    Advice on a new vehicle? (to augment or replace the LR3)

    Focusing on the roof to maximize roof space, I have 58" bars with a Thule evolution box (16 cu ft). The 58" width allows for my box, a long board and 1 bike. However based on your needs, have you considered any of the following? 1. Switch out your existing roof rails for the new versions...

    Pirelli ATR VS Hankook Ventus AS RH07

    From experience, I'll pick 2 and say the ATRs are still very quiet and yes, you'll get lots of life out of them. Right now i have over 33k miles since Jan 09 and they wear nicely. Note, my driving 90% on road in SoFl. As for snow, I don't recall how they handle but check the tirerack review...

    SE/HSE, whcih one did you choose/why?

    Originally considered a low mileage '06 V6, 7 passenger. But then after looking at multiple SEs with the V8, the prices were slightly more but felt there was better value for the SE. However in the end, the absolute best buy was a 06 HSE loaded with all options and low miles. It sold for less...

    No locking rear differential in the USA

    Well, there are a few out there but supposedly they are all taken. As of yesterday, the dealer is still waiting on LR UK for availability. Yeah, I've had it for almost 3 years now and it has been absolutely solid and a joy to drive.

    Pirelli Scorpion ATRs are great tires- I have over 30k and they are still going strong- super quiet on the highway.

    No locking rear differential in the USA

    My '06 LR3 has been at the dealer now for over a week and as of Friday, there are no rear locking differentials in the US. The dealer is waiting to hear from someone (not sure of the source) if one is being shipped from the UK or still needs to be manufactured. Has anyone else had their rear...

    What did you do to your LR3 today?

    Cbboard, very nice photos, looks like everyone enjoyed playing around out there...What type of full length rack do you have up there on the LR3? Where did you get it and is there open space for the sun roof to open all the way but yet you can walk around in other parts? can you send an image...

    Normal for new brakes to squeak?

    Well they claimed they bled the brakes but it sure does not feel like it. I need to confirm this again and ensure they added the DOT 4 too. As for ceramics, it seems like the life is much shorter than metal. I've averaged 25k miles per set in the past- what is the typical life expectancy for...

    Normal for new brakes to squeak?

    In addition to the squealing, the foot pedal is very soft and when coming to a light, i feel like i need more distance to stop...and sometimes feel like the pads won't stop at all....generally im on the highway making rounds from MIA to orlando, tampa, sarasota...but in town, i hear them way too...

    Normal for new brakes to squeak?

    Zulu what is the EPB? Maybe that is the issue...but what about this... This is the 3rd set of pads. 1st was from new, 2nd done at dealer. both those times, I never had any squealing. Now for 3rd time, i went to a non LR indy shop and after 2months, they squeal. I went back there last...

    Child safety seat locations?

    I have 2 large Britax Boulavarde seats in center and passenger side. as he mentioned, use the latches on each side for the center position. The other seat faces forward so i use the seat belt here. Btw, these seats are great especially with the additional head support so when they sleep ( 4...

    Normal for new brakes to squeak?

    Thanks for the direction but realistically, I cannot see even an LR dealer going through these steps after each brake/rotor install. It seems like too much "extra" work for them. In addition, I notice the pedal is not very firm at all- it goes down quite a distance when coming to a stop- even...

    Normal for new brakes to squeak?

    Just had new brakes/rotors/sensors installed a month ago and now notice the brakes squeak while coming to a stop. Work was done at at a non LR indy shop and was told that OEM LR parts were used. Perhaps the sensors are too close to the brakes/rotors which allows this to happen? I have never...

    Extended Warranty Question

    As a comparison to the dealer offering, i purchased the Ford ESP for 6yr/100k for $2,000 with a $50 deductible (2 additional years plus 50k after the factory warranty runs out) before my factory warranty ran out. Many ppl here have gone the ESP route and so far are pleased with the overall...

    The annual 19 inch tire question! Whattya got? Whattya like?

    The ATRs have exceeded my expectations in many areas. Milage: i have over 30k on them and still decent remaining tread. Wear is very even. They are extremely quiet= even now, i do not notice them on my monthly trips around FL. As for trails, I've have had zero issues while exploring the...

    LR3 Ladder Group Buy

    Neil, The ladder looks great, my 2 year old loves climbing up to sit on the roof! However, I noticed that the ladder hooks at the top are not tight at all as they barely wrap over the inside edge of the tailgate. With the door closed and open, the top of the ladder does move when i pull on...

    Wrangler MTR vs Pirelli Scorpion ATR

    Both tires are excellent 19" selections but function in 2 different directions. I've had the ATRs for over 25k and they are great on road, very quiet. I've driven on trails and they do the job without a question- including moderate muddy trails- even pulled out a H2 that bottomed out in a...
