I replaced the incadescent license plate bulbs with new 6-LED bulbs for a cleaner look.420 viewsI was following a 2006 Lexus ES and noticed their license plate bulbs are now using LEDs, so I thought the same thing would look good on the rover. 23 Feb 2006

Here\'s a view of the Drive+Play "brain" which I mounted in the empty space in front of the gear selector.650 viewsI ran the power and audio cables to the rear of the center console in order to tap into the 12 volt power and "Aux" adapter. When you're sitting in the back seat, you don't see any cables whatsoever. My entire goal was to make it look as factory original as possible.23 Feb 2006

I have the screen lightly wedged between the rubber mat and the bottom of the ashtray567 viewsI plan to create a wooden block to attach the screen to and use foam tape (sticky on both sides) to hold it in. However, so far it hasn\'t moved and the ashtray is completely useable (for my parking meter quarters).23 Feb 2006

Smooth off road ride!399 viewsThis was the first time I took my LR3 off-road. I traded my Jeep Wrangler for this vehicle so I was used to heading into the rugged mountains. I was very amazed (as were my friends in their Jeeps) just how level the LR3 remained as I navigated over various dips and mounds. You can see the Cherokee behind me couldn't say the same.03 Jan 2006
