I'M FED UP WITH THE DOORS LOCKING AT 8 MPH!
Sure, it seems like a great idea to someone in design, but when delivering equipment on the fireline, unless I turn off the engine, everything locks and I have to push the "unlock" button to get to the back doors and boot. Anyone know how to stop this? HELP!- Rover Runner

Spare Tire Access with Drawer Kits
I BUILT MY OWN SLIDING DRAWER AND SPARE TIRE RACK I got so tired of trying to find A SLIDING DRAWER that I decided to build my own. Using garage door tracks for the rails, I built a simple platform and made it accessible from the passenger side to the rear. It travels 3' to the rear. It cost...- Rover Runner

Gas Tank not filling up
When that happens, I just pull the nozzle back and hold the "gas shield" on the nozzle back a 1/4" to let the pressure out and continue filling the tank. Works for me- Rover Runner

There she blows, (maybe coolant crossover)
My 2005 LR3 developed a leak in the coolant recovery jug and the damn sensor on the bottom didn't register the lack of fluid. (No fluid - no sensor alert). I blew the head gasket and $4,000 later, the mechanic said "Oh, BTW, you need another recovery container." $15 at the local junk yard...- Rover Runner

Looking for a 19" off road tire.
I've used the Atturo 19" tires for a couple of years. I bought them at about $79 from Prime Tire on the Internet with free shipping. As an emergency vehicle, I need reliable tires, and these are it. Out of 9 tires purchased, I had one that had tread separation and they replaced it at no cost...- Rover Runner

NEVER EVER USE <MAXSPEEDINGRODS> I was desperate and after checking prices and reviews, I went with them because of their factory warranty. They arrived and I had them professionally installed.

Using the 12v trunk plug without cutting out after 3 minutes?
I got so tired of this problem and the fact that the wire (not cable) that goes to the trunk is too small a gauge to run anything worthwhile. I just drilled a hole for another 12V socket and ran a #12 wire all the way to the engine compartment and plugged it in to the "constant on" fuse...- Rover Runner

Buying a used high mileage 2010 LR4
I get questioned all the time "Isn't that an "expensive" vehicle to take off-roading? And I tell them. Nah, it was $75K when I bought it and I average about $2,000 a year in repairs. Don't even think of gas prices. It only has 220K miles on it, but it is one incredible piece of junk - but...- Rover Runner
