the coffee brewed I was daydreaming about my next Land Rover project - a trail beater for some thrashing. I've promised my wife a new house and myself some more garage space before I take on another project, so while tempting, I can't save them all. Let's use this thread...

Great points made regarding the CarFax and the record. If you can get it repaired correctly, and if you are comfortable taking delivery, and if you plan on keeping it for a while I would go for things that don't cost the dealer anything out of pocket today but save you a bunch in the long run...
