    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    There isn't much to see of mine because it's mostly hidden or hard to reach. There's basically a dual filler by way of two tubes leading from behind the single oem cap. I have no idea about the fuel intake, etc. Mine was already working on another lr3 before being removed in process of...

    diesel Evoque under consideration for USA

    Exactly. I had a loaner Evoque for a few days. I hated almost everything about it. Handling was awful. View out of it was awful, in most directions actually, but completely useless past the B pillar. Access to back seats was terrible, worse than a Mini or my '68 VW Beetle. Driver seat...

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    Does tell him which brand though. L8 has terrible website as well. No sliders listed for lr3. Only AL ones I'm aware of are Rasta "sill" protectors, not really a "slider". More specific info?

    2009-2012 or NEW 2013 G class for overlanding?

    Well, thank you for the offer....I'm lucky to know someone from the IH8mud forum with a 2013 and 33" Goodyear Duratracs but on factory suspension parts. I have been driving on "10 ply" tires for the past 12 years on the Land Rovers, although the air suspension is entirely different than yours...

    2009-2012 or NEW 2013 G class for overlanding?

    No, waited and waited. Currently my 2007 Land Rover LR3, with over $30,000 in additional modifications/ad ons (including labor), is in the shop for strange transmission issue and new front end bushings (93,000 miles). Luckily, if you look past the initial investment, the extended warranty I...

    2009-2012 or NEW 2013 G class for overlanding?

    USA residents cannot actually license/register for public use, any G other than the NAS G550, G63, or previous years G55, G500, unless you go much older like G320/280 or anything older than 25 years. So, a new Endecker is impossible regardless of $$$ or $$$$$$$ ;) We could set up a G500 in...

    Expedition Portal Project: 2008 Range Rover Sport

    Well, I hate the lr3 seats, all of them lumbar or no lumbar. For a $55-65k vehicle I think it is just plain corporate greed. If I were to go through the trouble of sourcing seats, which I may, it would be range rover seats, preferably from the 06 supercharged or the "lux" seat option in an hse...

    LR3 Questions

    So what "part" is the culprit? I assume it must be the electric motor/release or a switch.

    ....this site, lots of cool stuff: http://www.okoffroad.com/stuff-sandladders-aluminum.htm Apparently two sizes/strengths available in the aluminum sand tracks. Expedition Exchange is also good.

    LR3 Ownership Update - Eight Weeks

    You should read up on the sand/mud/bridge ladder review on this EP website. Search ought to dig it up easily. My experience is with the Maxtrax other people have and the fiberglass waffle boards I got before ever reading about all this stuff or knowing about the forums. The waffle boards are...

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    Well, maybe you were not aware the tank is in fact available. I have an extra tank and so do some other people in the US. I've heard the Australian Long Ranger tank is available again through another US supplier. You simply need to contact them and spend $2000 or so including labor to make it...

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    Unfortunately, no, the fuel range is one of the least important downsides of the LR3/4 as it is the very easiest to deal with by simply bringing extra fuel in jerry cans or by adding another tank both of which can easily double the range. There is a long list of things much more limiting such...

    Front Runner vs Eezi awn roof rack. Your opinion

    I think you should also look into the Hannibal rack. The slats have a center mounting channel that a standard bolt head fits into and they run front to back for better aerodynamics. I have one and the Hannibal awnings that mount to the side rail are also very cool as they are fully self...

    200 Series questions-~Touareg tdi

    FYI, introducing reality: Those "POS" vans outsell the LC by more than 3x every year since 2002. Guess all those people didn't "want them".... The LC is a great vehicle, but I think "you're stupid" if you can only see a world where once or two types of vehicles makes sense. Not everyone...

    where are the Porsche cayenne expo builds?

    Well, in the front it's all one thing/integrated, thus why it's called a "strut" right? So yes, Arnott makes the whole replacement item...
