LR4 "Gearbox not in Park" - Dial shifter stuck in Drive
Title says it all. Wife came home this morning and the dial shifter wouldn't shift out of Drive. I activated the e-brake and turned the car off (probably not a great idea?) thinking I would disconnect the battery for 10-15 minutes and see if that helped. It didn't. Now the car won't start, the... -
Lower control arm replacements
Had my brakes swapped yesterday and the mechanic noticed my LCA's were making noise when the car came to a stop. I hadn't noticed anything up to that point (not saying it didn't exist), but when he hopped in and did a rolling stop at slow speeds, the sound was much more noticeable. He also... -
Replacement engine
I can't help you with sourcing a new / remanufactured engine so apologies for that, however I'm curious what your stance is on simply sourcing another used LR4 instead of going down the path of rebuilding an engine? Even at a cost of $10,500, you're close to 1/3 the cost of a newer (2012+ model... -
Showoff Your LR4
I agree with @ryanjl - you've lost approach angle, front ground clearance, and from the photos it looks like you've effectively nullified your ability to use the front factory tow hook. I'd say losing those three qualities for the marginal protection bull bars offer is not worth it. -

4x4 sPOD or comparable power distribution suggestions?
I haven't pulled the trigger yet on either - but I'm leaning toward the SP-9100 primarily due to the cost difference. Once I do the install I'll make sure to swing back around and update this post with how it went and what I think. -
Anyone running Tuffant steel wheels yet?
18" ET44 on Nitto Ridge Grapplers 265/65/18 which have performed beautifully in a lot of different situations and environments. Pictures below. -
4x4 sPOD or comparable power distribution suggestions?
I'm not a fan of cutting into the interior either which is why the 4x4 sPOD looked like a good option. You run an ethernet cable through the fire-wall and connect to the switch panel that can be mounted using tradition suction-cup/sticky mounts in the cabin. That sounds awesome but I would... -
4x4 sPOD or comparable power distribution suggestions?
I purchased the ProSpeedUK Discovery 4 Front Spotlight Mounts with two TripleR-750 LazerLamps and I'm now in the process of...looking for a way to actually hook them up. I probably should've figured that out before I actually bought the lights, but here we are. Since I know next to nothing... -
HD vs non-HD package LR4
I'm not sure my hood or visibility would appreciate a massive 100lb spare tire mounted on the front. BUT, don't tempt me. -
HD vs non-HD package LR4
I have a non-stock 32in. tire, and unfortunately I don't think it'll fit without deflating. Heard different? -
HD vs non-HD package LR4
I've heard you can deflate a full-size and fit it underneath the vehicle, but that doesn't change the fact that the spare-tire is in a terrible location for a trail vehicle. If you ever get bogged down in heavy snow/mud/sand, good luck getting the spare tire out. This is why many people find... -
Question for LR4 owners that switched to 18" wheels
265/65 R18's with TuffAnt MKII ET27's on Nitto Ridge Grappler here. What TuffAnt has told you is exactly my experience. My Ridge Grappler's were brand new and in full lock to the right it would rub on the frame horn (sounds weird at first but it's not doing any damage to the tire/vehicle). Oddly... -
HD vs non-HD package LR4
I was wrong, I had 68,000+ miles on my old LR4 while the new one has 76,000+, so really it's an 8,000 mile difference give or take. LR4 HSE 2016 [OLD] (68,000 miles) options: Silver Edition Package Black Lacquer Finish Interior Trim Black Design Pakcage w/ 20 Inch Black Wheels Climate Comfort... -
HD vs non-HD package LR4
Update: After some thoughtful replies from this community, I decided to make a move and trade-up for an LR4 that has the HD package. Funny enough, the Landmark Edition LR4 with 76,000 miles I found was at the same dealership I purchased my first LR4 from. I was worried it would be a...
