Well THAT didn't take long
Hang in there Mike. There WILL be a repair curve regardless of past use. It's just the way of the world with all these electronics. Be sure to have a solid extended warranty or you will pay the price down the road. Once you get past the small repairs, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Get...- blackforestham

Air Compressor R&R
J.D. - For a 2-fiddy deduct, I'd just let the Dealer or Indy trouble shoot. Most components are going to exceed that amount. without codes, it sounds like the compressor MAY be going out. Just too many variables at this point.- blackforestham

Alpaca...Get it or not?
I have the '06 SE w/ the Alpaca. No problem with this color or materials. A little McGuire's conditioner once in a while and my interior still looks brand new. My first LR3 had the black interior. Hated it. It was like living in a cave. I lost so many things with the black on black. The Alpaca...- blackforestham

Rear Mud Flaps
I always liked the look of the Dakar flaps. Nice and flexible and they do the job. You could probably fab some up with heavy duty rubber sheets and and a trick bracket of some sort.- blackforestham

What's the worst that can happen?
I'm extremely happy that this thread went in such a positive direction! Lots of great, experienced information was just dropped here. Thanks Nathan, Scott, Houm and everyone else who chimed in. Too bad we're all spread out across the map. It would be epic to all get together someday and do some...- blackforestham

Help! all SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED!!
Sorry to hear the news (absolutely no sarcasm intended - just to be clear...lol). The only other case that I have heard of was in the Middle East and static buildup/discharge was the blamed issue. I believe Mike is correct in saying that the Insurance company and LR both turned their backs on...- blackforestham

What's the worst that can happen?
Ok, I gave this statement a little time to gain some perspective on. I'll apologize up front Nathan because anything I type here will come off as pissy due to the fact of who I am and what I sell - :ahhhhh: What is your REAL issue here? Oversized tires? The air suspension system, in...- blackforestham

The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread
C'mon Houm! You know I'm just yankin' ya. I'm not used to seeing your rig with all four tires on the ground! Looks killer. Shut up :bootyshak- blackforestham

What's the worst that can happen?
Ewwwww. Any plus size tire will most likely rub during a complete suspension failure. I've had 285/65's and 275/65's on when the failures occurred. Both rubbed HARD inside the entire wheel well. The rod mod has no effect on the suspension dropping to the bumpstops. The air bags completely purge...- blackforestham

Battery Issues
I sure hope you're under an extended warranty. New batt may solve many issues. My experience with coil packs is this - when 1 goes out, the rest will soon follow. Don't know why but it just works that way. Plan to replace all coil packs asap - $$$$$$$- blackforestham

Rear Fog Light switch/light?
LMAO! I never knew about the rear fog light trick! I tapped into that circuit to power my Hella's out front. I guess people see me from the rear as well when I turn on the fronts!- blackforestham

K&N Air Filter
I've quietly sat on the sidelines with the K&N issue. Interesting. I use the K&N for street use where dust/dirt/micro-debris is less of an issue. I know how to re-oil properly. Have never had any issues with numerous vehicles. I ALWAYS switch back to a paper filter when I am going offroad or...- blackforestham

Gotta love Land Rover
Very cool Mike! I drive a LR3 and a friend of mine has the new LR4. What a difference!! They are more refined and much more comfortable. You did well in waiting for the proper Rova. Just do us all a favor and please, please, please don't throw on 22's and never take it off road. Quite a ride- blackforestham

LR4 to use Ford Eco Boost V6
Let's not kid ourselves. This is political mumbo jumbo. We will never see a diesel. We are a petroleum nation and that will not change - no matter how big a tantrum Al Gore throws. Tata will simply produce a POS for China and buy up Carbon Credits to offset their ailing mpg numbers. Ultimately...- blackforestham

snow vs. slush
Houm - I think the biggest difference you're seeing is temperature variance between the two situations. In ultra-dry powder, the tread is unable to compress or pack the snow down due to the lower temperature. That's why it's momentum that allows you to blast through the drifts. Packed snow is...- blackforestham

Need Advice LR service techs!
My experience with the classification of "frame damage" tells me it may be subjective. My service adviser considered my frame to be "damaged" due to rock scrapes and trail use. There is no STRUCTURAL damage that can be found via visual inspection. I personally don't consider this a damaged...- blackforestham

GY DuraTrac or Toyo Open Country A/T
Nathan - I've ran the AT's on my F250 and wasn't as impressed as I am w/ the DT's. The DT's seem to have a softer compound and are less prone to stiffen up due to temperature. Yes, I'm going back 15 or so years for the AT experience, but I don't think the AT formula has changed all that much...- blackforestham
