Love what you did. I will be doing same for my 2006 LR3.
very impressive land rover LR3 and video👍
Thanks!
Damn! Awesome video @fjmatt. These is the only comprehensive 35" tire install for LR3/D3 in the world and I'm so glad you spent time and effort to show this to the world!
I’m stoked that you liked it! I realized there wasn’t a lot of info out there about doing it, and it felt kinda like an experiment. Haha Hopefully it helps other people know what to do moving forward.
Intros are the best part
Hahaha I agree
Just for the look.. I would never to this to my rig! Yes they looks good.
Such a damn good looking SUV I want a rig but I’m gonna need to trade it for my current posh perfect Lexus Ls460L I need a smooth ride and I hear this is the smoothest out of a rig
If you want smooth, also look at the LX570s. They ride extremely nicely with the hydraulic system.
I'm on LT265/60R/20's (32.5") on a 2012 L322 Range Rover Supercharged with the big Brembo brakes that limits me to 20" diameter wheels. I'm running a 2.5" bag spacer lift kit. I really like the tall skinny tire for off road work better that the super wide 13.5" units. Nitto and Toyo offer tires in an equivalent 33/11.50R/18, 34/11.50R/18 and 35/11.50R/18 tire. The skinnier section width will make fitting the tire on any of the Land Rover platforms so much easier. You should do a test between the wide and narrow carcass and let us know what you think. Truck looks great, keep up the good work!
This thing looks mean. Can't wait to see it hitting the trails
That video should be out next week!
Looks so good!!
It really does!
Nice work, I love how the LR3 is coming out. That said, please cap the body mount chop, otherwise you'll just be loading that area with mud and asking for it to rot from the inside out...
Funny enough, it’s easier to clean out without a cap. It’s quite a popular discussion in the toyota world too, and people tend to have zero issues either way.🤙🏼
Very very good video, I loved the content and I will move forward with my 35" tire project, it will position us on how the day-to-day use is going, today I have a car for a more extreme offroad a 2015 troller with 37" tires front and rear blocking and everything else but I want something more overland...kkkk Success for you and a hug from Brazil.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! 35s are definitely the largest I would go on an LR3.
Nice work and great info, thanks! I do think those look too big on both the diameter and the width (IMO) but it just shows it's possible with the appropriate mods. Cheers!
The body is so big on the LR3 that in person I think they look proportional. That said, I’m also used to big tires on everything. Haha.
@@fj_matt yes I noticed that ;0)
Got my channel in here and you’ve got a sub from South Korea. No Disco yet but it’s THE dream for the channel and my Overlanding life! Stay well brother.
Hello from Canada! All the best to you as well.
@@fj_matt I’m actually from Canada but live and work in SK since 2005. Originally from Toronto.
💥💥💥💥
The car looks great with the big tires. :) Let's hope you don't pop an airbag.........then you will be stranded. :D
The SYA kit actually makes it so that doesn’t happen. I had an air fault once, and it saved me.🤙🏼
Also, I highly suggest that you disconnect the wiring harness that runs along the frame - the one that goes to the height sensor - from where it is clipped in and zip tie it up higher.
I’ll check on that.🤙🏼
@@fj_matt i put it off until it was too late and ripped the harness apart and my tires aren’t as wide as yours. I’d prioritize it…
What's the offset on those wheels, and are you still using spacers?
+35 on the wheels, and then I do have spacers on top of that. I forget how many mm.
I am running 305/55R20 on my LR3, which is 33.2x12R20 with minor rubbing at full lock. I have the air to coil+2`` conversion done. I am thinking now about putting a strut spacer to see if the rubbing goes away. My question to you would be if you thought about a body lift? I am thinking about it, but do not understand how the oem bumpers still fit for the oem look. There seem to be some kits on ebay or lucky8.
I’ve never been the biggest fan of body lifts. (Mostly from a looks perspective). That’s why I decided to make it work without one. Is your tire hitting the top of the wheel well?
