Catching up on my thread. It’s been a minute. Ended up doing the blackout on the hood of both my Rovers


Then I decided to try the plasti-dip and paint my wheels. I think it came out pretty good, Then I got a screw in my sidewall and the plasti-dip got screwed up when the tire shop replaced my wheel.




Found a deal on a frontrunner rack with an alu-cab awning I couldn’t pass up. I really wanted a pro-speed rack, but damn… shipping and the wait time.. I’m happy with where-she’s at now.




I cracked my rear sunroof glass trying to install the rack by myself . It doesn’t leak, so I’m gonna leave it for now and decide how I want to tackle that. Either get it replaced or replace it with a sheet of 3/16” aluminum and call it a day. Has anybody replaced that big glass with aluminum?

 

Been holding off on trying to fit a phone mount until I found something I liked. Found the "QuadLock" attachment that uses the RAM Mount. Have to buy their case to work with it. I like it! Check them out. Couldn't take a picture with the phone mounted....

 

any issues with rubbing? did you decide to adjust the ride height with the gap tool?

 

very minor rub at normal ride height at hard turn, on a curb, other than that no rub. I did raise it a little with the GAP tool and have no rubbing.

 

Any updates? I really like the lr3. I think it's on my short list for prospective project vehicles one day. Your lr3 is a exactly the look I would be after. I'm seeing a time in about 10 years when my oldest is going to be wanting my discovery 2 if I still have it.

Might be a good time in the next 2-3 years for me to squirrel away a decent lr3 or lr2 with some issues for later building.

 

Been a solid ride. I did have to replace my front drivers side wheel hub and the boots on that cv shaft. Took it out with the family 4 wheeling, did great, but noticed I had a noise from the front wheel sounded like the brake disk was rubbing the dust shield.




that screw was actually loose, so I replaced both rotors and pads buttoned everything up and still had the noise, uh oh. Jacked it back up and wiggled the wheel, damn… wheel hub. Ordered a Timken wheel hub and some new cv boots. Wasn’t too hard of a job.



Everything is running great. It’s been down for a month. Can’t believe how much we missed driving the LR3. I’m gonna have to get the roof glass replaced I think. I’m sitting at 247k miles now and she’s still as strong as ever. No lights. I’ll be taking her from Atlanta to Colorado next year to go hunting.

 

How is the sound volume level?
is it at full capacity as the radio or a cd?
