Looks good Sjung!


Just had to comment on how sketchy that looks to have a vehicle supported in the air by 4 lift jacks at the same time.

You should be fine on rubs. I run 285/50r20 (32") on road and 265/70/18 (32.6") off-road. I'd invest the money to buy the IID tool. L8 can give you a solid deal ($500 BT shipped).

Even on 2.5" lift, you are always (and will always be) limited by the bags themselves. You can use EAS reflash or IID or whatever to raise the suspension, but there's always a max cap. (Example: Raise 50mm without rods, raise 10mm with)

I know. Classic Los Angeles Koreatown style.

I never thought about actually getting the IID but maybe I should... Thanks for the recommendation!

I recommend the IIDTool. Not just for the EAS lift option...it's invaluable.

Default afraid it was just three jacks

Actually four is a relief to me; I first thought at the rear it was just one trolley jack and it was centered on the rear differential.

That to me could seem like a very expensive lift point.

Default LR4 heated steering wheel?

Am I to presume that you just took any old LR4 steering wheel and it fit mechanically and more surprisingly, electronically on your LR3?

I guess I am wondering what year your LR3 was, (mine is 2005), and did your 3 already have a heated steering wheel?

Also it would appear the the phone buttons and whatever else just connected automatically without any software changes?

This would be a miracle.

At time, I have problems with my cruise control rocker switches so a totally new steering wheel with I presume updated buttons might be the solution.

Putting an LR4 wheel on, I never thought of - just assumed it would be electronically impossible or too difficult.

Oh man. I want to see those details on the LR4 steering wheel as well.

As far as what I did to my LR3 today... I kicked it right in the damn tire because I found out that I'm leaking fluid from the front output seal of my transfer case. &$(#@&!