@@fj_matt no hitting, no more rubbing…but still no 35’’ :))
🔥🔥🔥🔥
this is next currently running 295/6518 mine doesn’t have the rear ax and heater so probably I wouldn’t have the coolant hoses not sure about ac hoses but doesn’t look to hard thanks for the video
How hard was fitting that size? Not having the rear heater will definitely make it a bit easier! You might still have the extra metal in the rear wheel well though.
@@fj_matt super easy just some spacers to clear the upper ball joint and about it I have the thin spacer will definitely go with one you got lift just those rod and I do have some litle rubbing on front in normal height but I’m not worried about it
but what happens if the suspension drops to the lowest height? after sitting for a long time?
That’s what the SYA kit is for.🤙🏼. It moves the bump zones down for bigger tires.
How did you fix speed accuracy?
I had a shop adjust it, but it only did a little bit. The speedo is still off, but I just live with it. I might get a scan gauge though and that’ll read accurately.
What size are the rims? 18X8?
18x9 actually.🤙🏼
looks good but if your in a heavy front end crash the engines joining you in the cab with that frame chop
Look, I don’t mean to argue, but that frame part has literally zero impact on where the engine is mounted, or the firewall. It would take one of the most incredible crashes in the world for the engine to tear off its mounts, go over the frame rail, drop in the wheel well and then come towards the cab. And even if it did, there’s still the fully intact firewall and the body mount that sits at the firewall.
Land Rover owners aren’t used to these modifications, although they’re starting to happen more and more, but this and firewall tubs have been extremely common in the toyota world. And funny enough, in the jeep world, they don’t even exist, because you just have a firewall there, no big body mount sticking out.
@@fj_matt each to there own but as an mot inspector in the uk id fail that instantly under structual , but if your alowed over there go for it
Luckily North America has a lot more freedom with vehicle modification than most of the rest of the world. Here it’s a non-issue.
Cheers
Not true. He did not chop the chasis.. Only thng chopped is the a small part of the body mount bracket. You can see this if you look at the complete LR3 chasis without the body.
Andy Liwush fit 37’s, but without gears, it’s too much tire. Turning 35’s is already a struggle.
I should have worded it 35s on 2.5” suspension lift. Haha. But I agree, 35s are the max I would do on this powertrain even if 37s fit better.
@@fj_matt I really hope more people fit 35’s, and more importantly, keep hammering the gear companies to make a lower gear set. I’ve contacted everyone I can find here and abroad and everyone feels like there just isn’t enough demand. I can’t even get an audience to discuss a customs set - regardless of price. The 4.4 just doesn’t have the @$$ to turn 35’s on rocks. I’ve found somewhere around 2’ there just isn’t enough torque. Mine tires aren’t quite as big as yours (Nitto Mud Grapp 35/12.5/18) but fit them early 2017. I think if I did it again, I’d probably put a metric 34x11.5, to see if that didn’t have a little more oomph.
Truck looks great!
A few comments- First, I'm glad you posted this as so few people mod the 3. However, there are some things that should be addressed. As shown, you WILL rub quite a bit when articulating heavily. Likely it will self-eject a rear wheel flare. Also, you definetely should mention that you have a LOT of offset on those wheels to get a tire that wide to clear the front UCAs at the balljoint. I should also point out that that's a very mild tire with no significant side-lugs. You also didn't mention moving the driver's front wire loom at the frame - a critical step as an aggressive tire will snag this and rip it out which takes out the height sensor and ABS making the truck drop to the bumpstops. It's an easy thing but not mentioned. Next, you still have a stock front bumper which helps with clearance but many people are running aftermarket winch bumpers. The ARB in particular is popular but causes more problems that will require cutting (I'm not a fan of the ARB for that and other reasons). You also have no sliders installed which will require more mods. The only sliders I've yet found that are worth buying for this truck are the the Tactial Rovers part. All the others I've seen have failed in the rocks and sliders are the first and most important mod needed on the 3 / 4 platform due to the very limited rocker clearance. It does look good, but clearly this isn't a truck built for trail use; it's not exactly going to see the Rubicon now, is it? I expect this will be a street or dirt road rig for which it may be fine but as shown if you try to use it on any sort of moderate trail it's going to suffer a lot. Lastly, you didn't address gearing. As far as I know there's not been any aftermarket solution to this yet and it's one of the biggest issues. Even with smaller 32" tires it struggles in the rocks. With 35s, even mild ones like this, it will suffer on pavement with maintaining 6th gear on any sort of grade and will really suffer in the rocks. The gearing just isn't there. The later 8-speed LR4 might offer some options here depending on what ratio is offered stock in the axles.
