    Baja Rack Accessories?

    The roof is not such a great place for the heavy high-lift... best simple exterior place is on front bumper, next is on rear swing out tire carrier. best for long term and out of the weather is in between the wheel wells in the slot where the factory cargo cover would go between 2nd and 3rd...

    New product from Proud Rhino! The SYA Off Road Extension Kit

    $388, not $500. Anyone buying dumb rods is wasting $ and dreaming. Put that $100 toward an electronic lift tool.

    New product from Proud Rhino! The SYA Off Road Extension Kit

    Mine have a bolted on "cap" plate. This makes it replaceable and inspectable.

    Compomotive Wheels?

    I have a source for 9x18 ET 45 land rover bore and bolt pattern... I'm thinking of trying it. Anyone using a 285 or wider would benefit from the more ideal rim width to tire width relationship. I realize the biggest issue will be fender edge. 45 ET will put the back edge right about where a...

    Ha, that was 2008 I think. Went two more times, second time used the roof tent which is perfect for 4 days set up in one spot. One of the cool things about being up higher is the breeze. I have been considering a super simple and lightweight idea using a narrow backpacking tent on a...

    New product from Proud Rhino! The SYA Off Road Extension Kit

    Here's what I have to start with as measured today: Did a quick "test" just by hand with tape measure but it came out to -18mm F and -45mm R. This is using the LLAMS tool from factory "access" height to lowest the LLAMS will do on a mid MY 2007 lr3. They told me that late 07+ will do a -30...

    Compomotive Wheels?

    As I understand it, you cannot make an ET 30 into an ET 53...it's going the wrong direction. You'd have to machine off the ET 30 wheel to turn it into ET 50. If you start with an ET 30 and mount it on a 30mm spacer, then you'd end up with ET 0 effectively on the lr3, which will not really...

    Even then you'd still need to spend $2500 on proper wheels and tires!

    This is just for you, but because I respect you as a fellow LR purist, be warned to finish your coffee or chewing anything so you don't choke upon opening this link...

    I'll try. Recently haven't been able to post photos here. At a 3 day music fest. Rained each afternoon/night. Awnings especially nice here for privacy and cooking in the rain. Shown with the 3 part side walls which are 3 separate zippered sides so you can choose any combination of the 3...

    4 cylinder diesel option for future LR?

    I thought the "newer" engine was already in the Range Rover for 2016? Maybe that's what you meant, that a Disco 5 will likely get the same as the TDV6 RR. A driver test in Idaho or somewhere stated 30 mpg on the highway for a decently long enough trip to test. I'm loving the sound of that...

    BFG T/A KO2 in 275/55/20 on LR4

    Well ****, then I'd never get "there" ! Honestly, part of why I like rolling interstate at normal height, is to be doing it safely at 80 in WA, 85-90 in MT, etc. It's amazing how well the LR3 can still behave even loaded to 8000 lbs if you keep the center of gravity low and well sprung. You...

    BFG T/A KO2 in 275/55/20 on LR4

    I don't think I ever said "shouldn't". I wanted to make it clear that there is no fooling yourself that is it "just as safe". All my Land Rovers are lifted ;) but there's a difference in lifting a solid axle vs independent suspension vehicle. For example, the vehicle track is narrower on a...

    Compomotive Wheels?

    I hope you're not correct. That would be $716 USD each.

    2nd on the battery. I used Optima for years and then the replacements or ones going into next vehicle just started dying too quickly. So far one of my Odessey is showing strong numbers 7 years on. The vehicle mounted awning has pros and cons too. It's only usable right there beside it so you...

    "stupid" ? Yes, you do sound like someone who would suggest depending on ice in the middle of nowhere ;) Ignorance is bliss until you push it onto someone else. Everyone knows about coolers and ice. I offer up ideas that someone may not have come with as obviously so that they might choose...
