Side note: I like those 12v outlets. Did you tap into local 12v+ connectors in the back or did you pull wire from the battery? I could easily add a 12v and a couple of USB connections in the back of mine.

I've driven the new disco 5 on the LR Biltmore course. I was fairly impressed. But that said it was a controlled course and they wouldn't put the vehicle on something it wouldn't do. I could see the new "crawl control" being a benefit. But really 2 speed transfer case with a rear locker would...

Yeah I've done the fly-in thing. Get giant duffel bags and bring your sleeping bag and pad. Assuming you are traveling solo, then just sleep in the back. Get a foam cooler or the cheapest coleman you can find, and go. You can pack camping pots and pans and basic utensils. When you land, cruise...

There was a SCV6 + HD in white over at Land Rover Gwinnett a few days ago. Gwinnett, GA. Give them a call. Fly down and get you a rust free truck that is fully kitted.

I'd recommend this kit: https://www.amazon.com/Boulder-Tools-Motorcycle-Trailer-Puncture/dp/B01E635PGA/ref=sr_1_6?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1532966065&sr=1-6&keywords=safety+seal+plug+kit But yes, get a tire plug kit. Seems to ward off issues...now that I've said that, I'm going to get...

Assuming you know how to operate the vehicle (proficient in driving, proficient in driving off road, knowledge of the 4WD systems and use of traction control), then yes. My suggestion would be to get some funtreks books (funtreks.com, also on amazon if you prefer that flavor) to get some ideas...

Which engine do you have? For the most part, most alternator mountings are the same. So its just how it is clocked and wired.

Ok that makes sense. Yeah just trying to program everything...once. Lots of linked repeaters in Colorado. Linked full time. Pretty cool to see that.

Another question: I'm running into a number of repeaters in Colorado have have different uplink and downlink tones. I guess I really need to pay attention to this? Or not so much? We don't really have downlink tones here on the east coast. Example: Vail repeater.

Do you often have LR3s in for parts? I'm always looking for spares.

Update: There is an extra bracket needed. I went and talked to my local LR dealer and their prices...nah. So for the time being, I'm going to hold off on the project. Also I'm working on the headliner this weekend (leaking sunroof, which is what got this all going, but found out I can probably...

Has anyone seen how the overhead grab handles attach? Does it screw into the body? Are there bungs behind the headliner? I have a 5 seat LR3, but am going to install 3rd row grab handles so I can install some overhead storage. Using stock grab handles to keep it looking clean. I've already got...

X Whatever on the Safety seal kit. I've had mine for like, 15 years. Finally ran through all of the plugs. Bought replacement plugs and goo online. Good for another 15 years. I don't go on ANY road trip in ANY car (old 4x4, new 4x4, sedan, hatchback, heck I'll pack it in my luggage if I'm...

That is what I've been using. But I'm wondering more about the repeaters that actually have traffic on them and aren't dead. Like here in the southeast, TONS of dead repeaters. Nothing going on. Obviously I wouldn't want to rely on such if needed.

Thank you! That is a very good start!

I'm planning a trip through Colorado here soon and wanting to pre-program my radio with the local repeaters before departing. I'm not taking a computer and programming radios without a cable is always some fun...that I don't want to do. My trip goes from Trinidad, through Salida to Ouray-area...

A rear locker is obviously very good to have. If you plan on doing a lot of off roading and visiting OHV/ORV parks regularly then I think it is probably a good idea/investment. However that doesn't seem like the case. With that in mind, I'd say learn to drive with traction control. Its...

Awesome work on the rear diff. Two extra nights in a hotel is cheaper and easier than doing it yourself.

Careful, Dealers are not keen on giving out that information. That said, ask if the XXXXX service has been done. If the compressor and A arms have been replaced. If the battery, tires, brakes, etc. They can give you insight into that, but won't provide you with a print-out history. Which is BS...

Switch over and get the google wifi. One hooks up to your modem and the other network together to mesh your house. I can get decent signal with line-of-sight- to about 40ft away from my house (through a window). So yeah, buy the three pack, put 2 in your house and one in the trailer. Done. And...
