    2013 LR4 headlight lenses on eBay

    Odd- my experience says otherwise. Simply removing the surface imperfections with progressively finer wet sanding, followed by rubbing compound isn’t enough. You’ve got to immediately follow up with a polymer sealant/protectant. I’ve restored several dozen headlights from various mfgs and never...

    2013 LR4 headlight lenses on eBay

    I used the following kit from amazon on my '12 LR4...worked great if you take the time to mask off the edges - work was done in less than 30 min for both lenses. 3M Headlight Lens Restoration System, 39008 Available on Amazon

    DrPro- Are you looking for this ? If so, I have one. I'm in PDX. Let's haggle.

    LR4 Summer 50/50 Tire Recs

    Apparently 18” on an LR4 m are a pain in the keester, spacers are needed. Going to stick with the 19” for now

    LR4 Summer 50/50 Tire Recs

    Hi all- I drive a 2012 LR4 HSE with the 19" factory wheels. I'm looking for a decent all-around tire for summer use that is capable of on and off-road challenges found in the Pacific Northwest and still highway capable. I had Falkens and AT2s on my LR3 and want something similar. Any suggestions?

    Suspension noise (possibly lower control arm)

    Lift it and start wiggling things....IMHO, youre due for LCA bushings at least.

    Go for the easy stuff first…..When were the wheels last balanced

    Do you have any free play on your rear wheels when it's on a lift? Grab the wheel -pushing 3 o'clock and pulling and 9 o'clock, then reversing. Then check at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. If you sense any play it will warrant further investigating.

    Does your ASC / ABS engage in mildly sporty cornering? I had a similar issue in an LR3....with the ASC activation at speed in curves. I thought it was tires....It turned out to be a fried rear wheel bearing. It wouldn't hurt to have someone re-balance your tires and look for missing weights...

    Water on passengerside floor board (not sunroof drains)

    It hasn’t been …..the issue is that the hinge for the arm is spring-loaded, which makes pulling it off the splined shaft straight, challenging. Hence the suggestion for a prying tool. I have encountered some minor corrosion on the drive splines that has made things tight but a squirt of TPS...

    Water on passengerside floor board (not sunroof drains)

    I live in Western OR.....lots of rain here. It's been my experience (on LR3s mostly) that aftermarket cowl covers are more problematic that OEM. Wither way, I'd apply some RTV silicone to the edges.
