    The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

    Those are the LR3/option 2 slim. So they have the stand off tubes, but the tubes dont stick out quite as much as the standard stand off tubes- think there is about a 1 inch difference in the slim tubes vs the standard tubes. I think RS also offers the sliders with no stand off tubes. No...

    Would this winch work on LR3?

    The install was $650- a very fair price considering the amount of work involved. The Devon bumper kit was $1300. I got the sythetic line and had the controller mounted inside to hood. Justin at Lucky 8 did a nice job on the install.

    Would this winch work on LR3?

    This is the winch I decided to go with- Devon Discreet bumper mount with a Warn VR10000 - Lucky 8 did the install. Very happy with it, looking forward to next week when the MTRs go on and I fianlly get to try it out.

    Need advice on possible front bumper hitch mount...

    It might work, an ARB bumber with a winch on it must add a couple hundred pounds and I havent seen any complaints about how that impacts driving. Then again, with 600 pound on front, people inside, and the airstream on the back, you might be close to the overall weight limit. I tow a 19' Bambi...

    LR4 owner needs help from LR3 owners

    I have the RS sliders slim option- and love them. Great protection. I agree with Toddjb122, there is a slight difference in the noise. You can hear the compressor more, but only at idle, and for me it isn't an irritating sound. The other thing I notice is a little more vibration/resonation on...

    -Off topic- What kind of car did you own before your LR3?

    1999 Disco 2, only the LR3 could replace it!

    RS Sliders and noise supression?

    The compressor noise is noticable, but not at all bothersome. For me, the vibration is on acceleration, hardly any difference otherwise when cruising.

    RS Sliders - installed.

    Looks good Mr. Bigs! Having put a set on myself, I'm sure glad they're on to stay. Now you need to get out there and get the bottoms of both those things nice and scratched up!:proud:

    brake controller

    You'll be happy with the Prodigy controller. I went ahead and mounted the controller bracket to the panel just above my right knee. Yes, I made holes, but I was able to snake the wire through the void behind the steering column ....

    How do you outfit the LR3 for family vacations (gear hauling)

    That looks like Oregon Inlet on the Outer Banks. I use this hitch carrier mainly so I can bring the fishing cart with me. If you have a dog that like to swim, the dog carrier matched with the rubber cargo mat is perfect for transporting a wet, sandy dog around.

    Wrangler MTR vs Pirelli Scorpion ATR

    The MTRs aren't deafening, but they do have a good hum to them. I just didnt want to give up that smooth ride on long trips and its not a big deal, but my mileage dropped by about 1 mpg. They do look pretty good on the truck.

    Wrangler MTR vs Pirelli Scorpion ATR

    Normally I run the Michelin Synchrones, but they dont do that well in mud, got stuck a few times. I needed something more agressive, but didnt want the noise of MTRs all the time. So, I took the plunge and got an extra set of used 19" rims to mount the MTRs on. The MTRs work well for the...

    Jacking the LR3 with RS Sliders

    These pics confirm I that I put the jack in the worst possible place. I meant to set the jack right under the frame. But being in a hurry, I set the jack just outside the frame rail where the weight was on the that tab part of the slider. Luckily I saw what was happening and re-set the jack...

    Jacking the LR3 with RS Sliders

    I have the Rover Specialties sliders, slim option. There's nothing wrong with the sliders, it was just a really dumbass place for me to put the jack. I'll try to send a picture of it later and you'll see. I still have full confidence that no rock or other obstacle would be able to bend the...

    Jacking the LR3 with RS Sliders

    I always put the jack right under the frame rails. Using a floor jack (on a piece of wood), I forgot to do that once and the jack was toward the rear of the truck where the slider curves. As I raised the jack, I saw the slider start to bend as the weight of the truck came down on it. Nothing...

    Door Gaskets and RS Sliders

    This summer, I installed a set of the RS sliders. When I first put them on I noticed that the rubber strip hanging along the bottom edge of the door doesnt make contact with the slider, there is about a half inch gap. Maybe not a big deal, I dont think (or at least I hope) this gasket is not...

    Constant power to nav draining battery?

    I had a similar problem and it was the alternator. The radio and nav will come on without the key, but shouldn't run the battery down like that.

    Sliders instalation help

    You have to remove the air compressor cover, the slider will not fit on with it in pace. When I took the cover off, I was surprised at how much mud and water had gotten inside it. The cover wasn't designed to be water tight, but is was made to drain so it could dry out. Seeing that, I decided...

    Sliders instalation help

    I installed mine with the help of my 13 year old son. It would think its easier if there is someone to help you when positioning them in place, but it can be done alone. Here is a tip on what had me baffled, I could not get the front body mount bolt to thread, then after going over the...
