Showoff Your LR4
Brasil landie here. Had some fun in the mountains in Minas Gerais. A lot of very sticky mud there. Camped inside the car for a couple of days to see how it would go. Couple of mods on the green lady: - Mantec raised air intake - Frontrunner roof rack - Frontrunner aux battery support - CTEK aux... -
Leaf and debris catcher
I cut a hole on the plastic right under where the hood drains drop all this junk, but I think an opening somewhere lower, closer to the base of the plastic wheel well liner, where all this debris tend to deposit on would also help. Might be a quick future mod. -
Luxury LR Upgrade BT audio streamer vs. BOVEE
Seems sketchy. Bovee is known to be amazing for what it proposes to do, and the sound is great, especially if you have the Logic7 system. I have owned a Bovee for two years now and I wouldn't change. I tried a cheaper one from amazon that looked EXACTLY like the one on the link and it wouldn't...- Willi

Rear Locker
sorry for necro-ing a post, but the wiring that plugs into the rear diff motor is already there? When I lifted the cab on mine, I couldn't find a connector or anything that looked like it plugged into the diff if it had the HD package. I really want to install a locking rear diff and I already... -
Thoughts on 2021 Bronco as LR4 replacement?
the lack of a diesel version really bothers me. I can understand emission standards and all that, but diesel engines can be made to meed these standards. I prefer the ease of long-range autonomy and the possiblity or running a fuel-burning diesel heater and engine all from a single tank. As... -
White, steel, Defender-style 18" wheels for LR4?
Yeah, I noticed the load rate is really low, I might check if there is any way to improve on that and I'm also aware that the declared load rate and limit load rate are different. VW engineer friend of mine assured me those steelies can handle way more because they are also used on the VW... -
White, steel, Defender-style 18" wheels for LR4?
I learned that here in Brazil the VW Amarok uses 18" steel wheels for some of the commercial versions of the truck. I'll see if I can put my hands on one and confirm if it clears the brake calipers or if they need spacers. They also use the 5x120 lug pattern, so if it clears everything, it would... -
Just installed Cooper S/T Maxx tires on 18" BMW wheels
I'm still considering steel rims instead of alloys: https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/land-rover-discovery/discovery-3/wheels-and-tyres/tf152-terrafirma-18-x-8-steel-modular-wheel-satin-black-only-fit-if-had-17-rims-standard-suitable-for-disco-3-load-rating-1500kg-and-44-pcd-5x120-and.html... -
LS SWAP - Yeah... Really
Now, the question I need answered: Can I fit a Cummins V8 diesel with the 8-speed gearbox? Maybe downsize to a V6.... Get the reliability and lifetime of a diesel beast with the 8 gears comfort and hopefully the amazing terrain response... -
Driving/Auxiliary/Work light switch location
thanks, it did help a lot. I might use the place where you put the traxxide and cell phone booster switch to mount the aux tank gauge/switch (since I'll be fabricating my own and I have no idea where I can find one like yours). I also decided to use the light/sunroof plastic housing to mount... -
It BETTER NOT Look Like the Concept Vehicle!
Now THIS is one thing I would love to see. But no hover conversion. Where is the fun in hovering over obstacles when you can CRAWL all over them? But yeah, I already know of electric motors with quite the oomph and are waterproofed/watercooled and reliable. And considering you'll be getting... -
Driving/Auxiliary/Work light switch location
Hello everyone Right now I'm working on getting the Disco4 up to spec. I'm planning on mounting LED driving lights in front of the grille, as well as LED spots and a bar on the rack (I'm currently fabricating) and a work lights on the rear and maybe sides. The only problem I have right now is... -
Top Cooling Hose Permanent Fix 3.0TDV6
Here is the bend section after the welds and machining: End result after cutting the hose and connecting everything: And the bad boy installed in the car: Decided against cutting the engine cover since the bend made it all pretty safe. The plastic can rub against the steel all it... -
Top Cooling Hose Permanent Fix 3.0TDV6
Well, I got visited by the ghost of the top coolant shred: Engine cover was rubbing it hard and was about to slice it open. I checked how much a new hose would set me back and decided that I could do one better with some stainless scrap I had laying around. So decided to get my hands dirty and... -
