7 pin vs 4 pin is primarily different as it adds trailer brake control. Don't know whether the system would utilize that in the stability assist, but I certainly wouldn't want to tow without trailer brakes!

OK, I'm on pavement. Don't judge. The view is still great!

Definitely feel free to post your planned frame trim, I work in aerospace structural repair/mod/etc so happy to help if needed!!!

True, but it’s all a compromise ;) Upgrade and downgrade are quite objective, and most of these modifications are subjective! The LR3 brakes do a fine job, and given that we aren’t towing and I’m sure you know how to engine brake on a long descent I can’t imagine you’d ever overheat them. And...

Why not just move down to an 18” LR3 wheel? I’d imagine a new set of brakes would be far less pricey.

34”s really shouldn’t be needed for comfort on forest roads. While you are correct in theory there’s a lot of downsides (unsprung weight, gearing, etc) to a larger tire. Don’t do it! Have you played with pressures at all? We were blasting down forest roads all day yesterday in comfort with my...

Two things: 1) Your fog lamps and high beams can’t run at the same time. I love the lights on my LR as well - the high beams don’t just open the shutter on the xenons but also add an additional pair of H7 halogens! 2) 34”s? Why? Are you really finding trails that hard that you need it? Lots...

4000lb is only 400lb tongue weight. I wouldn't worry about a WDH. Wonder why LR doesn't recommend it. The strangely shaped hitch mount might not be able to withstand a worst case load (moment from WDH, axial from braking, and shear from the tongue weight)... but I'm a bit tired to be doing...

Yikes, it's in the same location on my LR3 (4.4!) That's a fascinating heat dissipation technique, never seen an alternator cooled by the water jacket. Great idea for water fording though. Keep us up to date as to what ideas you have. Very interested.

I'm familiar with both systems, but not following why a WDH would be unadviseable on an LR3/4 with EAS. With the WDH you're just imposing a moment on the hitch to shift weight to the forward wheels on the rig and aft wheels on the trailer. Once enabled, the truck shouldn't fight it... unless...

Loving this Setup! I have an LR3 (but with a locker, hehe) and I'm a few hours north of you in Seattle. Keep it coming, maybe our paths will cross once it gets rainy and dark up here and need to head south! Also keep the techy engineering stuff coming. I work in aerospace so it's nice to see a...

I sold my 6spd Xterra here on ExPo: https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/philly-2006-nissan-xterra-off-road-6-spd-manual.164019/ They aren't easy to find BUT it's worth waiting. The Off-Road or PRO4X trim is also very desireable and you only get the larger Dana44 diff if you have...

Never got those underbody pics. Good luck!

New-to-me 06 LR3 SE HD. Black wasn't the color I wanted but it's hard to find an HD package car. Previous owner had it 8 years to haul their kids... this photo (taken less than a day after purchase) is likely the first time it had left pavement. 108k miles. So far I've added nearly a gallon...

Would love to go but I don't like large groups for wheeling/exploring. Would love to do a smaller group (<5 rigs) to Northern Cali though, especially as the weather gets a little darker/greyer here in Seattle.

Just sent you a PM. I'm local and just getting started with my LR3. Cheers!

I'd expect most folks would like to see plenty of underbody shots for a PA vehicle. Damn salt :(

Sorry guys! I need to set up email notifications on this thread. Responding to all PMs now. Edit: fixed settings, now get instant email notifications for both PMs and this thread. Sorry for the late replies.

Alright, one last bump. Not exactly upset to keep it, after all there's nothing wrong with it :) Cheers!
