Episode 5: Highway / Land Rover LR3 / Air Vs. Coil Shoot-Out / Military Mobility 

Thank you kindly!

Thank you Paul!!! 🙌🇺🇸 You rock! 🤘

Glad we could be of service! Best of luck 👍

Thanks Joe, please let us know what you think about the other episodes as well!! 🙌🇺🇸

Get in the habit of pressing the DSC button when you start up the vehicle to turn that feature off and you won’t have the annoying auto-braking around turns. We adjusted our height calibration with the GAP tool and don’t have that problem anymore. We even had that problem with the coil conversion so it’s not the Johnson Rods causing it.

7A. We cover the suspension kit in a bit more detail in Episode 8. Thanks for your support and for checking us out!

It means so much to us that you enjoy the series, thank you for reaching out! Agreed, they are great vehicles for road trips, just love the commanding view and interior space. What engine do you have in your LR4? Diesel perhaps? …. Would love one of those!

@@MilitaryMobility I do have a 2016 LR4 with the Diesel engine (of course), this engine makes so much more sense here in Germany, and the mileage you get out of this heavy car is just excellent. I drive it on average at 23.5mpg (10l/100km) which is extremely efficient for a 2.8ton car. I had used a friends LR3 for some days back in 2012/13 in Nevada and I really loved this car so much, and finally found a great 2016 LR4 almost new one last year. Currently this LR4 is just a luxury last model "LANDMARK", equipped with absolutely everything - and all in stock conditions. But it's missing the rear diff locker. Next week it will be getting 18in rims, 265/65r18 wheels and XLifter. I didn't feel good about installing 32" tires, so decided to go for 31.5", even the spare tire should fit under the car (but almost deflated, but good to go as my daily driver). And honestly we do have to do some minor modifications to fit the larger tires, so not sure how you can use 32" completely unmodified. 😏

@@Dieter.Reuter Very nice! Score on the Landmark edition and all the mods. We’re able to run the 32” tires by using either the GAP programming tool or the Johnson Rods. The XLifter will do the same and is an awesome product. Best of luck with that rig! 🙌

Hello and glad you’re enjoying the series. The tires are P rating and equate to a 32” tire. We had the Johnson Rods on the air suspension rig as it’s an easy plug and play solution to allowing for the bigger tires, and I highly recommend them however we have since removed them and set a custom height with the GAP programming tool. No spacers on the coil LR3, just the OME 2” coils.

Hello Zman and thanks for reaching out! It means so much to us that people like yourself are enjoying the series; that’s what we’re after! 🙌 Yes our bars whistle a bit and on our grey one with the awning you hear the wind a bit more. One trick that helps reduce but not remove wind completely is to move the front crossbar back some, so the air over the windshield doesn’t hit it immediately. Those roof mounted lightbars folks have are loud for this reason. Which coil conversion did you go with? It’s nice for us to be able to have both. I will say our air has been giving is fits lately and I’ve been reliably using the coil until I get time to straighten things out. Something to be said for putting in the key and just driving! …. But the features on the air are so nice… hahaha!!

@@MilitaryMobility I have the Atlantic British 2" HD springs. I would like a bit more lift/stiffness in the rear coils because when I'm loaded it will sometimes rub the tires going over dips on the freeway. Took it to Santa Cruz CA last summer and up through San Francisco then home to Utah on I80. The freeway going through Sacramento to Santa Jose, not good loaded with springs. I'll move the front cross bar back. 👍🏻

Bwahahaha!!! 😂😆🤣

@@MilitaryMobility That’s cold, Dude! Maybe I’ll just show the LR3 Shoot-Out for Anthropology tomorrow
