Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels
Ive got an ‘06 LR3, live in Utah and can tell you what has worked very well for me. I’m on my second set of Cooper S/T Maxx tires in 265/70r18. I was going for max diameter without having to run the CYA kit. The only thing I don’t love about them is they are E rated, which is way overkill, but I... -

2005 LR3 suspension issue
Try jacking up the vehicle off the bump stops and see if it will pump up for you. Last time mine dropped I had to do that to get it to raise. I had different codes than you mention, but it’s definitely cheap, easy and a common issue. You won’t be able to calibrate until you’re sitting at normal... -

Bumper Mount Spare Tire Carrier
The short answer is no, if that’s what you are looking for you buy the $1500 version. This is definitely for the budget build crowd and probably not well suited for the D4 guys, but I offer it up here because it would work. I modified an existing carrier to fit my Land Rover, so it kind of is... -

Bumper Mount Spare Tire Carrier
I just finished making a bumper mount full size spare tire carrier, I'm checking to see if anyone may be interested in purchasing one? It's not quite as polished as the commercially available ones, but it would be around 1/3 the price! I'll probably make another and throw it up on eBay, but... -

HD package retrofit
Why not just go the ARB route? No question on whether works and you’ve got control over it rather than relying on the traction control to run it. -

Perfect platform mattress
I was going to ask how you liked the height after seeing the first picture, but I see now you are going to lower it. Why do you say it’s too high? I have the REI version of the exped megamat duo, but it’s too wide to go in between the rear trim. I was going to make it flush, pretty much mattress... -

2013 LR4 Suspension Compressor
I didn’t realize shena****ns was a word that needed to be bl*cked out, but apparently it was done for me! -

2013 LR4 Suspension Compressor
Typical dealership shena****ns, doesn’t matter what brand it is. A quality independent is always the way to go. -

2013 LR4 Suspension Compressor
I went through 2 aftermarket Hitachi style units from a reputable Land Rover specific parts house in less than a year in my LR3. They wouldn’t warranty the second one (even though it had a lifetime warranty) because they said I had an underlying issue (I didn’t). I bought a used OE AMK unit off... -

Unexpected LR4 project
To be fair, he bought a vehicle that was in a wreck. That’s as “as-is” as you can get. I’ve worked on enough to know this type of damage is very common in those situations and I highly doubt the seller was aware. -

1996 Discovery alarm
A ‘96 Disco came up in the local classifieds: “Not running due to alarm box getting water infiltration. Ran fine until then. Bought a refurbished alarm box But don't know how to program it to the ECU.” They’re asking $600. I’ve owned a few D2s, but never a D1. What would it take to program...
