    Hi-Lift Jack storage options?

    Daniel, Greetings from Africa and I hope all is well. I am curious what you think of the Jackmate and how it is working. My truck is just arriving here so hopefully we will be on the road soon…more to follow for the group! Regarding the Lift-mate, you are correct—I am referring to a wheel...

    Hi-Lift Jack storage options?

    Hello Everyone, Daniel-Thanks for your post. I don't have much more to add about Jacking from the LR4 although there is a good thread already out there on this forum regarding Jacking Advice. Bottom Line: to use the Hi-Lift you need a Hi-Lift jacking point. But if you use the Hi-Lift, then it...

    Land Rover Warn Winch Accessory

    Dear All, Although winches are not my cup of tea, I have been very satisfied with my Rasta 4X4 underbody protection out of Israel, and they make a very nice looking hidden winch mount. See http://www.rasta4x4.com/ProductsByFamily0769.html?Type=2 . Although listed as an LR3 install, they told me...

    How to change an LR4 tire with a Hi Lift Jack?

    Greetings and salutations from Africa to all! Land Rover Joe here back in Africa but without said LR4, most unfortunately. The truck is still in the workshop getting modified in what I have deemed the most expensive science project ever. Hopefully she will be back on the trails in Africa...

    Change out differential and transfer case fluids

    All, I recently changed my transmission fluid (transfer case) and both differentials after 5 years (30K miles). The fluids were all dirty and there were some shavings in the diffs. Although I did the fluids change now because of their age (and not mileage), I am glad I did it...

    Non OEM oil options?

    Greetings and salutations all, I just wanted to add my comments to this thread. While in East Africa a few years back, the proper (i.e. OEM) brand of oil was simply not available. I used Royal Purple instead, which exceeded the OEM specs, and I had no issues. In fact, I also was using...

    Skid Plates

    Tucsontom, Yes-the plates are listed at LR3 but they fit the LR4; I believe the frame is the same for both vehicles. The difficulty in installing has to do with the way one needs to move the mounting nuts into position; you bolt from underneath the vehicle upward and need a system for...

    Skid Plates

    Dear All, I currently have quite a bit of underbody protection for my 2010 LR4 from Rasta 4X4 out of Israel. See: http://www.rasta4x4.com/ProductsByModele194.html?Model=7 Although rather difficult to mount/dismount, I am very happy with their product and greatly prefer alloy plates than...

    Voyager side steps badly rusted

    Dear All, Land Rover Joe here, after a bit of a hiatus. I wanted to posit some observations about these "frame sliders." I purchased mine back in 2010 and have driven them in some of the most corrosive environments on the planet (some...not all). These hot spots even have corroded...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Bartek, I currently plan on ordering the KO2's in 285/60/R18. I have a really great dealership but plan on using an Indy shop to do my mods: they are cheaper and seem more accustomed (not-to-mention enthusiastic) to do off-road mods (and I have a lot of work to do). All my stuff won't...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I am, ahem, in the market for new wheels and such for my return to the continent of Africa after my stateside sojourn. I decided on getting the Compo's and many thanks to David (Finlayforpres) for helping point me in the right direction and answer questions. Compo's...

    Check your water pump!

    Greetings, My 2010 LR4 water pump blew up last Christmas (driving my parents around in snowy New England no less) at about 20,000 (very hard) miles. Total failure and blew all the coolant all over the engine bay. Fortunately...we were almost home and then I had her towed in; Dealer paid all...

    LR4 Camera System Fault

    Alimby22, I did occasionally have this problem and it sounds like a software upgrade—as you allude. There were several problems with my camera system…which made it very difficult to figure out without all the proper diagnostic equipment; one of those problems was the software, and I am assuming...

    LR4 Camera System Fault

    Ajatsea, Land Rover Joe here, hope all is well. Based on my experience with the camera system, you will need to go to the dealer. It sounds like a loose wire or dirty connection, but the system is so complicated that it is near impossible for a lay person to troubleshoot. Let us know what...

    Major Issue

    baobay, Do you know why the fuel injectors were bad? I have a bit of experience driving in harsh conditions and with "bad" (i.e. low octane) gasoline. However, I feel that the high levels of additives (methanol) in current blends are exceptionally bad for the high performance engines like the...

    LR4 Camera System Fault

    Spoonito, Perhaps the video module is the issue? I didn't think there would be anything wrong with mine (it sits under me), but it seemed to have been the principle issue. Just a thought- Cheers, Land Rover Joe

    LR4 Camera System Fault

    ~The Land Rover Joe Problem and Final Solution~ So, I had a blue screen for the camera’s and intermittently (normally not) would have a functioning camera (one or two). This situation lasted for almost a year, where I tried to troubleshoot by myself. As I was driving in an exceptionally...

    LR4 Camera System Fault

    This is from the LR4 Shop Manual concerning camera issues: FYI and for clarity in descriptions. Also, the two attachments are from the shop manual; one is the Camera system "video module" (located under the driver's seat) and the other is a summary of the major camera system components...

    Talk me Down !!!

    David, Thanks. Oddly enough, there is a recent article in South Africa 4X4 Magazine about the "Toyota or not Toyota" question (http://sa4x4.co.za/component/k2/torque-of-the-town or SA 4X4 "Torque of the Town") regarding the Toyota--but is concerns the 70 series and not the 200 series. Hope...

    Talk me Down !!!

    Ladies and Gents, Land Rover Joe here; Apologies for my absenteeism--out and about with other things. If I may offer my two cents regarding this thread. I do like this topic. 1. Apples and oranges. I know africa, and Djibouti, fairly well (I liked the picture of the Kemp!). It is difficult...

    Once again pleasantly surprised by the LR4

    David, No worries about the response (I am not going anywhere soon). Alex, I am bringing over my 2010 LR4. I posted some pictures of it in action in Africa. Our plan is to keep the truck for the long haul (which is how I justified the mods). When it finally gets here, I will be needing to...

    Gents, FYI: I am in New Haven now, looking at a house in Branford to stay the winter. Land Rover on the way out of Africa... Hope to see you all sometime. Best, Land Rover Joe

    The Perfect Dog Vehicle

    David, Wonderful story-thanks! This particular topic (unlike house hunting) does not exceed my LR4 forum threshold. Lots of Land Rover fans love animals and certainly one of the advantages of driving a Landy is plenty of room for animals in the “Noah’s Ark” of vehicles. We will most...
