Hey all, I picked up an 08 LR3 SE last week and it needs some real tires. Been reading everything I can find, and I know most recommend the 265/65r-18’s, but the 275’s look so much more proportional to me. I know I’ll need to move the driver wheel well sensor wire, relocate the rear heater...

I really like the idea, as well as your trailer selections. I’d stay away from the teardrop concept to start as there are quite a few on the market, and people will want it 6” wide or 6” taller, etc. They are also harder to build to a lower price point. I’m not sure what business experience you...

I'm currently debating the same thing with my RRC. Right now it is me, the fiancé, and my dog, and I have removed my back seat until we have kids. A 10" tall sleeping platform with drawers would allow ok headroom along with one of those spring pop up tents for changing/bathroom duty. Most of...

Agreed. There are some great simple diagrams at the top of the electrical section. I'm going to install dual batteries with a 600 A constant duty solenoid which will automatically isolate and charge them, as well as allow for self jump starting. I want an "idiot-proof" setup where I can't either...

Not really ideal if you're just wanting to wash your hands or rinse off dishes on the trail, but if you're planning to take a real shower you're generally camping and will have a water tank and stove with you...

Not going to find a tru-trac at a junkyard, and if you're budget minded it's not a cheap/easy install either. The GM factory lockers were common, though they were nicknamed "gov-bombs" as they can be unreliable and fail. However they do hold up ok with decent sized tires and not driving like a...

Put a 3" front spindle lift on it, best option of anything.

As a mechanic and Land Rover owner, I've seen both sides of the coin. What I've come to find are the things that end up causing the most problems are the ancillaries like alternators and fuel pumps, which are common to all vehicles. In my experience, sometimes the "bulletproof/reliable" vehicles...

I doubted the tape too but it seems to be holding. Possibly use tape on every stud/crossmember and secure the corners with rivets and silicone bonded angle on too for peace of mind?

Just put them on the front of the trailer horizontally and pay ~$100 to have the fill/drain ports re-welded. Stainless is easy and will be just as durable when it's done.

I agree with most of what is stated in here, about the solid feel, comfortable seats, huge cargo area, etc, I also love how easy they are to work on. Differential swap? No problem, it takes about 30 minutes and there is only 1 diff to source so it is easy to find proper parts. Same with wheel...

Pretty handy, but I wouldn't spend that much on such a rarely used item. Pretty sure you could do a lot of that stuff with a hi-lift?

Hey guys, thanks for the tip about the seat covers, I never would have found those on my own. After looking at the factory seats I realized that only the front seat bottoms are what are so torn up, so I am considering just seeing if I can get some matching leather replacements made up. I saw...

Pretty cool setup, but I think I would opt for a nice pickup and a skiff at that price range!

Hi, I have a Disco I and the leather seats are showing a lot of wear and tear, and I am having the typical wet insulation/carpet issues. I will be sound deadening the floor, and would like to replace the carpet with something else, as well as the seat covers. The problem is I want to keep...

All those things do make a difference at all around capability, but I would have to give credit to Rover's AWD systems. For some reason it seems like they have black magic in them and I cannot explain how rovers seem to lose grip and spin the tires but then still keep pulling uphill, in mud, no...
