    Help in identifying part - Timing Chain Service

    Thanks @weezer! Most excellent! I just ordered three (an extra just in case...!) from Parts Geek. I had good luck with PG on a previous order, they have them in stock, so am going with PG again and will see what happens. Meanwhile, the cylinder heads went back on today and got torqued to...

    Timing Chain parts

    I am using the Atlantic British kit and have some notes (not done yet and so let's not get too far ahead...still need to get the engine running again!) but am using the whole kit; it is actually missing a couple items. But... you have to pull the engine in order to access the AUX chain (the...

    Routing for stout wires from battery to back?

    Dear @greiswig, Have you checked out @drivesafe (Tim at Traxide in Australia)? Sounds like you are looking for something like "DT90-FPC Full Power Cable Kit" [traxide.com.au/product/dt90-fpc-full-power-cable-kit/] I have actually had this kit for years now and am hoping to get it installed...

    Help in identifying part - Timing Chain Service

    Dear @weezer – thanks for posting and creating a very helpful thread! Dear @Rover Range – always helpful and thanks for assisting the tribe with your knowledge and experience! The photograph is what I found on the back of the cylinder heads (look familiar!?!) ….so seems like I will now be...

    This is most excellent! Wrenching away - nothing better!

    Battery life

    Thanks @gsxr - seven years is pretty good and I think an AGM would be better (and always using the maintainer). As to why replacing batteries every 2-3 years, let's just say my truck has a hard life...I could tell you, but you probably wouldn't even believe it! Awesome as always bbyer! Thanks...

    Battery life

    Since getting my LR4 in 2010, I have probably put in something like 6 batteries, including the larger truck batteries (recommended!) I also use the TRAXIDE dual system to help out (also highly recommended!) However, these trucks are simply power hungry. I am putting in a new alternator with my...

    Showoff Your LR4

    Land Rover / Africa Joe here...been a very long time since being on the forums (lots to do). I was one of the early folks on this forum with my 2010 LR4 HSE (I think I joined the forum in late 2009 even though my badge says 2011). After much debate and heartache, I have kept my truck and am...

    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...
