My Alibaba wheel experience
Yea, wheels balanced nice. BKU Racing is the company; i think it makes sense for forged wheels, but if your just getting cast wheels they’re not too pricey on their own. Getting forged wheels for cast prices is a pretty good savings.- 16FujiDisco

My Alibaba wheel experience
Company making them also makes OEM wheels for other brands. They come with a 5yr warranty for workmanship and defects, and meet JWL/VIA standards using T6061 aluminum- 16FujiDisco

My Alibaba wheel experience
Hey all, just wanted to document my experience with the Alibaba wheel trend in case anyone was thinking of giving it a go. I found some forged wheels that I like from Vossen (UV-1) but the price tag was ridiculous ($2500 ea), so I got on Alibaba to find someone to make them. Sent them a...- 16FujiDisco

‘Click’ sound when coming to a stop
So I’ve noticed my L405 makes a ‘click’ sound once it comes to a complete stop. This is not a suspension clunck or other external noise, but what sounds like a solenoid click somewhere on the driver side door area. Only happens once I come to a stop when braking. Any ideas?- 16FujiDisco

Aftermarket Rear Differential Cover: Worth It or Waste?
@ftillier i agree, I think it’s just 2 halves bolted together, not a housing with cover setup.- 16FujiDisco

Aftermarket Rear Differential Cover: Worth It or Waste?
It’s not specific to LR4s, but I know Banks did experiments with diff covers on diesel trucks and found that they weren’t accurate to the claims made by manufacturers. I don’t think it would hurt anything, but doubtful that they actually make a noticeable difference. I personally would just...- 16FujiDisco

2013 LR4 headlight lenses on eBay
None, but I’m interested in your results. I’ve been putting off replacing mine, but I want to try it. The oven process makes me nervous, but I’m going to have to just knock it out at some point. If yours could report back with any tips it would give me some confidence; all the vids online are...- 16FujiDisco

A/C - Expansion Valve?
+1 on the switch option; had that be an issue on my Silverado once. Although it would work for 1 compressor cycle then stop working, until you turned it off and back on.- 16FujiDisco

Another Front Crossover - Right on Schedule !
I was going to walnut blast my valves while I had it apart, but they really weren’t that bad, so I decided against it. I don’t think this engine design has that big of an issue like some BMW and VW gdi engines. My own theory is that the oil that puddles in the intake is x% of what would make it...- 16FujiDisco

Another Front Crossover - Right on Schedule !
JLR has metal front pipes; have not seen metal rears yet. To me it’s worth the extra $$ for OEM metal ones, others seem to require a little modification either with different o-rings, or trimming the screw mounting hole. I used plastic rears when I jut did mine, just going to be a 50k mi service...- 16FujiDisco

*Front Knuckle Cracking - Cont.*
Just received an email from George at the NHTSA - they have officially notified JLR that they opened an investigation for the recall to cover 2018-2021.5 L405 and L494 vehicles on top of the current recall for 2014-2017. This is the first step in extending the official recall through this body...- 16FujiDisco

Most popular injector puller?
FWIW I might would try without a puller; when I did my big 120k mi service I broke the electrical connector on the back driver side injector. I was dreading it, thinking it would be a massive headache, but I put a little pressure on it with a flathead screw driver, and it popped right out.- 16FujiDisco
