    I ll chime in, I have these Cooper Zeons on my Chevy Silverado 4x4 in 33's with 20's. They are awesome tires, they work great off road and have very good on road manners and look awesome. I will definately consider these for our lr3 when our toyo proxes wear out. These coopers should be...

    06 LR3 V8 rough idle?

    no rats in my new garage!! Just replaced the air filter so that shouldnt be it. Guess i will take it somewhere and have them change the fuel filter. Fuel pump shouldnt be going out with only 51K on it should it?

    Bushing/ Tie Rod ?

    Thanks for all the replys. I was just thinking since i already am going to have it in the shop i might as well replace the lower control arms if that is going to be something that goes to **** within the next few 1000 miles. What is a reasonable price to have the tie rods changed out?

    Vibes: Tire Issues

    i would suggest you find some tires that come in LT vs pmetric. The tread on LT tires is deeper and usually the tires have more plys as well. I had the Hankook atm RF10s on a previous vehicle and never had a flat with them.

    Bushing/ Tie Rod ?

    Well it looks like its not my control arm bushings that are creating the knock, at least what the shop tells me. Its just the tie rods that shack when you grab them, would this cause the knock when driving and the vibration in the steering wheel. Lr3 has 48K miles 2006 LR3 HSE. Would...
