Agreed that an air mattress with foam inside is the winner. You can spend a lot less than the ExPed. I got a 3" amazon one for less than $100 and it has held up great. Def bulkier when rolled than other options, but the comfort is worth it if you have the gear space.

It's been a while, but basically finding the correct TPMS CCF option - and select "not fitted" very straightforward and in case anyone wants help justifying the GAP tool . . . $85 per sensor x4 = almost 70% the price of the tool then program yourself a spare $25 ebay key with it, and you're...

When my TPMS batteries died I chose to deactivate the system with my GAP tool rather than replace for $$ Also keeps the light off the dash when I air down

You might have better luck on a Land Rover forum - I would think lots of members would want these. Great price too.

Here is my personal maintenance info: Oil: Castrol GTX 5w30 (8.6L dry fill, 7.7L refill) Filter: WIX 57302, Drain Plug: M14 x 1.50 Trans: ZF LifeGuard 6, Mercon SP (6L) Non-locking Diffs: Castrol Syntrax Longlife 75w-90 (LRN7591), Royal Purple Max Gear (01300), (Front: .69L, Rear: 1.16L) TC...

Best vehicle purchase I have ever made. I do all my own service/repairs. LR specific forums are a wealth of pre-purchase info, post-purchase how-to, and "been there fixed that". Besides the info above, buy one from a DRY CLIMATE. I truly believe un-addressed water leaks, and rust/rot are the...

X4 for the Falken. 265/60R18 XL specifically. Full size spare will fit underneath easily in this size. You really should have XL rating (or higher) for the LR3, regardless of the brand you choose. I have over 50k on mine, and still going! I do a 5-tire rotation every 5k miles. They are snow...

maybe they don't send those during their "parking lot sale"?

I have been considering soft shackles, and your input may have just convinced me to switch. Here is the front (in red this time!) - maybe less beefy.

Mine weighs over 6300lb empty, some get north of 7500lb. I appreciate the words of caution, always good to be safe! Here is a pic of the LR3 rear point (someone painted theirs yellow - which more clearly shows it's beefiness)

I agree that insert is the way to go for hitch recovery. I am glad to have a factory recovery point F/R, to use w/ my 7/8" D-ring shackles.

Maybe someone mentioned but I missed it . . . Isn't a huge advantage of the hitch pin method, the elimination of a large, heavy projectile? Use a good pin, throw a blanket/damper over the strap, and keep your distance.

OK - I will be the one to suggest the LR3 - haha I know . . . just hear me out. Pros: + Very Capable Off Road, even stock with just good A/T tires + Great Traction Control, standard center locking diff and available rear with 45:1 crawl ratio + Bulletproof 4.4 V8, strong ZF transmission + Cheap...

Loving that stubby intake, very Hummer H1!

My only experience with VEVOR was horrific. Shockingly terrible product. I was embarrassed for them. I will never buy anything from them again, and recommend others do not.
