Best online source form a oem timing chain kit?
Welcome to the LR4 owners club! If you plan to have a mechanic do the chain work its normally best if they buy the parts that way they are held responsible for them. When I bought my '12 it needed chains too.- powershift

Valvoline Restore & Protect?
At best it probably wont hurt. It sounds like a gimmick all around when reading their product page.- powershift

Channel covers off - cleanup complete.
I tried lifting up on the cover and it tweaks up by hand so it may not need tools unless I need to be prying further down. I didn't put too much pressure without having the plastic push pins because it felt like I could break or bend something if I kept pulling up lol. But on both sides the...- powershift

Channel covers off - cleanup complete.
Are they designed such that you can take them on and off repeatedly? I was thinking about mounting an antenna off one of the bolt holes, but only periodically. That way it could mount a 4g/5g booster antenna to stream maps and pandora out in BFE. I haven't figured out where to mount the antenna...- powershift

Crazy to consider new engine in a 2016 LR4?
When I was shopping for engines I was lead on by a company that said their 5.0L remans had more power because they were bored out. He was selling them off his site and ebay. Doing the math from the numbers he gave me, its "bored" to 307 CI vs 305 CI. More power across the entire RPM band he...- powershift

Nice cleanup work. That looked like a recipe for rust. How did you pull the channel covers off?- powershift

Crazy to consider new engine in a 2016 LR4?
I've never had that happens so I was curious how they are concluding that coolant is getting into the exhaust is all, no suggestions sorry. My coolant is pinkish (as is dexcool), not sure how they started with blue unless they are dying the coolant and chemical reactions from exhaust change the...- powershift

Sorry to hear that, David. So when they did the pressure test, they drop the exhaust header, run the test and then visibly see coolant dripping out of the exhaust port(s)? It sounds like there would need to be a coolant channel right next to the exhaust outlet on the head for there to be a...- powershift

Windscreen Vendors ?
Those side covers are critical to get right and the windshield needs to be set perfectly. My windshield didn't get lined up perfectly so when there is a side-wind on the freeway the pillar covers make noise.- powershift

Opening the rear hatch
I looked at that and decided that I didn't need it and enter/exit through the passenger door. The starter battery is disconnected when overlanding so the battery doesn't drain. One consequence is not having the hatch work even with the bypass. In weather like we have now in the Mohave (104F) I...- powershift

Post back what you find. It wouldn't hurt to drop the skid plate and inspect underneath if you haven't done that already. I do that when changing oil, its good practice so that I can spot any new leaks even though I don't expect any. Hypothetically, fluid could get caught on top of the plate...- powershift

Door deadening
I planned a Car PC to run my apps. I don't have a need for carplay or androids version atm. What I'd like to do in this area when budget allows is to fit a permanent Lifepo4 battery pack to run a computer to host my web based apps for overlanding. But I could also plug in my refer too. I've had...- powershift
