    LR3 Skid Plates Design/Sizes etc.

    I think I have concluded that this is exactly what I should do. I was excited about the building part of it and tweaking it. Seems like its probably not worth it.

    LR3 Skid Plates Design/Sizes etc.

    Whydahdvr, that's a great idea. I will do some prototyping on card board. Then bring in the car to the factory and do the fitting. That will get the ball rolling for the next cuts. Just need a local rig that is fitted with skid plates to base it off of I guess, I believe that will make it a bit...

    LR3 Skid Plates Design/Sizes etc.

    Hmmm... I will explore this further and see if this can be done. I was thinking maybe I can use some existing template design from someone's rig and make it work. Have some ideas but will see.

    LR3 Skid Plates Design/Sizes etc.

    This weekend I was visiting a friend's mechanical factory in Monroe, WA and then it dawned on me that I can have him build me some skid plates for LR3. His factory is fully equipped with plasma cutters, welding machines, bending machines and all sorts of other stuff that I don't know the names...

    OBDII Diagnostic tool?

    Just checking to see what do you guys recommend for a decent ODBII Diagnostics device in the market? Looking for something that can read codes and has database updates, fault clearing etc. Someone mentioned CarMD, any good? Ideas? References?

    The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

    Likewise! It was nice meeting you and the rest of the crew... I am going to post a short trail run video on FB page soon. Nothing special, just drives. Next time I'll try to capture more vids, should probably bring a dedicated video/photo person.

    How to remove a Tow Hitch?

    Ok, tried to do that. I don't have enough room below the bumber and above the lock to punch it out with a nail. Ideas?

    How to remove a Tow Hitch?

    Went to Bellevue dealership today, they told me that they can cut the whole assembly off and charge me for the labor, and were selling me just the lock. I was like if thats the case then what the hell am I going to do with the freagin' lock? I would need a brand new tow hitch. And if thats the...

    Warped Exhaust Manifold

    Typically it's the idiot service people who have the problem and not the cars so much. I was at a dealership today for something very minor compared to yours and even that they had no f'ing clue about and what they were talking about. Folks on these forums are much more knowledgeble than the...

    Thinking of installing Yaesu FT-2900R Radio

    duckdive, I did think about those points. Here is what I am going to do. Drill a hole on the plastic cover the size of the mount. Thread it in and use rubber washer on top that came with it and a nut. At the base I will attach a metal bracket to the lower threaded part of the mount. Screw it...

    Mack73, speaking of which, when are we getting together? I need to pick up the rods too ;) We should also ping Houm_WA and see if he can make it too.

    Thinking of installing Yaesu FT-2900R Radio

    I opened it and seems like it will do. Its actually on the metal and can offer ground plane if mounted correctly. Plus I have the detachable kind so the antenna is only mounted when needed. Attaching pic for explanation. I won't have to drill holes as it is already present, and the wiring...

    Chrome color grille? Naah. Gray works better!

    I think I am sold on that grille. Can you not use the existing emblem? Does it fit snug and good as it's supposed to? I have Tonga Green LR3, wonder if its going to look as good as black?

    Thinking of installing Yaesu FT-2900R Radio

    I noticed that at the end of the roof there is a lip with plastic covering. Since mine is SE model, I am assuming that opening is for GPS antenna that comes with HSEs. I was thinking of using that spot to attach the Ham antenna, plus it will offer a good metal ground plane for it too. Wiring...

    How to remove a Tow Hitch?

    Called the stealership. They said they can try out different keys to see if they can open it. If not they will drill out the lock and replace it with a new one. The new kit is needed regardless even if they were able to open it with their keys so that I can have a new set. The part costs...
