Expert Answers about Land Rover LR3

Which Wheel of a 2006 Land Rover LR3 Should have Tire Chains Installed
For an all wheel drive vehicle like your 2006 Land Rover LR3 you will want to put tire chains (if only using one set) on the main drive wheels. Which in your case would be the rear axle. Ideally you would want to put the chains on all four wheels for max traction, but for one axle the main one is the one to be used. For both tire sizes we have for your vehicle (255/55-19 and 255/60-18) the Easy Fit Thule Chains part # TH04115265 that you referenced have been confirmed as a fit. You'll...

Will the 7-Way to 5-Way and 4-Way Adapter Work on a 2005 Land Rover LR3
Yes, the 7-way to 5-way and 4-way Adapter, # C35FR, will work with your 2005 Land Rover LR3 as long as your factory 7-way trailer connector. This adapter was originally designed for certain European vehicles with incandescent tail lights and factory trailer wiring that have bulb out sensors to let you know if one of your tail light bulbs are burned out. On some European vehicles, the bulb out sensor runs through the factory trailer wiring as well. Since LEDs on trailers use only a fraction...

Ground Clearance Difference Between 2015 Jeep Cherokee Latitude And Trailhawk
I did some research on the 2015 Jeep Cherokee Latitude And Trailhawk with the same engine. From what I was able to find the Latitude is 5 ft 5.7 inches from the top of the roof to the ground and the Trailhawk is 5 ft 7.8 inches. This is assuming the same size tires, wheels, and suspension are being used on the vehicle. A difference in any of those components would certainly make a difference in the bumper height. The Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C13172 is a fit for both models. This is...

How to Carry SUP and SkyBox 21 on Roof of 2006 Land Rover LR3
Could you let me know if your Land Rover LR3 has factory installed tracks that run from the front to back or if the OEM roof rack is more of a raised type?

If you could send me some pictures of your roof rack system that would help me know what you have.

Can the Curt Class III Hitch be Used on a 2008 Landrover LR3 and Carry a Thule 4 Bike Rack
Yes, you can use the Curt Class III trailer hitch, # 13456, on your 2008 Land Rover LR3. Installation of this hitch does not require any drilling and is very straight forward, see instructions link. The Thule 4 bike racks will work with this hitch. If you want an economical version you can go with the Thule Camber 4 Bike Rack, # TH9056.

Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 2006 Land Rover LR3 HSE and 5,000 Pound Trailer
In order to find the correct weight distribution system, you will need to know: 1) the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow and then add 2) the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. Once you add these together to get the total tongue weight, you will want a system that has a tongue weight capacity range that puts your total tongue weight in the middle. So for a 600 to 1,200 pound system, a tongue weight of 900 pounds would be ideal. If...

Using Weight Distribution Shanks in Rise or Drop Orientation
There are a few shanks that are specifically designed to be used in the rise or drop position only, but it will be clearly stated in the product description. The vast majority of the weight distribution shanks, like the # RP54970 you mentioned can be used in either the rise or drop orientation. The procedure for determining the necessary rise or drop needed is much like that used for a ballmount, see the linked FAQ article.

Universal Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2006 Land Rover LR3
For your 2006 Land Rover LR3 I recommend the K-Source towing mirror set # KS3990. These mirrors will fit around factory side mirrors that have a lip or gap between the glass and mirror housing. I checked some images of your make and model vehicle and it does have the compatible type of side mirrors from what I could see. I have included a link to a video review of these mirrors for you.

Is a Converter Box Required on a 2006 Land Rover LR3
There are two reasons you need to use a wiring harness with a powered converter box on your 2006 Land Rover LR3 which are power and configuration. The electrical circuit on your LR3 is not equipped to handle the additional power draw the trailer lights will have on the system which will cause the fuses to blow. The powered converter box draws power from the battery for the trailer lights which eliminates power draw on the vehicle's electrical circuits. The other reason is that your LR3...

Platform Bike Rack For Fat Bikes For 2006 Land Rover LR3
The Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22G measures 10-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin to the nearest part of the carrier when down, and 7 inches from the center of the hitch pin to the nearest part of the carrier when folded. If your 2006 Land Rover LR3 has 7 inches of clearance, the Kuat NV 2.0 would not fit well on your vehicle in the folded position. The tire adapters for the Kuat NV 2 are part # APBK. With these adapters, the NV 2 can hold a bike with tires up to 4-1/4 inches wide. This...

Recommended Yakima Roof Rack for 2007 Land Rover LR3 with Factory Track System
The Thule Fit Kit # THKIT3112 is the confirmed fit for your 2007 Land Rover LR3. Since they do not fit in the way you desire, I recommend the Yakima Landing Pad 4 for Yakima Control Towers - Qty 2 # Y00224 ( you will need 2 kits), the Skyline towers # Y53TR and the Jetstream Crossbars # Y00425. I also recommend the locks to secure your roof rack # Y07204. This system will mount differently into your factory rails for a confirmed fit.

Does the Install of Curt Hitch 13456 on a 2006 Land Rover LR3 Require Spare Tire Removal
Curt states that a full-sized spare will not fit on your 200 Land Rover LR3 with their hitch part # 13456 installed at the same time. You might consider tracking down a smaller spare so that you can still have a spare with this hitch installed. We had the chance to install this hitch on a 2006 Land Rover LR3 just like yours. Check out the video I attached that will walk you through the install. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900....

Will the Viking Solutions Rack Jack Magnum Hoist Work To Lift Boat On Roof
I do have an option for you but the Viking Solutions Rack Jack Magnum Hoist part # 310-VMH001 won't work for lifting items on a roof, the boom is not long enough to reach this high. I would instead recommend some sort of pulley system like Thule MultiLift Cargo Lift and Storage System part # TH572.

Brake Controller Recommendation For 2005 Land Rover LR3
It is a good idea to install a brake controller on your 2005 Land Rover LR3 when towing your camper. With a brake controller installed, it can eliminate the push-pull action you can experience when towing a trailer or camper. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, part # 90885. This is a proportional controller that activates the brakes on your camper in direct proportion to the braking action of your LR3. This results in less wear and tear on both your LR3 and the camper...
