    When did your crossover go and is your climate HOT (CA, NM, AZ, TX, LA, etc) or COOL (PNW, northeast, etc)

    Honestly, it can vary just based on the nature of the casting process, every so slightly thicker/thinner walls where the seams meet, etc. I replaced both around 60/70k to be safe, front eventually blew around 130k. Mine popped on the freeway, I remember the distinct crunch of hardened plastic as...

    Been absent for along while, beauty has 130K on it now, but hasn't let me down yet. Installed rear tire carrier, factory day running lights, dual zone fridge, 18" with 285/60/18 Toyo RT's

    I meant size, but you could seize trying to mount it to a pro speed rack, lol.

    It’s the Thule Force XT sport - I believe it’s the smallest one in that line. I choose that particular seize, so I could mount my Kayak on the other side

    Been following this forum for some time now and only now getting around to posting a few pics. Thanks to all who post, learning so much about these very capable vehicles.

    LR4 Transmission oil change... mixed feelings.

    Hey man, so dampener did reduce buzz, but has not eliminated it. It is definitely not as distracting now, but on occasion I can hear/feel it.

    LR4 Transmission oil change... mixed feelings.

    Sorry for late reply, next time I'm down at my mechanics, I'll get the specifics about the update procedure he went through. I'm pretty sure it's not necessary, and in retrospect not a good idea of mine to do a transfer case update/reset. I was trying to eliminate possible cases for the rpm...

    LR4 Transmission oil change... mixed feelings.

    Sharing my latest transmission story for what it's worth. I currently have 50k on the car, had transmission service/AB conversion kit done at 35k and a transfer case fluid flush at 45K to try and resolve a slight buzzing noise that occurs at the end of each shift. You can only really hear the...

    What did they do!!!

    Sorry to hear this story, I hope everything work's out in the end. My apologies, if I'm highjacking this thread, but I thought I'd share my latest tranny story for what it's worth. My transmission can make a few soft clunk shifts up and down on occasion, seems to be par for the corse with these...

    Yes, 7 Gal is good for our family of three +1 friend for a few days of camping. I'd also recommend the electric pressure pump and a shower tent as I find them very useful. There's nothing better than a shower and a cold beer after a couple of days on the road.

    Roof top Shower is amazing. I highly recommend the shower attachment which I find invaluable especially after hitting a remote beach or lake with the kids. I'm in SoCal, so on the really hot days the water temp can get too hot, so I either park in shade or run my Hilleburg awing over it.

    Nitto G2 265/50/20 don't fit, really??

    Yes, thanks for correcting, I was referring to the HD package lockers. Some front air lockers would be nice though ;)
