Off roading upgrades
A hidden winch looks nicer but I store my winch in the garage 95% of the time instead of carting an extra 100+ pounds around on a daily basis. -
Off roading upgrades
Here's my upgrades in order of importance to me 1. IID tool. Must have 2. 18" wheels with 31.5" tires 3. Custom built front hitch receiver for mounting removable winch. 4. Custom rear hitch receiver also for mounting winch to the rear and towing an off-road trailer, as the OEM one is too... -
Will it cause any issues in the LR3 if I coast in neutral gear for a long time?
The spark plugs still fire but with no fuel there is no detonation. While coasting in gear think of the engine like an air compressor, air still moves through the engine and is still being compressed, hence the term engine compression braking. So there still is some exhaust noise because the... -
Will it cause any issues in the LR3 if I coast in neutral gear for a long time?
If you don't believe my previous article, how about this one where they ask a engineer from Toyota. http://m.caranddriver.com/features/gas-pains-mileage-myths-and-misconceptions-when-coasting-to-a-stop-do-not-shift-into-neutral-page-3 -
Will it cause any issues in the LR3 if I coast in neutral gear for a long time?
Here is an article from popular mechanics also stating you use no fuel while coasting http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/hybrid-electric/a5977/coasting-in-neutral-fuel-economy/ Just because the engine is turning doesn't mean it is getting fuel. The computer controls the injectors, which... -
Will it cause any issues in the LR3 if I coast in neutral gear for a long time?
When in gear and going downhill and not pressing on the accelerator you use zero gas, as long as the engine rpm's are above the idle set point. With the use of computer controlled engines, injectors do not operate while coasting. If you put it neutral the engine has to idle causing you to use... -
Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels
A load range D is still more weight capacity than the original spec tires. I know there are situations where you can load a single tire significantly but those are brief moments. I'm just thinking that the narrower width would help in breaking trail through the snow and they are the original... -
Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels
The terra grapplers are ok. Not great in the snow. The 285s are too wide for the snow. The next set will probably be 265s. Has anybody tried the 255/70 duratracs or TA KO2 yet? They are 32.1" so a little modification mostly using IID tool to get rubbing out. -
Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels
I feel like there is a misconception on side wall height here. A 285/60 and a 265/65 are essentially the same diameter at 31.5". That means the sidewalls are the same thickness. The second number in tire sizes are a percentage of the width (the first number), so 60% of 285mm is 171mm sidewall... -
Non-LR4 Land Rover OEM wheel options
You can also find great deals on the 19" LR3 wheels that came on the HSE models. Most of us LR3 owners want the 18"s. -
Does the 2006 LR3 Navigation show altitude?
My '06 shows altitude in one of the off road navigation screens. It's not so useful to me here in CO since it only reads to 9900'. Most of our wheeling is above that. -
Lr3 2005
The instructions are in the owners manual. There is a small access panel you can pry out of the bottom of the right side "pencil holder" cubby you can then find the loop with a flashlight and a screwdriver. Slip the screwdriver through the loop and use it to pull the cable up to release the... -
5x120 Trailer Hubs! Where can I get them?
Yeah I knew about spacers/adapters but if I can get a trailer brake drum with the proper bolt pattern I would prefer to go that route. My plan is to go with a 3500lb torsion axle with 10" brakes. -
5x120 Trailer Hubs! Where can I get them?
I am building a trailer to tow behind the LR3 for camping. I have 7 wheels for the LR3 and want to be able to use them on the trailer as well. Does anybody out there know where I can get a trailer hub and drum brake assembly that has a 5x120 bolt pattern and our metric studs (14mm I think)? I... -
Radio randomly cutting out
I hope you guys can help with this. I have an 06 LR3 HSE and the radio keeps cutting out and displaying "Phone Removed" I don't have a phone connected at all either the cradle or bluetooth. In fact I have turned the bluetooth off via IIDTool and this still happens. Is there wan easy fix or... -
How big a tire will fit spare wheel well
I have the Nitto Terra Grapplers in a lt285/60R18 and it fits in the spare wheel well, but you have to completely deflate it for it to fit. So anything under 31.5" in diameter should work under there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Rear bumper height hitch receiver
As of now I haven't had the rear hitch tested to get a DOT class rating. What I have done is go four wheeling many times and used both front a rear receivers to mount a winch to. We have drug 18" diameter 40' tall trees through the snow to clear roads. We have pulled ourselves out of 18" of wet... -
The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread
According to Nitto's website you can't get Trail Grapplers in 275/65 or 285/60. The 285/65 is 32.83" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Rear bumper height hitch receiver
I could entertain that idea too. I don't have any great pictures of it pictures of it but I can get some soon. I had to cut a little bit of the plastic air ducting in front of the radiator and a bit out of the tow loop cover panel to get it to fit. I was however able to just bolt it on right... -
Rear bumper height hitch receiver
I can't give you exact numbers because the unit has not been tested officially. What I can tell you is from installing it it feels much sturdier than the OEM hitch. I would not hesitate of a second to haul a 7700 lb. trailer with it. I have put I hi-lift jack it to the receiver and jacked up... -
Rear bumper height hitch receiver
I know about the Mitch Hitch. From what I can tell they won't ship to the States. I am also thinking of a price of under $300 instead of $650 plus shipping if you can get them to ship it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Rear bumper height hitch receiver
I'm trying to see what the interest is. If there is enough people wanting it I could do like a group buy sort of thing. If there is a lot of interest I will get it tested for a weight rating, I would have to send five of them out to get destroyed for testing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Sorry to burst your bubble but it's Buckingham Blue. I have another thread in the LR3 section about the hitch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Rear bumper height hitch receiver
The receiver sticks out 4.75 in from the bumper. The receiver tube I used is rated at 5000 lbs but I think it could hold more. There is a similar unit in Australia that is rated at 3500 kgs (~7700 lbs). I used grade 8 5/8" bolts to mount it. There are three bolts, two on the bottom that go...
