Calico Ghost Town - Doran Loop trail
You might want to have a few more trails under your belt and some good armor before you attempt this one! I was fortunate to have Nathan Woods as a spotter the whole way. It was a difficult one indeed! -
It feels like Christmas
Be sure to take it out on the trail first thing or risk getting coal in you stocking. -
Recovery Points?
Yes to taking it off before getting on the trail. No to the strap damage unless you do something careless. -
Buying New Tires - LR3 - Need Advice
I'll second that! Use of the search function is best. -
Recovery Points?
Remove plastic panel under front bumper for front recovery point. One turn on a few plastic screws is all it takes. You can also do a search on this forum, I believe this has been covered pretty well. -
Changing Out Rims for Off-Roading
This would be good advice if BFG made an MT to fit the LR3. I am very interested in the KM2's. -
Question Regarding Sump Guards
I agree, wheel first, then modify according to your experiences on the trail. -

Hi-Country out of biz?
That's a bummer. They did have a pretty good line-up of LR3 products. Hope they can re-organize and re-surface. -
Fuel Tank Skid
I'm no expert David, but there aren't many of my mods anyway that have just slid on and bolted down easy-peasy. It seemed there was always some kind of adjustment that had to be made to accomplish a fit. -
Fuel Tank Skid
The holes in the tranfer case skid did not line up properly so we had to drill new holes in order to fit. So the T-case skid did need a slight modification as opposed to the tank skid. -
Two Quick Questions
I ran Toyo Open Country ATs 285/60-18 and they were pretty good to me. The sidewalls are "reinforced" and it's a good looking tire. I switched to the BFG's because they stand up to the jagged rocks more so than the Toyo's. -
Two Quick Questions
Chesapeake, I use to run a C load tire and they did OK for the most part. Since then I have moved on to the BFG's. It is my opinion that if you run trails with a lot of sharp rocks & ledges you tend to pinch your sidewalls more and the E load is the way to go. If the trails you run tend to be... -
Skid Plate-Slider question . . .
I have run Toyo Open Country A/Ts. Good tire, easy to balance. Good on road and good for moderate offroading. -

Tire chains and 265/65 r18 tires
Heck, I was afraid to run the Ruds on the the stock 255/60's. Very little room. -
Tire chains and 265/65 r18 tires
Learth, there are situations where the California Highway Patrol will not let you proceed without chains. Three years ago I ecountered this on the way to a ski trip up to Mammoth. I'm not an expert on driving in the snow by any stretch (from San Diego) but I do know on an Iced up road that... -

More Tire Advice
Shaved 11mm off the rods. I have done 2 alignments since then. Once when I got the BFG,s and once here just recently. I have seen guys that shaved 12-14mm off, and in my opinion this is too much because it causes tires to "toe in" while in new ride height which causes poor tire wear. -
More Tire Advice
I have run them full time for about a year now. No problems, no bowing in or uneven tire wear, no suspension faults. -
Broke my first part... replacement?
Yep, people get those ripped off all the time. I didn't mess with replacing mine. If you are going to continue to do moderate to advanced trails, leaving them off might be your call as well. Otherwise I think you have to get the exhaust shields from the dealer. -
