I miss my F250 as well. And the dude that bought it wrecked it in less than a month.. You should never sell a pickup that is paid for.

BTW, welcome, and there is a link below to the whole set of shop manuals for the LR3 should you wish to DIY.

thanks for the link, since you owned a F250 as well the you know all to well how to fix things yourself. i have wrenched on everything for radio flyers to f-16's. so this LR3 is just going to something else to bust a knuckle on.

i got a good deal on this rover but it is close to needing new tires. what are you running?

Also the truck was payed off but needed work and i did not want to put any more money into it. Were you on any forums for the F250, like FTE?

I put nitto terra grapples in the stock 255/60r18 on mine. They've done great on the snow we just got. If you need tires, have the current ones worn evenly? If not you might need new lower control arm bushings. These cars are heavy and go through tires and brakes pretty quickly.

the tire wear is good all the way around, i think i am going to go with the Cooper ZEON LTZ 285/60R18. they seem to be a good tire from what i have seen on here and other boards.
