Theres one thing I love about my LR3 and that is the fact it is an extremely comfortable traveling vehicle, i have put about 50,000 miles on mine in a little over a year and 4 months. It is a fairly roomy vehicle when it comes to a five...

    DIY cargo basket

    I say its very possible, the only thing I have seen that will be tough is that the rood has a very slight arch to it. Its so small you'd almost not even see it but its there! I have an Urban Offroad rack that I'm getting ready to cut up and redesign it myself. I say go for it and good luck

    WIll it help anyone to know that the sensor is only on when the brake pedal is at its highest point (rest). when applied about a half of an inch to an inch down the sensor goes off.

    Machining Rotors?

    My dealer informed me that rotors where unable to be machined. The brake shop told me the same, saying it was just like a BMW and if they turn the rotors there use a 90% chance I will expierencd uneven wear while will cause wobble and wheel shake under braking so I chose to replace rotors with...

    Front windshield electric defroster distortion at night

    No kidding i noticed it pretty bad at night in the winter time. In fact the only time you should really notice the distortion is when its on at night. The heat in combination with lines causes a light refraction. I asked my eye doctor about it last year when i had eye surgery because thats when...

    LR3 Subwoofer

    THe sub goes for 249.00 at the majority of quality car audio shops, the amp 299.00. Wiring kit was about 60 bucks and the knob all together was 40 and the line converter was 18 bucks. You dont "have" to use that amp any amp that can push 200 x 1 at 4 ohms will work but they key too almost all...

    LR3 Subwoofer

    After doing tons and tons of research and also taking apart the tailgate I learned that the tailgate was really not an option for two reasons. 1.) the sheet metal is thin on it. Causing flexing of the back, outside, of the tailgate. This will cause a lot of rattling and poor sound. 2.) running...

    Spot Light / Roof Lights

    You said you want something 150mm +. Yeah the 140's arent bright, but the 240 XGT's pump out an amazing 1 million candelpower and can give 1 lumen of light at 1400 Meters, so saying they arent bright is not a true statement. Also arent cheap, i paid about 400 for the pair without wires.

    Lift Kit Anyone?

    But see that where everyones wrong here. A 6 inch lift kit on a truck Lowers your front diff and transfer case, and in most cases your torsion bar's by 4 inches. Your 2-2.5 or so of additional lift comes from the change in Z height from your torsion bars, and thats what increases your CV...
