    LR3 Ownership Update - Three Months: Problems ==> Solutions

    Problem: A/T still suck in mud, 18s with Terra Grapplers turn into slicks on the terrain that I'll be exploring most often. Solution: Ordered five LR3 17s from Lucky8 and five Goodyear 32x10.5x17 MTRs to fit them. Result - turn the 18s into street with all seasons, throw on the 17s for the...

    LR3 Maintenance - Throttle Body and MAF Cleaning - Story and 'How To' Video

    I have been having a blast with the new to me 2006 LR3 I picked up from Dale back in April. A lot of off road driving, on road driving, enjoying a beautiful rig. Lastly, this is a truck I can justify working on, turning a wrench and finding ways to make something drive better serves as a...

    Now that I own one of these toys I'm fully committed (Dale, thank you again for a seriously awesome rig - if you are in the market for any LR check out the RVR Barn) and I'm nearing end of tread life on the current set of tires.

    First Day of LR3 Ownership - Perfect Vehicle - Right Until It's Not

    LR3 HD Search - Massive Frustrations - Please Help! I Have Questions on Options

    I've searched for an LR3 with HD package since late September to no avail. My patience with used car lots telling me yes it has it, only to arrive and find it doesn't is shot to ****. My local LR store's patience with running VIN numbers for me is also shot to ****. If I buy an ECU and...

    The powerplant and drivetrain are perfect for overlanding, the 2012 remodel dropped about 800# off the previous TDI curb weight, but it seems like two years later nobody has made anything for it yet. Please help. I'm about ready to give up and sell it. Does anyone know of lift kits, air...
