    Grrr... shredded sidewall

    And once again a serious question has degenerated from what the OP was hoping to get. Simply saying "I run 26 psi and never flatted is proof that you wouldn't have" is just plain nuts. Hell by by that logic my rear that hit the same rock should have also flatted, since that was 4 PSI higher than...

    Grrr... shredded sidewall

    A couple questions to answer here - Tire pressure: I was running 38/42, as I do on the road. Perhaps I should have been running somewhere in the mid-30's, but I really doubt a few PSI would have made a difference. I know a lot of people like to run much lower pressure on everything, but I...

    Grrr... shredded sidewall

    Oh, I probably should have explained my tire wear situation, which is what has me contemplating new tires over just replacing the spare. My current two rears have about 20k miles on them and are pretty close to being replaced anyway. My fronts have maybe 10k on them and aren't quite as close...

    Grrr... shredded sidewall

    Here's a pic of the flat, FWIW

    Grrr... shredded sidewall

    Well ok, not shredded, but punctured in a few places. I was doing Top of the World near Moab this morning (alone, no spotter - I know, believe me I know - bad idea) and caught a protruding rock on my right front tire/wheel. Tire is punctured in two places on the sidewall, wheel lip has several...

    Headlight bulb replacement

    I like the silver stars too, after using them on several cars & motorcycles (though not yet the LR3). They're legal for those that care, brigher, and a decent white without being overly blue.

    Values UP

    When I was looking for a used LR3 HSE's were next to impossible to find. Depending on how long you want to hold out, you might want to think about whether a nicely-optioned SE would do it for you. I'm with you on the LR3 "vs" LR4 - the new engine would be nice, but that grill is fugly. I'd...

    Stuck spare tire winch

    The winch to rasie and lower my spare tire is stuck. I got about an inch down and then it wouldn't go any farther down, but won't go up either. No amount of pulling or pushing will make it budge now. I do have it without spare right now since I have slightly larger tires on, but was hoping to...

    Are you rolling Cooper Zeon LTZ's on your Rover?

    I've got 9k on mine and they have tons of tread left, haven't measured it but they look almost new. Far better than what I was led to expect by some of the threads I read when researching the LR3.

    Colorado LR3 (or other Rover) Owners

    21st isn't looking too bad for me. Work just put the kibosh for sure on me doing anything this weekend (including the camping I was hoping to do). The Solihull Society is based in Denver - they do the National Rally as well as a number of local events. I joined last year but haven't had a...

    Colorado LR3 (or other Rover) Owners

    Given how much snow is at the north end into summer, I'd guess it's not open yet. Anyone been up to Bunce in the past few days? Just curious if it's a complete mudpit up there. Not a big fan of mud. I'm tempted to pass on the run this Sunday and road trip south for the weekend.

    I'm guessing it's partly due to the improved traction abilities of the LR3 - it makes use of limited traction like no locked diff ever could. So plus to LR3 for that. The IS also can be a huge plus - crosslinking aside, if one wheel on an axle is compressed from a rock, the other wheel on the...

    coil sprung LR3 ?

    The air suspension is one of the main reasons I got the LR3. Fixed-height and coil-sprung, it would have had to compete with Wranglers, Cayennes, and Touaregs for my money and it may not have done quite as well without that key feature. Remember without the coil springs you don't get the...

    Off Road Fail

    Man, that sucks. If it's any consolation I don't think I've ever seen that happen before. Don't let it discourage you, now that you have some trail damage might as well really wheel that thing!

    Ok, figured out what I ran last summer with Flatirons - Johnny Park Rd, which is marked as open. For people who aren't familiar with any of these runs, here are some links from Traildamage: Johnny Park: http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=103 Ironclads...
