    LR4 Winch/Brush Bar/Driving Lights

    I too, used to live next to the falls but now near gulliver school. what did you decide on for a front bumper and other gear? the arb bumper is really the way to go. if you want to keep the look "lite," you could simply add front and rear light guards, a ladder and call it a day. additionally...

    Finally Replaced the Front Letters...

    I'm very curious how is it mounted without drilling on the top? At the bottom, is there a flat plate that goes in between the door and the black plastic part above the license plate/with lights? That's how the OEM ladder worked. Thanks again.

    Nice ride! Is that the LR ladder? If not where did you get it? I had a GN ladder a few years back I bent it while backing into the garage with the rear hatch open... Thanks JK

    Kayaks limit

    Just picked up a Hobie outfitter. Its a cool boat but given the weight of kayak and height of LR, it takes a few tries to throw it up there. I was considering to switch out the 58" Yakima cross bars to the next size up so I can rest the boat on extended part of the bar but its still a challenge...

    Also try Gables Kats in Coral Gables just south of Merrick Park and the Collection. Ricky, the owner, works on LRs including RRs, Discos, LR3s, Volvos and Jags only. He's done work on my truck and very fair with his rates. I don't see why he couldn't install the aftermarket parts you're looking...

    Does a whining sound = failed alternator

    Ok cool. I'm glad to hear the whining is the common warning sound. I should have taken it in a while back but didn't have the time... I had the alternator replaced but because the battery drained down, will that effect its lifespan? I replaced it over a year ago and hope to get 4+ years out...

    Does a whining sound = failed alternator

    I'm over 101xxx on my HSE and 3 weeks back, I began to hear a whining sound when I turn the engine on. Over the weekend, i had suspension fault warnings, abs, and all the works icons light up. it drove in limp mode at 30mph back to my house. Today, the battery is close to drained too. Is...

    The Best LR3 All Season/Terrain Tire Thread of 2013

    I'll vote again for the ATRs. I'm on my second set and approaching 100k within the next month or 2. Overall, they are very quiet on the highway, wear well if you rotate/balance, and hold strong in water too. Being in SFL, I don't have experience with snow.. Sand yes, they work well there too.

    Ruling out the possibilities

    My sunroof is fine but not proud to say that I'm most likely the only LR3 owner to crack the huge roof glass 2x in less than 2 years. The first time it happened, without thinking, I crawled up my rear ladder and put pressure on the corner of the glass with my knee while strapping gear up...

    Dash Crack

    I have the same cracking issue with my 06 hse. OK, so it is safe to say that I just can either leave the cracks as is or simply pay dealer and replace it? I haven't seen any posts but has anyone experienced the airbag deploying at random because the dash was cracked??? I don't have...

    Roof rack pics, recommendations for 2009 LR3....

    My set up has always been with Yakima. I run 2 bike mounts on each side and have space for a box, surfboards, and kayaks in the middle. The fairing does a great job by reducing the deep buffer sound from the wind going under the front bar. There is some noise with the sunroof open but not nearly...

    Guess how much my dealer charges for tie-rods?

    I'll to this thread.. I'm taking mine in Monday to local indy shop to do the 90k service + spark plugs. for $700. My control arms were originally replaced before 50k but to date, I do not have any clunking sounds. He said he'll check them out and if they need replacing or anything else comes...

    255/55/19 Cooper Zeons are a GO!

    I didn't know these tires are out of stock. I'm on my second pair and love them for tarmac and gravel type roads. They've done a good job at climbing too.

    Mixing 18" and 19" wheels at same time

    Thanks for the direction guys. I should have clarified a few things in the post. The reason for my question is I might drive 13 hrs up to Asheville next week for work and if I have time, do a some trail driving for a day. Currently, I run 5 19" wheels with ATRs. They are excellent on road...

    Mixing 18" and 19" wheels at same time

    Currently, I run 19" rims on my LR3 and have a 5th 19" spare too. I also have a 18" rim with a used tire that I'd like to take on an upcoming trip- just as a second spare. My question, if in the worst case scenario, can i drive with a 18" rim and 3 19" rims for a short period of time- say 50...

    Cape Hatteras joins the list of beaches now charging to drive your LR3....

    I'm planning a trip to Amelia Island FL in March. Has anyone driven on this beach before? I read that a permit is also required for non locals.. Since I don't have a winch, I'm thinking I should at least have a recovery strap so someone else can pull me out- if this actually happens. In...

    What is this hollow tube? (Image Attached)

    I just noticed the corrosion too. Silly question but what is the best way to eliminate this from happening or will this need to be addressed from time to time in the future? How do I clean this up? Thanks.
