    Take a look at the Defender accessories that I am making - Feedback appreciated.

    Trying to get back on track for the OP. I have seen the Tiktaalik stuff first hand and was extremely impressed with the craftsmanship and build quality. I Highly recommend them.

    Its crazy how that little bit of low end helps drivability and it also improve gas mileage

    LR3 Transmission service flush

    I spoke with a few shops about this and the ones that do the service say not to flush after 60k. What they do is drop the cold oil in the pan and refill. drive until hot and drop the fluid and change the pan. Upgrade the sensor Oring fill with fluid and send it on its way.

    Winch mount options - corrosive winter conditions

    I had this happen to me. I crunched the front bumper and I got lucky because it did not smash the $1200 headlight.

    My Disco2 Build

    It is the difference in the 4.6 vs the 4.0 you are seeing. The Hp22 and 24 boxes are the same. The 24 has stronger " larger " internal parts.

    Winch mount options - corrosive winter conditions

    I love the clean look of the hidden mount but the aftermarket bumpers provide extra pertection. Its a hard call but both options are winners

    LR3 Transmission service flush

    I am so up in the air on this. The old school guy says change it often or not at all. Rover says its lifetime leave it alone.

    With all due respect sir. That mud was so bad people that were helping and watching the recovery were falling down. The picture you have would be fantastic in my mind for hill decent.

    I find that sand mode is the go to mode for most things. Rock mode is fantastic if you are trying to finesse over something. Playing with the truck this weekend on a steep slippery hill climb I did a comparison of mud Vs sand modes. MUD When I got half way up the hill and put the petal to the...

    Ok Bring them Yes multiple times. I find that in good traction situations the hill decent is fantastic. Nathan that is not correct. I wrote “ standing on my pedal with 2 feet” to help convey my point on how slippery the hill was. Have you ever tried hill decent on ice? Not a little snow...

    Thats how i started this thread. I was on the D2 was the last REAL Land Rover in the states. Now the Lr3 has become the #1 shop truck. Erik just did a 1300 mile round trip in it where 75mph was the norm. The Lr3 is a hard to beat combo and one of the best Overland vehicles made.

    Jim that is a good looking truck. What you have lost in the converion is the cross link support from the air suspention and the shocks have less travel then the air truck. I really don't know how the train response is working because that is also programmed into the air system. I would...
