    LR3 Alignment

    Probably not much, though your shop may not be equipped to do a height calibration. That step is an extra step that LR shop will only do upon request.

    Winch switch/circuit breaker option (Warn 9.5xp, 482A max load at 9500lbs)

    No, the blue sea is 200amp, you need a 500amp one. Check the link provided above for some specific ideas.

    Grape Solar

    I prefer Snomaster, way better product. Stainless steel, heavy insulation, heavy duty everything. A little more money, but worth it. GS is not building that, just buying it.

    Winch switch/circuit breaker option (Warn 9.5xp, 482A max load at 9500lbs)

    This is a hotly debated topic. I am running without it, I added Anderson disconnect, in case of a failure during winching operations which is when it would likely fail...

    50 degree ambient drop?

    I'm running mine with a 100 degree ambient difference with similar temps. Temp set to 0F.

    A problem and an attempted solutiion: 12v fridge and solar charger...

    The performance of Gas fridge systems is significantly poorer compared to the DC only version. Due to the low power they use, I'd stick to DC. Here is a nice chart which may be handy. http://www.getaway.co.za/gear-reviews/12-volt-camping-fridge-buying-advice

    Personal Emergency Experience Last Night

    At that stage I would have gotten on HF and found someone in the US to make a phone call for you or something. What you describe is exactly the opposite of everything I learned. Emergency traffic always has priority above anything else at any time. Those folks were idiots. Luckily most of the...

    Solar power for camping/overlanding trips installed 6 27 2009

    There is a good chance the MPPT could interfere with communications HAM/CB, etc. if you have them. Just bear that in mind. I use the Morningstar PS-30-M PWM and it is fine. No problems with that one.

    HR 1301 - Amateur Radio Parity Act of 2015

    Interesting-- Had you contacted the office, or was it mined from license data and sent? More info on it here folks; http://www.arrl.org/news/the-amateur-radio-parity-act-of-2015-politicians-do-listen-arrl-president-says

    Recovery Bag

    I just use an inexpensive bag, so if the dog chews it, no big loss.. I'd prefer to store it under the rear or behind the seats, but it's too big. Perhaps dividing it into two bags makes good sense.. Very similar gear to the above.. Good Idea.

    Finally a radio technician that actually knows what he is doing!!!!!!

    :lurk: For someone who knows that much, why would you need this technician? What does he do, that you cannot? Seeing as it appears you're on a first name basis with him, perhaps he could legitimize his business with say... a phone number or something along those lines. Otherwise, the entire...

    FAA FCC radio license

    The easiest option Dan is to study online. QRZ has free study aids, and also hamtestonline.. I used the latter pay service, it is very nice. It would be handy to do the Tech and General sequentially when you test, that will give you VHF/UHF and the General will give some HF. Here is a...

    LR3 rear seals by differential?

    Axle seals... More than likely there is a reason they are leaking, worn out bearings play damaging them, over filled diff, plugged breather. Let me know if you want to get something more than seals. How many miles on your diff, maybe worth replacing it. Side Shaft Seal (a) TZB500050ee Side...

    Very nice Darlip. What's that inside window covering, does it help?

    Renogy vs Grape Solar

    You can see most of it on post #20 in this thread, but more pictures would be nice.

    LR3 front brakes aftermarket choices

    Engineered to consume rotors and pads perhaps, well done on that front, and engineered to not be able to turn the rotors, also well done.. LOL Nothing wrong with sticking with OEM if you want to, but I would not say that OEM is always better. This is one of those topics everyone debates...

    LR3 front brakes aftermarket choices

    EBC is fine, that is overpriced stuff from UK. No rust issues.. And if Brembo really makes the OE ones, that's reason enough for me to NOT buy them.

    I broke my LR3

    This is what I believe. The double frame on these vehicles are over engineered to the max. However, the entire cab is held on with just a few bolts, and some rubber. When I heard mine 'creak" it was when backing over a 2" lip into the garage and weird stuff like that. This was a regular...
