    Alignement vs. New Tires

    I agree, rotate tires and see if veering stops, new tires, then alignment. BJ

    Problems With the LR3

    No, the alignment was not covered and it cost me $129. Everything else was covered.

    Is Rasta4x4 still in business?

    I got a response (late, but saying there was an Israli holiday) to an inquiry on the swing-away tire carrier. Same one that British Pacific used to carry/order before they dropped it. While I was waiting for the reply, I saw the Kaymar Rear Bumpers from down-under, so now, I'm torn. That...

    The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

    I'm familiar with the Driving Courses. There's one just south of me by about 3.5 hours at the Biltmore Estates in NC. And I know about the expeditions at Moab (last time I was there I was in a Hummer) with lodging at some Spa or Ranch or something. I'd like to someday do both but that is a...

    The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

    As I understand it, the Lifestyle Events are put on by the local dealers, and they get funded by LRNA. The only cost to me was time & fuel (and hotel since we stayed over the night before). The guys with us had lots of experience with LR3s and I got some attitude from some of the older...

    How are you getting 20mpg?

    Tidewater Virginia - near the ocean and bay, so it's all flat. Summer trip to Tampa was the best mileage with the 21.5. Down I-95 to I-10 and some highway down the center of Florida to I-75 into Tampa. 12 hours if I drive straight through. BJ

    How are you getting 20mpg?

    I record every fill-up, use GPS mileage compared to vehicle odo, divide gallons into the miles and have gotten as high as 21.5 and as little as 11.3 with 15 being my average. Ethanol in the fuel hurts the mileage, Regional fuels vary in qualityc also affect the mileage, and my style of...

    I'm looking for a 5-spoke 18" to make a set of five. I'd like to add the spare to my rotation for longer mileage out of my tires and it'd be nice if they all looked somewhat alike. I see a lot of the 10 spoke 18"s available as singles on fleabay....I'll buy one if you'll consider a swap 10...

    Best source for TSB

    I have a list of the TSBs for the 06 LR3 at home, but I can't remember where I found it. I'll be home tomorrow night and will look-see if it has the web address on it. Was two full pages, giving the TSB Number, and what parts were affected. You kind of have to interpret some of their...

    Wheel Spacers for 05-08 LR3; source and installation pdf

    None, they ride great. I seem to have gotten them centered real well. My concern is not immediate, but later I want to add a hitch and tow some toy trailers around. Then, I would want the stronger union that the correct spacer would give. BJ

    You can use synthetic. The manual also recommends Castro oil too, but I bet you want to use something you are familiar with. BJ
