    LR3 Hitch Options?

    Design looks great. Fantastic departure angle and more "normal" ball height although Land Rover claims stability in their low receiver design. Guess the higher normal height receiver on a current Land Cruiser or full size truck must be terrible ;) No offense meant but the hardware on that...

    Exactly what is unclear here? :

    Mercedes-Benz G500 4×4²

    What about the suspension you are using? Is it a dual system like the 4x4^2 ? The MB spring and damper kit looks pretty trick.

    2015 Sprinter 4x4 build begins

    nice size, it's the mud crawler size ideal for my disco 2 ;) skinny and tall. I assume you got E load range....why the high pressure in rear when it's essentially unloaded and 75 is only maybe 5lbs under max rating ? Seems it will make it way too harsh and for no real benefit. I could see 60...

    2015 Sprinter 4x4 build begins

    Well that's strange/interesting but I would expect, maybe naively, that current vehicles have the speedometer and odometer sourced from same on board information and thus more or less, "synchronized". I have tested this on my BMW 2008 which has sppedo, odo, and nav input against my iphone...

    Newbie moving to the USA

    Who's the favorite/best land rover tech in the area there? I have a 2004 at a friend's house that needs the ABS diagnosed to remove the 3 dash warning lights associated with that system. I found tow places, one down near where 95N runs into the 495 beltway and the 395 spur, little northeast of...

    Spotted some testing diesel Rangies stateside

    I don't understand why you wouldn't be jumping at the opportunity to spend $100,000 - $120,000 on a new 2016 Range Rover for the sake of having an 800 mile fuel range ;) These are just plain goofy now. The lr3 would have been very nice with what AJM calls a lesser 2.7 tdi. Now the LR4 is...

    Which Lr3 Sump Guard

    Looks pretty good. How's the carrier going to mount on the bumper?

    Which Lr3 Sump Guard

    Not true. Rasta was also fully available in 2007. ~6-8mm ? aluminum. I have the 2 large under belly plates covering the entire front end and transmission plus the radiator guards.

    2015 Sprinter 4x4 build begins

    You've got it backwards. If actual speed is 5% lower than what is on speedometer. The vehicle odometer arrives at any given distance before you've actually traveled that far. The "5% longer warranty" only works when using a tire large enough such that your true speed is higher than the...

    Calling LR3 and LR4 lowers, loyalists, cool aid drinkers and skeptics...

    Compared to a 335 sedan there are quite a few more systems on the 535 wagon to go haywire so it's less of a luck issue than entirely different car. The 2 piece hatch and load leveling rear suspension and issues the panoramic sunroof to name a few.

    Time for new tires<

    I was wondering why the EPA would be hassling LED lamps..... Wheel weights...LEAD, not Led... ;)

    2015 Sprinter 4x4 build begins

    Dealer: "As far as the super single tires, it appears that they are available on the 4X4 3500 Sprinters." Me: "About the super single, I swear that online they were not available on 4x4. Using the online configuration tool, it's not connected with 4x4. I used "cargo van", then it shows the...

    Comparing Discovery Sport and Subaru Outback

    No, I think you misinterpret what some people, me anyway, mean in talking about vehicle size. For me it's more about proportion and what shape and volume of interior space do I get for the external footprint. Many of these smaller vehicles are kind of crap in terms of interior space to...

    2008 diesel land cruiser for sale?!?

    Good grief, sounds like same BS vehicle/ad discussed beyond sense on IH8MUD. - What about the photo of the AHC system...? I didn't think LC 200 in USA ever had that option.

    G500 or LR4?

    Despite your forum name, is it possible you don't actually know much about the newer Land Rovers? LR3 windshield is heated, "oem" by Pilkington is $500-$600 parts (from a local auto glass shop), Factory is about $900-$1000 from dealer, but neither is anywhere near $160 for a heated windshield...

    Comparing Discovery Sport and Subaru Outback

    No, I think it's that the photo you posted is not of the nicest Subaru offering. He is correct about the "Limited" builds being their nicest interior and therefor a better comparison in the above array of vehicles.

    2015 Sprinter 4x4 build begins

    Interesting, passenger/full windows! What are the plans? My dealer thinks he can order a super single-3500 (for added GVWR and towing) plus 4x4...and high roof. I asked him to "prove it" because the online builder does not allow that combo.
