Default Newb LR3 Owner as of Friday (1/29/10)

After spending some time here reading your forums prior to making my purchase of a 2006 LR3 SE w/V8. The only option that I know I don't have are the Navigation. I'm still not sure if I have the e-locker or not. I'll have to crawl under her soon and look for the solenoid or whatever on top of the diff housing to determine that. Unfortunately, I didn't read enough forum threads to find out about that option prior to buying her. I think it may as the next morning here in Chesapeake, VA we had about four inches of snow on the roads for me to test her out in. The vehicle handled like a dream, but I doubt I'm that lucky. It does look to have a full size spare though from my quick inspection at the dealership.

This is the second 4x4 I've owned. My first was a 94 Toyota 4Runner when I lived in Utah. The LR3 handled much better in the snow than that 4Runner ever did.

I found my LR3 at CARMAX, it was a prior fleet vehicle on Long Island, NY so I doubt it was abused very much. The body and interior are in excellent condition. The cargo net was still in the heat sealed bag, un-opened when I picked her up at the dealership.

Right now the only ideas I have to upgrade is the Tube brush guard and eventually find some LR 19" rims on ebay and some MT/R rubber.

I just wanted to say; thanks to everyone who contributes here and provides such useful info for us all. Hopefully, I will be of help to someone in the future too.

D16,
"OUT"
