Yep I am not at all happy about it. First time in my life I've seen a sunroof glass explode for no good reason.

Ordered a replacement that will be here by Friday. Pretty sure my wife still wants it gone. So it might be in the For Sale Section soon.

Besides the sunroof, a stupid cruise control not permitted fault that comes & goes like once every 6 months (cruise still works), and the front struts finally dying it's been a very good family SUV, but it might be finding a new home soon. Brakes are excellent (cross drilled/slotted), RR 19's, 126K, Tonga Green, HD Package, updated NAV, and a new electric fan clutch.

Respooling the winch. WARN terminal failed under warranty (bad design on the V12s).

While its apart, going to upgrade the horn - really only one on LR3?

got to unexpectedly buy new tires yesterday...

first nice weather of the year finally came around this weekend, so 1st time driving with the windows down and I heard the dreaded "clack, clack, clack" and sure enough picked up a bolt on the very edge of the tire.

Took it to the tire shop, but knew already it wasn't repairable. And since the tires had ~1/3 tread left, couldn't get away with just 2 so said screw it.

Walmart came through searching online though. Got 4 of the same tire (Nokian Rotiiva AT in 265/60 R18) for $125 a pop. So not as bad as it should've been

Yeah, only one horn on LR3!! I got another from a salvage yard that had been on a very large PU, sounds so much better than the tinny thing that was there before, $10.

There are two horns, the one up front at center then the higher pitch/alarm one is sorta next to the coolant tank. I replaced the one up front with a PIAA 85115 Superior Bass Horn from Amazon. It took care of the annoying city car sound and has a much better truck note. I did not upgrade any fuses, relays, etc. Installed since August of last year.

Got back from a quick work trip and had a little garage time today. So I installed my sway bar link and got the left rear put back together except for the caliper. New one should hopefully be here tomorrow. Also finished out the fender liner on the front left wheel well from the trim.
