    LR3 cracked dashboard thread

    US model shipped to Europe. I mostly work on my Land Rover, 80s sports car and moto...not going to lie there. The only thing I have done on the LR3 was the brakes and some minor things. Over the years the control arms needed replaced and just recently the radiator developed a hairline crack...

    LR3 cracked dashboard thread

    Might help a little: https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/which-year-lr3.118032/ I am currently traveling but got an update to the thread. From all my experience it seems the 2007-9(Not sure of what other years have the 4.4...???) with the 4.4L is the better choice over the 05-06 to...

    Most reliable US spec Land Rover?

    From my travels, and different shops, I have always heard the 2008 LR3 4.4l is the most desirable. My wife has been driving ours for over 12 years and from the northeast, south Texas and the German autobahn it has been great. We just by luck found a 2008 HSE Lux back in the day and as stated...

    LR3 cracked dashboard thread

    This is what I am hoping. I looked up the poster's website - Dashskin (above), but it looks like they do not cover the passenger airbag area... The Coverlay does come with the passenger airbag area cover(s) (used to be two pieces for the airbag area...) still, correct? My wife's LR3 has...

    Garmin Tread Overland Edition - any users yet?

    Well almost a year to the date and I finally picked up the Tread XL (Overlander) so far absolutely love it. Was very hesitant on the 8" or 10" but went with the 10". Even in my 20 year old DII with a average size windscreen the 10"/XL is fine. Loads of folks went with the 8" stating the XL...

    Garmin Tread XL Screen Material?

    ...guess that is why I just wanted to verify. Hopefully someone can still chime in...pretty sure how I will be using it, if it is a decent glass material, I shouldn't need screen protection, but just wanted to verify people aren't having issues with the 8 and 10inch screens. I ordered the...

    Garmin Tread XL Screen Material?

    Maybe I am searching wrong, but I am about to purchase a Tread XL Overland Edition (not interested in a tablet) and can't figure out what the screen is made of. I think my watch is Gorilla Glass but looking at the specs for the GPS all I see is 'glass'. Being a GPS user for 20ish years I...

    Are older Land Rover Discoveries really that bad? How do they compare to contemporary Toyotas?

    After owning a 49 Series (I), a 68 Series II, an 87 RRC, an 88 RRC and at present an 04 DII (from new) and my wife's 08 DIII I still find it funny how I get questioned/lectured(?) on how unreliable Land Rovers are and almost always from a non-owner. AND...it's always when I am at a auto shop...

    Garmin Tread Overland Edition - any users yet?

    I am wondering also. I would guess people are going to state GAIA for exploring and Garmin for highway travel and simple needs. I like the Overland XL for my needs and have yet to get much info from the folks who have the XL. We have been moving across country so have yet to purchase my...

    Question on portable power station "physical" storage when not in use?

    That was the reason I went with the brand and model I went with. Hoping that holds true.

    Question on portable power station "physical" storage when not in use?

    Hopefully someone can answer your question. I am just getting into the camping/overlanding battery powered world.

    Question on portable power station "physical" storage when not in use?

    Yes, for my battery, fully charged and disconnect...seems from other forums, about every 6 months is a standard. Friend of mine (who owns a few and different brands) just hit me up about a fire that burned down a cabin/camping hut. Not sure of the specifics but it had to do with a 'portable...
