Valve Cover Gasket / Front Timing Cover Questions
Don't bother replacing the gaskets on the vacuum pump. Won't work. Get a new genuine or Pierburg pump (upgraded). There are a lot of cheap copies for sale but I wouldn't try those.

Replacing Lower Control Arms 2016 LR4 HD

Cloud of Smoke

Interesting Overland setup
Video is in German but with subs you can understand his comments. Most intersting is how he fitted the airline rails with supports for jerry cans and kitchen box. If one would add a nice interior storage system it would be a very nice Overland LR4. PS: the jerrycan holders are from... -
