    The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

    Pretty nice. When I was 19, I drove a baby blue ford tempo. Chick magnet,

    Recovery: D-Rings or soft shackles?

    I'm starting to put together some recovery items. Went to a local place today looking for some rings, but all they had was 4.75ton rings. I think I read a post by nwoods saying you need a 16,000lb ring. But in a 3/4 inch, i couldn't find one. In my limited research, I came across the soft...

    Tire size for Cooper AT3's?

    Ok, so getting tires this week. Decided on the BFGs though they are bit more costly. Still cannot decide which size. 285/60 or 265/60. Is it correct that in the event of a complete EAS failure I could still drive the truck with either one of,these sizes? The spare is the other issue...

    Tire size for Cooper AT3's?

    Touché' What advantage do I get from a tire one inch taller than my other choices? I'd like a tire that's safe on the road as this is my daily driver with quite,a few long distance drives.,. I want a tire that's good off road but I do minimal rock crawling. The cooper,appeals to me.,

    Tire size for Cooper AT3's?

    So still looking at tires. I've been around and round on what I'm going to get. Looking at BFGs and general Grabbers, Nittos, etc. Now looking seriously at the Cooper AT3 after reading about them. They don't have as an aggressive look, but seem to perform better than more aggressive looking...

    So General Grabbers, anything I'm missing?

    Thanks, but my ratio is about the opposite of yours. Still have not done anything yet. My schedule hasn't given me the opportunity to. I just don't know if I want to pay a premium for BFGs over the grabbers.

    Lifted LR3 ride/handling questions

    Is it even appropriate for the person selling lift rods to respond to this kind of question? The answers seem like nothing more than another sales pitch. Anyway, I'm interested in the Johnson Rod product, but the over hype pitches are kind of a turn off. Btw, is there a YouTube video or these...

    Showoff Your LR4

    That's a sick rig...you've got more in mods than I paid for my LR3. Other than tires, I don't know what I want to do next.

    So General Grabbers, anything I'm missing?

    Thanks, where do you store that? Would the 90p work? Seems to be quite a bit smaller.

    2006 LR3 aftermarket radio

    Not trying to thread jack, but is there any way to play music from a phone via Bluetooth? I've got a 2008, and this is the one thing I miss most. Will any after market systems do that? I guess I don't really understand how Bluetooth works.

    Silly windshield wiper question.

    Last time we had some snow, I tried to lift the wipers off the wind screen to keep from icing up. I quickly found out that they wouldn't lift that far and lock into place. Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? Every other vehicle I've owned, I could just pull them back and they would...

    So General Grabbers, anything I'm missing?

    Yep. Was aware of that. Ill take portable compressor suggestions while I'm at it...

    So General Grabbers, anything I'm missing?

    I'm about to pull the trigger on some tires after googling the subject exhaustively. I think I'm going to get the general grabbers, 285/60/r18, including a spare. Is there anything I'm missing? I do not have any lift, but from what I've read these should fit with minimal rubbing. Just...
