    Tire setup for winter adventure LR3

    Just keep in mind cost of buying 5 for larger to have a usable spare vs only really needing 4 if you stay stock size. I never travel without a matching full size spare but then I have only needed the spare a few times in 400,000 miles. Well, not so much the cost but remembering to get 5 if you...

    Lucky8’s Project Discovery 3

    Did this lucky8 lr3 have the rear wheel well/fender hvac lines? Does anyone know a thread or person on here where the lines have been totally removed? I can't remember what exactly they are for but I thought it was not as simple as to and from the rear heat/ac ? I'm curious about removing...

    LR3 owners sound off, which tires?

    Interesting about the new TG and the warranties. Almost as good as the 70,000/6yr on my Michelin LTX MS2. Wow, look at those sizes coming on line soon too: LT 265/65x18 , LT 265/70x18 and LT 275/65x18 The main reason I'd left them long ago was due to limited sizes and the wider proportion of...

    Tire setup for winter adventure LR3

    No, I don't think you can say a blanket statement like that because in some circumstances where a "regular" driver may find themselves, P is not simply "fine". Nor are they necessarily "fine" on roadways depending on the conditions. I think XL is the very minimum that should be used on this...

    LR3 owners sound off, which tires?

    One of the nicest factory delivered tires I ever had were on both my 1996 Discovery and then again on the 2004. The Michelin XPC 4x4. It had such a nice blend of highway rolling and really quite good off road traction. The 96 had 16" wheels and the 04 18". That was an XL but neither of those...

    LR3 owners sound off, which tires?

    LR3 with oem 255/55x19 factory recommendation is 33/42. The door spec is purely for the oem tire sizes, not any of these oversized tires in the discussion. I prefer the E tires but I do not think the vehicle should necessarily be sold with an E load tire when the vast majority of buyers never...

    Tire setup for winter adventure LR3

    Would be cool to meet you all for the BCDR. Just OR? I've been thinking about doing some of WA on my dual sport bike but I usually like to bring along too much stuff for that ;) I don't recall my tests for max added height. However, I then added the LLAMS interface which is really the...

    ^Cannonball & jerdog, thanks! Yes, Kaymar with tire carrier moved toward middle. I'll post another for you from the rear. Put it on myself in 2007.

    Tire setup for winter adventure LR3

    Oh, about the IIDtool workings. First, it is also for reading "CEL" codes on the dash, and clearing them. It's always nice to know if the code is "important" or can wait. For the EAS settings, there are 3 saved spots open. So you could choose something like a -25mm in "1" for super dropped...

    Tire setup for winter adventure LR3

    First, the electronic tool allows fine tuning exactly what is desired and changing as per conditions may warrant. First of all, you don't NEED the larger tires in the first place. Go with any number of E range 31.5" tires and you'll be perfectly fine for years. No rubbing and room to spare...

    LR3 Roof Antenna

    Anyone know how I might REMOVE the dome/fin contraption while retaining GPS/nav? I don't care if it means SAT radio is lost. The dome/bump is often in my way for various roof mounting ideas. For example, my bridging ladders fit perfectly sitting on top of the factory tracks (basically...

    Tire setup for winter adventure LR3

    Rods are a waste of $ and also ad in new problems such as running too tall full time and camber issues which all effect handling, safety, fuel economy, etc. Spend $400 on the IIDtool which will also save you in certain situations where the rods may actually cause you to be more stuck due to...

    Lucky8’s Project Discovery 3

    I agree, that western photo looks like the surface is full of fine gravel which makes for fairly good traction in my experience. For the mud you experienced, did nobody think of using snow chains? I've been in mud like that once, where you could barely walk around without falling. It is more...

    Tire setup for winter adventure LR3

    You stated this yet it sounds like you are jumping on the bandwagon or are going for looks more than true function. The minute you want to be playing off road and end up putting 50% of the vehicle weight onto two tires you have pushed a non E rated tire to near or past it's intended design...

    Drool Worthy Machine!!!

    So it's shinny. I don't see much "bling" though aside from the 20" wheels which are at least black and not chrome! Put in some taller springs, factory 16" wheels, let it get a little dusty and it would be pretty sweet. Closest affordable thing to this in the US is a Mercedes G500

    Seriously Considering a 2006-2007 100 series

    Is that list in order? Why are you in the lx now versus the G. Well, it depends a little on the G model. ?
