$1k for Duratracks NOW vs $3k for ko2s on steel LATER
Again, using the Jeep example, most run C or D rated because they don’t want to lose the sidewall flexibility that the E rated tire would. It’s probably a moot point on a 19” wheel, I’ve never looked at them. The Falken Wildpeak A/T3 is available in 2 load ratings in the size I considered before... -

$1k for Duratracks NOW vs $3k for ko2s on steel LATER
I don’t recommend Duratracs as they have weak sidewalls, even with an E load rating. Ive owned them personally and had them on work trucks. Many people will tell you you NEED E rated tires due to the weight of the truck and the assumed sidewall strength, I disagree. Guys in the JKU world don’t... -

Are Coils the answer?
Nope, coils are not the answer. Make sure you’ve got a full size spare and get out there! -

How does one upgrade on the stock air suspension?
Yeah, I forget which vehicle forum I’m entering when I click the email link. I’ve got a 3, the AMK programming shuts off the compressor at 255psi. Even at 175psi it’ll have a hard time lifting the truck. It doesn’t matter that the 4 front struts run at 145psi, it needs more than that to raise... -

How does one upgrade on the stock air suspension?
What do you use to inflate the system with the GOE kit? It takes somewhere north of 175psi to raise the vehicle, correct? You can run 265/70/18 without becoming immobile during EAS failure. It doesn’t seem like a big difference, but it equates to around an inch taller tire. I’ve got the Cooper... -

Any other car brand wheels fit the LR4 ?
All wheels have an internal bead, though LR rims are more extreme than most. For winter wheels I wouldn’t worry about OEM Bimmer wheels as they’re good quality. Aftermarket or wheeling hard is a different story. Don’t let jwest know, he’ll have a fit and tell us all how @&$&€% stupid we are... -

New to me 06 Air Suspension Problems
To me it sounds like you’ve got a couple issues. An air leak that drops you to the bumps stops overnight, and an electrical issue that drops it while driving. I’m surprised no one has mentioned it, get a GapTool or something as capable to read the codes when it drops to the bump stops. You... -

2005 LR3
I’ve got the Bluetooth version of the Gaptool. I like it and recommend it. It won’t pinpoint air leaks, but there are other threads on here that can help with that. Obviously you’ll never know why that compressor shuts down for sure until you pull the codes, but if he had a previous leak and... -

Does this apply to phone calls, or just Bluetooth audio? -

Lr3 or Disco I?
I was actually contemplating this 2 years ago. I know you were asking about maintenance specifically, but I’m wondering what you want to use it for. Is it going to be a daily driver? Are you looking for off-road performance? I ultimately bought the LR3 because it is my daily driver. Now that... -

Looking for advice on taking a stock LR3 up a notch to be a bit more capable
Alrighty then. I just hate to see people hung up on statements like “sliders are a must” to even get out on their first trip. -

Looking for advice on taking a stock LR3 up a notch to be a bit more capable
Good tires and get out there! The only thing I really recommend to start exploring is a full size spare. I daily drive mine with 265/70/18 Cooper S/T Maxx. They rub if it drops to the bump stops, but it’ll still drive. I put a hidden winch mount and a 10k winch on mine since I’m usually out... -

LR4 Drawer system finished
Where did you get the slides? I’d like to do something similar, but with stacked drawers so I can still use a back seat. -

Jack broken
I was speaking of MY jack and that I have no idea what type of use it had seen prior to me owning the vehicle. I’m not interested in going after anyone for the jack failing. -

Jack broken
It’s a 12 year old jack that’s been used who knows how many times, in who knows what way. Jacking up a vehicle is risky business no matter what you use and I treat it as such. Unless you’re off-roading one rarely needs a jack. If you’re off road you shouldn’t use the factory jack. I’m not one... -

Jack broken
The threads stripped on my factory LR3 jack and fell with a similar crash. I ended up buying a factory Ford super-duty bottle jack similar to the one that came in my old D2. It’s a 4 ton with a 2 stage ram, but it still had a little trouble getting high enough for my 265/70/18’s. To remedy that... -

275/65R18 GY MT-R or Discoverer STT mud
I’ve got an LR3 that I’ve run 275/65/18 Duratracs and currently have 265/70/18 Cooper S/T Maxx on the stock LR3 wheel you said you were considering. I had a tiny bit of rubbing with the 275’s in reverse at full lock passenger. I dialed in a little extra height via GapTool to help remedy the rub... -

I'm sorry I missed that detail in your condescending rants... I went back, it's there. I missed it. I'm sorry. It was my mistake. Look, it's a stupid argument and I don't know why I've participated so long. You win. My point has been that the LR3 is unique to "industry standards", in that it... -

Not confusing at all when you give that vital detail. The lift argument is ALL semantics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I think you can stop calling people names. I'm not trying to mislead people, I am questioning your answers. I'm not TRYING to tick you off in the process, though it appears I am failing in that. I get the feeling you are the type of person who doesn't like to admit they're wrong, I am as well... -

Body lift. No one was talking about 34” tires, spacers and body lift. But when I suggested a body lift might be superior to your spacers all of the sudden I owned the body lift idea. You called the spacers the only true lift for the LR3, won’t it sit at the same height with them installed unless... -

Do you even remember what you say in your original posts. You throw out issues that no one else is talking about, and then argue against it like it was my idea... Do you enjoy goading people, or does it come unintentionally? It’s 2am I have snow to plow. Hopefully it’s the 8” forecast and not... -

Why would the compressor quit because you’re running a higher ride height? The system doesn’t run higher pressure because it’s sitting higher. In the case of the LR3, doesn’t a body lift give you the exact same benefit of clearance at zero air as the spacers without the worry of cv damage? I... -

I saw that truck and attempt to find the owner on Instagram, I think it was bear republic expeditions. Bummer the mystery was never solved. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
