Top Hatch Won't Open - What to Replace?
Most definitely. I’ve replaced it already and can tell a huge difference. It was probably going when I bought it but I didn’t know what it was supposed to be like. -

Top Hatch Won't Open - What to Replace?
Yep, I found your thread when searching for an upgrade path. I ended up doing the poor mans version since it’s only to be used in the event of a failure. I used some parachord and 1/4 fridge water tubing to make my own. The rope is looped under the L-shaped part of the cable so if it comes off... -

Top Hatch Won't Open - What to Replace?
I wonder what the possibility of upgrading to the 14-16 actuator and latch is. Now that I've gotten into this one, I can tell it has been replaced before. Seems like a 50,000 mile part. lol I have a video of the actuator. It isn't strong enough to pull itself in even with no load on it... -

Top Hatch Won't Open - What to Replace?
Yeah, the actuator is physically working, but doesn’t sound strong enough to pull the latch open. I don’t think anything has come loose because I can pull up on the cable and pop the latch. Most that have something come off has to push in line with a tool to pop the latch. I’ll try and clean... -

Top Hatch Won't Open - What to Replace?
I had my top hatch fail on my '13, and I'm not sure what to replace. I've fairly certain that it's the actuator, as I can pull the cable and get it open. The cable is still attached at both ends. I can hear the noise when the button is pressed, but the hatch won't open. I have gotten the... -

Suggestions and Ideas for Recovery Points on ARB Bumper
I wonder what is structurally different in the two bumpers. I was thinking of using those hoists and putting them on where the high-lift jack points are. If you want to get some photos, that may be helpful to the community, but not a necessity. I’ll get some photos of where I’m planning to put... -

Suggestions and Ideas for Recovery Points on ARB Bumper
avslash, do you have the ARB bumper? The shop said that there wasn’t enough structure and space to use anything they had. That means if I want em, I’ll have to use those hoist ring types. I’m interested is photos of what you have. -

Suggestions and Ideas for Recovery Points on ARB Bumper
The ARB has winch mout to bumper and bumper to frame. I looked at those, and didn’t think that a single bolt would be enough surface area to be pulling on the ARB skin. Plus, I don’t know enough to find a retaining clip to secure the ring to protect the bumper. And black oxide surface rusts... -

Suggestions and Ideas for Recovery Points on ARB Bumper
Yeah, the more I think about it and measure the bumper, the more I’m leaning toward the third photo option as the rest are just too big to fit anywhere with some structure. I may just forget about them and carry some extra straps to wrap around the bumper in the event. -

Suggestions and Ideas for Recovery Points on ARB Bumper
The winch mounts feet forward to a plate on the bumper. Seems like ARB just dropped them from a lot of their bumpers over time. -

Suggestions and Ideas for Recovery Points on ARB Bumper
I bought mine with an ARB bumper already attached. I like it, but it’s missing key recovery points in its design. They rely on the factory tow eye which is mostly ok, but with the abundance of mud and ruts here in the southeast, that’s the first thing that gets buried. I’m looking to add some... -

Installing LR3 Xenon's into an LR4 with halogens?
Have you got part numbers or a place to purchase by any chance? I’ve contacted PowerfulUK, but they only sell the RHD units. eBay has tons of different part numbers and it’s quite confusing. -

Installing LR3 Xenon's into an LR4 with halogens?
^^ please don’t, as I’ll be tempted to upgrade to 2014+ headlamps then upgrade their projectors! I kid of course. The more info we have here the better.
