Just got a call from a buddy on a road trip back to California from Alaska. On the way down he stopped to play in some dunes somewhere in the Yukon territory. While playing he missed a big dip/ditch and hit one side of the front end pretty good but didn't notice any damage. Nothing visible to...

OK, who's going to the Western National Land Rover Rally in the Sierra? Should have trail runs for anybody from stock to rock crawler. Even doing a pre-event run on the Rubicon for the more adventurous. If you were at the first event in Sedona, you know it was a blast. This one should be...

...if it stays up for over an hour seek professional assistance.... I've been off the forum for about a month now. First I was on a week long trip in the Rover then a week long trip by boat in BC. I'm just now getting back to reading the forum to see what's been going on in my absence. And...

OK, here's a question for you. Maybe out dealer-techs will have some input. I am not aware of any aftermarket gears for the LR3. Since most people don't run over 32" tires there's not a lot of demand. But some of us are running 33s and a handful are or have at least tried 35s. By the time...

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should The Rubicon – that’s a name to inspire dreams! Unquestionably the most famous trail in the country and possibly the world, the Rubicon is on every off-roader’s bucket list. It’s certainly been on mine for a while now. Talk to any old timer and...

I've come across an RRC for sale a little south of Portland, OR. I'm interested but can't get up there for a couple weeks at best. Anybody here in that area who might be able to put eyes on it and give me a quicky report? If so, send me a PM or just email me directly at zelatore1@gmail.com...

I've been running 32" tires for a couple years now. Goodyear Duratracs in 275/65-18. I did all the normal clearancing work to clear these - the rear heater hose and body seam mod; move the left front sensor wiring; cut back the frame horns at the rear of the front wheel wells, and some...

I have a thread in the for sale section but I'm guessing many of you don't read that regularly unless you're looking to buy. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/150595-11-Kawi-KLR-650-trade-for-RRC-or-DI The short of it is I have a 2011 KLR650 with about 350 miles that I'd like to...

I've got a 2011 Kawasaki KLR650 with less than 350 miles I'd like to trade for your Range Rover Classic or Discovery I. How did I end up with a bike with basically no miles? A client bought it, rode it once, and parked it with about 30 miles. About a year ago he traded it to me for payment on...

Leaving the Sacramento area in a couple hours and heading to Sedona for the WNLRR. We're detouring south to run up Back Way to Crown King tomorrow about noon. Any of you planning to be there? We should have my LR3 + a couple DIIs rolling together from Palm Desert starting tomorrow morning and...

I'm not sure anybody here has any info on this but thought I'd ask. I'm beginning to hear a slight click in the front; sounds like a CV may be getting tired. I also have a small leak on one of the boots, so I figure I'll go ahead and do both front half shafts when I do the other work in the...

We all know the LR3 is a heavy bugger. Even more so when armored and loaded with camping gear. Over the weekend I ran Deer Valley from highway 4 up to the top (it's closed on past this and you can't run all the way up to 88 currently). On the way back down I had my first real mechanical...

Ah yes, just when you think you've got it sorted something new comes along.... While on the trail this weekend the dread red suspension warning light came on and I found the front had dropped to the bump stops. Oddly, the rear stayed up. I cleared the codes but had a C1A00 - control module...

Tires….again. . I’m looking for a 275-70/18 tire for my LR3. I’m currently running Goodyear Duratracs and have been mostly satisfied with their performance however I have chunked the tread and gouged the sidewalls significantly in 20K miles. I’ve only holed one sidewall (small, plugged) but...

I spent last week on the trail in the Sierras and toward the end of the week noticed my EAS compressor running too often and for too long. The truck doesn't settle over night, plus the airbags are less than a year old, so I don't suspect a strut. My thinking was that I may have a leak at the...

I'm not usually in this section of the forum so bear with me if this is a foolish question. I work in the marine world and we commonly have 120 or 240v water heaters that also incorporate a heat exchanger to heat the water from the engine's coolant. That seems common enough in the RV world as...

Here's the story: Last weekend I had a EAS error light come on and drop me to the bumpstops just as I was coming off the trail. I was able to clear it with the GAP tool but it would come back within a mile or two of driving. I kept seeing the front right sensor go out of range on the in-dash...

With all the weight of armor and gear, my LR3 comes in north of 7000lbs. This combined with running lifted (Johnson rods) means I'm running a lot of air pressure/spring rate. The net effect is that of having worn out shocks - the truck is simply under-damped. I recently replaced my rear air...

We all know these are heavy rigs. But just how heavy is a kitted out LR3? Well, on my way home from Shaver Lake this afternoon I decided to run mine over the scales and see. I had previously guessed she was 6000-6500 lbs. But first, some specs. The truck is an '07 LR3 HSE with pretty much every...
