    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    Very exciting indeed! Thanks for sharing. I'm too far into this LR3 to consider the LR4 (recently increased the tire clearance at all 4 tight spots) but am hopeful for a diesel/hybrid model to come here someday.

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    The computer would likely not be too happy with you using it's air supply but most people who are going to install the ARB lockers will also be happy to have a separate on demand air supply for tires. I love having my air compressor and tank supply for going offroad but also for seating a...

    LR4 Reliability

    That may only be the all around average. The highway rating is 8L/100km which = 29.4 mpg US. I know that on trips I'd see 30 mpg for sure with the 5-10% taller tires and all that torque.

    Maybe I'll do a new thread sometime. I added the items here because it's a good thread for some of the cooler things that can be done. I also realize it became a long post so no more on mine here ;) Any questions should be directed to PM please

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    This week we modified the two tire clearance warts on the lr3 chassis. Removed/changed the nub behind each front wheel. Moved the hvac lines at the front of rear wheels as well as changed the body flange encroaching on the rear wheel clearance next to the hvac lines. For those of you who are...

    LR3 Towing Capacity?

    You should post some photos of yours seen from down low and a detail of the frame mounting points. I'd like to see that anyway.

    LR3 Towing Capacity?

    I bought the newer short version over a year ago. I don't think you could buy the old one from a LR dealer if you tried. All they would be stocking/ordering is the new stuff. The obvious plus with the factory version is the departure angle/bumper overhang when not installed.

    Best indy Rover shops in the US ?

    FLYING CIRCUS ENGLISH CARS, LTD Durham, NC. Also mentioned on earlier page by someone else but I have been working with them since 1999 and would trust them with every aspect of my Land Rovers. I've had them work on my 1996 Disco from 1999-2008 over 200,000 miles, my 2004 Disco from...

    My Conqueror and Rig!

    Using the PureGas APP I found a station about 1/2 way between Nashville and the northern border on 25 that has Efree 93.

    My Conqueror and Rig!

    Not just due to tank. 48 or so gallons is what it is. If you run at 13mpg, you would only get just over 600 miles until empty. The racks or stuff on them like awnings, RTT, etc, make a huge difference at highway speeds. I also only use ethanol FREE gas which yields no less than +10% mpg.

    My Conqueror and Rig!

    thanks. removed for big trip = 18 mpg over last 2200 miles. I've only stopped for fuel 3 x since Seattle and have enough to make NC easily.

    diff lock ?

    Also, in case you aren't trying this, moving slightly can help, like 2-3 mph coasting. I'm glad you posted this, mine has been engaged in a while and it is good to move through those every now and then.

    diff lock ?

    not exactly. wrong sequence. not "forward, then left" from high unlocked. But rather left, then forward or aft for locked or unlocked. I haven't looked at mine in a while but I'm pretty sure it's an "H" pattern rather than a square. but hell, now maybe it's a square. gentle finesse over...

    O'erlanderwagen build

    Driving the Audi? Cool! I thought a couple sections were more true 4x4 though? What tires will you be using and I hope you will have not only a full size spare but also a way to deal with a damaged tire. Some sections would have you walking quite a while to get out. A couple mtn bikes might...
