    Technical LR wheel question.

    Not. I think it's too much stress for a very heavy vehicle. Toddco Height spacers might be ok.

    2006 LR3 w/150k needs new engine & transmission

    I would not hesitate to swap the Engine / Tranny with a lower mileage model from a scrap yard. Just don't pay more for it than another vehicle. I'm not sure why you'd drive with a bad tranny for 6 months, and it seems highly suspect the engine would also go.. Sounds like a head gasket or...

    Technical LR wheel question.

    I sold the set of 5 I had for 500, with tires on them with some tread left. I believe Justin has the 17" rims for the LR3 if you are interested. I would be careful about putting just any rim on, due to the weight of the vehicle. You want to have the correct rims / width.

    LR3 shock valving

    Yes, as no-pistons says. You can rebuilt the air strut, install new seal kit, and replace the damper (shock). I know a place that could do it for you if you wanted to ship them, but I am sure most above average shops could handle it. A lot of folks do use the Bilstein in the UK. The Koni are a...

    08 HSE Rear Fuse Box for Ham?

    Yes, there is a good chance that other things could cause noise or power fluctuation. I ran a dedicated line to an Anderson power pole from a 2nd battery. I have not had any problems or noise. It would be worthwhile to tap the power, and test the radio before you make a final decision. If you...

    08 HSE Rear Fuse Box for Ham?

    I have read of others doing that, too bad the LR3 does not have that configuration. If you want tips, drop me a PM, and I'll send you some ham install pictures on the LR3.

    Windscreen Replacement with a Snorkel...

    I don't know about your model, or the model of your snorkel, but on the LR3 with a Safari snorkel it you could change the windshield without removing it. You can probably get enough room for the trim by removing or loosening the bolts.

    external wiring on an LR3/4

    It depends on where you are terminating the wires. I use the rear door for some fairly large wires with no problem. Running a wire for power under the A pillar cowl, then under then cowl as Scott mentioned is ok as well, I also have runs there. There is a plug in the firewall to the lower right...

    Traxide dual battery system - Which version to get?

    I think it will definitely help while winching but I have been getting by just fine without it. For me, it's more of a want to have, than have to have it. Using snatch block(s) will significantly reduce the load.

    Traxide dual battery system - Which version to get?

    The difference is mainly around the Charging amperage the two units are capable of. I have not had any problems with the 80, however, I have and use a winch so I wanted maximum amperage between the batteries, so I opted to upgrade to the 160, which was not available when I first ordered. In...

    Help with LR3 tire chains or alternatives

    The LR3 is designed to only have something fitted on the front, and there is a special one that LR sells. This is what you are looking for http://www.spikes-spiders.com/ I believe they are made / sold in the US. If you are plowing through a lot of snow and slush it might be nice to have an...

    Traxide dual battery system - Which version to get?

    I do not recommend the ARB, having installed one for a guy in town. I have the Traxide SC80, but ordered the 160 and haven't installed it yet. I did a group buy with a few guys a few months back to save on shipping from Australia. If you want Tim's e-mail address drop me a PM, and then you can...
