Looking good. When my tacoma is beyond death and I replace it I'm thinking of going with a trail only discovery. I've wanted one of these since I was a kid..

Dual Battery Installation in LR3

I set out this summer wanting to run dual batteries for I felt a lot of reasons. Refrigerator operation, winching, Ham radio power and to provide juice for all those sundry electronic devices we accumulate. Did some research on line and read some forums and decided on the D3-DU kit from...

and the winch tray is from Lucky 8

3-years later lol. Yeah an update is always nice (not that I'm much better about rig updates).
Still liking your LR3? Did the 2" lift links give you any issues? I looked at LR4s a while back with plans of the same upgrade but read some stories of affected suspension life.

It has not demonstrated any suspension issues and I've not heard of any in the circles I run in...

I don't think you'd have an issue. LR3 / LR4 is pretty solid for the most part. Both have crappy suspension components due to the weight of the vehicle though so there's that.

I've not had a suspension related issue ever.
