Love it, it is heavy but it seems like nothing stops it, but in a way you have to be careful, 3-4 impacts and my lug nuts were all but at 100lbs

Default New shoes

Just got 5 of the continental terraincontact installed today, looks like they should preform pretty decent. Can't wait to try them out on a logging road on labor day.

I use the low torque setting on the base of the impact just to square the wheel up with the hub. I then bump it up to the normal setting and just 2 impacts and then drop to the ground to set the torque with a torque wrench.
Yes, it is a bolt breaker. Snaps those rusty D2 rear bumper bolts off with ease. Mine is a 1st gen Fuel with 750 ft lbs of removing torque, the latest have 1,100 ft lbs... amazing power from a battery powered tool.

Default Long day

Worked on the lr3 for 6ish hours today

i drained the transmission, removed the pan, pulled the valve body, replaced the solenoids, installed the new filter and pan, refilled the transmission, road tested, and it is shifting like a dream, before it felt like you would get rear ended coming to a stop, you could feel 3rd to 2nd and 2nd to 1st also had an issue a few times from 3rd to 4th and it would go into limp mode. Now it is awesome and shifting as it should. In a few weeks im going to be doing the diff oils, has anyone done the transfer case

Changed the spark plugs out on my wife's 06 HSE. I "was" planning on going with NGK's as that's what it came with off the factory floor, but they're not so easy to find 8 in-stock in my neck of the woods. I laughed when I noticed the LR3 took the same exact spark plug as my older D2's. I've had excellent results with Autolite XP Iridium plugs in my D2's so that's what I went with in the LR3. While I was at it I cleaned the throttle body plate and was happy to find it pretty clean. Also replaced the drivers side A Pillar Exterior trim that decided to explode going down the highway not to long ago.
