    Bigger tires on an LR3.

    I'm putting some bigger tires on an LR3 and I think that harness in the left front wheel well is going to get destroyed if the tire contacts that area when turning right. Anybody deal with this before? Thinking about peeling the inner fender liner out and finding it a home up there.

    I’m working on a 4.0 6 cylinder in a LR3. I’m always surprised when I open the hood and see that little rascal in there. Now that I need to fix one I realize how little we all know about this engine. There’s all kinds of conflicting info out there, and confusion about the actual variant this...

    So I went trolling today.

    I kinda went trolling today. Maybe semi retired will become retired retired. You guys taught me well, thank you. I believe my relationship with technical assistance might be damaged. One of those guys for sure will not be having me over any longer.

    Trying to figure out this Facebook thing

    So I get a Facebook page. Cause everybody says you gotta be on it if you’re in business. So post on this P38 page. Cause I’m a huge fan of the LP Range. Here’s how that went. I’m kinda glad.
