Replacement of Air Strut Assembly: 06 LR3 HSE
My build thread on exped portal is the best list of what's been done to it. Some of the less sexy wiring is the most practical and enjoyed through the years. I've basically never "used" the ARB bar but I use the wiring and other things camping all the time. Hell I use the ARB fridge, and thus... -
Replacement of Air Strut Assembly: 06 LR3 HSE
tahuya didn't have anything like that as i recall but the dry photos are Naches just after historic sign and the muddy ones are after getting through a black rated Evans Creek. The wet photo is pre-strut spacer and the dry is post spacer. The far east end of Naches has some fairly rocky... -

255/55-19 ATTURO TRAIL BLADE MT TYRES
Their wheels are cast to have more clearance. Very little of the equation is the offset or you could simply put a 10mm spacer and call it good with an lr3 wheel. I think your phone made a typo - you should proofread ;) "bringing calipers" ... assume you meant grinding ? Yeah, we all went... -
Snow Chains
the 275/65 is too tall and too wide I bet. The reason the folks here are making RUDs work is that they're on a stock 19" size which is so much shorter it's down in the area of the UCA where there's plenty of clearance. Cables might work but would probably knick the UCA on a 32" tire. -
Snow Chains
Only 18? You're barely getting started. Anyway, you won't be passing me in a snowstorm LOL ...note avatar 7" wide wheel. FYI, I paid less for a set of lr3 18's last year including shipping. The bmw wheels are fine. -
255/55-19 ATTURO TRAIL BLADE MT TYRES
I missed that the rods came w the lr. But you're wasting every dollar on an alignment when you don't need rods on 19" wheels. Don't be a tool. You aren't driving down 36" deep snow lanes either. A snow bank or brief super dry fresh pow maybe. And to go where? To where it becomes 40" where... -
Replacement of Air Strut Assembly: 06 LR3 HSE
I'd bet a case of microbrew he simply doesn't want to worry/deal with the air struts. The coil deal actually reduces maximum clearances and also reduces articulations. It becomes a stiffer car-like event off road IMO. They're not terrible, but the cross linked air is engineered to seriously... -

255/55-19 ATTURO TRAIL BLADE MT TYRES
Nice. re-read my post. Sure hope you'll never try to fit a 325 or 295 width on an lr4. Zero body hacking....try reading before attacking someone who's trying to help you. 32" does require flattening a metal flange....big deal. You cannot see any of the small mods that all of us have done to... -

We all love photos! Thanks for posting :) -
255/55-19 ATTURO TRAIL BLADE MT TYRES
ok, so that $1400, add to it the cost of alignment and rods, now you have about 1700? Spacers and cheap lr3 wheels and you're off. You don't need iidtool unless you plan to screw w stuff. If you get an 18", you can fit a little bigger tire like 31.5. Generally 18's are cheaper tires than... -
255/55-19 ATTURO TRAIL BLADE MT TYRES
Total BS. and I don't mean you are BS or what you did, just that the idea of needing rods is BS. The rods only emptied yur pocket. They did nothing to help the ground clearance. You can get same height without them. To other people, spend the $ on iidtool, not dumb rods for height. Rods... -
Replacement of Air Strut Assembly: 06 LR3 HSE
Struts ideally do not lose enough air overnight to notice. If the dash ever says something about it, then it's more than a slow leak. Between that and nothing, it's actually hard to know how slow or at all seeing as they do things that cause the compressor to come on even when perfectly new... -
255/55-19 ATTURO TRAIL BLADE MT TYRES
1-I've never heard of that tire but also true it could be just fine. However, who wins all the baja races....? I run Nokian for winter, BFG for dirt and Michelin for highway which is probably the weakest one of all and that's saying something IMO. I've heard the MS2 will crack the rubber... -

Putting LR4 Brakes on LR3
There is no question the lr3/4 looks so much more awesome with +2" and the 32" tire, especially when set out on a wider stance as well. Trust me, I'm a sucker for that look too. There is no need for the rods whatsoever unless you install the strut spacer. I cannot understand why it is such a... -
2012 LR4 with Early AMK Compressor Failure
This is just one more reason running lifted on rods all the time is a poor choice. Not that he was doing this, but so many people want to ride around town and everywhere paved while 'lifted' via rods or iidtool which is 100% silly. Using the strut spacers is a PITA to set up but then the air... -
255/55-19 ATTURO TRAIL BLADE MT TYRES
WTF is "Atturo" ? I will never understand people who spend $$$$ on a vehicle but then skimp pennies on something as important as a tire when it's so simple to choose high quality providing nearly zero worries. A 19" so called 'MT' is a complete joke on the buyer, almost as pointless as a 20"... -
2012 LR4 with Early AMK Compressor Failure
or just complaining too much LOL I know my lr3 is on a 2nd compressor that was new probably around 75k now at 150k. Keep in mind people, new compressor can also require programming to chat w the car properly. -
Replacement of Air Strut Assembly: 06 LR3 HSE
I look directly at the line and nut going in every time. Not sure what you're trying to do but if the top of the strut is roughly 4-5" below it's mounting plate, and then turned approximately 45 degrees counter clockwise looking from top, then the air inlet is roughly the closest thing to you... -
Replacement of Air Strut Assembly: 06 LR3 HSE
Heat shield is 100% not a hindrance. You have to work slowly when it comes to nut like that one doing it by hand at the end and carefully keeping it wedged between fingers. Cutting that line was a bad idea... to attached you just need to rotate the strut and draw enough line through. With...
