    Awesome LR Flatirons Trip!!!

    As I am sure that a lot of you already know, Land Rover Flatirons is not your typical LR Dealership. Their service and sales experience is always top notch and, on top of that, they sell aftermarket lift kits, skid plates, etc. This weekend, they put on a trip to Moab for their customers and I...

    grinding noise

    I was out wheeling in Lefthand Canyon on Big Mama Hill this weekend. As I was backing down a section to take another shot at it, I heard a really nasty metal on metal grinding sound coming from the left front wheel. I was running the rod mod in "offroad" height and running 265/65 18 Hankook...

    Reliability

    So I was just curious how the LR3 faired overall now that its out of production and I convinced my mother and father to buy one for their trips from Scottsdale to Durango. I took a look at Edmunds and was pleasantly surprised at what I saw. There was just about all green dots for all model...

    Compressor Protection, without sliders?

    Though I would love to buy a set of RS Sliders, it isn't going to happen anytime soon. It seems that it would be possible to protect the compressor with a thick piece of metal being bolted to the frame (maybe slightly raised to give a little breathing room). Has anybody seen this anywhere? It...

    Expedition Rack Tinkering

    Can anyone tell me how to take the top section off of the expedition rack? I have seen one or two trucks with the upper section removed and it appears to be an interesting solution. I need to get a ski rack and Yakima box up there, but it doesn't work with the upper section attached. Also...

    Warning lights and water

    The last couple times I have gone wheeling, we have had some pretty significant water crossings. Both times, my suspension warning light has gone on(yellow) and then turned off after exiting the water. Additionally, the day after the trip(both times) my check engine light has gone on(yellow)...

    Funny Issues

    So I have had the LR3 at the shop for a dashboard squeek and a couple other minor issues. I dropped by this afternoon to do a test run with the foreman(really great guy) and we couldn't recreate the squeek. On the test drive, my driver side seat stopped working which I thought was kind of...

    expedition rack install

    I am picking up the LR expedition rack this afternoon from a guy on Craigslist for $400. He says they took it off day 1, stored it in their garage and never used it. Good deal I guess. Does anyone know if there are any difficulties installing this thing? Mainly, I am concerned about how to...

    Onboard Air(using LR3's existing compressor)

    I had the day off today, so I decided to pick up a full size spare and check out a few of the 4x4 shops in the area for toys. After trying, unsuccessfully, to fit the inflated Cooper Zeons under the car, I decided that I needed some way to fill the spare back up if I ever need to use it. I...

    On board air (cheap)

    So after experiencing the significant benefits of airing down, I now need to figure out a better way of airing back up. So far, I have been able to find someone with onboard air at the trailhead that is kind enough to lend me their compressor... I looked at some compressor options, but they...

    2006 LR3 10 Spoke Wheels

    LR3 18'' Rim

    Zeon LTZ tire pressure

    I just had the Cooper Zeon's put on last night. My buddy thinks it makes the truck look awesome and I have to agree. My wife thinks it makes the truck less classy...exactly. Hopefully I don't get any more "grocery getter" comments. I have two questions... 1) Does the tire pressure need to...

    Hankook Dynapro AT

    I was leaving work last night at about 9:00pm when I noticed that one of my tires had been slashed...WTF. On the bright side, I now have an excuse to upgrade from the stock size. So, I am looking at the Hankook and the Cooper. Everyone and their mother loves the Cooper and I am sure it will...

    wheeling the LR3

    It was another warm day in Boulder, CO, so I decided to try out the LR3 on some of the trails at Lefthand Canyon that I used to do in college with my TJ. I haven't made any modifications to the truck yet, but thought I could at least have a little fun with the stock tires. I hooked up with a...

    Roof Top Tents

    I am considering purchasing a roof top tent(OLA) and wanted to know if these can be mounted to a normal Thule/Yakima crossbar setup or require a more significant rack like the Rover Rack.

    Shakes and Rattles

    I have had my CPO 2006 LR3 with the 3rd row seats for about 5 months now and it seems to have a lot of shakes and rattles coming from the headliner and rear of the truck in general. The truck is completely silent on the highway, but on city streets it can be a little annoying. Does everyone...
