    Jeep/Toyota guy needing your knowledge

    The 3.5 V8 sounds great, but it's not very powerful. I had one in my '85 Ninety SW. Ended up swapping it for a 3.9 Efi. Much better, and widely available. Unless you get bery lucky, your '83 will need a bulkhead & chassis replacement. That will likely cost you north of $15k. Good luck!

    Hello from Oregon

    All: I'm on my 6th LR. Started off with a '96 Discovery 1 SD stick shift, then went to an '00 Range Rover 4.6 HSE. Dismal failure- so I bought a Toyota FJ Cruiser. Didn't work for me, so I bought an '04 Discovery 2 SE7. Then came an '07 Range Rover HSE, followed by an '08 LR3 SE. Now driving...

    Who makes the best LR3 aftermarket grilles?

    Supercharged style, in Zermatt Silver. Of the two big clips on the side of the grille, one kinda held, the other kept popping off. The top clips were okay, but not as secure as the OEM grill. My Father in law bought a chrome one on Amazon and had the same problems. Niether LR3's ('06...

    Who makes the best LR3 aftermarket grilles?

    Disagree. I bought one for my '08 and the fit was terrible- I had to put a screw in the middle to hold it in place!

    HELP Stranded in Bozeman, Montana 10/30

    Apparently, LR used a coating on the inside of the front & rear diff that eventually delaminated & worked its way into the bearings. Hence the failure. A new diff & bearings is the fix. Later LR3's had the issue addressed- mine had a new rear diff when I got it. Glad it worked out. How are you...

    Will 19" rims from an '03 MkIII Range Rover fit an '08 LR3?

    All: Wheels came from a 2003 Range Rover MkIII/L322/Full size. I have seen ads where it says they will fit but need to know for sure before I commit to a 5 hour drive to get them! If anyone can confirm, I'd really appreciate it. . Paul.

    Hello from Oregon

    All: I'm here because I am considering trading my '07 Toyota FJ Cruiser for an '04 LR discovery. Had LRs in the past (see sig) and miss them! Cheers, Paul.
