LR3 Off The Road

[discomike]

Yesterday I had a chance to wheel with over 40 other Rovers including Series 1's through some 110's and a 130. We also had an LR3 with us complements of Rover and we played all day in the mud, rock gardens, twister and on the trail with it.
Yes, it is not what we are used to, but it stayed with us all day and never got hung up. It may not be what I would buy if I were going to build another truck, and no it has way to many bells and whistle, although they are pretty neat, but it held is own yesterday and drive nice.

Certainly you have pics to show us? I had seen three today at the dealer in Rocklin. Very nice looking indeed but I'd have to have a lot of dinero for that knd of ride.

Monty,
I had so much fun playing that I only took one picture of the LR3 when he first got there, the rest of the day we just got dirty.

That's cool Mike. I was actually interested in any action shots of Rovers in general. Glad you had a good time.

Monty,
Where are you located?

Profile says Woodland.

So how was the articulation of the front end of that LR3, Mike? I'm interested if the IFS was as capable of being twisted as the solid fronts of our beloved LR1's and LR2's (I mean, D1 and D2 )

Where is Woodland though??
The articulation was not bad. This was a fctory truck and I don't think they wanted to bring it home with too much wheel and body damage.
The truck is strong, can you imagine 300 HP and a six speed.

Oh...I should've assumed you'd look at his profile

You guys are going to have to stop posting "positive" comments about the LR3 - I am going to have to go out and buy one just to try it out.

It is sad that I have to always have "the next best thing" - I am the type of personality that is considered an early adopter. I try out anything that is new and/or cool - I waste way too much $$$ on things that I shouldn't.

Anyone have anything else that they want to sell to me? If it is new or cool let me get out my checkbook.....
