Making the LR3 trail ready
Just so you are aware, there have been reports that the toddco spacers in the front, alter the geometry or allow for an increased droop which allows for the upper control arm to contact and rupture the air spring. http://www.**************/forum/topic52963-30.html replace *** with disco... -

Compressor Re-Fresh
I did the refresh on my compressor yesterday. The actual work on the compressor is super easy - only took a couple minutes. The hardest part is getting the compressor out and back in. Overall it took me about 2 hours to do the work with hand tools only. Instructions for the work can be found... -

Chrome color grille? Naah. Gray works better!
Looks good Rob. How were your bottom clips? As loose as mine? Maybe they changed it in the last year since I bought mine. -

Chrome color grille? Naah. Gray works better!
The plastidip aerosol is completely different than the liquid you drip tools into. This is more like a spray on bed liner in a can (you could probably use those as well). It will spray out the same as a traditional paint. Application is no different. The big difference is the fact that the... -

Chrome color grille? Naah. Gray works better!
Rob throw up a front shot of your rig and I'll photoshop it. As far as paint goes, use Plasti-Dip Aerosl (you can get it from Home Depot). http://www.awarehousefull.com/products/plastidip-aerosol It is rubber based so it can put up with the rocks. Any of the typical paints will chip off... -

Chrome color grille? Naah. Gray works better!
Haha Seattle thread jack. Here's mine on silver. My grill exactly matched the Land Rover letters... maybe my letters are a little faded :cool: -

Chrome color grille? Naah. Gray works better!
Geo, I have the same grill on mine in the gray. You can take a peak at it if you want before you buy. And yes definately buy a new badge. I think they're only $7 or so. -

Anyone have Tactical Rover Sliders?
So tlt was kind enough to take some photos and we were able to determine that he in fact has the RS sliders. I've decided on the Tactical Rovers. So looks like I'll be one of the first. Of course detailed pictures and my thoughts will follow -

Geo, The trans skid from Tactical rovers looks like a pretty good price. www.tacticalrovers.com Engine skid there are plenty of options, mantec, d44, etc. Rock sliders - tactical rovers, RoverSpecialties and Voyager Rack -

Anyone have Tactical Rover Sliders?
On the hunt for some sliders with air compressor/tank protection and tree protection/standoffs. Looks like I have 2 choices - Tactical Rovers and RoverSpecialties. For the same price as the RoverSpecialties I can get the tactical rovers and throw in a fuel tank skid. Second thought -... -

Looking for a BRIT PART EAS Controller
I've only had time to play with the EAS options and it is pretty dang awesome. I can load the pre-saved height settings in a couple seconds. No need to mess with the rods at all. Haven't tried to read/clear faults (as I don't have any :P) I have looked at some value settings like... -

The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread
Hum.. pics work here, anyone else having problems seeing them? Yes that was crazy fun. I had the full rasta skids and definately needed them a couple times. But after about 10 minutes the wife gave me the go ahead for rocksliders and a gas tank skid :) The South Loop is very tight and... -

The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread
Went off-roading for the first real time last Saturday with Houm_WA and Cascade Rovers. Had a blast and the LR3 is simply amazing. A couple pin stripes but nothing a little polish couldn't remove. And a bit of video from the day... yeah ignore the date/time, I accidently turned... -

LR3 DIY Folks in Seattle Area?
You can add me to the list of Seattle guys - I've done it all except engine/tranny assembly. Welding, metal fab, body work, and almost everything else you can think of. The LR3 is still pretty new to me, so I haven't had my hand too dirty yet other than basic maintenance things, but it's just... -

Suspension replacement?
Jeez soo much bad info in here. Yes Atlantic British has a kit. It looks like they have a module that you install that shuts down the terrain response and stops all fault codes. Land Rover sold a couple of coil equipped LR3's in the US - again no terrain response. But the concensus... -

Look of LR4 2009+ for LR3 2008
Yes it is possible but you need a lot of parts and $$ Both fenders, grill, front bumper, and headlights. If you have the adaptive HID's, you'll need to do a bit of wiring and disable the adaptive feature using a faultmate or other computer system. Check out disco3.co .uk - several... -
