    Tailgate cable seems jammed

    Good point, never realized the cable everyone was talking about was for the actual locking mechanism. I'll probably go ahead and order the part on blind faith as there doesn't seem to be too much more than could cause this particular problem. Need to order a Genuine Oil Filter anyways.

    Tailgate cable seems jammed

    Well that's encouraging. Guessing I just need to disassemble that area and see what's going on.

    Tailgate cable seems jammed

    I know there's a few threads around about this but I can't seem to determine if its exactly the same thing I'm experiencing. It would appear that the cable on the left side of the tailgate on our LR3 is jammed. Initially it just seemed to have problems reeling back in however the tailgate...

    Sears Diehard Platinum P-1 fit in LR3?

    I had thought about that one. In the end I really like the Platinums. I have two Odyssey's in my DII and love them. I should be able to make the P-1 fit but wanted to make sure there wasn't another Platinum option that worked better.

    Sears Diehard Platinum P-1 fit in LR3?

    I know many of you have installed this battery or at least a Sears Platinum in your LR3. I went to test fit it today and I'm going to have to modify a few things. 1) Looks like the factory tie down won't work. I'll have to get a regular ol' battery tie down with some longer bolts. 2)...

    Why not many LR3 in the marked

    This is exactly why I got mine as well. I tried to take an honest look at all the LR3 competitors out there before we bought ours. We are longtime Land Rover owners so we know them well. In the end I loved the Touraeg TDI, but really not so much the Toureag part but the TDI as they took all...

    How many years did you get out of your OEM battery?

    Is the Group 34 the best Sear Platinum size for the LR3? It looks like it should fit just want to make sure first.

    Aftermarket Hitch Options

    Turns out they already make bags for bikes, they are mainly marketed for RV's as the one apparent side effect I hadn't considered keeps them from working on most cars. They can block taillights. I think it'd be fine on the LR3 since their so high up, not sure on the DII with some high and some...

    Yet Another Tow Hitch Problem

    I don't think it's DOT approved either. Not that its going to matter to some folks. I plan on pulling an RV with mine so it definitely matters to me given the consequences of having an accident towing the RV with a non-DOT approved hitch.

    LR3 Skid Plates Design/Sizes etc.

    This is misleading. The only thing that would need to change if using AL instead of steel would be just increase the thickness. It would still be at least 1/2 the weight if not even less. The reality is that its ok for skidplates to bend, they are meant as protection. If a person is going...

    LR3 Skid Plates Design/Sizes etc.

    I've built a few skidplates in my days and unfortunately it's not that simple to manufacture an attractive well thought out skidplate. I went through about 4 or 5 iterations before I finally got all the measurements right. Even then I would have to tweak things over the years to bring...

    Moab Trail Advice

    I'm going to go with No! You'd be crazy to take any stock vehicle up that obstacle. I had a highly modified RRC with 37"s and full custom suspension that I built and it had a hard time getting up that without laying the body against some rock. You might be able to make it in a lightly...

    FS: LR3 Wheels & Off road accessories

    If only you'd had these wheels up for sale a week ago, I'd picked them up on my way home from Seattle... I just got the 19's powder coated and new tires mounted up.
