Do you have a pic of the rear end? If the spare tire hangs below the rear bumper, then it has the space saver tire, and pretty much guarantees non-HD package. But in all honesty, I'd take a well taken care of non-HD truck over a questionable HD truck. The Traction control actually works very...

@Victory_Overland thanks for the info. Yeah I just gotta decide to dive into it and make it happen. I'm starting to put together my parts list and its making my wallet shiver. But if I end up doing another out west trip, it'll be worth it.

Thank you. I was just wondering how easy it is to access the upper control arms. At first glance, they look difficult to get to. But I think maybe disconnecting the ball joint and pushing the arm up would help. Also I think removing the strut (which I probably need new struts) would assist in...

Another question: Anyone done upper control arms as well? I think I've got a bad upper control arm on the front passenger side. Can you get to the bolts or not so much? I haven't had a chance to sit down and study on it. Probably need to do struts as well.

X whatever for Roamerdrive. I complained the entire time I was paying them, and it has turned into a great investment. In my part of the US, I have to use interstates and I need to AT LEAST do 60 mph. I can do it nicely with the Roamerdrive. But be careful. If your engine isn't in good shape...

P38s have a bad reputation. But if its been taken care of and you will continue to take care of it, then it'll be a good car. However, for giggles, go look into 07-09 Range Rovers. Surprisingly, they have very good reliability. Not as classic as a P38, but a far superior vehicle

Any chance you can grab photos of the mountings for the 3rd row handles? I've got a 5 seater and looking to install 3rd row handles for such items like this. Thank you.

These are very good pieces of equipment and primarily used in the logging industry. That said, using a hand winch is scary AF. They make all kinda weird noises and you standing there, cranking away like, "Is this thing going to explode, kill me, and send my truck to doom??" So it will...

After driving my LR3 for 10 months, if you find a very nice non-rear locker vehicle that checks all the boxes other than rear diff lock, get it. The traction control on these is pretty darn good.

Nice! Thank you for this write up!!!

I haven't but its on my to-do list. I didn't know they re-designed the coolant bottle, so full replacement makes sense. Guess I'll go that route as well. Why not.

Fun fact: The sensor Part number is PCJ500030 and is a serviceable item. I've got the same issue. X2 on the cooling system. I'll be doing a full cooling system. Full flush (wondering about flushing the heater core?), new hoses, new pump, new fan clutch (had one go bad on a previous vehicle...

Sorry for your loss. Begin the parts removal!!

Nice! Glad ya'll enjoyed your trip!!

Old 4x4s are now worth money. No one wants to go put a dent in the fender of their vehicle that has appreciated +$30k in the last few years. Heck I know rover guys who are selling their NAS Defenders because they aren't comfortable using them off road. They are all getting grey market trucks...

Yes the hitch is removable. Actually kinda nice. Going rate on Ebay is ~$350-400 currently. There are two styles. One that looks long and one that looks short. Get a short one. The longer one apparently isn't as strong. X2 on checking to see if its in there. Keep up on fluid and filter...

X2 bearings aren't too bad. Just get quality bearings and seals (Timken if possible, extremely good brand, but so is SKF). If you don't want to mess with it, get a bearing kit, pull the hub, and take it to a machine shop. They can take care of it for you. My local shop does it for $15. I pull...

Ah I see it now. Very interesting. Best part? They are available from 4 Wheel Parts! LOL Kindly pricey though. But Bilstein has a good reputation. If its a street truck and you like performance, that is probably a good option.

I'm starting to see LHD D90s with TDI engines for around $30k. However they are in SUPER nice drive-away shape. They "might" be worth it. Talking with various individuals locally, there is a demand for a "reliable" vintage 4x4 to keep at a mountain/lake house. Their budgets are typically in the...

Uhhh...please explain a bit more. The rear LR3 air struts are shocks AND springs all in one unit. The Bilsteins are just shocks. Therefore by themselves, they won't work. I would say just use Arnott since I don't think your alternative is even a viable option.
