Making the LR3 trail ready

[Houm_WA]

This has been discussed before, in different flavors. What are the mods that people are doing to their LR3s? Keeping it (mostly) stock but yet enhancing the trail-worthiness of the rig?

Let's maybe do a little show 'n tell. I'll even go first...

1. Rasta Skid plates for the engine and T-case.
2. Re-enforced LR sidesteps.
3. 32" Goodyear MT/Rs.
4. Sensor arm modification.

Here is a pic:

Is this topic really THAT boring? I thought it would be fun to share pictures and descriptions of rigs so I could see what other owners are doing....NOBODY wants to play?

Did you only adjust your sensor arms, or did you do a lift? By lift I think I only mean suspension spacers......

 

[Houm_WA]

No spacers, just the sensor arm mod that most others are doing. 10 mm just like PicnSav. As you probably know that tricks the computer into allowing user-selectable Extended Mode. So it's not technically a lift, but it effectively is! It allows me to run 32" tires and gives me over 12" of ground clearance.

By the way, that's my wife in that second video of the LR3 you have posted on your site!

Hey Pic'nSav, where was that pic taken?
