    New MANTEC Product for Discovery/LR 3/4 - Overhead Storage

    About the same time it takes to replace the glass on our seven seater NAS wagons because we throw heavy stuff up there that breaks glass.......:wings: In all seriousness, I like it, but would love it more if there was one reachable from the front seats or overhead like Defenders have. I know...

    Water pump

    I think it comes down to availability and cost for some of us. I don't disagree with you one bit, on the same sense I don't agree with my decision or ColoDisco's either. My markup with shipping cost to Hawaii is another $50 minimum over the standard LR price on a good day. Amazon if I can...

    LR3 Suspension Help

    First, I believe it to be fairly common for the truck to sag a bit after years. Mine moves a bit once I start it, compressor fires right up and auto levels a degree or two. Especially with the 145lb bumper on the front. Unless the compressor is running all the time, I think your momentary...

    Master Lock makes a really good set up we use on our commercial vehicles! http://www.1st-in-padlocks.com/770-masterlock-hidden-shackle-solid-steel-padlock-hasp-p-726.html?linkfr=fr&gclid=Cj0KEQjwqfvABRC6gJ3T_4mwspoBEiQAyoQPkey_aaWIU0azVZesp-smQoTaKp_a7ISnXZDYPilBoOgaAkc28P8HAQ And the lock is...

    I would think it is a bit of quality control on both ends from LR and ARB. My TR bumper is not 100% straight but I know my truck is because I measured corner to corner and cross bolt patterns. The body shop also did the same thing after the accident to show none of my crumple points were...

    LR3 OEM Locker intsall, is it possible?

    That's good info. I can't imagine the axles are different lengths but I wonder if the inner splines are different size and spline count?

    Man, so disappointed in the troubles you had with your front and rear bumpers. I honestly didn't have any problems and my front took a good bump so the alignment of the bumper showed the truck was straight. Even though the body shop already confirmed it, I had suspicion I may have alignment...

    LR3 OEM Locker intsall, is it possible?

    No worries at all. There are many more on here with much more technical experience on the task that might chime in with more accurate info. If I blow my diff, it might be good information to know as an upgrade then so I'll surely be paying attention because I think its a great thread to learn...

    Give me the truth, are Land Rovers complete crap?

    I bet the one I rear ended with my Land Rover was! I know my Rover drove away but it didn't....hahaha In all seriousness, my Landy wasn't cheap to fix either but I did all the work myself. I would love an old school Toyota Troopy 75, just want a Defender first.

    LR3 OEM Locker intsall, is it possible?

    I'm no expert on the process but from what I know its a beast of a job for a non-LR3 to a HD-LR3. I was told once, but can't confirm that an LR4 is easy because its wired already and a flash gets you the software needed to coincide with the EAS/Traction Control. I do not have a locker in my...

    Give me the truth, are Land Rovers complete crap?

    Well said. I didn't want to get into politics but you are absolutely right! Funny how history is written down and we still make the same mistakes over and over; just so happens the next time is usually much more catestrophic.

    Give me the truth, are Land Rovers complete crap?

    Surprisingly enough, the history behind that shows the decline in the very two companies who owned Land Rover/Jaguar back then; BMW and Ford, which were both failing companies when they offloaded the LR/Jag brand. Also to keep in mind, when Ford bought LR, they got a deal because BMW couldn't...
