New to me LR3

[Dendy Jarrett]

Nice LR3. It will serve you well.

I just downsized my wheels from 285/75 18s to 265/65 18s. Just a bit smaller, but much less rubbing. I am running Sasquatch rods which are adjustable and currently not as tall as the Johnson rods as I don't want to stress the CV joints for everyday driving.

I was also in the same boat as you and also a bimmer guy. Used to race my 325is on the track (Infineon and Thunderhill) for fun and then took an '85 318i and dropped a '98 M3 drivetrain in it, 318ti rear end with E36 front spindles/brakes, OBDI conversion, etc, etc...All with the intent as a fun track car. Then work and family life took over...

3 kids later... I have 2 rovers but now I can bring the family along and we have a great time on the trail. My daughter has celebrated more birthdays camping in Death Valley than at home. She is now 7 and loves the outdoors. My younger boys (5 and 4) are also enjoying playing in the dirt and camping.

I joined the NorCal Rover club a few years ago and it is a great group of people, family oriented and also afflicted with the same LR sickness.

Enjoy your truck!

Did you mis-type that previous 35" tire size?

Not much new to update on the LR. I did pick up a set of 18" wheels off CL. I figured I would just send them out to get powder coated while they where off. It came out really nice. Looking forward to putting some new rubber on.

I'm up in Oceanside. Beautiful truck you got there, it looks exactly like one I see driving around here occasionally.

Where did you go for the powder coat? I'd love to get my wheels powder coated soon.

I live down in University City so not me. I go to a place called RW Little. My buddy in Seal Beach just picked up a set and is selling me one so I am going to get one more wheel done in the next few weeks.

I have used these guys for years and years for odd ball stuff.

The kids being out of school, decided to try a couple trails. I didn't do anything to crazy since I didn't have any support besides a compressor. Had fun and Rover makes things seem easy. Kids had a blast and keep asking when we are going again.
