    Don't go out alone - and bring your recovery gear.

    Didn't give him a pull? :(

    Don't go out alone - and bring your recovery gear.

    Luckily we got it out and kept going. Once it was out we had one of the armored trucks go through the puddle at speed and broke up all the ice.

    Don't go out alone - and bring your recovery gear.

    Went out for an easy trail run this weekend near Liberty, WA. Lucky for me, I was with two other rigs, and I was in the middle. Unlucky for me - we went over a nice little 'whoop' which happened to have a large puddle behind it. A very large, very deep puddle. In November. At 5200 feet. As...

    Who ordered a New Defender ?

    I see we are making really good progress in answering the question of 'who ordered a new Defender?' If you didn't, and aren't going to - why are you still here?

    Post pictures of your Land Rover.

    Ahem - what? Do tell/share. How do you have this?

    Who ordered a New Defender ?

    ^ As it's been stated for a few hundred pages now (there was another thread haha), the independent suspension is actually amazing on modern rovers. 10" of front travel and 13" of rear travel makes for a good time, and adjustable height is something I can't go back from.

    Go. Away.

    What would you replace your LR3/4 with ?

    It's a car with 200k miles. Of course it's going to need a bunch of deferred repairs... just like any other car with 200k miles.

    Long term Atturo Trail Blade X/T 285/60R18 120H XL review

    And if they post an A/B review of them alongside another tire such as GY or BFG, then this would be a worthy review. Assuming they carry both tires to prevent bias.

    You guys sure it's not a regulatory issue, not 'stupidity?'

    Long term Atturo Trail Blade X/T 285/60R18 120H XL review

    Not to be a downer, but these reviews are useless without an A/B comparison. Especially as somebody who admits to coming from standard all seasons. For an extra $60/corner, I put a reputable tire (Goodyear Duratrac) on my LR3. My personal experience has been never to cheap out on tires. I've...

    Suspension Fault C1130-66

    If the truck isn't sinking overnight, you don't have a leak. Have you tried giving it more time to sink? Throwing parts at the truck isn't going to solve the issue, I think it's best to spend a little more time figuring it out. I haven't had this error but if it's specific to a corner, I'd be...

    What would you replace your LR3/4 with ?

    We get the Ford Ranger, which is what this is. Cmon, we do get the fun stuff! And it's 1/2 the price of anywhere else...

    Who ordered a New Defender ?

    Even without this legislation (which I fully support), the IID Tool offered for modern rovers in the aftermarket has proved to be an incredible resource. $16 replacement key ALONE paid for itself.

    Who ordered a New Defender ?

    I think specs mean nothing. If you look at my LR3, you'd think it'd be be bad off-road bc of IFS/IRS, 31" tires, etc. Yet it does great. I think it'll get respect when/if people see that it's doing well on trail and is reliable. Which I do expect it will be.

    2008 Land Rover LR3 on 35"s - Refurbish/Rebuild Thread

    I guess you just do the alignment to prevent negative camber at such tall heights? My truck has a little of it when lifted to off-road+25mm.

    Who ordered a New Defender ?

    Nothing like the owner of two P38s telling us how the newer rovers are unreliable and how they want a Series... Why is this still going on? Why can't we just discuss the new truck? I really expected more from Expo.

    Who ordered a New Defender ?

    I get it, you want a farm tractor. That's fine. I guess REDROVER is back. If you don't like it, don't buy one. Nobody is forcing you to. Nobody is forcing you to post about it either...

    You've clearly never owned a modern rover. Take your trolling elsewhere.

    An introduction to my new LR3

    I'm taking back my previous statement. My Duratracs do rub at full compression (not at bumpstops, but when offroad while articulated). I haven't trimmed the rear sills for this yet. I also had to move some fender liners up front and the EAS height sensors also had to be zip-tied. The KO2s may...
