    LR3 Owners: Yes, you can get a $16 Replacement Key

    You may not be able to open the door if the battery is dead but you can, once in, start the vehicle. Read the manual to know how to get into the thing without the remote. It is in there.

    Do Land Cruiser folks fret over extended warranties like the Land Rover boards ..??? !!! Doubt it....

    Quote...Your rates would surely be higher with 0 deductible otherwise nobody would have a deductible. We don't know each other, so I don't mean this as an insult to your math skills, perhaps the battery in your calculator is in backwards. But the numbers don't lie, from $1700 down to $1300 is...

    Smittybilt Scout Trailer Reviews?

    There are a lot of people that think everyone is on Facebook...not so. Have never been and never will. If I have to miss out on someones build, that's just the way it goes.

    Do Land Cruiser folks fret over extended warranties like the Land Rover boards ..??? !!! Doubt it....

    Even if it is not apparent there is a decrease in cost. Actually, removing the deductible lowers the cost (two vehicles combined) by almost $400. Being that the policy comes due every 6 months, so $800, this is what I call significant.

    Do Land Cruiser folks fret over extended warranties like the Land Rover boards ..??? !!! Doubt it....

    Thanks for your thoughts. My LR3 is over 10 years old and if it is involved in an 'accident' I expect that the cost of repair will very well make the cost of that repair more than the blue book value of the vehicle. So it will probably be 'totaled' by the insurance company. This leaves me with a...

    Awning room with wood stove

    The great part about this is that the sides are easy enough to fit under the arm of an industrial machine and although it might be a bit awkward to maneuver, it can be done. If the 'door' is unzipped it can be made to work. The LED lights that I used in my OZ tent fit into the relief in the...

    Project Victory_Overland 08 LR3 Build Thread!

    Some of the ideas voiced on this site could very well be added to the design of many vehicles in the production stage. It might be that added features will add to the cost enough that they are scrapped 'on the drawing board' before the thing ever leaves the factory. It is encouraging to see so...

    Please talk me out of my irrational desire for a Disco

    You are truly fortunate that you can leave your things out and come back and they are still there. Wouldn't want to do that where I am. Great trip.

    Why you should not listen to the manufacturer's 'Filled for life' claim

    Is a tranny service less than a new Toyota? There are types of fluid that last longer than others, a bit more expensive but if you are not really up for services it might be something to try. Got nothing to lose. Rebuild it. Or when it dies might be time to get another type of vehicle, but I...

    Camel Trophy

    That is the reason I miss lots of connections, as I am not a member of organizations like that. No Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or many social media accounts, too intrusive.

    Supercab: Removing backset for more storage

    Rather than the expensive molle system I would use footman loops and plywood. The loops could be screwed to the wood and located anywhere that is most convenient for your items. The straps that come on many things would be easily used or create your own system to locate the items. The loops...

    Lr3: snow chains or cables. Anyone have preferences?

    I have chains but have never used them. This vehicle is supposed to be capable with good tires.

    Project Victory_Overland 08 LR3 Build Thread!

    Yes adding sound deadening to the sheet metal will quiet almost any vehicle as it dampens the vibration of the metal and that transfers to the inside of the vehicle as noise. Just don't open the windows.

    New Electric Rivian Truck To Challenge Land Rover

    I know it is an imaginary vehicle. I have a Land Rover (a real one) and if this is a challenge, bring it on.
