    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...

    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...

    Hermit Pass Pics

    A friend of mine and I did Hermit Pass in the Sangre de Christo mountains this weekend. It's actually a pretty easy trail, just very bumpy, though without any technical challenges. Any stock SUV, perhaps even without a low range, could do it. Full gallery...

    Pics from Swan River and Georgia Pass

    Yesterday a friend and I took our respective Rubi and LR3 up to the Swan River and Georgia Pass trails near Breckinridge, CO. No major drama or excitement, just a nice day out on the trails. Georgia is pretty easy, Swan is a bit tougher. The main challenges on Swan are steepness with loose rock...

    Incessant Brake wear warning chime

    I have a 2005 LR3 that I bought a few months ago with 33k miles on it - now has about 35k or so. Once last week I heard a chime and the little info display said "check brake pads". The orange "brake" warning light didn't come on. The warning went away, chime didn't repeat. I checked all the...

    Paint protection while offroading

    My rover is beyond dirty at this point - I've done some pretty narrow trails through trees the past couple of weekends and have started to scratch up the side panels pretty good. Last weekend it wasn't too bad, and a friend of mine and I were joking that I should just have clearbra plastered all...

    New LR3 owner

    Hi all, just bought a CPO 2005 LR3 SE5. Pretty basic, just has the locking diff and cold weather packages. Great site, I found answers to all my questions prior to purchase in forum searches. There's a rock ledge that I could never get over in my Cherokee, I'm headed up there first thing this...
