    Spring Break - Utah Overland Trip

    Hi Nathan: I live in Salt Lake but I have been exploring the southern Utah desert for 27 years. In fact, my first trip to that part of the world was as a passenger in a friend’s new Jeep C-J to Hole-in-the-Rock in 1980. That trip convinced me I needed a Jeep too. After my first C-J, a couple...

    Tail Light Repair Advice?

    You may find a cheaper part on Ebay. The installation can't be that hard. My bet is you'll have to get a whole new tail light as the plastic cover is likely not available separately. As for how to do it, I haven't looked, but I'd open the tailgate and look for screws to get it off, or check...

    Spring Break - Utah Overland Trip

    ChuckD: Do you mean the Lockhart Basin road? If so, you are right about the road to the river- Chicken Canyon, right? That is a great drive. I have only done it on mountian bike but I saw a guy drive an F-350 down there which was a feat. In the picture, the Mountains in the background look...

    Spring Break - Utah Overland Trip

    Sounds like a great trip. You'll love the Boulder Lodge. The Burr Trail is a road. It was paved in a huge controversy in the 80's but it is very scenic still, and several good trails lead off from it if you have time (Horse and Wolverine Canyons- lots of huge trunks of petrified wood). If...

    keys in ignition

    Doors unlock when in park and key is removed. I think the only setting issue is turning the auto-lock on or off.

    Anyone have an ARB bull bar?

    Depends on what you want. The ARB bull/winch bumper runs about $1200 for the parts after including shipping. Not sure what shops charge. Maybe Gerald K. can help there. Have not prices rocker bars.

    Anyone have an ARB bull bar?

    I ordered from 4x4connection on Jan 9 and received it in about a week. I had a friend who owns a body shop sub out the powder coat, but he was nervous about doing the install (maybe he knows something I don't). But I have had the bumper coverr off of my LR3 before and from the ARB instruuctions...

    Anyone have an ARB bull bar?

    ARB fitment problem apparently solved Jeesh- hate talking to myself here, but I gathered some information I thought I'd share. Some time ago there was discussion on at least 2 other forums about a fitment problem with the left impact absorber/mounting bracket for Aussie-made ARB bull/winch...

    wierd leak

    I had the same problem with water in the passenger floor pan and it was a blocked sun roof drain. Water does not always appear thru the headliner. Have your drains checked.

    Anyone have an ARB bull bar?

    Did you have a dealer, a body shop or 4-wheel drive shop install it? Buy it through them as well? Also curious as to the cost of installation.

    New 07 LR3... Good deal?/Other question help

    Yeah- I notice no power or milage advantage here when I've tried premium. Even towing the 87 works fine in Salt Lake.

    New 07 LR3... Good deal?/Other question help

    Depends on where you live. At altitude (4200-5000) feet, I run 87 octane with no problems-good power and comparable milage to what others have reported here. My LR dealer told me to run regular since here the higher octane isn't burned anyway. If you are at lower altitude, it may matter...

    Changing all window controls to 'one touch' or automatic operation?

    Yeah, this is a drag. Surprised LR changed from a switch based control to a computer control on the same model. Weird.

    Tow hitch play

    Anything behind the vehicle is going to mess with the PDC, bike racks, trailers, etc. I can't imagine the LR bike rack is different, unless it's a carbon "stealth" rack-for which you would need "stealth" bikes. While LR probably charges enough so it should be stealth technology, I doubt they...

    How many of you have a chipped windshield

    I don't know. I guess I will try a chip repair service and ask them what they think. I didn't know that you could replace only the outer layer (maybe not?) If it works, I'll save a bundle on replacement of the whole screen.

    How many of you have a chipped windshield

    Any experience with chip repair to a heated windshield? I just received the blessing of a rock hit causing a nickel-sized chip in my heated windshield-right in my direct line of sight. Has anyone who has tried a chip repair experienced any problems with the defroster/ice melting functionality...

    Boat towing question

    I am pleased with my LR3's towing capability with the V8, but my boat weighs much less than yours at about 3700 lbs. I tow in mountains at altitudes from 4200 to 7500 feet above sea level, on regulatr gas with no problems, and I can maintain freeway speeds on all but the steepest passes.

    New LR3 question

    No one in their right mind would pay to have those Goodyear tires replaced with like tires IMHO.

    Towing and Trailer Safety Chains

    I hook mine onto the rear recovery hook ahead of the hitch assembly. That has to be the appropriate place if you don't want to rip something off of your truck.

    Paint chips?

    I have a silver '05 with the clear bra. I have not experienced any paint chipping and the clear bra is still clear and not discolored since Oct. '05. My main problem has come from GMC truck bumpers and firewood rolling off of my roof (when some idiot was loading it into my roof rack). I can't...
