Lower Control Arms Poly Bushing Upgrade only one bushing?
Just had the wheel alignment done and the ride is So Much better! The harsh ride over road imperfections and holes is gone. It now rides like a new truck. Well worth the effort to replace the lower control arms with OEM parts. -

Buying Used LR4 versus Mercedes G550
I watched a video of a guy fixing the lockers. I learned that they require vacuum and hydraulics to operate. In his case the pump didn't work, the hydraulic lines were clogged because they were never used and the actuators were sticking. Cheap on parts buts lots of time trouble shooting and... -

Buying Used LR4 versus Mercedes G550

Upgraded LED turn signal bulbs
I am curious how long the bulbs last. I bought some fog light and cornering bulbs (4) for another vehicle. 2 lasted about 8 months. It appears that cold and humidity are the culprit. -

I just received the OEM Lower Control Arms. I also learned the rear busing has fluid in it where the aftermarket does not. I will replace them and see if the ride harshness changes. -

Installed CarPlay
The one I installed is: https://a.co/d/06rceM9e The videos I used were: In the first video he removes the center console cover which makes the removal of the side panels around the vertical console much easier. When you remove the side panels, it's possible one of the clips will fall off so... -

I installed an Amazon purchased CarPlay adapter. Wireless CarPlay Receiver SmartBox for Land Rover Took about 2 hours since I was careful when opening the dash and console. It works fine but sometimes takes some time to connect automatically. If I go onto my iPhone settings and connect the...