Firstly, I’m just showing how I did it, not talking about every single setup out there. Also, feel free to go watch my offroad video. I can properly flex it out and wheel it, but I prefer my other builds on 37s with lockers for hard trails.🤙🏼
I appreciate the additional info an comments though!
Hey this is important I'm running 36 inch tires in total 6 inch lift plus I have custom a arms for articulation and CV beefier bigger ones but do I need to increase my power or anything is it possible to run 37s for my 3 please answer I want to rock crawl this boy
@@Freedomtooffroad I love the LR3 but let's be honest - it will never be a rock crawler. It's simply too heavy and lacks articulation due to the independent suspension. I would be very interested in hearing about the custom arms you are running as that is one of the major hurdles to getting reasonable travel. Of course the other massive problem that you have no doubt already found if you have a 36" tire is there is no gearing options. Even a 33 or 34" tire really needs to be re-geared to AT LEAST get back to stock gearing and even then it's not low enough for crawling. But I'd really love to see/hear more about your truck. Do you have a build page or anything?
@@donhappel9566 I'm gonna be honest I mean yes its to heavy but it's the best thing I got i have a big family so they are not much cars that are cheap and big.I am planning for a build page but for the a arms I got them custom made from a website I have to check on that I'll have to update you on that I am planning on making custom long travel suspension from kings
@@donhappel9566 wait I have just checked about something an upgraded jeep wrangler with 40s and stuff is similar to my land rover lr3 I think power might be an issue because I've seen jeeps which way close to 3 tons and some broncos weight just less than a 100 kgs when my land rover lr3 if full with ppl and fuel
0:35 No, TRX has 325/65R18.
You’re right actually! I was given wrong info, so thanks for the correction. The size overall is extremely similar though.🤙🏼
Want to see it flex ..
You’ll see that video next week.🤙🏼. Spoiler, it flexes perfectly fine.
I really don't why putting bigger tires on a land rover lr3 when the discovery 2 a much better off road vehicle in the land rover brand due to the front and rear solid axles and the punkin are inline and can fix bigger than 35 I believe 37 with no problems yes I know the styling not as nice or newer as a lr3/lr4 bit the discovery is a much better for off road and clearance, I'm not judging just saying I own a 2007 land rover lr3 that has 275x65x18 mickey Thompson exp ledgends but I won't go any bigger and they rub at full turn , I also have the xlifter I haven't installed yet due to my suspension fault I'm waiting on all new height sensors you might look n2 the xlifter it will give extended height over offroad height to use in tight turning
Get an Xlifter or a rhino lift kit
It has the Rhino lift rods.
😂😂😂
Seems crazy when you are doing this for egotistical reasons. The speed and fuel consumption will be drastically changed. I’m sure you will regret the decision to fit those tyres. That’s my opinion anyway. 👎🏿🙈

I’m not doing this mode’ but wanted to see truck photos after mode I scan’s video ( didn’t watch) I never saw the end results seems lame to me.
Dude relax and chill out
Maybe u don’t know this but this is an off road channel where he took this off-roading. 🤡
Cybertruck has bigger tyres stock!
It actually doesn’t. They need to be lifted to fit 35s.
@@fj_matt 285/65r20 = 34.6”
My bronco came from the factory on that same diameter. Many other vehicles here in North America come on that size or even bigger, but it’s still a large tire.🤙🏼
Пенс засунут будет летать
What about the fuel consumption, with these big feet ?!?
