    anyone have a review on a hilift jack?

    I'm talking about using it as a Jack. You open a whole separate range of safety observances when using it as a winch, but in general, people seem more alert at such times. The key to safe HiLift operation can be summarized as follows: 1. Set base of jack a bit closer to the vehicle, so that...

    anyone have a review on a hilift jack?

    HiLifts are tools that have many great uses and offer bulletproof simplicity. The basic design has been around over 40 years. Sadly, their weaknesses have not been improved on much either. First, they work best with RS sliders with the www.WabFab.com slider attachment: Second, they are...

    My New (OLD) LR3

    They are the same part.....probably just an excuse given because they screwed up the bushings on the first install.

    Check engine light help!!!

    I don't think 93 octane gas is the cause of a CEL. There is an outside chance it could be the O2 (oxygen) sensors. There are 4 of them, 2 on the headers, and 2 towards the rear of the exhaust system. If the PO used bad gas, there could be carbon build up on the sensors. Also, if you are...

    Yeap, 9/30/2006 - last year it was open I think.

    Roof Rack for camping gear

    Man, those guys are so reasonable! It was cool meeting them at ExPo last year. You going again Adam? I'm grounded this year, but next year I hope!

    which rod?

    Yes it absolutely did. It changed my life more than marriage did! We have completely changed our activities now thanks to the LR3 and my involvement with a club like SCLR. Going out with a group opened the door to locales and experiences that I simply would not have done on my own. It...

    Roof Rack for camping gear

    Not sure if JWest's was like mine, as mine was the very first LR3 specific Hannibal rack in the country. They included a large box of all stainless steel hardware. It was really nice stuff...if you are building a gate for your fence. It was very fussy to install, with dozens of bolts, and...

    which rod?

    Cheers, I certainly did not take any offense to anything you said. It's not like you were taunting my Manly LR3 about it's not being able to rise to the occassion. :-)

    which rod?

    I have OFTEN wondered! Disco Mike, thanks for the bump, but when it comes to rod mods, I tend not to offer any advice, for two reasons: No personal experience as my LR3 did not have adjustable suspension, and for the other reason, I think it introduces a vulnerability to the front CV joints...

    Roof Rack for camping gear

    No...mine were large black steel M12 bolts if I recall. However, my truck was a pre-production model (for NAS anyway). It could have been different from the normal LR3's, but I tend to doubt it.

    Roof Rack for camping gear

    I kinda agree about the battery, but I didn't have a winch or a fridge in my LR3, and with the HID upgrade, I really wasn't running any heavy electrical loads. Never had a battery problem. Thanks for the compliment on the family photos. Coming from a pro such as yourself, I genuinally...

    Roof Rack for camping gear

    I had the Hannibal 3/4 rack, made specifically for the LR3. It's an awesome rack, but pricey. For a while, Hannibal bailed on the USA market, but they are back again so hopefully they are back in the pipeline. Mine was the first in the country and cost nearly as much to ship as it did to...

    A/C Compressor Noise

    Could it be the damper or butterfly valves within the ductwork? Mine were pretty noisy when they got dusty. Hard to access (take apart glove box area dash), but easy to fix with some lithium spray grease.

    Ah. Good eye. Just a rough clone then. Looks like they project out more than RS sliders also.

    Looks like a few sets of Rover Specialties rock sliders have made it over there!

    Pillowtrack Self Recovery Tracks

    Actually, as a TreadTrainer, we were taught about situations like this. Now depicted speed and "soil displacement" is perhaps not a stiriling example, but what is good is that he is driving through the center of the puddle and not wideing the track as you can see other have done in the photo...

    oem fuel fuel tank replacement?

    I wish that were true in my case! My second tank did not "pop out", even when charged with compressed air. What are your sources of LR3 tank skids? I sm aware of High Country 4x4's version, but haven't seen any others...yet :-)

    oem fuel fuel tank replacement?

    The gas tanks are high strength polyethelene and are VERY difficult to puncture. However, the flimsy "shield" underneath it is VERY easy to bend, tear, deform, etc... The "shield" is actually the tray that holds up the tank, so you do need it. A new "shield" is around $400 from the dealer...

    Overland Journal did a pretty good test on a number of similar products like that in the Winter 2009 issue. They published a great little video of it here: YouTube- Overland Journal: Sand Ladder Test

    what are some good off road accessory websites?

    LOL, unless you are talking about the driver, it sounds like you have the front end clunk. This is typically related to front lower a-arm bushings, and typically requires a dealer fix. If you are not under warranty there are a few other options, but dealer is easiest for this one. Yes...
