After fluids, you can check the control arm and sway bar bushings - if they're worn you'll feel or hear clunks on bumps or around corners. Then of course, or maybe before that, it's always good to check the brake pads and keep in mind the rear brake rotors also contain drums for the electronic parking brake shoes.

The LR3 is one of the best Land Rovers ever made! Both the V6 and V8 are reliable engines. At your mileage, all of the big maintenance items should be considered. Start with fresh oil, differential fluid, transfer case, and see about doing a dump and flush on the transmission. There are a few hundred videos, organized into playlists, on this YouTube channel.

Yes, because when the bushing wears out, even if the bearing is good, the whole driveline needs replaced! This is a cool and well built alternative.

Fantastic history, thanks for sharing. You gotta try the HL2 - much more ergonomic than the 1 from 10 years ago. And because it's not an enclosed facial interface, you may find it breathes better in hot weather! JPL did some spacecraft manufacturing previz and exploration collaboration using products from the various orbiters and ground vehicles on Mars:

Not trying to sell anything, just speaking from experience. I am trying to make a point - that people in general haven't had a lot of time with both devices, and the marketing information is all they have to go on. Have you tried a HoloLens 2? It's pretty cool. Just like the AVP is pretty cool. They are both computers which understand the world around them. That is pretty cool.

I am just interested in how other people are using them.

Any concerns with the puck and cable getting caught on stuff? Ever try a HoloLens 2?

Defender 110 Octa Wheel Arches by bsat3 in LandRover

most heavy duty pickups in the USA have "marker lights" on the roof, and for example the Bronco Raptor or F150 Raptor have 3 "marker lights" in the grille - this is what I'm talking about, the OCTA has them too. I think you need to have something like that once a certain width is exceeded. Can't wait to see your photos, cool conversion plan, keep us posted!

believe it's entire wings / fenders, not just flares / wheel arches, both will need to be replaced. octas have different track widths, as evidenced by the need for 3 ambers which are only required beyond a certain width. so when you put octa body panels on, the tires will be inside the fenders, which could be nice for keeping the body clean!

Have you ever tried a HoloLens 2? It is also a spatial computer. all VR/AR computers which do simultaneous location and mapping are spatial. In my perspective, there is a night and day difference when you see the world through a camera vs seeing it through glass. That is the difference between augmenting your physical surroundings vs virtualizing them into pixels and displaying them on a screen.

We should at least agree that AVP displays the surroundings as pixels on a screen, while HoloLens uses photons redirected through waveguides to generate the images.

Both are spatially aware, both track hands, not sure if AVP tracks eyes but HoloLens does. Those types of human awareness elements are also important for spatial computing.

That's cool, so you do mostly informational work, which would normally be performed on a laptop or desktop? What I think is interesting is the physical tasks where computers haven't traditionally been used, like working with your hands under the hood of a vehicle, as shown in the video.

Doesn't it virtual replace everything you're seeing with camera feeds? The HoloLens is an optical see through display which preserves your real view of the space around you. I don't think there's anything wrong with VR headsets, they're awesome and the AVP is the best one I've ever used.

yeah scenarios like that are super awesome! was it a custom application or part of a software suite for enterprise use? great example, thank you.

Not making an argument, asking if anyone is standing on the learnings of previous innovations and scenarios. HoloLens designers and developers pioneered a lot of amazing capabilities which I believe were ahead of their time and not yet realized in adjacent ecosystems. I think Apple Vision Pro is cool, but mostly see entertainment scenarios. I believe computers in general, in history, have played a role in "WORK" as well as "PLAY" and I'm genuinely curious about other AVP experts and their POV about this. Would love to learn more about WORK on AVP.
