siltana - 2005 HSE LR3

Owned this guy for 9 years now and have used you all for info, tips, tricks, laughs, and direction. Needed to say thanks, figured it was time to whip mine out.

2005 LR3 HSE HD Package 159,000miles
Bought early 2006 off 2 year lease with 30,000 miles
Been to Moab (9hours), Joshua Tree (2hours), and Death Valley (3hours) every year I've owned. Canyonlands, Shafer trail, Grand Staircase, Death Valley, Joshua Tree, etc. Nothing crazy but several scrapes, dings, and pulled moldings that I've earned. Waxed three times a year, every year. Clay bar once a year. Still looks awesome!

Mods
*all done myself
Modified factory roof rack
Protection bar
Light guards
Black LR ovals, front-back-door panels-steering wheel
Powder coated factory rims
Rear ladder
Vinyl wrap on hood & headlamps
Painted badges matte black
Side molding
Replaced LR3 w/Discovery 3 Badges
Proud Rhino lift rods
PlastiDip roof (around sunroof)
Removed turtle looking resonator (sounds nice!!)

Fixes and Frustrations
*most done myself with this forums help
Trailer wiring
Sunroof tubes, gutter, clean and repeat
Carpet removal, drying, wire repair - repeat every year for first 5 years
Sealed the sunroof with black silicone
Lower passenger door molding install over and over again
Front struts
Rotors & Brakes (2nd set of rotors and 3rd set of brakes so far, including original)
Suspension compressor
Brake Switch
Rear drive shaft
Fluids - Oil, transfer case, diff's
Steering coupler (scary removing that airbag)
Lower control arms
Lower control arms
Lower control arms (yes, three times. stealer paid twice)
Front wheel bearings
Front seat removal, clean all connectors- airbag light
Battery (on my 3rd, second Odyssey)
Tires - Still have the 19's (3 sets- originals, MTR's, now Pirelli Scorpions)

Over the past 9+ years I'm sure I've forgotten or blocked some out of memory. Been a joy and a pain and I have no plans of letting go any time soon.

Thanks for all the help over the years, really couldn't have done any of this without everything you all post and update.

Thanks, normally tired with a vehicle after a couple years, this has been more like a fun, sometimes abusive, relationship.
Now Embarassed the horse head, that came up in my Amazon suggestions, and I'm that much of an idiot to buy it. Not sure what I was buying at the time for them to make that recommendation.
