    8 Cylinder vs 6 Cylinder

    I really like the power I get from my v8. Wish all models came with HD. Mostly I wish they would puta larger gas tank in these things! The twice weekly (filling tank) reminder that the thing gets crappy MPG is a bit much.

    Hiddden Winch Install -- Estimate

    @ncburch22-- I'm based in Missouri. I'm certain the shop didn't want to mess with the install so gave me a crazy high estimate. I ended up doing the install myself. It's not 100% professional but frankly wasn't all that difficult.

    Lug nut Mystery

    During the research phase I emailed gorilla direct regarding part fit for the Competitive wheels. Here is the response: From the website it appears that the wheels are designed to use the OEM lug nuts. If that is correct, my part number 75148RBC is a black “Land Rover” style lug nut designed...

    Lug nut Mystery

    Thanks for the feedback. The shop that installed my wheels/tires is a great place, they equip various vehicles for the Pikes Peak Hill Climb and I would defiantly recommend. Rex Tires in COLO Springs, CO. In the ideal I am sure he is correct, I should use lugs identical in shape to the OME. If...

    Lug nut Mystery

    Thought I would check in here, see if anyone running the Gorilla lugs has a report on their longer term reliatiblity. Today I had my new Compo's installed and really want to get black lugs to match. installer discouraged me from using the Gorilla as the measurements are not equivilant to the...

    @bmw -- seems to me you should keep them white to match the LR.

    T44 rock sliders - Test fitting (long post)

    For those who installed rubber sound insulator with the T44 sliders -- wondering if you could share diameters, sources, and/or any related recommendations. I am about to install the sliders and just saw the suggestions to ad rubber so thought I would reach out. Thanks in advance for any...

    Hiddden Winch Install -- Estimate

    This is a close up of the rough cut I started for the handle. I will take another pass with the grinder and then use hand file to smooth and even it out.

    Hiddden Winch Install -- Estimate

    @geoffx19 -- Did you use the terrafirma mount? I have cut the plastic back around the top front edge of the mount and notched out the freespool handle (that I had to clock back to 9:00 because of the lack of vertical clearance. Do you have a photo or two you could post? It would be most...

    Hidden Winch Install

    I have been making progress on the install. I picked up a 4 inch grinder and have nearly completed the cutting of the plastic bumper. Tomorrow I hope to have time to cut the opening for the rope. Slow and steady. I also clocked the winch and rotated the handle to the front. Avoided the...

    Hidden Winch Install

    Superwinch 9.5s - purported by at least one user to be an easy fit.

    Hidden Winch Install

    A very old thread but also one of the ONLY decent guides for install of a hidden winch. One bit of information I can add bit of insight for those attempting this install: There is no need to drill out the captive nuts. After dissembling all of the pieces I inserted the original bolt a slight...

    Question about the factory hitch reciever

    I finally was able to get my hitch to recede and attach to the vehicle. It took a multiplier wrench and a rubber mallet. My second disappointment in the LR. $500+ hitch should be functional.

    Hiddden Winch Install -- Estimate

    I picked up a terra-firma hidden winch mounting plate and got a great deal on a superwinch. Reviewing a number of sites on how to go a about doing the install I got scared away from doing the project myself. I just don't feel like I am ready to cut pieces out of the bumper. I emailed a local...

    Trailer Wiring

    @BrandonM7 -- I don't yet have the stomach to dive into the brake controller. Have the hitch mystery to resolve first so I can pick up trailer Saturday. Its fine tow without the controller but as things grow I will indeed be retracing the steps. Btw-- awesome picture. It feels right. Making...

    Trailer Wiring

    @cperez -- I may had made another mistake because I freed the plugs from the clip on the inside of the side compartment to install. After I finally figured out the plugs. I just snuggled them back into the compartment.

    Question about the factory hitch reciever

    @JWA33 -- Appears you and I are working on the same to-do list on the LR. I purchased a hitch off ebay and have the opposite issue of you. I cant get the larger locking pin retracted sufficiently to get the hitch into the vehicle portion of the mechanism. I have pulled out the handle (see red...

    @JWA33 - I really appreciate the guidance. I am the fool!! Yes, the dummy plug was the issue. It is time for a new work light for me.... Cheers!

    Trailer Wiring

    @JWA33 thanks for the suggestion. I will have to check again this evening but I didn't see, to have any other choices for plugs. But I certainly hope it's just my idiocy creating the problem.

    Trailer Wiring

    Installed today. Super simple and worked just as described. Until it didn't! Interior plugs don't fit. Slightly off sized and can't make the connections. I have emailed roverparts for assistance. Oddly the part number and all the pieces lined up right on spec for the LR4. Hoping they will...

    Trailer Wiring

    @tiedflies -- Are you suggesting a wire for charging seperate from the 7 pin or just a different wiring harness than the OEM wiring ? P.S. Like the handle. I'd be whipping out some caddis if I didn't have this little wiring project to tackle.

    Thanks for confirming, but that seem ridiculous to me.

    Trailer Wiring

    I believe I just discovered the LR4 (2013) does not come with wiring for a trailer. While shopping for a hitch, that I knew was not standard issue with the vehicle, I was checking out the hookup and it appears there is no wiring for a hookup, 4 or 7 pin. Am I wrong? Am I missing the most...
