Snow chains
Rud Chains FWIW... I contacted RUD USA (...rudchain.com) back in 2006 when I first got the LR3 (2006, SE, with 18" wheels). Had a fair amount of discussion back and forth regarding the correct chain for the LR3 with 18"s (dealt with Sandra but don't know if she's still there). Per the... -

Ford ESP Warranty now available for all LR3s still under warranty
Sorry 'bout that...I bought last week (12/26)...I also went with the $100 deductable. There was a $200 ded available but it only saved $160 so after two visits you'd be negative... D. -

Ford ESP Warranty now available for all LR3s still under warranty
Another ESP buyer... FWIW...I have an '06 that is at about 34.5k. Jack at Ford ESP (actually a dealership in CT) was very very helpful. I endedup with the Premium package as it is basically "exclusionary" in that it covers all but specific parts excluded. For the LR3, this was the only... -

Second set of Tires, Help
Snow/offroad Tires Interesting on the ratings... I have the Pirelli Ice & Snow for winter (and they are really awesome)... I've destroyed my POS GY'rs and although the local dealer reco's the AT2's, I'm going to put the Pirelli ATR's on in the spring (when the winter tires come off). I... -

Snow chains
Snow chains in CA For many years, my wife and I would spend a week in Yosemite during New Years. At the time I had a Chevy Avalanche which actually did fairly well in the snow (and no, it's not close to what I can do with the LR3). One time, we pulled into the south end of the park and the... -

Another towing and hitch question?
Tongue weight Just an FYI that a search (probably google) is in order. When I was looking into this about a year ago (I have an '06 LR3 SE), I found a story of a woman who was towing a trailer with about 700 lbs tongue weight...As she was pulling through town (fortunately not at speed) and... -

Winter Tires
Scorpion Ice and Snow FWIW...I have an '06 LR3 SE, live in CO (south of Denver but 1500 feet higher), and put on the Scorpion Ice and Snow last year... Had numerous snowy/icy drives, a couple of 10+ inch storms, and general nastiness... It goes without saying but the Scorpions just... -

Hitch Purchase
RichPike is definately a lucky guy! On that topic though, I did a self-install of the wiring harness. It was particularly difficult although I took my time (and it was probably a 30 or so minute effort). I put mine in so that I could pull a 8' trailer full of household stuff from CA to CO... -

My Wimpy 18" Spare
For what it's worth...I just bought 4 10 spoke rims for $500 and shipping from WA to CO was about $90...I see singles for about $150 fairly often on Ebay... D. -

Hitch Purchase
I bought a hitch, ball, and trailer harness back in May. Did a lot of shopping around and ended up at utahparts.com which delivered fast and had good prices. FWIW... D. -

New LR owner - thoughts on LR3
Hi - We just did the LR Experience at Quail Lodge in CA. All the LR's were shod with the stock GY'rs. This was an absolutely awesome experience. I have pics (both my own and from the CD they give you) that I'll get posted and linked here as soon as I can. (There's nothing like seeing 2... -

lr3 been sitting for a year
I would have them check all the things that might have moisture... Change oil and filter. Use a fuel additive that eliminates moisture. Ask them to consider giving you a "good faith" fuel injector cleaning. Watch for tire flat spots (although they will be real obvious when you're driving)... -

New LR3 owner in CO
Just wanted to jump in here... I also am a new LR3 owner (2006 service loaner w/5k miles) and am in the process of moving from CA to the Boulder area...I've been through this board from end to end and keep hoping to see a viable snow tire option since I'm guessing I'll need all I can get for... -

Need fast help pls - Snow Chanis or Cables
DD - I just ordered a set from Rud for my 18's...They were #0141. For some reason I seem to recall that the 19's used 0157? The Rud folks seemed to know exactly what I needed. We'll see how tight the fit is when they get here next week...I'm out of town until the 26th but would be willing to... -

Need fast help pls - Snow Chanis or Cables
David - I sent you a message. I'd go in with you...BTW...I used these style of chain on my Avalanche (traded in yesterday on an LR3 SE) and as mentioned, had to chain up going into Yosemite 3 years ago (17" in 2 days). Rangers confirmed my suspicion...They do it to discourage people and get...
