    Hydraulic Jack Suggestions

    Been looking myself for the last few days or so and for the exact same reason (rotating tires) and came across a couple of threads but yeah, no clear winner. So I was about to bring life to an older thread and saw this. Damn! Maxing out 3-ton ones? I am trying to keep it under 50 to 60 pounds...

    Haha. You see, I knew there was a catch somewhere in there. Thank you, mbw :)

    Jerry Cans and Holders

    Got my 4-gallon rotopax last week, with a 2-gallon water container (white). Gotta say, guys, holding the cans in hand looking at them in the flesh, I mean, damn, very well built. I could not push the plastic inward at any area of the cans including the center, supposedly the weakest part...

    Parts of this terrain with our stock rubber

    Ha, indeed. The portion of the trail at around 0:20 - 0:21 in the video caught my attention, medium closeup of the right side rear wheel. Those rocks seem sharp.

    Parts of this terrain with our stock rubber

    Curious, who among us here would feel comfortable enough braving the shown sharp rocky paths in this video with the stock contis, or other all-seasons for that matter, in stock size? If not, what in your opinions would be the bare minimum type of tire needed here to make it thru without...

    Making a case for the D5

    I agree with you, Hayseed, in that at the heart of it its really a matter of trade-offs, personal needs, taste, and what changes/revisions one does or does not perceive as advancements. These are just my personal opinions and thoughts as far as comparing a redesign (which supposedly LR is...

    Making a case for the D5

    And as for a faithful and an original design job, this is nearly a fourteen years old design: I mean, really, come on, need I say more :) Even today, an LR3 still carries such a presence and graceful personality on the tarmac every time I spot one. Willing to bet anything, that this design...

    Making a case for the D5

    I think I may have miscommunicated things here. I am not saying that D5 does not have any advancements. As with any newer model from any car maker, there would obviously be revisions and advancements in the newer models, a natural process. TR2 in D5 is clearly superior to TR1 in 3/4. Bigger...

    Making a case for the D5

    LR3/4 was simply a marvel of engineering, design, and function all coming together in the form of one of the most unique automotive packages on the planet. With 3/4, LR had created a unique SUV that had the Lexus/BMW like comfort levels and functionalities to satisfy soccer moms as well as the...

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    Ha. Apologies. Work and errands, etc have been eating up some time but I'll post soon. Or maybe I am just letting the anticipation and tension build a little, the hollywood way :)

    Is it ok to start towing with 100,000 miles on the engine?

    Very informative post, maxx, at least for someone like me who is totally green as far as towing experience. Thanks. I thought I read somewhere though (maybe the handbook) that we are not supposed to use any anti-sway hitch or mechanism, etc. If true, I am guessing its for the LR3/4 anti-sway...

    Is it ok to start towing with 100,000 miles on the engine?

    Damnit! That interior looks awesome. Makes me want to go make more money so I could buy a nice big house so I could then buy something like this with having a place to park it :)

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    Also, after much research, I have just installed the Contis TerrainContacts yesterday for my light off roading/trail/dirt/gravel road, etc needs. Stuck to the stock 255/55/19. I know some of us here, including me, have been waiting for the reviews of this tire with our LR3/4 to come in for...

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    So I have got about three months and 2k miles on my WRG3 SUV and want to write my observations here in detail so others in the market for something like this could benefit. Since its a bit of a unique tire in nature in that its really a high speed rated, high performance winter tire but still...

    New to me... is this normal?

    Sounds pretty normal, I have that too. I remember same characteristic in my 13 and now in 16 as well. More so in 16. I am pretty sure its the sound of the radiator fan running, as I have usually noticed that sound during summer/warm days and/or when the truck is parked idling (regardless of...

    4-Wheel Alignment

    Any harm in getting LR3/4 alignment done at a local tire shop vs the stealerships? Also, when I first got my LR3 back in '06, I remember there was revised set of alignment specs issued by LR due to people complaining about rear (or maybe fronts too) wearing out too soon on the inside edges due...

    Sell a 2010 and buy a 2013?

    Ha. And its the kind of devil that you not only know but love so much that you are willing to shell another 22k for putting up with it for a much longer time :) I get you and know the feeling :)

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    I think its important to break the new tires in properly for the maximum performance out of them that they really were designed for. I myself just got a new set installed and am noticing and could already tell the slight difference in their behavior/performance after only about 150 miles on...

    Any idea who makes the OEM Windshield sunshade?

    Hi Jessica, Thank you very much for connecting here and allowing me the opportunity to assist Covercraft, and apologies for the delayed response. Would love to chat with Mr. Reeder and will contact him next week. Thanks and have a great weekend.
