Nobody but me notices the slightly increased throaty sounds. I can only hear the 5% increase with the windows down. Its great for extra ground clearance and I have had no issues with state inspections.
Thats a great idea about opening the door - wish I had thought of that. I used my son's...
Agreed, its common to switch the rods for off road use. I use to before I got the IIDtool. I cant imagine running 'lifted' 100% on these twisty mt roads.
I got mine on Amazon - was a good deal at the time. Not so much now:

I had a cheap harbor freight 12v compressor and recently the ARB CKMA12 Air Compressor - both fill the xjack no problem.
Awesome Racehorse! Do you have more pics? Was that start as a winch compatible a-frame, or did you cut up a non-winch one? Mine has 4 bolts into the frame on the front, but I dont see that on yours.
I have the same experiences with x-jack and hi-lifts. I prefer the xjack, but always have inflated it off my air compressor. I cut off my tailpipes just in front of the rear axle, so thats not a good inflation option for me. Plus I never liked the idea of exhaust smell in the truck after using...
In the same boat. Love my OEM A-frame but someday will want to a winch too. I have seen the Lucky8 bumper a couple times in person and think its the best option currently available that embodies the A-frame look. The hidden winch trays are almost just as expensive.
All 2007+ and some late 2006 North America Spec LR3s had TPMS. I didnt think 2005's did, but its odd that your OEM wheels came with wheel sensors and not the have the feature.
With the 275/65 r18 Duratracs it was immediately evident when my tire was rubbing the upper control arm. When my wheel bearing gave out I stopped within 50 feet because of the rumble. No tire damage, but I was stuck until towed. A spacer might be a good insurance policy.
I installed the ARB rear locker: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/142189-LR3-(Discovery3)-ARB-Rear-Locker-installed
Let me know if you have any specific questions.
This exact same thing happened offroading to me twice, six months apart. A little scarry to have the engine acting up out in the wilderness. Cleaning the throttle body at home fixed it. Offroading must shift the fuel trim calibrations enough to cause the idle/stalling issues.
I have had several alignments at my current dealer, and this past alignment fixed my over sensitive DSC annoyance. not all alignments are created equal.
