    Insulated Window Shades

    That's about $215 usd and I figure another $40 for shipping to Hawaii. I sent and inquiry to check price and fitment for a Disco 3.

    Project Victory_Overland 08 LR3 Build Thread!

    Great information on the belt. I'm gonna run this alternator until it quits all together. Some days shes really loud, and others not too bad. Factory with 85k on it so I'm sure it is only before time and the last part needed on the engine accessories. Let me know what you find on the new...

    Another Tyre thread: 33MT Vs 35AT for a 6x6 camper

    I would run BFG AT or GY Duratrac AT as my only two options for all around tires. I think your 2nd to last statement clearly articulates your needs, MT is not one of them when you lay down the percentage of time you may spend in that type of environment where you would need an aggressive MT...

    Lunacy to mount a bike hitch rack to the front of a '97 Disco?

    I don't think anything is lunacy bolted anywhere to a Landy if it serves a legit purpose. Many of us probably wouldn't bat an eye at it. I do think it's illegal in most states though. City buses have them but I know in Hawaii and Cali is a mass transit liability thing as to allow them to be...

    Great write up and advice.

    Silly or OK?

    I'm actually looking to make a hinged ladder for my TR rear bumper on my LR3. Now that I see your drop down step, I am going to see if I can incorporate something similar and hinged as well on my bumper in the back. That would be my only suggestion; you obviously have the fab skills so hinge...

    Land Rover Discovery 5 (LR5?) in the wild

    I forgot to mention I'll be hoping someone will have a smaller brake/wheel mod by then too! :coffee: Still working that part on my D3.

    KGH's Defender

    Sounds like a fantastic trip! Was it worth hiring the Defender camper?

    Project Victory_Overland 08 LR3 Build Thread!

    Cargo/Pet Barrier Picked this little gem up for dirt cheap on CL today. Excellent condition, and I believe for an RRS since it's so short. I plan to modify it to mount behind my driver/passenger seats on top of my sleeping rack project. The flip down will hopefully give me access to the...

    Land Rover Discovery 5 (LR5?) in the wild

    I'm sold on it, I went off topic for the Defender replacement but I like the Disco 5 and the advertised capability. I don't like the price or the loss of the tailgate but in 3 years when I am in my newly used LR4, I'll be window shopping to buy my Disco5 a few years later. It'll still be...

    2017 LR Discovery details

    Very true on all statements. Plus most people who buy a JK are going to add another $10-15k to that price for kit to get the most of their Rubicon. Out of the box, the LR is ready for the trail or family weekend adventure far more than a Jeep on day one IMO. At least of us like minded LR...

    Project Victory_Overland 08 LR3 Build Thread!

    So stoked. This project might happen sooner than expected because I think I'm feeling some control arm bump and wheel bearing vibration. Could be a full weekend under Victory with the entire front drivetrain removed. Nothing can ever be easy....Rover On!:smiley_drive:

    Project Victory_Overland 08 LR3 Build Thread!

    Thanks Ray. I'm going to pick it up this weekend. I am thinking of modifying it to move all the way forward to the back of the front seats when they are laid down. I'm thinking the price is a good score so I can't pass it up. I appreciate your research. E

    LR3 Hitch Options?

    I've used mine for years and other than having to keep it lubricated due to the tight fit and locking internal parts, there is nothing wrong with it for everyday road towing. For off-road, in my opinion it could not be a worse design but let's be honest, LR is not known for towing off-road so I...

    Project Victory_Overland 08 LR3 Build Thread!

    Hope it fits nicely in the LR3 cargo space. It will have to be modified I'm sure but just wondering if it would fit width and height wise? Range Rover Base or Sport you think?

    Cargo cage Anyone know what model LR this cargo cage is for? It's sold locally for dirt cheap so I might pick it up and modify it to my sleeping rack set up one day. You know, add it to my list of parts projects in the corner. Hahaha

    2017 LR Discovery details

    I'll take the coil spring diesel for me! Anyone know if the diesel will be a NAS option? I am guessing the TDV6 will have the 18" wheel option since it says Euro has the 18" option.

    Land Rover Discovery 5 (LR5?) in the wild

    I have no issue with the Discovery design....I actually love it. My post was kind of off track of the initial thread when I went all DEFENDER talk. Just saying we need a poor mans LR to go along with the Disco. I just don't want the price tag cuz I know it's start with a 6 and have 4 ($60k)...
