Coyote or LS3 Engine Swap for LR4?
Hi all - outside of the levelsperformance approach I have not been able to find anyone/shop who has done engine swaps for LR4. I love this vehicle, but my engine was very problematic and ultimately led to the truck being totaled. I'd love to get back into an LR4, but I'd really like to get... -
Looking for a 19" off road tire.
Scott - those tires look great on your rig! I have been running the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac 255/55/19 for the past 5 years. I am just about through my 2nd set. Duractracs do seem to get louder as they wear down, but it is very minor in my mind. I kind of feel that I should expect road... -
LR4 Valve Cover Gasket Replacement?
Hey guys - any feedback you can share with the rest of us? Any specific challenges in making this repair? Are removing/replacing the injectors difficult? I'm getting ready to do this job myself - the $2,200 from indy shop to do the work was just a bit steep right now. Any suggestions/reference... -
2012 LR4 - Does dealer need to enable something for towing?
Hi all - does anyone have *authoritative* information on whether or not you need to have the dealership/IID tool enable something to properly tow with the LR4? I ask because I installed the LR OEM tow kit several years ago - the wiring harness and the plow-type hitch. I didn't have the dealer... -

Showoff Your LR4
Hey LB BILL - sorry for the time warp on responding. Work, covid, all kinds of crazy... The tent I bought was a Yakima 3 person tent. Just use it for my wife and me, but gives us plenty of room inside to move around. We bought it at REI for about $1,000, with the knowledge that we had a year... -
Showoff Your LR4
Great photos - love to see the kids getting a chance to experience both the outdoors AND the thrill of wheeling! -
tires for LR4
Hi there - I am on my second set of Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs. Size is 255/55/19 - the stock size tire for the 19” wheels from Land Rover. I went with the duratracs because I wanted a beefy, off-road look (and performance), and there are very, very few rugged looking tires in this size. As... -
Showoff Your LR4
Hey there - my wife just told me she created a hashtag for cool photos from our Rover trips. I haven't been using it, but the hashtag is #LR4LatitudeAdjustment . I'll start tagging photos with that on Instagram as well. -
2012 LR4 Dual Battery Install - Part 3 - Finishing batt, ECU & controller.
Note - Please read Part 1 and Part 2 of this thread as needed for tips on clearing out the 2nd battery bay on the 2012 LR4, getting the battery bay cleared of the ECU and horn, and getting 2nd bay ready for installing the battery. I recommend a very long Phillips screwdriver for this part of... -
Showoff Your LR4
Hi there - I had to LOL when I got the plate - go figure. I think there were other variations on LR4 also available, so if you don't mind the extra fee it might be worth trying a few combinations. The RTT is from Yakima, and it is their 3 person version. They have a smaller 2 person, but... -
Showoff Your LR4
Funny it was available, right??? Hi there - yes I am - if you PM me I will follow you and send a few more photos. -
Traxide D3-DU dual battery kit on 2013 LR4 Help Please..
Question - where did you get the battery hold down bracket that fits in the LR4 2nd battery bay? I couldn't find one when I did mine in 2018 and had to get creative in building one that would work. Having a link to the one that fits that bay would be SUPER HELPFUL for others!!! -
2012 LR4 Dual Battery Install - Part 2 - Clearing the bay & Securing Battery
OOPS! Not sure what happened to my post, but the pictures at the end of Part 2 belong up near the top. The set of photos showing up at bottom show the process of removing the ECU, which is the first step in this part. Sorry for the error! -
2012 LR4 Dual Battery Install - Part 2 - Clearing the bay & Securing Battery
Please see my post "2012 LR4 Dual Battery Install - Part 1" for the start of this story. Now that I had the 2nd battery bay open and my primary components were on hand - 2nd battery and DIY controller kit - I was ready to begin removing items in the 2nd battery bay, which is located on the...
