Tire fitment - 255/60R19 ok?
Getting ready to pull the trigger on the Toyo Open Country AT III in 255/60r19 for my '06 LR3 HSE. Does anyone know if that size will fit underneath the truck in the back on the spare rim (which is the same 19" rim as is on the rest of the truck)? -

Alternator going bad?
2006 LR3 with 117k. Starting getting the array of dash lights going crazy, which usually means battery. I didn't tie that to a strange "whine" noise, as I assumed I had some belts getting a little dry/loud. I put in a new battery (before reading threads :( ), as the existing battery was 2... -

Coolant Leak - Easy Fix - Check Yours!
I had a small leak, that was getting worse. Took off the engine cover off, and headed to this message board - found this thread, and this was my problem. The plastic tee basically crumbled into my hand when I went back into the garage to check the tee. When replacing, take special caution, as... -

seat belt tensioner - SRS airbag light
i still think it was some sort of a connector issue as well....as my wife and I have very different seating positions...but, after much investigation, all wires and connectors seemed fine. Finally replaced it, and haven't had a problem since (it was replaced about 9 months ago). -

NEW PRODUCT LR3/D3 Underbody Protection
Any underbody protection for the rear exhaust hang down area? That's the only place I really have troubles with. Anyone use anything back there? -

highway ride - help
I am in Salt Lake City, UT. I would think $150 for each unit is reasonable, given that they are $400+ new? -

highway ride - help
Finally. After 6 months or so of chasing this. I figured it out. I put 4 new Pirelli Scorpion ATRs on, and the ride changed DRAMATICALLY. It is now tight, with no bounce or "spongy-ness". MAJOR improvement. The tires that were replaced still had plenty of tread, but something must have... -

highway ride - help
Please help. I'm sick of throwing money at this thing. Here's where I am at. New front lower control arms. New sway bar bushings front and rear. All 4 corners have a new air bag/shock assembly. 4 wheel alignment done twice. According to 2 shops, all other ball joints, bushings seem OK... -

highway ride - help
Are sensors actively managing the airbag at high speeds, and making very quick adjustments to air pressure as the LR3 goes over a bump on the freeway at 80 mph? Is this true? If so, has anyone else had a "spungy" corner at highway speeds due to a height sensor going bad? -

sunroof rattling
Initially, I thought it was the connector to the headliner right above the drivers' right shoulder. I would push up just slightly, and the rattle would go away. Turns out that wasn't what was rattling. The screw he tightened is only accessible with the headliner down, and even then it's... -

sunroof rattling
Finally fixed my sunroof rattle. A guy at an Indy shop heard it, and said he'd go ahead and pull the headliner down and look around for me (he used to work at a dealership, so said he could do it pretty easily). He ended up finding a screw that had been stripped/not tightened (probably from... -

humming / fan noise by right rear wheel when car is off?
I've heard this noise as well. Not always, just randomly it seems. Good to know others hear it as well. :) -

Have you had to replace your shocks?
Thanks for the part number. It seems I can only find them on UK websites. Did you find them here in the states? I have to admit I am surprised that others have not replaced shocks. It's a very heavy vehicle, and it seems that at 75k+ miles, people would have to be replacing them. I could... -

Have you had to replace your shocks?
How many miles do you have? I can say that at 75k, the shocks are just not doing a good job at controlling rebound, etc. I'd like to know what other people who have 75k think.... There's no way I can make it to 100k. Around town, it feels fine. It's when you take it on the highway at... -
C
Have you had to replace your shocks?
Unless I am mistaken, there ARE shocks - in the middle of the airbag. Something has to control rebound, etc, on the airbag. All bushings have been replaced, everything is tight, sway bar bushings are the new part number (just replaced), alignment is spot on. The shocks are clearly going...
