It took me about 3.5 to 4 hours with help only to get the rack on the rover. That was after forgetting to put the rail bolts in before the air deflector. I had an issue with 1 rail on the bottom being unable to get the bolt in. I found that too late. I have 7 of the 8 installed and will work...

So you just left the rear gutter empty? Any negative issues leaving them empty?

So I'm installing my new front runner rack which replace the factory rails. My rear rails have a built in rubber lining so when I remove the rails there is only the gutter. The front portion of the gutter (from about the front of the rear rail) has a rubber lining that runs to the front of the...

Patience I got 4 in I believe 3 transactions. Lookout on eBay and try Wheelsandcaps.com and Theautopartshop.com as well. I think 1 was refinaihed/ refurbished and it looked brand new. Honestly, I can not really tell the difference unless I am washing them. If you are off-roading on them they...

I have BFG at/ko2s 265/65/18's with 2.5" Johnson Rods. I have about 6k on them including some off road miles. Truck definitely handles differently but I like the 3.25" increase to stock tires. Road noise is neglible, it's a land rover and well insulated.

I was doing an off road course, lots of jeeps. Guide suggested that range, I thought it sounded low and at end of day he agreed. Truck did handle better, I could tell the difference. We did half day at stock pressure (I run 35 & 45) which is a couple pounds heavier than spec. My beast was...

Is there a significant difference between a regular alignment at a reputable shop vs. one done at an land rover dealer using "tight tolerances"? Need to do alignment given ours has of Johnson rods and simply making decision out of convenience of using a non-LR shop. Thanks Kent

First off roading, aired down to 15psi which we felt afterward was too low. Would do 18-20 next time. Was able to remove stick with no issues. I'd have been pretty disappointed to blow a new tire in <250 miles.

Yes, used LR3 rims from an SE. By the way, purchased separately from 3 different sources. I was nervous they would not match but they're fine. 2 were remanufactured and looked brand new so if you scout them out you can find them having need repainted/ finished. Folks at work thought I bought...

Oh, I also bought new set of tpms sensors so now I have complete set of 19"s to get rid of to someone who thinks bigger rims are cool ... The mechanics of getting the tire mounted by a different guy whom I purchased from added some complexities.

So I wanted to move from 19" to real off-road tire for my LR3. I used eBay and Google to search out used 10 spoke 18" rims. I think I paid between $125 to $160 each rim delivered. There were not perfect, neither were they after I got them off-road the first time. I got a set of used Johnson...

Mortimer after new tires (265/65-18 BFG AT KO2s) and his first off road trip at Rausch Creek park in PA. Btw, ran part of trip at 15psi which we determined was too low. Will try 18-20 next time. second shot here was a close call on tires only about 350 miles old.

What's the logic? s this a function of a larger tire size vs stock 255/55-18? Stock LR3 is approx 33/41? I just purchased BFG ATKO2 265/65-18 and wondering what I should be running for DD. Your response is helpful, but just wondering WHY the 20%+ increase?

So word is in .... Right front wheel bearing is shot. My mechanic (whom I trust more than my dentist) also noted the one on the other side is need of replacement and has some play and should be replaced. He indicated they do not have to be replaced in pairs but suggested it. I'm looking at...

A grinding noise developed quickly on the right front of my 2008 LR3 w/ 80k miles whenever I turn left. This happened very quickly ... like I heard a noise on a few left turns of my last few drives and then I all the sudden it will make a noise whenever I turn even slightly left. There is no...

I had success rebuilding the part. No kit, just removing taking apart, cleaning and reassembling.

Some thoughts: if you want to take off-road I think most folks on this site will tell you you want the 18" wheels to give you better tire choice (really any tire choice). This will force a review of $600 in rims against HSE upgrades. I got a 2008 LR3 HSE w/ 70k miles for I think $21k. I've had...

I've read quite a number of posts and sites; a bit dizzying for the neophyte. I have 2008 LR3 HSE w/ 19"'s tires that need replacement. I've already picked up and installed a set of Johnson Rods and it was a quick and easy install; might have been less than 15 minutes. I will be buying refurb...

Well, my weekend upgrade project got a little more challenging. I broke 2 of the 3 clips (of course bottom ones) that hold the air compressor housing to the truck frame. Shouldn't be too difficult to find replacement parts. However, I could not figure out how to remove the 2 rear air...

Auto-level questi So how far will the LR3 auto-leveling system drop the truck? I'm fairly certain my rear valve block is bad so the truck sags overnight. But without pulling the fuse, battery or leaving the door open, the rear is still much lower (I think on bump stops) but the front is a...
