7100 lbs. jesus christmas. thats a lotta LB's. dude, congrats. I know you were shopping the d2's for a while, how much lift do you get for $150? I like the headlights a lot because they're still like the dII's, dont think im hating becasue im not. But i think those trucks are so damn ugly. But if anybody can make it look sick though it's you. stop by and visit us every once in a while over here in the d1 section. Congrats and best of luck hombre.

Did you get extensions for the air suspension sensors? Is that the lift you got?

Yep, thats them, from what I could find it was one of the only/best options. You can buy airbag spacers but I heard they cause damage in the front.

Pretty damn plush, but I would have to at least test drive the Porsche Cayenne and the H2 and H3 to see which one I really wanted.

That Porsche would be mighty tempting as well.

Let us know how good the LR3 really is after you have owned it for 90 days or so.

Good Luck Bubba

A PORSCHE? A HUMMER? You deserve an instant ban.

I have a good feeling about this one.

We've got a H2, it's a sexy beast. But maybe that's my macho man talking after driving it hahaha seriously you feel like you can eat all the other tiny cars. Don't get a H3, aka pansy hummers..

My 928 was a blast to drive, I would at least give the Porsche a weekend long test drive since the prices were close.

I bett the Porsche is much better engineered than any LR product ever was. Hard to beat true German design and manufacturing capabilities...

I would even venture to bet that they have less quirks than our beloved and sometimes hated Gland Drovers typically exhibit.

Do you plan to off-road the LR3?
