    Dual Battery Installation in LR3

    Thanks but maybe I didn't already say so but I have a system installed already that does work just fine. It doesn't show battery status or charge a trailer set of batteries but for a classic dual/backup it works perfectly. I obviously then also have both batteries already and wouldn't need...

    Dual Battery Installation in LR3

    Thank you for the info. About the wiring, you mean with Traxide? I'd probably opt for any sort of pre-thought out harness available with the kit.

    Dual Battery Installation in LR3

    I've heard the National Luna system is also very good. Did you compare both of these and why did you go with the Traxide? I have what appears very basic, the Wrangler, but always seems to work. I couldn't find the source on Atlantic British anymore but ironically found this link...

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    I'd like to hear the results. Specifically in the rear at full drop because spacers will actually make the rubbing worse in rear fenders liners due to the shape of the liner and moving the tire into a zone of less clearance. As for 18" and lr4, is this some attempt to use factory 18" wheels by...

    Wheel advice

    Without direct experience, it's best to not post at all or at least to qualify such statements with something like "I thought I read...."

    Discovery Sport vs. Grand Cherokee Overland vs. 4Runner TRD

    ^ Yes, GX wss my first thought. Reliability but should have a number of nice lux interior features. I'd expect maybe ventilated seats? I find it amazing you can option an LR4 to $70k+ but no seat ventilation, hardly even an acceptable seat in the first place. The LR4 has become NOT a good...

    GAP Diagnostic– new products / IIDTool update announcement 12/2013

    flatbed tomorrow. AAA "premier" 200 miles. My fav dealer, ~240 miles, roughly $160 out of pocket for the overage or no cost to least fav dealer location. I'll pay the $3.80/ 40 miles and get this last big ticket item under the warranty ;)

    GAP Diagnostic– new products / IIDTool update announcement 12/2013

    If my lr3 is having a locking issue, can the IIDtool figure out what is the source? Symptom is: normally attempt to lock all doors with key fob button, sounds like doors lock, front 2 doors DO lock, but all three rear doors/hatch do NOT lock. Opening any of the unlocked ones results in alarm...

    GAP Diagnostic– new products / IIDTool update announcement 12/2013

    well that sounds like a neat toy. I'm going to look it up. Had not heard of a "kit" until now.

    GAP Diagnostic– new products / IIDTool update announcement 12/2013

    The way I understand it's function, this is where the LLAMS interface is also a nice addition to the mix. I'd like to find out for sure though.

    USA Defender Officially Coming?

    Thanks but it's not quite that much weight as you're not removing it from the very tip of the A frame. Also, there might be only one battery and it's not like it's a nice huge AGM that I have under my lr3 hood. Regardless, it doesn't make the design any less bad or lazy. I'm pretty much...

    Discovery 4 / LR4 Auxiliary Long Range Tank

    great tenting set up. I'm sure the kids love it, both young and old ;)

    Discovery 4 / LR4 Auxiliary Long Range Tank

    Any photos showing the foxwing in use? I really like some aspects of my Hannibal awnings and "rooms" the accessory walls create but a 270 degree awning connecting a larger area would be better in some situations.

    Discovery 4 / LR4 Auxiliary Long Range Tank

    Every time I see these updates I feel more glad I got my tank done when I did. Although I do plan to ad in a 2nd pump similar to how this one was implemented.

    USA Defender Officially Coming?

    This just pisses me off more about another brand that offers all the "cool models" outside of the North American market. Airstream only sells the standard super tongue heavy, non-winterized, models here. The massive tongue weights, due to axle placement, result in pretty much requiring a heavy...

    Overland Journal: G-Wagen

    Well, if there's any confusion on what's inside an E63 prior to the twin turbo 5.5 version, it is cleared up the moment the engine is started. The naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 sounds much more raw than the 5.5L TT :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-AMG

    4x4 Sprinter Camper Van...! Whoa...

    It is pretty silly to waste so much $ too often on something so easy to create yourself. I'd try proper snow or studded tires before jumping to a 4x4 just for that solution ;)

    LR3/4 second battery (deep cycle) option

    I'm using a 31, the 2150 but the plastic tray had to be cut out to fit and some relocation of other things. Seems worth it though: http://shop.odysseybattery.com/p/31m-pc2150st-m Still had space to mount the arb air compressor in front driver side corner.
