    LR3 / Discovery 3 Coil Conversion +2" Question

    So, after speaking a bit with AB, I've ordered the standard height kit for my LR3. I don't have loads of armour on my truck and most of my driving is commuting and running fire roads to canoe and mountain bike. I should have about 33" from the ground to the top of the wheel arch with my current...

    LR3 / Discovery 3 Coil Conversion +2" Question

    Thanks, that's the way I'm leaning if AB will do that.

    LA, Denver, Alaska, Inuvik and back - 5 months with a Land Cruiser FZJ80 (Pictures!)

    Awesome trip, it's on my radar and makes me think about retiring earlier :)

    LR3 / Discovery 3 Coil Conversion +2" Question

    I'll be interested to hear how it drives. Adjust height sensors or add rods? Does the 2" lift, even with the secret box still set off codes? I'm also wondering about going with the medium duty 2" spring version on the front and the HD 2" spring version on the rear, mixing the 2 packages offered...

    Thanks Ray, did you hardwire in the "secret sauce" box to get the EAS light off on the dash?

    LR3 / Discovery 3 Coil Conversion +2" Question

    From the AB website, it appears the 2" and HD 2" both use OME springs. Ray, did you replace both front and rear springs with the HD versions? I do a lot of driving (500 miles a week min) and the truck is basically stock, just an ARB fridge in the back unless I'm heading out camping. How is the...

    LR3 / Discovery 3 Coil Conversion +2" Question

    Looks like I'll pull the trigger on this kit tomorrow. Front end continues to drop overnight and had an Eas fault earlier in the week and last night, compressor would come on, lift the front, stop, front would drop, cycle would repeat. Shut it off and restarted and it seemed to fix itself. I...

    LR3 Sway Bar Bushings

    It's going into the shop Thursday to be looked over and replace the rear brakes. It's time to do all the driveline fluids as well. Plus I think the coil conversion will be happening before I head out on summer holidays. That's what happens when you haven't had many repairs and put 50K on it a...

    Tembo Tusk Scottle Recipes, Tips and Tricks

    I discovered during my last camp trip that the cover of my Outbound firebowl fits on top of the Skottle perfectly. Nice bonus.

    Tembo Tusk Scottle Recipes, Tips and Tricks

    I use olive oil and butter for cooking. I dump some water on the grill when I'm finished cooking to soak. I have a chain-mail scrubber if anything has stuck but normally I wipe it with paper towel, dump the water and wipe it clean. I find it cleans up very well and very quickly.

    LR3 Sway Bar Bushings

    I've got a bit of shimmy sometimes when I brake. I'm going to look at these because the control arms are all nice and tight still.

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    I'll likely go the domestic route too because once again, no response to emails from overseas.

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    I've got a Surepower 1314 battery separator. Doesn't open until the main battery is fully charged and closes when the truck is shut off so the main battery doesn't drain. Simple and less than $75.
