    New 06 LR3 HSE - a couple questions

    They do have some events that are only for those who have purchased vehicles from them, but the annual moab trip is for all Land Rover owners. In fact, you might not even have to own a Land Rover--I'm not sure. I didn't buy my LR3 from them either. The trip is May 20-22. It's $599 for two...

    New 06 LR3 HSE - a couple questions

    Welcome calibre. Are you in Utah? Are you planning on doing any off-roading? JFYI, The Utah Land Rover dealership (in Centerville) is planning a Moab trip in May.

    FINALLY! Part of the Family !!!

    Oh wow, you're right. They have a similar tread pattern! I have no idea how long those will last; sorry for the false alarm :) Strike three for me! I won't post any more on this thread :stupido2:

    FINALLY! Part of the Family !!!

    Has anyone on this board gotten much more than 25k out of their stock tires? I just replaced my originals at 23k just last month. They probably could have gone a bit more, but definitely not capable for doing anything other than driving to the mall in the summer time.

    Even if he gets another pair for off-roading and even if the pair he has ride well... they will still only last 20k-25k miles, which is pretty crappy regardless.

    Only about 20k miles! I would suggest selling them to somebody while they are new, and then using that money to get better tires. I would guess most people here will suggest the same thing.

    Oh yeah... and sell those tires and get some new ones ;) A looooooooot of suggestions/info on this board about tires.

    FINALLY! Part of the Family !!!

    Hmm.. I was just assuming because of the unlocked symbol on his 4x4 info screen. I guess I don't know if that necessarily means anything. Does it? I also just noticed his sig says he has a black audi and I asked him if he had owned a black vehicle before... Maybe I just struck out on...

    FINALLY! Part of the Family !!!

    Congrats and welcome! I have the black on black and love it! I'm jealous of your rear locker, though! If you've never owned a black vehicle be sure to read up about taking care of one... it's a lot of work, but it's a pleasure to clean such a beautiful vehicle ;)

    Gps??

    I have Motionx also, but I definitely prefer Gaia. They are both a bit ugly/clumsy, but Gaia gets the job done. One pro tip: if you're downloading maps in Gaia GPS, be sure to set the "Max Zoom" slider to its highest setting so that you can zoom in to a decent level on the topo map when you...

    Gps??

    fwiw, the Gaia GPS app uses USGS maps with seamless stitching (but you do have to cache the area you are going to be traveling in)

    Gps??

    With that particular app, the photo taking is integrated into the app. So, as you're driving around you just tell the app you want to take a picture and it takes the picture and does all the magic to keep track of where it was taken. The nice part is that it's all integrated and simple, and...

    Gps??

    I have an iPhone and I just use an app named Gaia GPS[1]. It lets you download and cache a pretty good amount of map (so that you can use it where you don't have a data connection), and it only costs $2.99. You can also upload your trips and photos from the trip to EveryTrail[2]. It's not a...

    Moab Trail Ratings

    Thanks J.D. My original post was about a trip with the dealer (which I wasn't worried about). I won't be able to make that trip, so I am thinking about meeting up for the Solihull Society National Rally. I think it will be a bit more hardcore than the dealer trip.

    Sure, but it's this part of nwoods's post that makes me a bit nervous: And then there's shots like these:

    Moab Trail Ratings

    Ugh. So, i just got the exact date for the trip (May 20-21) and I won't be able to go that weekend. I'm pretty bummed. I saw that the Land Rover National Rally is in Moab again this year (in October), but I am a little concerned about beating up my stock truck. Nathan, thanks again for...

    Yeah... $286 is crazy :( Pick up parts from http://www.roverparts.com/ or http://bputah.com/ and do that sort of stuff yourself; besides, it's cool to learn more about the truck.

    Mileage vs. Age

    I have no empirical data to back up my opinion, but i always look for an older vehicle with low miles, that has been kept in a garage. For example, my LR3 is a 2006 with 25k miles and my commuter car is a little 1999 subaru impreza with 55k miles. Of course, if you're buying a newer car you'll...

    Power Steering Fluid

    I was changing my oil last week (on my 06 LR3 SE w/ 25k miles) and I noticed that my power steering is exactly on the minimum fill line. I don't know how long it has been this way as this is the first time I've really looked at it. I don't suspect there is a leak because it hasn't moved at all...

    Jaguard and Land Rover to share platforms

    I don't really know anything about the current platforms, but I thought this was interesting: http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1042720_jaguar-and-land-rover-to-share-platforms I wonder if it will effect offroadability. Oops, title should say "Jaguar" obviously.

    Spare wheel/tire options.

    Local classifieds had one for $100 a few weeks ago and I'm kicking myself for not jumping on it.
