    UltraFlex4x4 LED Headlights

    Has anyone purchased from UltraFlex4x4? I've tried to contact them regarding their LED headlight conversion kit, but I'm not able to reach anyone from the company. Also, does anyone have experience with their LED headlights? I'm considering them for my D1. Cheers, Casey

    Radio removal

    Previous owner has a kenwood radio installed in the 98 D1, and I’m wanting to remove it so that I can have access to wires behind it. I’ve gotten as far as the attached photo indicates. The remainder does not appear to “pop-out,” and the two screws below it appear inconsequential to its...

    New tires on my LR4

    I run 265/70r18 Falken Wildpeak tires on my LR3. Load Range E. I use a 30mm wheel spacer. I’m not certain that wheel spacers are necessary. I also chopped my front frame horns, so no rubbing there. The tires have worked well for me. I air down to 20psi (in my LR3) regularly while...

    Rain gutter trim

    Remove them, then paint the metal rail black. This is what I did on my D1 and it looks great. Plus, you won’t need to worry about rust developing under the rail trim.

    LR3/LR4 Front Runner Slimline Rack

    Attached are photos of the rack. It had not been cleaned/washed, so there are bugs/dirt on it. What can I say… I live in the desert and 4wheel a lot : )

    Independent LR Shop in Salt Lake City area?

    Will be moving to the greater Salt Lake City area in a month. Can anyone recommend a quality independent Land Rover mechanic (for a D1 and LR3) in Northern Utah? Note: I do not want to take my vehicles to GBR. Thanks!

    Hose Identification

    Heading to the LR National Rally and one of the hoses (transmission cooling?) in my 2007 LR3 (150,000 miles) has begun weeping. It’s pictured below the engine oil dipstick and is slightly illuminated by my flashlight. Can anyone definitively identify the hose for me? If you happen to have a...

    Vinyl hose for coolant drain?

    Greetings folks, I'm getting ready to flush my cooling system, and I have heard that, instead of pulling the lower radiator hose, vinyl tubing can be inserted down the upper radiator plug hole and then the other end of the vinyl tubing can be sucked-on until the coolant begins to flow. Of...
