    How high can we safely run the tire pressure?

    That would be Command Shift mode and it works fine in that mode. I'm talking just Sport mode where the shifter is moved to the left but no gears are manually selected. I've found that sometimes at highway speeds (60+ mph) it will stay in 5th gear. If I flip it to normal it'll shift to 6th.

    How high can we safely run the tire pressure?

    I agree with Houm on "why sport mode"? I use sport around town but I found that on the highway it will sometimes fail to switch into 6th gear thus affecting mileage. Oh, and fwiw, I accomplished 22.5 mpg on a Land Rover sponsored mileage challenge. The challenge was a nice trip down HWY 84...

    Effect of cold on LR3

    We have seen these same errors and it is definately a battery voltage issue. We had the battery replaced under warranty and the problems immediately ceased. Recently though they have been coming back so I think the battery is bad again. I'm thinking of replacing the factory battery with a...

    Anyone running BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO - 265/65/18 ?

    Lyon, I'm confused. If you are looking at BFG's then you already have 18" rims right? I ask because they don't make them in 19" rim sizes. Nathan has a nice list of what is available in 19's here

    A short trip to the forest

    I haven't done any full crank turns actually. I'll have to cruise around my street in access height and see what happens. I've labeled links as "Clicky Thing" for probably the last 10 years or so. Yeah, I've been on the net since the very early 90's. I remember when the first web browser...

    A short trip to the forest

    So far the only rubbing I found was when I was driving up that hill to get the 3 wheel action pic. The right rear rubbed a little at the top. Never been to that website.

    A short trip to the forest

    Yep, that's exactly what I did. I'm amazed that they were listed for 2 weeks and nobody had bought them.

    A short trip to the forest

    I'm using the 18" rims that I bought from someone here on the forums. Had a tire place put on some Cooper Zeon LTZ's. 285/60R18 is the size. They are miles better then the stock Goodyears. I hated those tires so much that I got rid of them after only 15k miles and put Michelin Syncrones on...

    A short trip to the forest

    Went out yesterday to test out the new tires and to have a little fun with my nitro powered RC monster truck (T-Maxx for those of you familiar with RC's). We spent a few hours driving around on the forest service roads in Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Many of the roads ended up being...

    What 18" tires should I get?

    So I checked the pressure.. The tire place only inflated them to 33 psi!! The are at 42 now.

    What 18" tires should I get?

    No snow driving yet. The "tire troughs" are basically small gullies in the asphalt road that all of the studded tires make. The residents of the Portland metro area seem to think that they have to run studded tires on their cars all winter long even though they may only actually need them for...

    What 18" tires should I get?

    Well, my LR3 has new shoes. After receiving my rims via UPS today I promptly loaded them up and took them down to Americas Tire and had them put on 4 new Zeon LTZ's. I just couldn't beat the price for a tire that everyone is saying good things about. Had the guys at the tire shop put them...

    Voice Recognition

    yeah, I found as well, that you need to talk like you are talking to a friend/wife/etc. Normal voice with no special enunciation and it'll understand 90% of the time. My wife has it set to the male british voice and it works for both of us pretty well.

    Worst Jack Ever??? Your Vote

    Or maybe LR should put decent tires on a vehicle that is supposed to go everywhere. I dumped the crapyears before I even hit 15k. Bought some synchrones. and now I have some 18" rims coming and will probably put some Zeon LTZ's on those.

    What 18" tires should I get?

    I just looked at a description of the Fortune creek run.. It looks like a very scenic place to go. I'm all for it!

    Who stands on their roof??

    What is the weight capacity up there? I thought I read that the LR rack is good for 119lbs (Per the LR website). Is this because of rack design or is that the max that the roof rails themselves (which the rack bolts to) can hold?

    What 18" tires should I get?

    Well, we're currently running Synchrones. We dumped the Goodyears at 15k miles as they were getting noisy and had no traction. But yeah, no matter what it's still an upgrade from even the Synchrones.

    What 18" tires should I get?

    Man... decisions decisions decisions.. Just curious Nathan, if the BFG's are "probably the best all around tire..." how come you are not running them? I'm grateful for everyones input on this.

    What 18" tires should I get?

    Nathan, based solely upon offroad performance, what tire has been your favorite and that you'd buy again?

    What 18" tires should I get?

    So Rob, do you run this model tire? I was having so much fun pushing that F150 out of the way that I forgot to check out your rig. ;-) Tom

    Turning off the Nav

    You could probably just disconnect the screen but you'll have to pull the dash apart to do it. There is a writeup here http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic475.html that may help you in taking things apart, etc.

    What 18" tires should I get?

    I'm in Vancouver, so yeah, right next to Porkland. Right now I'm actually leaning towards the Zeon's because the look so nice and are cheaper then my second choice which is the BFG's but I haven't even received my rims yet so I have time to look at some more reviews, etc. The Zeons are 1.45...
