    I crawled around in the dirt yesterday and changed the engine oil and the oil in both diffs (non-locking rear). The oil that came out of the diffs was very thin and black, and there was a good clump of fine metal shavings on each of the magnetic drain plugs. No flakes or other debris, though, just very fine stuff. I'm not sure what the usual interval is, but I doubt the diff oil had ever been changed. Needless to say, there's a lot less gear noise now.

    I have the flip-down DVD player mounted on the ceiling, but I'd like to remove it because it just shakes and rattles and I don't have any need for it. What normally mounts up there?

    Hi all,

    I don't post a ton over here, since I also felt like there wasn't huge LR3 presence. Seems like I was also wrong! My truck is outfitted with a Bajarack standard rack (new so it's not in most of the pics below), an IBS dual battery system, Rasta 4x4 sill protectors, sump guard, rear ladder, brush bar, 12v fridge, and ARB awning (I'm sure there are a couple other things I'm forgetting in that list).

    Here are a couple pics of my truck from when I still lived out west:

    Nowadays, I'm stuck in Pittsburgh, PA and don't get out as much as I would like to. My most recent "big trips" were a few days exploring Adirondack Park in upstate NY:

    And a couple of days in Carova Beach, NC:

    While Adirondack Park was a ton of fun, it wasn't quite what I got used to out west...there just isn't enough space east of the Mississippi! Carova was cool, but only because we were there in the off season (April), and it wasn't crowded at all. I'm in the process of planning a trip to the Cherokee and Pisgah NFs now, and will be headed there in late June. If anyone has any suggestions for that area, let me know!

    drcoopster, did you have some cement bricks in the truck there? The suspension looks totally bottomed out!
