LR4 Steering Sounds
Did you check videos at start and compare? I checked even got things replaced on the high side... Sound / vibration is transmitted up the column.. makes it sound like it's right at the wheel... Since that LR4 I've had 2-3 other vehicles with similar sounds - those were also tied to steering... -

Looking to buy an LR4 and have some questions
My wife also prefers the LR3/LR4 Body. Disappointed with the look of the D5 - but just our opinion. Nice inside - Agreed there. Myself Prefer the V8 over the V6 (which they've had a V6 Option in early years - but admit the SCV6 of 14 was good) But probably lower Total cost if you end up with... -

Does Air suspension need to be in Offroad mode for Hoisting jack?
Finally had a few minutes while doing some tire changes recently.. Only Took 10+ Years to get a video of it.... Parked - No brake Set and in Normal Height, Vehicle ShutOff yes have also seen it work in Offroad height as well but didn't test. Placed the Jack directly Under the A-Arm Joint... -

BFG T/A KO2 in 19"
That is due to the lower bushings - replace those and keep a decent balance and you don't get really wicked Cupping like I've got... but just throw some mud / snow / sand / rocks under them and all is good! LTZ sidewall cuts though - hrmm... maybe those were Nittos.... very similar tire but... -

BFG T/A KO2 in 19"
running Atturo MTRs now... Very loud - like the tire... cost effective when I purchased ~Dec 2017 ~$600 installed - current price not bad either ~$160 each have since worn really un-even but I blame myself for trips from SoCal to Jackson Hole and back via large ~3000mi circle and not redoing... -

8 Cylinder vs 6 Cylinder
MrKon, The old sandrail, errr LR3 still running? I'm remembering an expensive cleanup in shifter and sunroof rails!!!! ------- Personally agree with the V8 side... The v6 works and it also "worked" fine in the LR3 without SC. The 14 and newer though are pretty nice interior wise... Shifter... -

Saying goodbye to an albatross
I agree... but several I've talked to said it was obvious that the lower placement of the LR4 lead to the alternators demise... Mine still going good but again haven't been in / near much water... our downpours the past year are what most states / areas would call a sprinkle. (being in my... -

Saying goodbye to an albatross
I only recently heard about alternators being a bit of a higher issue than normal. Water Pump is a known as well as a plastic pipe near it, is common to crack - good to know about the darn oil O rings though... just hitting ~ 105 on our LR4 Alternator issue I'm told is due to its location... -
