Correct Jwest, green with the beige interior. It just says "Land Rover" to me, always has. Dont know if I could ever get one in a different color and feel right about it. Haha

Found an 07 LR3 in the Color I wanted with 82k on the clock, going to be going to pick it up later this month. Think I did pretty good, and this was the best choice for what my uses are going to be. Now to begin the build planning.... muahaha

Hahaha touche my friend, I was on OME heavies with 35s though, and that old motor trying to pull that through the hills loaded down + bumper, winch, gear, etc was not exactlyrelaxing... to say the least! Really leaning more towards finding an LR3 with 70-80k on it under $15,000 and just doing...

Yeah, I figured as much which is why im primarily looking for an 06+... might even jump on an LR4 at the right price

See, this does worry me a bit. Not necessarily that I am going to be wheeling it hard all the time, but when I am out on the trails or even out camping in the sticks for a weekend... I dont like having to worry about stuff like that. The Cruiser got me in, and out of literally any place I...

Bama, thanks for the reply bud. If you dont mind me asking what did you pay / what did you find to be a good price on one? Also have you heard much about any / what kind of issues pop up as you roll over 100k?

Nice find Apaden, going to give him a call tomorrow, prob a long shot but damn that could be a steal.

As far as the LR4 is concerned, any years better than others? Major known problems to look for? What mileage range should I be comfortable with on a well maintained used one? Im looking at a few in the 65-80k mile range

Great info Jwest, im coming from a lifted 80 Series Cruiser, so just trying to maintain a good stance and practical capabilities. Im not a big lift, big tire guy, really prefer the low/level/practical look. I was just reasearching the OME lift for the Land Rover LR3, was not sure how it...

Yikes... going from 35 inch BFG MTs to 31.5s Thats rough, will 33s fit on an LR3 with an OME heavy lift?

99Discovery, great reply, I will continue to look into the RRs and if I find a steal of a deal that might be the direction I go. Soubds like with some wheels and 33 inch ATs it might serve just about any purpose, especially the occasional long trip.

Primary reason for the Touareg comment was I have always had excellent luck with VW diesels. Basically all other things aside, if there was heavy aftermarket support for them it could make one fine do it all vehicle, in my world. As far as true practiciality for someone living out of it for...

No no, please dont! You are doing just fine here helping the newbies like myself that dont know up from down and right from left! No doubt about it, the RR looks better in factory form, and the interiors are incredible. But again, I am coming from a 96 FJ that had the creature comforts of a...

As the title states, wanting to buy a low mileage LR3 primarily, would possibly entertain new model RRs if it really caught my eye. Looking to pick something up after I return home on 15 Aug, travel or distance is not an issue for the right setup. Price needs to be reasonable, not looking to...

Ray, and everyone else, excellent responses... I guess thats what sets this place apart from other forums. The root of the question, going back to my intended use is this: Going to get driven 3x a week, out to dinner, run an errand... whatever. Winter (moving to Chi in a month) needs to be...

Great response, much appreciated. As far as aftermarket support, is there much out there in the way of goodies for say an 08-10 RR? Lift, bumpers, racks, etc? Also, would say, an OME lift for a LR work on a RR, or are the suspension setups and geometry entirely different?

Sorry, I guess I should clarify. You see lots of Land Rovers on overland expeditions, modded, etc. Not so much with RRs. Do they have the same capabilities off road, with the exception of cosmetic differences? What is the primary reason they dont get wheeled as much? I think a lifted RR with...

As per my other thread, I am currently in the market for an SUV, primarily a Land Rover LR3. However, I am seeing a LOT more Range Rovers for sale, at least here locally. Most 2006-2010... my question is basically what are the differences in capabilities, and why do you not see more new Range...

Great info DVD, glad to hear someone with a higher mileage pre owned Rover is sailing right along. I had some major issues (nearly 4k worth) less than a week after I purchased my last truck. No way the prior owner could have known, but it still has made me a bit gun shy.

Thats what I thought Ray, going to give the guy a call tomorrow. Long shot considering I am in Denver at the moment for work, but never know.
