Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?
I had the same experience with my Voyager. It had been powder coated without any priming/rust prevention, and it started to rust heavily after a couple of years. I ended up getting it re-powdercoated by a local firm and it's held up great.- AdventureTim

SC V6 Overheat Spike at Highway Speeds
No warnings or anything of note on the IID Tool. I think I'll replace the thermostat with Lucky8's 82 degree version and do the water pump at the same time.- AdventureTim

Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?
I’ve had a spare tyre carrier for many years now and love it; the minor inconvenience of swinging it prior to opening the hatch is offset by being able to use it to haul extra items (rotopax, propane, trash carrier) and it being a handy step to get in/out of my rooftop tent. I would strongly...- AdventureTim

SC V6 Overheat Spike at Highway Speeds
Hey folks! Wondering if anyone has experienced this before? My SC V6 (~95k miles) has recently started overheating in a very specific situation: when you first start it up and begin driving at highway speeds then shortly afterwards, the coolant gauge will spike and there’ll be an overheat...- AdventureTim

Start/Stop ECO question
I agree; it sounds like the battery is dying. I experienced similar symptoms when my start/stop battery died. It only lasted about five years. Switching it out and a battery reset fixed it for me.- AdventureTim

Rear wheel carrier latch question
A bunch of problems: 1. They don't rust prep the steel before powder coating. All it takes is a small chip and rust will begin to form on the steel. Unlike with paint, rust propagates quickly under powder coat. I just had the whole arm sandblasted and powder coated by a reputable firm who added...- AdventureTim

Keyless Entry Antenna Location
There's one antenna by the towing/recovery hitch at the back of the vehicle (at least, there is on 2014+'s). Not sure if that constitutes "load-space".- AdventureTim

Rear wheel carrier latch question
Avoid the Voyager one at all costs -- their products are poorly made. I have spent as much as the swing arm cost just fixing it up.- AdventureTim

At Long Last... Modern head unit!
GaiaGPS through CarPlay will do that and much, much more. Topo maps, forest service maps etc.- AdventureTim

At Long Last... Modern head unit!
Really hoping they figure it out! I have the Naviplus CarPlay integration with the factory screen. On the MY14+ facelift it does a decent job, but I'd love a larger screen. There are a bunch (10+) of different sellers on AliBaba selling a very similar unit to the PowerfulUK one, but the...- AdventureTim

Relocating backup camera
That's great news! I'm stoked to hear it's working for you and that it seems like there's a standardisation around the video signals. I've wanted to upgrade/replace the factory camera with something that has better low light performance. Have you noticed a difference in image quality with your...- AdventureTim

Relocating backup camera
FYI, this is what the visibility looks like with the camera relocated to the other side of the trunk handle. You get ~90% of the vision:- AdventureTim

Relocating backup camera
I successfully relocated my camera to the other side of the trunk release handle assembly; I purchased another assembly from eBay from a car without a camera (perhaps an LR3) and then cut out a slot that fit my OEM camera. It was a bit fiddly, but not too bad. The factory cable was long enough...- AdventureTim

Best rack for LR4 without factory rails
The wind deflector didn’t help much. I think a lot of wind noise comes from the wind passing around each of the slats.- AdventureTim

Best rack for LR4 without factory rails
The ProSpeed rack is definitely worth considering too. It's high quality and low profile. I had the FrontRunner rack for a couple of years. It's strong and there are a ton of accessories available, but it has terrible wind noise at speeds >70mph.- AdventureTim
