    LR3 owners sound off, which tires?

    I went though 3 sets and every-single-one died of weak sidewall before they wore out. Some were only weeks old. Be careful around rocks!!

    LR3 owners sound off, which tires?

    Just to follow up - I am loving BFG KM3's 285/70-17 on BMX X5 rims (no spacers) over LR3 v6 brakes with OEM front and rear bumper and +1" lift. I had to trim the front wheel well liners and pull them forward to the washer fluid bottle. sometimes still rubs lightly on full lock in reverse when...

    LR4 fridge placement

    Dometic CFX40 fits 'level' in 2nd row with a 2x4. This was a test run and just a ratchet strap works great. I have had the fridge for 5 years without 2nd battery and no problems,

    LR3 and LR4 Brake Life

    @nwoods This is definitely worse case driving....and that was on the smaller v6 brakes rotors if memory serves me. Good to see you back around here lately. Getting back in the LR ?family? On OEM v8 brakes: I got 35-37k on pads, 65k miles on rotors. Use: typical rural mixed driving, w/32"...
