First Jeep copies LR and now Ford too.
Well, I don't know about the net profit, if any. I seem to recall that Jag was losing about $200M every year, whereas LR was highly profitable in 2005 up until it sold. Ford has a marketing site with those stats available on it, but I'm taping this on my phone and dont feel like wading through... -
New HVAC problem - erratic behavior
Sounds like a bad interior temperature sensor. Probably a cheap fix....if you do it yourself :-) -
Parking lot protection
Yes, they are just adhesively mounted. It's strong glue, but its only glue -

Swing away rear tire prototype pics
I can't find a good online photo of what I am thinking of. Hanson had one but I can't find a photo of it. However, I did come across an old thread of mine that I posted about a really nice ARB rear bumper for the Jeep TJ. I love the way it operates... -

Good thing those slipflops you are wearing didn't let go :-) -
Swing away rear tire prototype pics
What size tire is that? Doesn't seem to clear the rear tail light by much... How many turns on the threaded handle does it take to release the carrier? Can't really tell in the video. Would you consider a spring loaded, 90 degree turn release? I really like the shape of the arm, it seems to... -
The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread
Nice Paul! On an unrelated note, how's that CB antenna location work for you? I had the same sort of set up, and it was blind to any signal coming in front of me. Proper antenna location needs a base plane like the roof or hood to work well. it's difficult to get a good setup on the LR3... -

Cool photo Adam!...but, don't you also have a software lift? -
06 LR3 Tire Rotation, Alignment Necessary?
Alignment is needed because it is an LR3. The bushings used in the suspension system wear very quickly, causing misalignment and excessive tire wear. If you are running stock goodyear wrangler HP's and have gotten 45k miles, you are something of a miracle! But yes, you are due for an... -
Rear Locker
Mike, all LR3's have a locking center diff and transfer case. But you are correct about the full size spare tire, that is the easiest way to determine that you MIGHT have the locking rear diff, because the full size spare came as part of the HD (Heavy duty) package. If you look above the rear... -
Swing away rear tire prototype pics
In the second photo (on the grassy knoll), you can see a secondary washer plate that I presume to go on the inside of the steel bumper frame. I would suggest perhaps a rectangular plate that distributes load a little more on either side of the mounting point, but the idea is sound, and is... -

Swing away rear tire prototype pics
Cool! but that is not quite what I meant. I have seen one tire carrier that had enough flex in it when vibrating under washboard like conditions that the tire rubbed against the hatch. I am confident that the limit stops in the normal open/close mechanism would have sufficient standoff... -
Swing away rear tire prototype pics
Yeah, I see it in the photos. I just think you underestimate the force a 32" tire will put on it when driven over washboard roads. EVERYTHING shakes on washboard, and without a second anchor point, I think your tire carrier will oscillate to the point where it might hit the sheet metal of the... -

I think you are going to need a latch on the inboard side to prevent vibration. Otherwise, looks promising! -
What have you had break on the trail??
Fixed it for you, and yes, it's been done: http://nwoods.smugmug.com/Land-Rover/Off-Roading/Moab-LR-National-Rally-Day-5/ -
2010 Land Rover National Rally in Moab - what LR3 owners need to know
Well, the biggest event in the States is MAR, which is typically twice the size of Solihul's National Rally. MAR was last month I think. I will say though, that every year people from the East Coast head over to Moab, and without exception, every single one says it was well worth the trek... -
Taking bets?
Holy crap, $5100 for a warranty? Twist: be careful about the original warranty, it goes from date in service, not just mileage.... -
New to Land Rover Questions
I don't have any first hand knowledge of trails in your area, however, there seems to be a fairly active community of members from that area in the regional sub-forum on www.expeditionportal.com/forum Also, should check with local LR clubs and maybe even the LR dealerships (they gotta run... -
New to Land Rover Questions
There are three options I think. Normal Halogens, fixed Xeons, and bi-directional xeons. I'm not 100% positive, but I think the bi-directional xeon's are only avail on the HSE model. I had the stock Halogens, and then upgraded to an aftermarket H7 HID bulb kit with ballasts. Best upgrade I... -
Rear Locker worth it?
Yes. Its phenomenal. I have a lifted Jeep Rubicon (LJ) on 35's and run some pretty decent trails with it, so I have good understanding of how to compare the LR3 to a traditional rig with lockers. Lockers are better, but the TC on the LR3 is amazing. You will never fail an obstacle in the... -
What have you had break on the trail??
I never had a failure on the trail, but I have had failures related to abuse caused by certain trails, or bad driving, or both. 1. Broken/dislodged fuel pump inside the gas tank, on a rock 2. Crushed exhaust pipes at rear diff on a rock 3. Peeled off my front factory stock skid plate on a...
