    where are the Porsche cayenne expo builds?

    Sweet well integrated bumper for the LX. Who makes that? Would be incredible on that type of vehicle in aluminum.

    Choosing a landcruiser

    Isn't the front end, meaning the torsion bar system, the primary limiting factor in how most people seem to want to "build" up a LC?

    Land Cruiser KDSS explained

    I don't think it's possible for the 200 to provide more wheel travel at the front wheels due to the independent suspension. At the rear I would think the KDSS helps provide a looser system when needed whereas the Jeep is a set system right? Meaning KDSS allows the system to change whereas a...

    2015 discovery sport

    I think you must have spent your eye insurance money on a land rover extended warranty....because the "Discovery Sport" looks nothing like a Mercedes. It does however look almost exactly like the 2015 Ford Explorer....

    LR3 Ownership Update - Eight Weeks

    That was kind of crazy bouncy. I don't think the LR3 would do so well with our small volume tires. Yes, the lr3 could be fun with 37's! ;) You mentioned earlier " 6) Surprise! Drivers side front sway bar link is missing from vehicle. Install a new one." Was this not apparent in the handling...

    LR3 Ownership Update - Eight Weeks

    anyone on this forum, if truly high centered, would have cleared out the snow, then gone in reverse down the hill allowing gravity to help. his rage was so consuming that he couldn't even think.

    LR3 Ownership Update - Eight Weeks

    There has got to be something wrong with this person because the Jeep Cherokee must be more capable in the right hands. funny video found on lucky8 facebook, a bit of swearing : http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=56a_1407813773

    LR3 Ownership Update - Eight Weeks

    I'm thinking about making my 04 discovery more fit for outings than dumping any more $ into the lr3 for now. Lucky8 mentioned some interesting KAM lockers that use a solenoid rather than air.

    LR3 Ownership Update - Eight Weeks

    You sound like someone who would appreciate the new lockers from ARB for the front and rear in LR3. I wish we could selectively run the lr3 in rear 2wd for general travel fuel economy. Regarding snow and any forest road with some side slope, can't you just choose a terrain setting and DSC...

    LR3 Ownership Update - Eight Weeks

    Actually, it's becoming clear you can't back up the stuff you are saying. You never answered the GC articulation question. You cannot prove there are lr3's running 37's. Now you just talk about trimming as if there is any body work to be trimmed on an lr3 which would even then allow 37's...

    LR3 Ownership Update - Eight Weeks

    Because it's the only LR3 on 37" tires ;)

    Bear Grylls is new LR global ambassador

    To avoid a big disappointment, you should get un-"excited" as I think it's just an announcement of the useless discovery "sport" /toy car with less capability, less cargo space, less adaptable.

    LR3 Ownership Update - Eight Weeks

    The Grand Cherokee is most definitely NOT "equally" capable. Why do you keep trying to say this? Even if all you did was compare them on paper it doesn't hold up. The GC is a car, just like the VW Touareg and Porsche Cayenne. The GC does not have the same amount of articulation so is...

    Petition to change 25yr import rules

    less than 10 days to get another 44,000. Seems unlikely without a surge in other forums for all types of vehicles.

    LR3 Ownership Update - Eight Weeks

    "Reliability"? Of the LR? In almost 100,000 miles, mine has never even had me worried it would not get me to my destination. To me, "reliability" is just that, and only that. It is reliable because I've never been let down. In fact, I have 3 of my 4 primary owned land rovers with a...

    LR3 Ownership Update - Eight Weeks

    Well, I think YOU might be missing the POINT. ;) (smiley for "don't get wound up, I'm just poking fun") The Lr3 does not have the type of IFS that WOULD be superior to a solid axle in difficult off road situations. The Baja trucks do but the LR3 does not. Even the construction of what we...

    LR3 Ownership Update - Eight Weeks

    The way I see it, you're just trying to help anyone who might be considering the vehicle, to understand they should be wary and make an informed decision, at least to get a solid extended warranty right from the start.

    Agreed, but I think MaxTrac are inferior amongst the options available so there you go ;)

    LR3 Ownership Update - Eight Weeks

    Very bumpy circles though ;) I agree with you 100%, except that the LR3 does a great job of providing just enough "comforts" with much better "capabilities" than any of the soft-roader car-based suv's like Touareg, Cayenne, Grand Cherokee. To me those suv's are just one step up from a...

    LR3 Ownership Update - Eight Weeks

    Ok, so what is the maximum wheel travel front and rear? LR3/4 is 13" rear, and I think 9" front. Based on the video I just watched, I'm not believing the GC is 100% same spec. It looks about like the 2008 VW Touareg tdi I had. Very good but still "car-like" range of wheel travel such that...
