I will look into it. My LR3 has a solid 160,000+ miles on it so I am not too sure it will be worth the $400+ that the IIDTool is right now. However in a few years when I graduate and have some more money to spend I will for sure look into it as the car becomes even more so a toy to me.

All that being said, what are the perks to the IIDTool?

And at TRIARII: She's looking good haha. The engine was not touched, the insurance just didm not want to pay for all the damage, which supposedly was actually in the $10,000.

The main perks are flexibility with when you want to be taller/stock and the ability to diagnose issues and clear faults. Consider that you'd be buying an IIDTool but NOT rods and the effective cost is more like $300.

If you ever have to replace a height sensor, for instance, you can calibrate with the IIDTool. That pays for it right there!

I have tried hard to find a matching rim in order to run a full size spare, but it is damn near impossible to find. So I started searching for a set of five and that appears to be no easier and certainly not a cost effective solution (unless I leave winters on these and summers on my set of five, but where I live it's six months to a season if we are lucky, lol).

Again Spiderman, your car looks great. Makes me excited to get my tires tomorrow. And that's a shame they are so hard to find because they look great, possibly my favorite LR3 rims.

To all: I just finished installing the lift this morning before it was completely light outside, haha. Early Christmas morning.

I will be getting my tires tomorrow and will more then likely not be plasti dipping my rims during the break, mainly because I do not have the times.

Anyways here are the pictures.

It was really easy and cost me less than $15. Do a search for led driving lights lr3 and you should get a link to the install that's on disco3.uk I piggybacked the power from my engine fuse box.

Final additions: Got my 275/65r18 Nitto Teera grapplers and I love them. Took them off road around my neighborhood wooded area at Chastain Park. Took it to a car wash and cleaned em off again tire shine and everything. Ended up plasti dipping them anyways. I think it looks absolutely sick. I love it
