I saw a guy rolling his LR4 with a huge Trophy boat behind it on the I5 the other day. Looked to be towing just fine and he was cruising along with traffic no problem......I just can't get comfortable looking at the hanging mount with no sway control on something that big.

Great set up and pics. Love the wheel leveling jacks, where can we get those? I like the idea for road tires when not needed.....thinking about putting my old 18" with Nitto AT on for the long trip up to NorCal this week since I won't be doing any trail time.

I've looked around for a drop in years ago and then decided "NO", nobody makes one for the center console for the LR3......stateside! Maybe our friends in SA and Aus have something because they have some great kit down there for Disco 3/4. On that note, Smittybuilt, Gunsafe, and "I can't...

Actually, you could theoretically use the onboard air demand ARB/tank set-up for this if you run the lines past the blockout valves or solenoids in the EAS. Run a t-fitting with a manual air valve into your EAS after the solenoid valve block, pull the fuses on the EAS to disable it and then open...

Did the swap over the weekend. New Denso from British Parts of Utah. Not a fun project considering the engineers clearly do not know or give a hoot about maintenance processes! What a goat rope of an install! Thanks though!

I've been having quite the whining party under the hood over the last few weeks and I believe to have narrowed it down to the A/C compressor clutch bearing. Unfortunately, through my research, I believe that the Denso model the LR3/4 uses that it is not possible to just replace the clutch as it...

I see your point, however, I still feel no performance decrease as my driving style is always tailored to my configuration! On the same note, I prefer trans braking over the pedal braking method (or a combination of both). I've lived in hilly and/or mountainous terrain for the majority of my...

Has anyone replaced just the clutch/bearing assy on an LR3 or LR4? My A/C bearing is making a hell of a whine now under daily use with the AC On/Off. I pulled the belt to isolate the noise and check the other bearings and all feel really good. If i free spin the AC compressor, I can feel the...

Not my BMW wheels but I have the 17" LR OEM Disco wheels on mine and they fit great and almost zero noticeability on brake performance at any weight. The increase in tire performance is quite noticeable in every fashion so I doubt I will ever go back to 18" wheels. JWestPro has also done this...

That Camp Chef is nice........how does it fold up and store compared to the advertisement? Does it have a carrying case? Is it fairly sturdy construction and does it rattle around when stowed? I like following the build, keep up the postings. Also, if you are into experimenting with the wind...

Don't think I'll be running the Rubicon with my D3 but would be nice to give it a solid attempt someday! I'm sticking to the medium trails I think as I have almost zero time off-road in NorCal so I want to enjoy the beauty and the fun! Sweet.....as we get closer it might be good for us...

Diggin those wheels.......what's the specs?

Yeah definitely not cheap but a great option for a trail only set up. I need to learn more about this X5 set-up because that seems like a very affordable and light option. Not sure how well they will handle the weight of the LR3 but they look nice and seem to fit great. Just curious to know...

Interesting and thanks for the links on the X5 wheels.....that really looks like a great option! Any spacers required or do these bolt right up flat? Here is the link to DiscoverParts.de where I bought my 17x8 steelie! These guys are super easy to work with and know their stuff. Just tell...

Thanks for the pictures. Interesting design for the striker plate.....although I guess with the drop down tailgate the options are limited.

I'll post up some links on my build thread as to not hi-jack this one. What year specifically for X5 wheels? I haven't looked into that option at all. Aluminum is obviously much lighter for daily use!

Somewhere between Glamis and Gordon's Well in Imperial Dunes, SoCal

I noticed it does stick out and change the departure angle. I've seen a few really nice Jeep set-ups with the striker mounts on top though so I'll keep that in mind. Awesome, thanks for the follow-up. Also, I saw you registered for the Rally; I just completed my registry so I hope to meet...

Ray, are you stuck on the X5 wheels for a reason or just because there are not any other options? Just opening up the discussion because I found a few steel options that are easy to get over here. I am considering putting the KM2s on a set of steelies and then cleaning up my 17" OEMs for some...

Just registered and looking forward to finally meeting some of the NCLR crew!
